Friday was another day of chores/errands and signing up proxy clients for the football contests in town (in case you missed my VSiN story comparing all the high-end Vegas-based contests this year, plus DraftKings’ offerings in other states, check out my story and chart HERE). https://www.vsin.com/comparing-rules-and-entry-fees-for-football-betting-contests/
I know I’ve mentioned how I’m trying to get my “honey do” list before the football regular season begins, but it seems like the list gets bigger every day.
Anyway, the fun part of the day came with 14 MLB games and 5 NFL preseason games, but unfortunately that was equally frustrating as I had a losing night by going 1-2-1 with my MLB 1st inning wagers. I lost by Best Bet on the Red Sox 1st 5 + 105 vs. the Yankees as they trailed 2-1 through 5 innings (and added insult to injury by rallying to beat the Yankees 3-2 in 10 innings). I did win my 2nd play on the Marlins 1st 5 + 105 as they led the Braves 2-1. I also lost with the Brewers as they trailed the Cardinals 2-0, but it looked like I was going to win with the Diamondbacks 1st 5 + 105 and show a slight overall profit as they led 3-0 after the top of the 4th inning, but they let the Rockies rally to tie the game 3-3 after the 5th for a losing day.
I actually felt worse with my non-plays in the NFL preseason games as dogs went 4-1 ATS but I didn’t like any of them on Friday’s card. In addition, you’ll remember I liked the Over in the Hall of Fame Game last week because I felt the total was adjusted too low. This week, I was hoping to go with more Unders like I usually do in preseason games but felt the totals were too low – so, why didn’t I bet more Overs? They went 5-0 on Friday night with me not holding a ticket. That felt like a missed opportunity.
