I must say that it surprises me to hear that you made this wager. On the bright side, you do still have a 50/50 chance to win it, and you get to root for your own team in the process. Either way, you'll still have Mermaid, so it's all good!
bet the D Rays vs red sox . probably Tampa will win 2 out of 3 this series. make your money back there.
then hope the red sox can hold on after that. sounds like we both bet on Tampa last night, I plan to again next two nights. +165 or whatever is too high.
