    He should have cashed out at 100K.

    The betslip sales sites had it valued at $170K and $200K, but if nobody offered that amount, I don't see how they can say that. 10 or 12% bet for OKC to win.

    [Edit] totally screwed up those percentages. 5% and 4%.

    Well, on FanDuel, if you bet 170K on OKC to win it all, you win $1.275 mil.

    Hit on a Man United and Maryland lax parlay today at +2350. Erased a rough week of NBA and then some.

    Of course I took a NRFI in the Nats-Braves game and the Nats scored four on Charlie Morton in the first.

    Did put a taste on Donovan Solano to hit a home run in the Padres-Marlins game, at +1083 odds with a boost. So that was a nice little score.

    Ugh. There's no replacing the old wiseguys in the digital age.

    My friends and I still talk about "Malinsky Specials" (for the Vegas handicapper who died a few years ago on a hike), when a team lays an egg at home in the first game after a long road trip.

    I had sworn off gambling until football season kicked off again, but damn if Draft Kings didn't pull me back in last night.

    Full deposit match up to $25. Then there was a promotion where if you bet $10 on any player pre-game to hit a home run, you get a bonus bet of 0.50 for every home run hit in MLB yesterday.

    So I put $25 back in and I took Jorge Soler, because he was 12-for-19 with three dingers against Atlanta's starter lifetime. Got it at +370, and Soler homered in the fifth. Cash.

    So for that $25, I netted $37 on the homer, got a $25 free bet, and another $21 free bet because there were 42 homers hit yesterday across baseball.

    Going to enjoy this now because I'm sure I'll lose it all betting on Euro this weekend, lol.
