Using My Heart More Than My Head
Man, it's easy to fall behind with a blog. Can't believe I haven't posted in a week!
Mrs. Bull is originally from Pittsburgh, and her love for her team is contagious, so we cheer hard for the Steelers at my house.
BetWWTS was offering a fine freeroll on the Steelers for Monday night. New accounts only were eligible, so I was not. Apparently they consider me as having an account since I am an affiliate, even though I haven't deposited or bet there before. Bummer, I miss out on a good deal. The Steelers had zero offense last night, so I hope anyone who played it hedged it.
I found three NFL arbs on SIA vs Pinnacle on Sunday. Those lines were just jumping off the page at me. I was lucky enough to get all my money in at SIA, and went three for three and busted my SIA account. I did a reload there for Monday night, hoping for another unadvertised stealth bonus, but I didn't get one. I got a straight even bet on the Steelers at -3 vs Pinnacle, so I took it. I really didn't expect the Jaguars defense to be so dominating, so I was very happy with that bet. But, now I have over a grand in SIA again. Hopefully the NFL lines there will be as good on Sunday as they were last Sunday.
I was so confident in the Steelers winning that I didn't use my free half-point option at Legendz. My original plan had been to use that account as a home account for Steelers games. They weren't advertising any bonus, but they were advertising a free half-point on any NFL team all season. I figured I could use them all season with my free half point to find arbs vs other books where I had a bonus, and I would bust into Legendz. As it turns out, I have received two bonuses there so far, and with a pending bonus, I want to bust that book. So, I didn't take the half point on the Steelers last night at Legendz, because I didn't want to win into that book. Instead I put it on a decent -1 on the Baltimore/Tampa Bay MLB game, but the Orioles won and covered the runline, so now I have a big balance in Legendz also. Not huge, but bigger than I wanted. Had I taken the half point on the Steelers I would have busted it out. Oh well, live and learn. I should just stick with the game plan, and not let my personal opinions and favorite teams occlude my scalping process.
Both Legendz and SIA MLB lines are fairly square, so I may not get that money into play again until next weekend. I have some reserve cash that I may use for a reload elsewhere. Maybe Bodog is ready for me again!
I had mentioned recently pooling my bankroll and going after one of the big bonuses, but instead I withdrew some funds for personal use. Time to do some re-building before I tromp off to big bonus land.
