I had Hamilton to win the HR Title at 22-1 and 15-1 (bet them in May before he tore it up). Had Granderson at 20-1 (ran up to the window that day he hit 3 in one day).
I had no clue they would take the futures off the board so early in the season.
Lesson learned!
So let's see, Hamilton had a 9 homer lead at one point. Missed some games here and there, as expected. Takes two months off to fuck around--hits like 4 homers each in June and July, then down the stretch when they need him the most, he misses five games with dried up corneas from drinking too much caffeine??? All this in a contract year.
Let's see, then Granderson gets pinch hit for during a monster inning about ten minutes ago. He had a chance to tie Cabrera in his last regular season AB. Oh by the way, I had Stanton at 25-1, who missed 40 games but still wound up hitting a staggering 37 homers. If that kid could have just stayed on the damn field for 145 games or so, may have had it. Too bad the books didn't give me a chance to hedge after the AS Break. The Stanton bet would have paid $16K, the Hamilton bet would have paid $10K and Granderson $8K.
I've lost a big parlay on a hail Mary pass right before half time (Bears vs KC last season), but this feels much worse. Like I said, lesson learned. The hard way, as usual.
