    Rangers / Royals

    Man can these guys hit. Back to back homers from the #9 and 1 hitters with 2 out.

    I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop but in the meantime I am riding them, have been for about 5 weeks now.

    This game is far from over. Texas has no pitching whatsoever.

    I liked him because of his home and day game splits.

    Very humid and wind blowing out hard. We will probably see a lot more scoring.

    Actually the one thing you and I both missed, which I should have known is that Bannister is a fly ball pitcher. The last time he had similiar wind conditions he got absolutely rocked and even admited after the game that has never had a good game in the wind.

    And all tied up. This game could end 15-13. All they have to do is hit in the air and its going yard.

    I shouldn't have jinxed the Rangers by starting this thread when they had the lead. Not looking good for me.

    Once again its never over in KC, although having Soria will help a bit. This game didn't exactly play out the way envisioned, but if they can hold on I will take it. I thought the Royals would get to the rookie early.

    So angry right now instead of +2200 on the day Im -2200 all because of a half inning. Get ready for my downward spiral this is usually what sets it off.

    I lost over 700 on the Rangers -- pretty close to the most I've ever had on a game -- but luckily made it back with Arizona's comeback win.

    Don't be so down, that will make u do poorly for sure. That's what happened to me in past seasons. You have to look at this game and think about where you went wrong. For one, you bet on the team with the worst bullpen in the majors, that doesn't help. While their offense is very good, a crap bullpen can erase all that. That's why the starting pitching matchup has to be very uneven for me bet the Rangers.

    Rangers have been good to me, I can't complain. I would do this one again at +117, no question.

    Money Management is the key and unfortunately I am not very good at it. I am probably right about 60% of the time if not more, but the 40% is usually chasing it all the way down. Should be the opposite. Its hard but if you down take a breather and come back later. Easier said then done because the degenerate in all of us loves the come back win on a rough start.

    Agreed. You can't chase. Just as you get losing streaks, you get winning streaks. Have to be patient or you get buried. Bankrolls can bounce back faster than you think, even with correspondingly reduced bet sizes.
