Good Afternoon folks,


When I woke up this morning, I had absolutely no thoughts of circling the strip to find the books that would allow me to place my largest bet of my life.  I had to use 3 books in total and split the money between my friend and I to stay under the maximum at Planet Hollywood.  MGM and Mandalay Bay were also utilized.

Since purchasing the wager my heart has been below 120 pm and I've been dipping skoal since 12pm.  Pulled out every cent from all available credit including bank accounts (and my wife has no clue yet).  When I saw the line my eyes bulged with dollar signs.  The Toronto Bluejays @ Ny Yanks is the game of choice.

Wish me luck because if I lose this my wife will leave me and I'll be sleeping on the over pass near the Flamingo tonight.

Toronto/Yanks over 7 flat.  For $15,000.00 in total wagers spread amongst 3 books between two people.

Pray with me tonight.

smh bro if I were you I would hedge that bet because im prety certain that game goes under...total is too fishy and it sucks the average person into that over...over 7 for blue jays and yankees gm I have a rather large bet on the under but GL bro seems like you need the win more then I do but its not a good bet

You should have checked the weather report before placing that wager. It's supposed to be cold and cloudy tonight in NY. Those are prime conditions for the under. The ball does not carry well in those conditions. 

Good luck but there's a reason why the books set that total so low at 7 with gas can Sabathia on the mound.

Damn, you're crazy...Why risk everything? Life is about lessons. I sincerely hope you're not sleeping under the bridge tonight...but knowing how the universe works, this game will probably go under.

Also vegas has a computer that keeps track of how much money is on the games. If the $15k you bet exceeds the amount, of other bettors, or if more money is on the side of the Over, then this game will go under most likely.

I know everytime I bet my entire bankroll, I lost 80% of the time. Yeah I still haven't learned my lesson either.

Best of Luck

I hear you.  I really do but gambling is as much about spot plays then it is record or %'s.  I just hope I'm on the right side of this.

Well I have the worst luck ever in sports betting, so I'll bet on the Under tonight, just to help you win this. But please don't bet your entire bankroll again after this! I did the same thing and I lost everytime. It doesn't really matter who you bet on. Universe always finds a way to screw you.

I also looked and according to covers consensus, most are playing the Over. Most of the experts are also playing the Over as well, but some of them have records like 13-2 which scares me, that means they are due to lose. And the total was at 7.5 at one casino and 7 at the others. Could be a push here at 7...which will at least get your money back.

hey buddy good luck i'll be pulling for you.  i hope you know how good Norris is pitching for toronto.  he has been one of the best minor league pitching prospects and with no Brett Gardner in the lineup and terrible weather i hope you can find a way to get it done.  just hope you know who you're going against b/c outside of that you're hoping that the bullpens self combust.  but i guess 7 is doable with those offenses on the field in Yankee stadium.
