    Rockies(Colorado) Hammel 06/18/10(21:10 ET)
    Rockies(Colorado) -1.5 (+115)

    Diamondbacks(Arizona) Willis 5
    Tigers(Detroit) Galarraga 7 06/18/10(19:10 ET)
    Tigers(Detroit) -1.5

    Royals(KansasCity) Bannister 4

    You play too many games...

    Try one game at a time.

    Thats how I do it. It keeps losing streaks from piling up.

      Dude, I hit four of these five games individually and in the parlay.

      It's the one goddam total I threw in there that ruined the parlay. I originally had SEA in there instead -- if they win, I'll puke.

            That over was screaming at me from last night on. I tried to avoid it, but threw it in there at the last minute.

            It wasn't even close.

                  I hate totals. I went 7-2 today in the SBR Contest. I still wouldn't bother risking my money on them.

                            How did I know that was coming.

                              If you're going to do parlays and you have that many, were it me, I'd make multiple two-team parlays covering all the combos. Trust me, it works.

                                I know, TA -- I just threw this one together for fun. As you can see, just $5.

                                Of course, now I'm kicking myself in retrospect.

                                At least I played them all individually as well. My leans went 3-1 as well -- TB, TB over, Cleveland and Toronto. So I can't complain -- just frustrated this happened.
