Reds -1.5 +180 on Thursday

I'm doing OK in baseball, certainly in the black, and on a little uptick

I liked the Reds Thursday, I didn't want to lay the juice on them and the +180 looked very attractive

I really never do run lines, don't like laying 1.5 runs. I also talk like laying big chalk, so if I like a large favorite I'll usually parlay that game but still don't lay 1.5 runs.

Anyhow, I did just that Thursday, gave away 1.5 runs, and my worst fear came true. Go fucking figure.

Reds were up 5-0 after 5 and 5-2 entering the ninth.

Baddafuckingbing, an infield hit and a two run homer and they only win 5-4, I lose

Gambling can be so fucking cruel, you break one of your own rules one fucking day and the gambling gods ream it up your ass. A $ 500+ 9th inning home run, dirty bastards

i had toronto ml a week or so ago when they played the A's. Clippard comes in with a 4-1 lead in the 8th with 1 out and a guy on second and third. Gets an out. Intentially walks a guy to give up a grand slam the next batter. Lost 5-4. it was the only inning which the A's scored. Watched clippard with the nats for years and honestly knew it was coming.

Yep. Some years back had more than I like to usually wager on the Tigers. They were up by 3 heading to the bottom of the ninth...Need I say more

Baseball takes nerves of steel to wager on it. 2-3 bad pitches and a 5-0 game is tied in the blink of an eye.

Willie, you ever take the -1.0 to get a happy medium. Sometimes if I feel really strong about it but just can't pull the trigger on -1.5, I'll sometimes go with the -1.0.
