Black Sunday
Probably an over reaction - calling it "Black Sunday" - but damn! Things were going great on Saturday. I went 8 for 11 with getting my money flowing in the proper dirtection. I was planning my next withdrawal from Pinnacle and re-allocation of BR among sportsbooks when I went 1 for 8 on Sunday. One for eight! Thank God for the O/U on the Carolina/TB game!
I lost 3 of those bets on the New England/Denver game. The New England Moneyline was a hurter - since they were going off at -270/+265. I also lost both halves O/Us. The second half I had at evens until I made the first bet, then the Pinnacle line moved to -6 on me before I could get the money in. Grrrrr! Double Grrrrr! I suppose its a small price to pay for dodging the middling I could have taken on the first half. I took Over 20 and under 19.5. When I read that line I somehow had it backwards, and was thinking I could have won both at 20. I realized later that it was the other way around, and I lose the U and push the O at 20. Thought I was past stupid noobishness, but I guess not. No harm, though, as the half ended at 10 - 0.
I had Detroit on a moneyline to win, so that also hurt. Gotta hate losing those "bet $1750 to win $500" bets when you are trying to bust out at Legendz. That book may be heading for a burning. My plan to use the free half point is not going well. After 3 weeks, I haven't been able to use it for an arb yet.
As the dust settles, it looks like I have 3 books with greater balances than my home book. Not a great sign for earn rate. Hopefully I can find some action this week between those books. That would be nice. I like a little order and consolidation of my bankroll. I'll be sorting this out this evening.
