-73.12

Yankees -282

28,200/10,000


Trying the Yankees again at home vs Devil Rays.
Mussina vs Shields

I lose this bet and I'm down $35,512 in baseball in a mere 3 days and if it hits I'm up $2,688

Do or die

Done playing games as I'm highly pissed from last nights Johnson debacle and chasing this like I know I shouldn't, but it is what it is. Good luck and root me in.

Good luck man. I got burned by the Yanks hard at -400, 2 months ago, so I know how you feel. Hope you cash today.

Not a good idea to ever do this, but it is too late for that and it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

I hope you win and in a large fashion!

Good luck and I'm nervous just thinking about it.

We all gotta admire a guy with big balls (I know that doesn't sound right). Yankees gotta be embarassed and they have a huge pitching advantage. Yankees will take D'Rays behind the woodsheed and beat the crap out of them.

Guys...I actually like The Man and all, and I think the Yankees will win today, BUT I MUST SAY SOMETHING TO SOME OF THESE STATEMENTS!!

I don't even think The Man is advocating this behavior, just by the title of his thread.

YOU CANNOT STAY IN THIS GAME IF YOU DO THIS. YOU WILL FAIL.

I SWEAR TO YOU, BIG GAMBLING BALLS WILL KILL 99 out of 100 people!

In sports wagering, small balls and steady as she goes has a far greater chance of winning the race and even then, it's touch and go....

All that being said, I HOPE and pray that The Man nails this one today.

Here is the problem with that, too, though: it gives huge positive re-inforcement for behavior that you hope to never do again.

Still: GO YANKEES!!!!

Tulsa....I agree with you 100%. that being said i think this play is within his bankroll aloted for baseball and more than likely it's house money anyway. i would not entertain this type of play for myself, but the_man's gotta do what the_man's gotta do.

$35 Grand :missingte I didnt know there was that much in a Monopoly Set, you must have the Delux model. The only thing you put on in big numbers is weight. :drink:

teazeman, I understand what you are saying. However, the money amount is really a separate issue.

If you are going down the right road to earn a dollar in this then you are going down the right road to earn $10,000.

If you are going down the wrong road to earn a dollar in this business then you are going down the wrong road whether the wager is for $10 or $100,000.

However, that being said: GO YANKEES!

I will bring no more negative to this thread today!

THIS thread should be for CELEBRATING A CRAZY 15 run WIN for the DAMN YANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only The Man knows for sure if he can afford to lose this type of $. Reminds me of an interesting reality that 99% of the gamblers, as soon as they lose the first dollar, spend the rest of their lives trying to make it back, or are smart enough to quit trying early.

I hope you cash, but why are you going temporarily insane on us like trytrytry did? In my opinion, it's not worth it, even if you win. If you have 28,000 to bet, then why is being down 7 grand so bad? Being down 7 grand and being down 35 grand is a huge difference. Anything can happen in baseball.....sometimes a team pounds a pitcher, but balls land foul by inches or they are hit right at people. We've all been there, and have chased. But before you type in your password, you have to ask yourself, "how will I feel if this bet loses?" If you are rich, and this is just fun for you, then ignore me. If this is real money to you, then my advice is to reconsider. Good luck either way, and go Yankees.

wow tulsa . almost got to hand it to yea. you almost know what your saying.
yanks may win today but way to risky to laying huge rolls.
i'll stick to picking away like you said. at least that way i will never have to borrow ,rob ,cheat ,lie or hawk my stuff to pay debts.

IN CLOSING GOOD LUCK

Good luck to you. Yanks are up right now and hopefully they'll get more. I wish I had 35K in my bank account let alone bet that much on one game.
