    What?!? Is that what it was?

    I woke up, looked up my KBO scores, saw it was 6-4 and went back to sleep. Yee-haw Conan!

    I'm starting to look at KBL scores the first thing I do in the morning to see if this run is continuing. That's amazing. You get kicked off William Hill yet?

    KBO is off on Mondays so it’s Doosan against the NC Twins (they’re the team with the mascot that looks like a penis) on Tuesday morning.

    Bet these Doosan totals early as they always so up.

    Even better.

    NASCAR today. Gf is off from the hospital today. Neither of us has the kids. Laz-E-Boy still functions.

    Rubbin’ is racin’.

    Especially if Keselowski, Truex or Kenseth win.

    Do one of those three have Laz-E-Boy as a sponsor?

    Stick to the KBL. Just kidding. Two top 10s.

    Won all my golf and soccer bets this weekend except the big striker from Dortmund to score twice. Not a huge KBL like haul but enough to pay for the bottle of Prisoner we are eating with our steak.

    DraftKings is offering a one-time 50 percent odds boost on Korean baseball this week. I think I know where I'll be using that ...

    Doosan total is again 9.5. Over at -120.

    Time to start shopping my books.

    Edit -- the boost is on live betting, DK is streaming the game through their app and wants you to watch and bet (smart). I'll just set my alarm to bet the over right after the first pitch.

    All my books have it -120, -120, -125.

    So, for in-game, if you bet $20 on a +120 and it hits, you’ll get paid out at +180. $36 instead of $24?

    In-game was rough on me last year, especially college football.

    I did hit some winners though that paid out nicely:

    Chiefs +400 during the Super Bowl right after the pick when it was 20-10. I had already bet the 49ers ML as an emotional hedge. So my chiefs won and I made a little bit.

    Dayton - Saint Louis A10. SLU was up late and I had them +8 during the game. However, Dayton was +850 ML at one point. Hit that and Dayton won in OT. Won both bets.
