The Reds Finally Help Me

As a boy I was a diehard Reds fan.  I grew up in Ohio during the time of The Big Red Machine, and I can still list all the starters by position for the mid-seventies team.

That has absolutely nothing to do with sports betting and bonus chasing, though, and I have bet for AND against the Reds many times this season based on market conditions.  And every time I have, the Reds have done exactly the opposite of what I want, and send my money humping off in a direction I'd prefer it not go.  Grrrrrr!

Until last night.  The Reds finally won when they were supposed to , and my money transferred nicely from Island to Pinnacle as desired.  I still have some money left in Island - about $620 since the Cubs' batters awakened for the first time this season last Sunday against the heavily favored brewers.

That leads me to some more thinking, though.  My betting limit at Island is $500.  What's the best way to bust out $620 under those conditions?  It has to be at least two bets,  Should they be $310 each, or $500 and $120?  I suppose I will have to let the lines dictate.  If I get something delicious, I should max out the bet, if not, I should probably hedge and split the bets evenly.  This requires more thought, and possibly a forum post!

Shoeshine notified me that Nine.com has changed their bonus to be play credits and not a cash bonus.  If anyone else finds any changes or outright errors on my website, please let me know ASAP.  Thanks!
