    I still don't believe this win. I did have some seafood for lunch. It must have been tainted. I'm getting hallucinations that Argentina won this game. I'll come out of it in a few hours and realize it didn't happen.

    I was just following the game digitally on the ESPN website. Looking forward to watching the end of game replay on Youtube. ⚽

    Also a crazy win last night in the Dodgers game. I had the Dodgers leading at home 6-3, top of the 9th. I mean the game is over, right? Well the Rockies manage to score a run, then load the bases with two outs. I still ain't worried, it's the World Series Champion Dodgers here. Well the batter hits a double, and clears the bases, Rockies take a 7-6 lead. I'm now in trouble.

    I'm watching it digitally, the score as mentioned shows 7-6, but then around a minute or two later it shows 6-6. The umps took a run off the board. A reprieve from the umps, but there are still runners at 2nd and 3rd. Fortunately the next batter made an out. The Dodgers don't score in the bottom of the ninth, so if it wasn't for the rare take-down of a run, I would have lost the bet. Dodgers wind up winning the game 8-7.

    As we all know, luck runs in streaks, and my last two wagers have been incredibly lucky. Both should have lost. Probably shouldn't press my luck, but I see a couple games I like tonight, including the Dodgers again. So I'll probably give back some of the winnings later. LOL

    penalty kicks are the greatest

    anyone drop on the Swiss? they just took out Colombia

    I’m surprised the Swiss team wasn’t a favorite over Columbia in the strength of their defense.

    Phillies ML
    Dodgers ML
    Schwarber HR with a 50% profit boost

    I think this is the first time I've ever played
    a HR prop simply because the juice is brutal.
    My guess is usually around 30% to 40%.
    However with the 50% boost, the odds I think
    are in my favor. Plus of course the Reds stadium
    is home run friendly so I'm hoping Kyle can pop one.
    Yea I know, pressing my luck, probably a bad idea.
    I expect to lose all three bets badly. Kyle striking
    out four times, maybe five. LOL

    Without looking it up I would guess Gotterup since you asked me specifically. 🤔

    Galaxy what would have happened if they had tied on the penalty kicks. Same thing again, 5 more each team?

    Hopefully the Phillies can hang on in this game. The Reds just cut their lead to 3-1. Suarez with a solo shot.

    Top of the 8th, one out, runners on 2nd and 3rd for the Phils. Could sure use one or two insurance runs here.

    For the Royals - Mets game tomorrow I don’t know what the over/under will be for total runs scored but I’m definitely going to check. 16-12 tonight and the bullpens’ are depleted. The Royals haven’t even announced who will be starting yet. Could be a lot of runs again.

    I noticed the Royals have a starter on the bereavement list, Kolek. It looks like Steven Cruz is starting and he’s normally a reliever. He’s decent but unless KC is planning on turning him into a starter he will probably pitch 2-3 innings max. Could be tough for KC to shut down the Mets. And Juan Soto is hitting really well I expect he might have a big game.
    My bets today…

    Royals/Mets over 9 runs
    Reds moneyline
    3 player parlay, they all have to get
    2+ total bases

    Galaxy hit that thing! I’ll be rooting big time for you! 🥳 I think I’m going to put a much smaller amount on them.

    Perk… I actually didn’t pick the players it was a parlay draft kings suggested. So I’m probably screwed😱 But I only put $5 on it and the odds I think were close to +1000.. players are Ben Rice, Drake Baldwin and Otto López.

    The odds of -375 sure seems like pretty good odds for a +180 favorite versus a +2700 dog.

    I realize there have been a number of close games in this tourney with heavy favs versus long shot dogs. So I'm guessing that's why the computer is offering what seems to be juicy -375 odds.

    Didn't really like anything today, wasn't gonna bet anything. But then they offered this dam 2 run token thing, so I couldn't resist.

    I'm sure it will cost me $10. May as well post what's gonna happen in a few hours and get it over with.
