My $250 prize thread courtest of skybook - UPDATED FOR WEDNESDAY'S PLAYS!

I will post my plays here until I lose the $$$ or get a payout. Should be fun to see.

I should note that these picks are not by ANY MEANS what I am really gambling on using my own accounts, but just for fun of the contest.

Taking the safe route for my first play here.

By the way, I look for the 2 above games to only have about 4 runs each!

Well I won both of my parlays yesterday. The Yankees had me worried for a LONG TIME, but my under bet was sweet the whole NIGHT!! Current balance sits at


$557.97!

Not bad for the first day. I have rolled over 1 time thus far. After today if will be 3x rollover!

First play of the day! Taking the safe again, although I actually bet both of these teams at the run line at another book.

Now for an underdog parlay that I LOVE TONIGHT!!
Well ok, not much of a dog, but I am suprised to see Detroit a favorite. last night as I was handicapping, I was thinking Detroit would be like +130 or so.

Now for an under parlay! By the way, MONTREAL game scores NO MORE than 3 runs today in my opinion, the 8.5 is an early Christmas present. Clemens pitches a shutout today OF COURSE, but I am a bit worried about the Astros scoring like 10 runs today! I look for a 5-0 Houston win hopefully! The Pitt under is just because Pitt sucks and you should ALWAYS take them under the day after a high scoring day for them. High scoring for PITT would be 4 or more runs
