    After losing my @$$ on a 2 team $500 parlay that had $1100 staring that was a "99%" winner according to ESPN gamecast at the top the 13th inning, I am now beginning my new run as a gambler, strictly fading the Oakland Athletics in matchups where I see value.
     
    After the A's blew leads of 4-3 with 1 out in the 9th and 7-4 to start the bottom of the 13th inning, there is no way any "sound" better could back them today.  I understand that baseball is a marathon and most good teams don't carry one day over from the next, but to choke that hard that much that often against a team that they had beaten twice, I will reload my account just to enjoy the pleasure of seeing them lose to get be back to even.
     
    Joe Saunders has struggled in his last 2 starts, and I think this meek Oakland O is the elixir he has been looking for.
     
    $666 (yes I went there) to win $600 on the LAAAAAAAAAAAAs  at ML -111.

    sounds like ur usin your heart instead of your head...esp since u didnt even mention who was pitching for oakland...as if it didnt matter...the angels have never faced anderson...that has value for the pitcher unless he is horrible...
     
     choosing a pitcher who is cold to turn it around this outing is usually not a good strategy...but again it may Saunders day to turn it around..who knows
     
    understand you are betting against a team that while losing has scored a LOT of runs its last 2 games and scored 7 in 2 of its last three
     
    and its the angels that have the worst bullpen in the majors 7.66 era not oakland..and FYI even with some blown leads oakland has the best relievers 2.88 era
     
    just careful...doesnt mean you wont win tonight...just dont think you should bet against them cause u lost money on them...

    Scoring 7 runs yesterday.... in 15 innings!  They scored 3 in the first, then 1 over the next 9 innings. Don't pretend for a second that that is an impressive O.

    As for Mr. Brett Anderson, he is a 21 year old rookie pitcher with an 0-2 record and a 5 ERA. His stats are respectable when you realize that he has faced Boston, NY (in the softball field) & Texas, who you would think would be some of the better offenses in baseball. 

    Clearly this is an emotion play, and when it cashes I will still be

    I thought you closed your account after yesterday's debacle. What gives?

    This coming from the guy who gave up on his wager on about 10 times this past Sunday. Question for you Mr. Emu, did you cash that  of a ticket with the Ms?  

    If you took the cash in your account, then I have the right to be angry in that moment in time and I can take pride in the fact that I bounce back with a solid play, not over handicapping pitchers and weather and matchups and umpires and simply fading a team that is finding ways to lose in ways that I have never seen before.
