Well, I sold myself on the Rays and I bet way too much on them, including them in parlays with other plays. When they lost I had to increase my bets on WSox and Arizona just to break even.
If I had picked another team in BG's list - say, Arizona, I'd be up $900 (using $700 in action) instead of breaking even and losing my fingernails in the process.
When the score was 2=2 in the 9th and the closer for arizona who was nor supposed to be available came in for his third start in 3 days and shut the Padres down I guess it became a good bet.
