some painful endings in Game 1 Minnesota, and then Game 2 Cleveland

especially Cleveland, thought they had that game won after taking the lead bottom 8th. Couple of walks issued by Brad Hand the closer opened the door for some infield hits by the Yankees in the top of the 9th, I didn't even check to see if they were scored as errors, don't think so.

Let's see what happens with the pending Lakers series wager:

Today I have used a "stolen" pick for the first time in the thread. Let's review "The Rules" 1a-d for this thread, with special attention to Rule 1b:

THE RULES:

1a. I will post my picks for all sports right here in one tidy thread.

1b. If the pick is not mine originally (stolen), I will reference the source to give credit, but still take responsibility for the outcome as if it were my own. This stipulation is required by Mr. Gold and being underwritten by the Cowardly Volatile Futility Sportsbetting Corporation, Inc.

1c. Both of the above will be tracked to produce my ongoing Quivering All-Sports record.


1d. FLAT BETTING ONLY: Every pick will ALWAYS be risking 1 unit.

Collllllllllld streak puts me on the verge of switching from handicapping to playing lotto picks, just to makeup some ground. Doing some of both with the following selections:


Monday Oct.5

MLB AL Divisional Series - Game 1

MLB NL Divisional Series - before Game 1

Message to the tens of thread viewers: You don't want to fade the next few picks. Been putting in work to snap this cold streak, and had 3 new psychic reading sessions, very specific.

I still have the bogus Marlins futures pending which I can't do anything about now, but don't forget the Lakers 4-1 series prop still pending also, which will hit Friday in Game 5. NFL Sunday will have a couple blockbuster thrillers, just awaiting a better number on those.

I was shocked the Lakers did not closeout in Game 5

That pick and the Marlins futures were booked previous to my Thursday plays.

Been hosed late in the last 3 weeks of Philadelphia Eagles games involving the moneyline wagers. They hung with the Steelers at Pittsburgh the whole game, then missed a late long field goal for the lead. Then Baltimore had them whooped, until the Ravens decided to stop playing, and the Eagles end up losing by 2 points after not converting an earlier 2 point senseless try, which forced them to try for 2 on a potential last minute game-tying attempt, which failed. So then a couple nights ago on Thursday, I see the Giants gain an 11-point lead out of nowhere with 4 minutes remaining.... and this time they find a way to blow it.

Moral of the story is....? Perhaps no more Eagles moneylines for me
