Good luck. Not afraid of chalk which is good. If it's the right play then it's the right play

Your biggest play is the Cardinals.  You don't fear that without Holiday and in the middle of a road trip at Miller Park where Lynn lost earlier this year will be a problem?

Congrats on another incredible night

Unfortunately I was on the Rangers ML as part of a 4 team Parlay (w/ Royals, Cardinals and Angels) that lost in part due to Beltre missing tying the game by lass than 2 inches I know you don't like getting emotional over 1 game, but that one I still stinging.

Keep your streak  afreak (whatever that means but it rhymed ) this weekend

Hey thanks man, I appreciate it.  I have to ask (and I am not being a smart a$$ by asking), but you went 3 for 4 and lost your bet, what is that telling you?  Once more, only trying to help, but self evaluation, and performance evaluation is important.  Take care Hog

jstaley,

I know where you're coming from, but Played all 4 separately on straight ML's as well, then Parlayed all 4 for at a much smaller amount just because I felt good about all of them, so ended up quite nice for the night.

 Another funny thing-I meant to Play Rangers ML, and inadvertently hit the o6.5 by mistake (the boxes were right next to one another), and was pressed for time and didn't realize until it was in, so I really got lucky and hit them all, which never happens to me

I realize the Parlay odds are remote but Play a small amount occasionally if I really feel strong about it. Unless its a 2 team where the Line is juiced so high on both, but don't feel good about the RL on either, I will then Parlay the 2 together to cut the juice.

I appreciate your concern and feedback, as I have told you previously, I really respect your advice and spin on a number of things I've read in your Threads.....and your record speaks for itself!!

Thanks

No problem brother, just pointing it out.  I handicap at a high percentage, and I make money every month of every season, but if the challenge was posed to me to have to win strictly on parlays, I think I could do it, but my margins would be much, significantly much smaller.  THAT is where I will indulge in the rare parlay, and that makes perfect mathematical, and logical sense.  Thanks brother, I appreciate your kind words.
