The Meltdown

We are on a losing streak, and we watch the Mets-Nationals game pitch by pitch.

Just like we thought and predicted, Lannan went 7 strong, and Redding continued his solid pitching in the past 6 weeks. 4-2 Mets going into the bottom of the 9th. All-Star KRod about to come in and shut the door right?

Wrong!

I watched KRod set the c4 and charges up, little gasoline trail.... 1st and 2nd, no out......

Bases Loaded, 2 outs... Adam Dunn up, and he could not even throw him a fastball and walks in a run. 4-3.

I see a small brush fire from the south in Maryland...

BOOM! Some scrub Maxwell hits a grand slam off a 10 million dollar closer that threw 40 pitches in an inning!!!! Nats win 7-4.

See the mushroom cloud over Maryland now.... oh no wait... thats my house.

Now we are in offical meltdown mode! YOU SUCK KROD!!!!!! DAMN ARSONIST!!!!

By the way, humor me. Why the hell does ESPN have a televised game on a Wed. night between, Hawaii and Louisiana Tech????

1. Gambling Purposes Only

2. Vegas needed funding for anew hotel.

3. To set up Hawaii's midnight home games as The Bailout Games for the rest of the season for us junkies that need to break even for the night and week.

I lost track of how much we are down the past week.... let me check......

Bankroll is now at $7,575. OUCH! Time to scroll down the monetray units in each wage until we get back on the horse.

The Red Sox are resting their starters after clinching the Wild Card. Jon Lester is also on the mound. The Indians are complete victims. Under 9.5 is for me.

Risk $230 to Win $200

Lincecum-Haren in the afternoon? Let me tell you. Both have struggled lately, and the O/U line is 6.5? Yes, I am going there. Desperate times. Over 6.5. Arizona-SF.

Risk $230 to Win $200

Finally, on ESPN tonight, Colorado, who got curbstomped by Toledo earlier in the season, head to West Virginia, which should be a revenge game for the Mountaineers. Noel Devine goes nuts.....

Risk $220 to Win $200 on WVU -16.5

Risk $220 to Win $200 on the Over 55.

And now, im headed to a GA (Gamblers An.) meeting. Maybe I will meet Al Pacino in there and tell us that he is topping out at 80% this season. (Two for the Money reference)

Slightly back on the winning way

2-1 Thursday is the right way to get back on track. Hit both baseball games, but we are still getting taken advatage of in Coll. Football, with even getting offered a drink or dinner.

The Bankroll is now $9,855.

Last time I saw Nevada play, they got destroyed by Notre Dame. Missouri is actually playing pretty well.

Let's take Mizzou tonight -7 (buying the half point at -105) to -115

Risk $345 to Win $300

Tonight in baseball, we just simply cannot believe that Timmy Terrific Lincecum will lose two straight on home.  We also think that the Giants will get some runs off of lunatic headcase Carlos Zambrano.

Risk $330 to Win $200 on Lincecum and the Giants

Risk $315 to Win $300 on the Over 7.

I am dreading College Football Saturday. I feel like Laline in Carlito's Way in the wheelchair. "Just keeeeiiillllll me now ya cawkkkkkkksauckkkkerrrr!"

Dull Night

Nothing special on the night session last night. We missed on the Over in the Rays-Orioles game, as the rookie Chris Tillman pitched very well, and by some strange force, so did Andy Sonnastine. Funny though, the Rays yanked Sonnastine in the 6th, after 75 pitches, damn! We were praying this 2-1 game in the 8th would of ended that way, because there was a big rain delay in the 8th inning, of a meaningless game.

Remember, Over/Under bets in baseball have to complete 8.5 innings, otherwise the wage is void.

We did hit the Over in the Cubs-Brewers game in real easy fashion. It went Over in the 4th inning, so you could of went to punch in your ticket at the window and gotten to sleep early.

The bankroll took a $15 hit, to $9,775. Big deal, so I can't hit The Sizzler for one night.

We are going to stick with the trend of day/night sessions for another day since it worked effectively yesterday. I know, I need help, but it is too late for me. That train left the station a long time ago.

Let's take the Royals on the road this afternoon, with the best pitcher in baseball on the hill. No, Tim Lincecum did not get traded to KC. Zach Greinke is on the hill though. The wager is at -105.

Greinke is 2-1 with a sub 1.20 ERA in four starts this season against the Tigers.

Risk $315 to Win $300.

Staying on the same game, day game after night game, some starters may not be playing, etc. Plus, the Tigers have Edwin Jackson on the hill to counter Greinke, who is no stiff whatsoever. Let's take the Under as well.

Risk $375 to Win $300.

We will be back in the afternoon for night wages. Hopefully, we will be in the black and can have a fiesta like no other!

Baseball 5-5.... for now.

Banging Head on Desk

It's always nice to start off 0-4 right? Last night, we took the gaspipe because of Tim Lincecum's back, Jason Marquis pitching like its the Little League World Series again, and let's face it, the Reds really do suck balls.

The bankroll dropped $440 from last night's loss. We are now at $8,075. Down 20% already.

God, I do not want to start going with the teasers and parlays just yet...

Tonight, we are going with the Houston Astros at home. Wandy Rodriguez is 11-2 at home this season in games he starts. So tonight, we will go $625 risking to win $500 (-125) , riding the left arm of Wandy.

We will also do a small parlay tonight, just an attempt to make some moves here. We will wager $200 on the Arizona Diamondbacks and ace Dan Haren at home (-122), and the Over in the game (8.5 @ -115) since former Diamondback and Dodger start Jon Garland is 3-10 when it comes to O/U's this season in the desert.
The thrid game we will toss into this, is the Detriot Tigers on the road against a weak KC Royals team. Tigers have Verlander on the hill, so we are confident, even  @ -187.

So tonight's bets are:

$625 to win $500 tonight on the Houston Astros.

3 Team Parlay (If you need to know the definition of parlay, dont taint yourself, run away from this blog).
DBacks -122, Dodgers-DBacks Over 8.5 @-115, and Det -187,

$200 to win $844.25.

I need a winner badly. Do not let me down.

We got scratched...

Giants starting pitcher Tim Lincecum was scratched from his start tonight for back spasms. I should've mentioned this in the previous blog, but any baseball bet I make is with Listed Pitchers, meaning, if one of the starting pitchers do not start that game, the wage is called off.

Now, to offset this, I will take the Over 9.5 in the Reds-Rockies game for $400.

So now, the wage is Over 9.5, risking $440 to win $400.

Wish me luck, otherwise, we might be bridejumping sooner than expected.

The Bloodbath

I made the first mistake of being a degenerate this weekend. I bet on the opening weekend of a sport basically on the blind. I only knew about what I saw from these teams last year and went with it. Well, it cost me in the wallet.

I took the Over Oregon-Boise St., and a team that averaged close to 40 a game last year, didn't have a first down until the 3rd quarter. Just rip up that ticket.

Then, I had the Over in the Illinois-Missouri game. Illinois is loaded atheletically and should put up 30. Wrong! Illinois lost their best player, WR Arreilous Benn early in the game, and they could not score for their lives. Another torn ticket.

Last, I was hoping LSU could salvage my weekend against Washington. Washington was horrific last season, and LSU brought back most of their team from last year. Well, the Huskies just moved the ball up and down the field all night, and LSU winds up not covering. If that garbage touchdown at the end of the game would've cost me this bet, my foot would've went into my TV, ala James Caan in The Gambler with his radio in the bathtub losing a basketball bet when Jerry West missed 3 free throws in a row, and outta nowhere you heard, "SPENCER HAYWOOD!"

Let's try to look at this in a positive way. At least we got the bloodbath over with early. Now, it is time to roll out the winners left and right.

Here is how we look after last weekend:

Lost $1485 ($550+$550+$385), so the bankroll is down to $8515. (I feel like the stock market at the end of George W. Bush's presidency).

We need an easy and fast winner, so what will we do?

In Tim Lincecum we trust...especially against the Padres.

We will wager $810 to win $300 on the SF Giants on Tuesday at -270.

We will also wager $342 to win $300 on the Run Line in the same game (win by more than 1.5 runs) at -114.

Hopefully, this game is in the bag, otherwise, I should just start writing a blog on my trip to Gambler's Anonymous.
