It was as if "The Cooler" and "Leaving Las Vegas" colided. After losing 10 straight hands at blackjack I finally caught a break and the dealer proceeds to clap and make a mock celebration of this "unlikely occurence". Then he asked if I wanted smaller denomination chips so I could prolong the inevitable for just a little longer. What a jackass. My luck with the bases did not help me any either. Its a great feeling when I walked into the sports book and the whole place is not only against me....but winning. One thing for John Q. Public to have his day in the sun but its another thing when its coming at my expense. The good news is this was a retracement, not the end. Operation overdrive here I come. For the afternoon play I am going Chicago Cubs-115 over the Detroit Tigers.
*The over/under in the Mets game is 6.5. That absolutely stinks. Santana has been hurt and Carlenter missed a lot of games earlier in the year. That being said, the line is Begging you to take the over...Im going under because it looks too screwy.
