    So I haven’t continued with my ladder yet after hitting OSU last week. Put my winnings into BetMGM and got a 50% bonus match and have now played it up to about 725.

    Thinking of playing some NBA double doubles tonight at plus money for 20-25 each. But haven’t been able to bring myself to put the next big bet on anything yet.

    On the brink of 750 thanks to a Jalen Johnson double-double. Would be over 800 if Drummond could hit a foul shot.

    I know people shit on Missouri on this board, but I like the place. I could go to games in St. Louis and K.C., fish in Branson. Football games come on earlier.

    Big Cedar Lodge is on my golf wish list. Might need to hit a 10-teamer to afford it, but everything I've seen and heard looks amazing.

    The vote was 50.1 for, 49.9 against.

    There will be legal challenges, so don't expect to place bets here before next year at least.

    Chickened out on my ladder challenge. Cashed out at 500, which was a nice profit.

    Sad thing is I was going to make the Cardinals by $400 bet!

    But I restarted by depositing 100 on a different site. Hit on Long Island in the afternoon. Cashed out the 100 and put the winnings on St. Peter's plus the points in the evening at even money. Now I have 200 on the dot and am prepared to go for it tonight.

    Jalen Duran for a double double at +180, anyone?

    Got a little over my skis this week. I had some time to kill so I went ahead and put in my football bets early, and also wound up laying out more money ($100 vs. $50-$60) than I normally do. Thankfully, the college basketball four-teamer I had tonight got home by the skin of its teeth — Auburn by a half-point with a big number after struggling all night against Kent State, Arkansas and Tennessee both with some nice finishing kicks in the last 10 minutes — to make back most of my nut in one shot.
    Now the fun begins. Between now and Monday I think I have some sort of action on a football game in every TV window.
    Giddy up!

    When do stat corrections come out, and can they change the results of same-game parlays?
    Took the Eagles -3.5 and Jalen Hurts over 221.5 passing yards. Hurts finished with 221 yards. There's got to be another yard that they'll find somewhere, right? Right?

    To make it worse, there was a play in the fourth quarter where the Eagles receiver fumbled at the end of a long catch and run. The ball got knocked out from behind while he was being tackled and falling forward, so if he just gets to the ground he probably gets the extra yard I needed. Ugh.
