Thank You Mr. Sanchez
SIA sent me an e-mail that they had redesigned their site, and I was checking it out. As long as I had it open, I checked the MLB lines against Pinney - which is usually a waste of time. Lo and bohold! There were two dead even lines vs. Pinney where I got to take the dog both times. The Marlins Moneyline and the ChiSox runline. I max bet ($550) both. There was also a -1 on the Indians and I bet $220 on that.
A short time later I was updating my account balances on my spreadsheet. My bookkeeping has been poor lately, and I wanted to try to tighten it up. I found $306 at Bodog I didn't know was there. Undoubtedly the result of a "Two-Drink Minimum" posting night. Checked the MLB lines and found a 2 point arb on the Marlins vs Pinney, so I took that one, too.
Anibal Sanchez to the rescue. He pitches a no-hit shut out against the Diamondbacks. The ChiSox kill the Red Sox, and I get a flood of money coming into Pinnacle. Yip Yip Yippee! Cleveland let me down, but c'est la vie. At least I proved I could lose at SIA, where I had been 8-0 (or rather 0-8) for my picks there. I am glad I can lose there, as my Steelers hedge bet is there, and I really want the Steelers to win that game.
I tried to log into my BetUSA account last night to check the lines. I can get into the account, but then I get an error that tells me I don't have permission to see the lines. I contacted CS via e-mail and they replied that I need to change the settings on my IE 6 browser. Not terribly helpful since I was using FireFox.
I am not sure how to classify the Bodog bustout money. Seems unfair to call it sports betting winnings, since I am not sure where it came from or how much was deposited. I guess I'll have to check Neteller to see when I deposited it and then count the bonus on that deposit at sports betting. Plus the $6 of Arb money I won. Then I need to start keeping better records.\
