    Squeaky bum time. First game hit. No score at half from Atalanta-Monza. I need two goals.

    Just dropped a $50 free bet on U1.5 goals, Oregon to big B1G and Lions to win the NFC North. Pays +516

    That was too damn close.

    $1876. Up 29 percent as I took the risky Atalanta pick.

    Peter, I’m going to press my luck!

    Tonight: NO Freeman home run -800 & Texans-Jets under 57.5 -800. Parlay is -401. That’ll get me to $2346 with two days left.

    Let’s go.

    Amazing. I was in the process of reading the above post when Judge went up against the fence to catch Freeman's drive. He missed a HR by about 3 feet.

    I did not parlay the Freeman with the Texans/Jets. But I did spread out the Freeman NO HR between -750 and -900 depending on the book and what I could get down.

    $2107 is now the bankroll.

    I’m $1500 from spring tuition.

    I just need three more -500 plays. Just three. But they have to be consecutive to allow the 20% bankroll growth for each one. Just need one play a day through Saturday.

    However, unlike Rounders, I don’t need to pay Grandma back by midnight tomorrow. I have until Jan 15. No need to rush. Just find me three good -500 plays.

    Thanks!

    I thought about Tennessee on this spot. Stoops is too good of a coach for me to fade in this spot and Rocky Top is always at risk of the banana peel.

    College basketball starts next week. If you can hold your fire until then, I'm sure there will be some good early-season blowouts that aren't too heavy on the ML.

    Hit two great bets yesterday — Man United named a former player as an interim manager and the last time they did that, they scored 5 goals in their first game. So I bet at +550 that they would score at least 5 and it hit early in the second half.

    Then, we bet Knicks, Nets, Man United and the Yankees all to win yesterday at +2176. United wins early and it looks like the Yankees are a sure thing up 5-0. Debate hedging at least one of the hoops games and eventually both teams win, but the Yankees are tied 5-5. After the inning where they go up 6-5, we bet the Dodgers to win and lock in a +1436 payday. Good times.

    I was thinking that as well. Some SWAC teams parlayed against low-level Power 4.

    Looks like you've got at least a dozen of those games next week. Alcorn State (Utah and Utah State) and Bethune-Cookman (Texas Tech and Nebraska) both have a couple of long road trips that might qualify.
