He cashed out but had he rode out, dude would have won a million!

But @msgkings322 love to criticize those who bet on sports
This was a miracle of a play though. He hit 25 legs in a parlay? It’s almost impossible to hit like 12-14. He will never have a ticket like that again in his life. Did you see some of the plays? There were no fewer than 5 that were head scratchers and went his way. Miami moved the ball up and down the field on aTm but was horrid in the red zone. A muffed punt led to one of aTm’s TDs. Sparty gets up off the mat late to score points to get him that over. Etc…

Had a buddy hit 12 on like a 5 dollar bet like 20 years back.

Most I've hit is like 5 or 6

Marcus Freeman gets his first win against the always formidable Cal Bears to take the Irish to 1-2 on the season. I expect them to jump to number 1 this week.
If their loss was to bama and not OSU possible they'd move into the top 25.

My biggest win was an 8 teamer three years ago with baseball and the NFL. Made $1200 on a $5 play. Like a scratch off ticket.

Haha! You might be right. Gotta prop up that SEC. But for real, ND is a real problem right now. If you can, watch the last snap of the game. Cal should have been lining up to tie the game on an extra point. I’m worried because they look like a team that’s poorly coached. On that Hail Mary, every level of football teaches kids to knock the ball down. High point it and drive the ball into the ground. Player 1 goes for a pick. Deflects directly up into the air. Another player tries to intercept the deflection instead of driving the ball to the ground. Ball falls right into the arms of the Cal player and he was so surprised he flubbed it. The QB could get beat out by the Philadelphia CYO All Star game starting QB. The communication by the offensive line straight stinks. It’s 5 individuals playing and not 5 guys working like a unit. Blown protections left and right. Poor execution of zone blocking schemes. It’s a real mess.

Marcus may be overmatched for HC right now. He is a solid DC tho.

Gimenez and Kwan should win Gold Gloves for the Guardians. I think both probably will too. Kwan for sure.

Not the power you like out of a corner- but great obp, great baserunning, never strikes out, great defense. Very solid rookie season.

Gimenez- top 10 in WAR in the major leagues according to ESPN. Very good sophomore season.

Naylor has been a good bat.

Oscar Gonzalez has been establishing himself as a guy that should be in the lineup.

Those 4 guys- Gimenez, Kwan, Naylor and Gonzalez all look good. With Jose, and a pretty solid Rosario- the offense has done just enough. Rosario with a 163 hits- top 5 in the AL....not great power or OPS....but been solid.

Kwan, and Rosario fit very nicely into the 1 and 2 slots....good skill sets for those spots in the lineup.
wow was that night game annoying......more so had they lost. But didn't.

I get most managers do this but so irritating seeing Clement up in potential GA situations what seemed like every other inning and failing....when it could have been Giminez if not given day off (other than his PH AB). My goodness.....MLB is a day off. Half of it sitting. Most of the other half standing around.

Tito ever say what his logic was for pitching Clase in a 4 run game in Game 1? I'm not blame the manager and for a baseball manager Tito is exceptions (I say that as managing baseball highly overrated). wonder if you heard as I'm sure he had his reasons.

How many times are you going to repost this?

Damn you are obsessed.

You didn’t take the bet because you didn’t think they would win 80 either.

So the joke is on you!
I didn't think we'd win 80 but to be fair, as you know he still takes crap for saying Miami would go down early the year they made it to the Finals in the bubble.....when most thought they'd go down early (including Heat fans).

Only because he called jimmy a cancer and said heat would barely make the playoffs. Im not sure who else brought it up but i don't think i brought up the 2020 finals to him in 12-18 months

It’s hard to be patient. I’ve even said it here that ND is not the place to learn the ropes on being head coach. Logically, patience is required but actually embracing that patience as I watch bad football is another story entirely.

I knew a guy in college that hit like 12 game and he made like $12K-$15K. You still have to put up decent money on impossible odds to win that much or more money. It’s just not worth it

Even though saves can only be registered with a 3 run lead or less, many managers use the magic number of 4 runs accounting for the grand slam possibility. At a minimum, with a lead in the division, the Indians needed a split of the DH yesterday. Maybe the thinking in Game 1 is let’s go lock this one down and whatever we get out of the nightcap is bonus. Who knows what he really weighed in his decision but it worked out for the squad in the end.

The Indians just play in the right division. They’d be in 4th in the AL East, 4th in the NL East, 3rd in the AL West, 3rd in the NL West and 2nd in the NL Central. They wouldn’t be in the top 3 in the Wildcard in either the AL or the NL.
Sure helps in the ALC no doubt but if we replaced St. Louis in the NLC good shot we'd win that division. If we replaced Houston in the ALW good chance we'd win that division.

Can we play this in football and say the Browns likely would have won the NFCE in either of the last 2 seasons?

Like 10 bucks for that I think. Maybe 20. I'd have to look at the calculator
