I’m stretching myself too thin in areas that are more important, so I’m going to take a hiatus from betting until football starts.

Hopefully I’ll be able to better manage my time then.

So until next month… good luck!

At least the Athletics were able to keep from going over 3.5.

Today I can at least take some solace in knowing that I haven’t made any obviously bad bets. I’ve bet four team total prices:

Hopefully someone out there is able to get the same price as I did. I wouldn’t have any issues with betting a smaller amount at under 5.5 -115.

The other bet I made involves Randy Johnson. (I hope warning signs are flashing off in your head as they should always be.) Thankfully he will not be batting in this game tonight. I wouldn’t bet anything worse than over 4 +100.
