    Ok next sweat coming back from the dead is the Pelicans, who have recovered half of the 18 point halftime deficit, and are down 99-90 after 3.

    I really deserve one of these. Come on now.

    Wow, Pelicans come back from 18 down, take the lead with 22 seconds left, and then not only give up that 1-point lead, but they make a pointless foul with less than a second remaining, so my +1 I had on 2/3 of my bet also lost.

    I'm falling on the wrong side of every single one of these down to the wire close ones. I haven't picked particularly well lately (few blowout wins, several blowout losses), but boy have I run awful on the close games in the past 4 weeks.

    Funny.

    Okay, here are two 1982 VisiCalc picks:

    MLB
    Phiadelphia (Nola) at Toronto (Kay) - Over 10 -105

    NBA
    Milwaukee vs. Miami - Over 234.5

    Wow. Amazing how bad I am running. 180 points after 3 quarters in this Miami game, just need 55 to cover, which is easy with two high scoring teams.

    Nope.

    Scoring dies and pick is going to lose.

    In the meantime, somehow this shit Toronto pitcher shut out the Phillies for 4 innings, and now various relivers are doing the same, so that over isn't going to hit.

    Very ugly run for me.

    Put 600 on Spieth Live at +450 at the Byron Nelson.

    Few reasons. He shots 6 under today, even with two bogeys and putting terribly. He is 3 back and Burns is now a made man, so the odds are I believe spot on. Burns is for sure the most likely winner, but I can’t take him at these odds. At this course people will be attacking. Burns won’t be able to just make pars and win this thing. Don’t think Spieth is thinking about next week at all. He finished with the eagle. He needs to get off to a better start than yesterday. Crowd will get behind him if he can start making a move. It’s in Texas. I am happy making this bet and letting the cards fall where they may.

    Not to mention Spieth closed at 10 or 9 to 1 originally. Given his position now, I think +450 is a good price.

    Maybe use your bad beat posts for another game. I had under in this game and it was a 19 pt game after 3 and the live line was 235.5... So basically a coin flip

    Padres -140 tomorrow and some over 7.5? insurance in case Cards right handed bats Arenado and Goldscmidt go deep against a good lefty. Ryan Weathers son of former big leaguer David is confident and will go after these guys. Padres score some runs against Kim.

    I apologize for any money lost in this one. I fired at a sucker’s pin. No excuses. I blew this one. Let’s go Larson.

    The overnight NBA line was Warriors -5.5 at one point. Almost bet Grizz at this number forgot and woke up ready to bet the dog. One of my places had -3 -105 while most were at 3.5. So here we are we bet a missile BAdGuy style on Curry and the Dubs. Padres tonight price is better than opener go get it. Sweeping the Cards gloomy windy night in SD for this time of year.

    Live over is golden right now in my opinion. The ball looking like its carrying in Petco, Cards bullpen is overworked. Lets go Pads crooked number in 1st

    In the tale of the tape this was the game of the day.

    Cards went from +115 —> -107. I think the move was overdone but that’s what makes a horse race.

    I snap blind bet your over because I respect your work here. Thank you. I am also a fan of money.

    Kim looked very good the first time thru this rag tag lineup the Padres put out there. The 3run homer is a great boost for an over 7.5 and 8.5. Not sure who's getting but it's coming for us San.

    Any other NHL Series to consider?
    Laid the Pipe this weekend in MLB, very disappointed in the Indians! Has a 1-0 series lead and then fell apart!

    In NHL I took Caps and Panthers, also Penguins. So far leading by a game in one and down a game in 1, Panthers just took a lead but still in first period so tbd.

    Will chimp into MLB series Monday and Tuesday
