2 -1 at The Greek
My bonus and an apologetic e-mail from The Greek were waiting for me when I got home yesterday, so all is forgiven. I found two 4 point lines and jumped on them. Then I commenced to work on the website for a few hours. A web geek would probably be faster, but as I'm not one, it took me a few hours to get done what I did!
My son, Dawg, has become a diehard Pittsburgh fan. The lovely Mrs Bull is from Pittsburgh, and although Dawg was not born there, he has adopted it as his hometown. He cannot get enough Steelers and Pirates stuff of late. We figured out how to get the Pirates game on our digital cable setup last night. I had money on that game, and I had Pittsburgh at Pinnacle, so I was rooting for the Pirates, too. When I found a good stopping point on my web work, I joined Dawg at the TV. It was the eighth inning and it was tied, 1 - 1.
The Pirates pitcher worked himself out of a hole, thanks to an awesome play at the plate on a ball hit deep to right field. Then the Pirates took advantage of the Rockies awful relief staff in the bottom of the inning to go up 3 - 1, and that's where it ended. We ate Nutty Buddies and our team won, so Dawg and I were happy.
I also had the U in the O/U for the Orioles game, and that went into Pinney as well. The last game of the night had a few minutes before start time, and when I checked the line again it was at 3 points difference, so I jumped on it. Unfortunately, after I got my bet in at The Greek, the Pinnacle line moved 4 points against me, but I had to take it to cover, anyways. I went to bed and got up this morning to find that had gone toward The Greek. I am sitting on $825 left to bust at The Greek. The wagering limit there is high, so I can get it all in on my next bet. The lines were posted this morning, but there was nothing even close, so I am waiting. If I am not mistaken, I think that The Greek has 20 cent Moneylines on MLB in the morning, but they switch to dime lines later in the day. I swear I was looking at dime lines yesterday evening, but they were all 20 cents this morning. I have a mental note to check that this evening.
I like the software interface for The Greek. It's design makes it harder to screw up inputting a bet - and that's good for me! So far, so good. I expect to use this book again.
