      I am catching hell on earth from my wife, I just told her about this bet thinking that she would be happy that I am probably about to be done with betting. Instead, she screams and asks me how I could put $1200 + dollars on a sucker bet (she knows how bad of a bet this is). I told her what I am about to tell you guys who can't believe this:

      I am at a point in my life where I no longer feel it is worth my time to cap, watch and sweat games on a $1K bankroll. I want to do more important things with my time. I make about $89K a year in my job, the time commitement here is not worth it relative to that. Therefore, this bet was a calcualted decision that will take me down one of two paths: 1. I start focusing on new things, or 2. I inherit a $12K + bankroll and capping/betting/watching becomes worth my time. This is truly the decision of a man who is happy with either result.

      Also, in June I already cashed out all the money I put into baseball this year, plus some. This bet for me is a life experience that I want to have on "house money".

          Durito or Granchow: could one of you guys be bothered to please tell me what my chances are --percentage-wise-- of winning this bet. My calculations are about 9%. Am I way off?

            Alright, back to work for me. I'm leaving early today. Hopefully I survive into the night games.

            Guys, this has been fun. Seriously

                    wrong. It's the same. And lines could change during the cubs game. Or rain delay. GL Saint.

                                    I have no confidence in Howry. I will probably check-out right here in the first game.

                                      Howry is going to be the one to kill a $1200 parlay. I will remember his name my whole life.
