My baseball season has been reduced to playing 2 team parlays getting 2.5 runs each .

I've had so many leads blown I have lost count..

So my job now is too find 2 teams that can hopefully hang within 2 runs..

Anybody else even consider betting those ?

What a drag....

its been a miserable season...for me,
it seems whatever streak I follow it ends there...I bet on Liriano a couple weeks ago , he's won every start by 2 runs or more...I bet on him and its his only loss, he picked right back up after that game...Its just been that way for me all season.

No too chalky and too little line competition. Parlaying it doesn't make it better. +1.5 isn't chalky enough ?

FOr every game that a bullpen losses for you, you also win other ones that were "expected" when the opposing teams bullpen blows it.

I only say this because there is a handicapper who always bitches about his bullpen losses, but never says a thing when the other teams bullpen blows up. It is sort of like he EXPECTED that team's bullpen to blow up

if it was one of those things that was a little more evened up , i wouldnt bitch .

but for everyone of my teams comeback wins , their has been 7 or 8 blown saves . the ratio is sickening.

bad luck i guess...

+ 2.5 would have been a winner...

believe me , i know its a pathetic way to handicap and bet..

5 inning bets have been a thought.. tried a few.

with my luck , the team i back will be down 1-0 after 5 . go up 4-1 after 6 and then lose 5-4 ...

some people are just unlucky .. i guess i'm one of them .
