    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?

    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.

    just as I predicted. Went on tilt and depleted the bankroll. Why not just stop betting with the 1200 in pocket and go out on top. Changes systems half way thru the season. He's in, He's out. He's a loser, flash in the pan.
