    need to change the lyrics of that jerry reed song to, "when you're lucky as hell, you're lucky as hell"

    Pacers played like dogs last night. clearly the better team through 4 games, and they came home to put an inferior Bucks team away that had just lost their second best player. right on cue, Milwaukee scored the first 13 points of the game and led 30-13 after the 1st. Indy fought back to send it to overtime, only to find themselves down 118-111 with 40 seconds left. how they won 119-118 i'm still trying to figure out. sing it jerry...........when you're lucky as hell, you're lucky as hell

    Exactly what inspired me to post that song.

    Hope ya keep that "lucky as hell" going. 👍

    BTW - I also played the Celtics, ML, short odds, but I'll take it. 😎

    i like the Tigers ARL +3.5 a tiny bit in the 2:00 game.

    are Luka, LeBrick and the rest of the Lake Show really going to bow out in 5 at home against the Wolves?

    Byron Nelson plays all top 20 Woodland,Smalley,Jaeger. Need Jaeger in a 3 parley. Got the first 2 parts with Celtics and Dodgers money line wins. Pays +$24 for $5.

    Here's some action for you, Pietro Parolin has emerged as the early favorite to be elected next Pope at odds of 11/4 with BoyleSports as speculation begins to swirl around the future of the papacy!

    Are there any odds about it being a woman? Now that one I'd bet it all against. 😂

    BTW, and I could be wrong, but I think that type of bet is not legal at US based wagering sites. Certainly political betting is illegal, and this type of bet probably somehow falls into that category. There is one exception that I'm aware of, it's a New Zealand based site, and they do allow some restricted bets of this type, with restricted wagering amounts.

    Kinda funny that perhaps the largest political, and "events" type betting site in the world, is headquartered right in New York. Yet US citizens are not allowed to use it.

    My KD plays. 1 over 9,17 exactas. $2 win on Sandman,Citizen Bull,Burnham Square. Good luck to all. Hope for a fast track. You have 4-5 speedsters and 4 closers who come from far back. It really is a crap shoot to nail the winner.

    Well, I'm asking. Why the yell did you buy that point? 😉

    Final score of 115-107 and you had the winning dog, your vision was close, and the main thing - profitable. 👍

    Well my KD plays were a wash caused in part by the rainy weather and sloppy track. When I saw the track condition I knew I had no chance. I had singled out 2 deep closers and they do not usually perform in the slop. No grip. Citizen Bull did as expected, shot to the front. He had to as there were other speed demons to contend with. Fast fractions did him in. I also was doomed from the start as my 3 post position numbers 1,9,17 have a poor history of performance. The 1 post had not won in 39 years,9 was only a winner a few times, and the 17 post has never won. But I stuck with my original picks so as not to change my mind then have them win after all fear.
    On to the Preakness and Belmont Stakes.

    If you check the chart, you'll find that all three of your picks experienced trouble during the race.

    Wouldn't be any surprise if there are a number of form reversals in the Preakness.

    i'm out at the Insperity golf tournament and somehow managed to get fresh ink from Tom Watson on a Masters flag. outside of Tiger Woods he may be the most difficult get in golf, and especially when it comes to anything Masters. still on cloud 9.

    also snagged Nicklaus, Player, Trevino, Crenshaw, Faldo, Langer et al.

    got the formerly incarcerated Angel Cabrera, too

    might toss up pictures across the street next week

    -4283.56

    Nice sig. I remember Watson as a classy guy, good for the game. But from your comment, I guess he just normally doesn't like to sign.

    Little tip for ya about obtaining autographs. I'm not into autograph collecting, only have a few. Most i simply acquired by buying large lots of cards, with the intention to break it into smaller lots or individual cards, and flip. The autographs were also included in the lot. But a good friend of mine, has a magnificent autograph collection, sports and non-sports, and I've seen him in action trying to get a tough sig.

    One day we're at a Phillies game, a very famous movie star, household name, was sitting close to us in the stands. My buddy basically says to me, "I've got to get his autograph." I told him basically, "Are you kidding, that guy doesn't sign for anybody." The guy was notorious for being a bit aloof with the public and certainly not signing.

    So anyway it was right after the 7th inning, my buddy had gotten a pen and paper, and he walks over to ask for a sig. I'm within hearing distance of them, and I'm getting ready to have a good laugh and bust his chops about not getting the autograph. My buddy says to him oh so politely, "Mr _ could I please have your autograph?" It immediately struck me as funny, my buddy addressing him that way because everyone called this guy by his first name. Well amazingly, my buddy got the sig.

    When my buddy got back to the seat, I asked him, "How the yell did you do that?" Especially because at least ten times during the game, others had tried to get his sig, and a gentleman sitting next to him quickly brushed them away. My buddy said the secret is addressing them as "Mister" of course along with their last name, a sign of respect or whatever. My friend says it works every time.
