Screwing The Pooch

Another human error, but this one didn't work out too well for me.  I bet on The Twins for Wednesdays games, and somehow I managed to place my scalp bet on the Cardinals for Thursday's game.  (The Twins are playing the A's this week.)  Wrong team, wrong league, wrong day! 

I didn't see it until after the Twins game on Wednesday.  Then I realized I had an uncovered bet on The Cardinals, so I had to place one, and the best  could do is -12.  Ugh!

The only thing I can figure is that I typo'd the wrong rotation line when I was placing my bet at Pinney, and didn't review the bet before entering my password to confirm.  Speed kills in this game.  Grrr!

Oh well, I had a great weekend last week, so I am still net positive for the month even thought I just ate $500 when The Twins lost.  I also caught a break when the otherwise poor UCF kicker makes a field goal to end the game against Marshall.  That busted me out clean in one bet on a Bodog reload.

I have to leave for Germany on Sunday, so I won't get to enjoy the whole NFL day.  Hoping to get some bets in that morning before I leave.
