Please recheck the grading for woodg8. I have a different number.

[thezbar]

I see the mistake I made. The grading appears correct.

[woodg8]

I'm confused, I have Yankees over 5.5 and Yankees win, they both won, so shouldn't I move from 2-1 to 4-1 and 2.99?

[woodg8]

Right, I see what happened. I thought the over 5.5 was for the full game...

Can I have not have that bet cancelled due to an error on my part?

[thezbar]

Looks like the bet was a total for the first five innings which was al osing wager. Having this Selection cancelled would open up a can of worms at this point. At the race track they say always check your tickets before leaving the window. Here it should be always check your posts before the event goes. This match is up for grabs at this point!

[woodg8]

Fair enough, I'll accept it, my fault.

Anyway, good luck with the final bets, this has been tight.

[thezbar]

Right, I see what happened. I thought the over 5.5 was for the full game...

Can I have not have that bet cancelled due to an error on my part?

The lowest total I've seen for a baseball game is 6.5 and that was two aces were starting on the mounts. Sometimes sevens will show up. In my many years of following sports gambling I have never seen a 5.5 total for a game. If it looks to good to be true it most likely is as the old saying goes.

[woodg8]

Do the last 3 bets have to be in by today?

No doubt I'll regret this but I'd like to cancel this bet and have a rethink tomorrow.

[woodg8]

Sorry, can't make up my ****ing mind. This is final, I'm sticking by that pick and going all or nothing here. Hail Mary's all over the joint.

Don't blame yourself. The bottom line is picking winners then deciding which ones to use in this format. Learn from this. Luck is involved. JJ was one serve from senting that tennis match into the thrid set. She had much more gas in the tank and would have tough. She wins I'm done. I had winners and losers that I didn't use here and so did you. In some ways this is a decision making contest also. If you need to place blame I'd look at the Bengals first.
