Yesterday's action was pretty shaky. I managed to come out with a $3 profit on the huge card only because I placed 2 units on the Pachuca game instead of 1. They kicked America's ass 3-1.
Usually when I'm at home I try and watch all the games that I've got a bet on, but yesterday I decided not to. I could have, since DirectTV offers the MLB package for free for the first week of baseball. But instead I only watched the Cubs game and then chilled in the living room with my family watching old family videos the whole afternoon. It sure was better than stressing over a baseball game and shit.
So what I gathered from some old family videos is that apparently I was a huge fan of Th Rock when I was like 10, because every five seconds I would turn to the camera and say "Do you smeeeeeeell, what the Rock is cooking!??" lol I couldn't stop cracking up, when I was watching that.
As I am writing this in the library at school, my friend Mack has approached me looking to gamble. He's asked me if I want to do a $20 coin flip. Hm...sure I feel like gambling. He takes tails, I've got heads.
Coin is in the air....Heads! Ship the $20!
Now my guy Furcio wants some action. He also wants a $20 coin flip. Damn it, I could say no and walk away a $20 winner, but that's not how I roll. Flip that shit, lol.
I've got tails this time. He's got heads. Coin is in the air....tails! Boom, ship another $20.
LOL, sweet. two minutes ago I was calmly writing my blog and now I'm $40 richer. It's how we do it at Northside!
Anyway, back to the blog. Yea, so I've got a couple of baseball plays that I've placed already and a couple of more that I'll probably place later tonight.
I'm also going to go with Memphis tonight in the Championship game, even though I don't know shit about College Hoops. Seems like the public is on Kansas so let's fade. I haven't placed the bet for Memphis yet but I'll do it as soon as I get to work and hope that I get a good line.

Wake Up Little Tiger
Well the sports betting was shitty yesterday with a 1-3 day. Fortunately, I played two of the games for only half a unit and managed to win my biggest dog at +285 so my bankroll didn't suffer too much.
I did have a decent day of gambling at work last night. I started off winning a $50 prop bet from my friend. We were discussing a hand on Poker After Dark and there was a hand where it was AK v. AK and he asked me why the percentages where like 7% for one hand and I explained to him it was because one of the AK was suited. He wouldn't beleive me and after we went online to check it out, I'd won myself an easy $50.
I ended up losing half of it back in blackjack though, which sucked but oh well. A bit of controversy rounded up the night when me and my friend were accused of cheating in blackjack against this other dude who was drunk out of his mind. We beat him for $20 in that particular hand. He had 19 and I had a 17 so I hit and drew a miracle 20 to beat his 19. Immediately he starts accusing us of cheating. The funny thing is, this is the dude that tries to cheat every time we play. I don't even know why we play with him. We've caught HIM trying to pocket some cards occasionally, so for him to bring forth such accusations was just laughable. And when he was telling the other dudes that we had cheated him, none of them believed him.
This one guy Manny, who I play with a lot was like "No way man, if there's one guy here who'd never cheat in cards, it's Victor." The whole thing ended up putting me on tilt though, so I spewed off a few more dollars before the night was over. I ended up not taking the guy's $20 dollars that I won from him fair and square. I just don't intend on ever playing with him again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, so on to sports betting for today. I'm going with the Tigers again, because their bats just HAVE to wake up sometime. Hopefully it's today. Then there's a couple of underdog soccer plays that may have some value in them, so we'll see. I might add a couple of more baseball plays later tonight.

Let's Go Yankees!
Had a somewhat break even day last night going 4-3 but with only a $3 profit for the night. My late addition play of America v. River Over 2.5 was what bailed me out of a losing night. Man, that game was amazing. Definitely one of the best and most intense soccer matches I've seen in a while. The first half was somewhat slow, but the second half alone had a total of 6 goals!
It was such a weird match also, because America is essentially the worst Mexican team right now and River is the best team in the Argentinian league, yet somehow the Mexicans managed to pull away with an unexpected 4-3 victory.
Anyway I woke up super late today so I missed the chance to bet the afternoon baseball games. I'll just go with one play with the Yankees tonight. I also considered taking the Bulls +7 against the Cavs but decided to scratch it at the end.

Wednesday Night Baseball
I'm glad I stayed away from my Cubbies again today, as they didn't even manage to keep it close, losing 8-2 to the Brewers. I think I'll stay away from them until they get their lead off situation resolved. Lou is planning on going back to Soriano at the lead off spot and dropping Theriot to the 2 hole, so we'll see how that works out.
Anyway, here's my plays for tonight. Most of them baseball, but a couple of hoop plays as well.

Phillies -1.5 (+100)....................$5 to win $5.00
NY Mets -1.5 (-105)..................$5 to win $4.76

Back in Business
So I had been putting off wiring money to my offshore books because I'd been pretty busy with school and shit, but I finally had some time on my hands today. My guy Furcio and I drove to Gigio's after school to pick up our paychecks and then we went to a Money Gram place so I could wire some money to Bookmaker.com. I was also planning on using some money that's owed to me to fund my TheGreek.com account but, the guy who owes me the money wasn't at Gigio's when I went, so I'll do that later this week.
Anyway I shipped $100 to Nicaragua to some dude named Manuel Sandoval and 40 minutes later the funds were in my account. I don't know why I ever bothered with credit card deposits before.
I received a $25 bonus for it being my first deposit, but the shitty thing is that it's a 5x rollover bonus, which means I basically have to give them $500 worth of action before the bonus clears. So I won't hold my breath on that.
Alright so I had two plays for tonight. I felt pretty confident in the Celts -6.5 against the Bulls but I was regretting taking the Pistons -2.5 against Minnesota. See, I saw the Paper Chaser take the play at Pistons -7.5 and I didn't have time to figure out why it had dropped so much, so I just went with it. When I found out Detroit was resting most of it's starters, I wanted to kick myself.
Thankfully, they managed to make a heroic 4th quarter comeback winning it 94-90.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok so this is the plan for the sports betting grind. After tonight the Bankroll stands at $109.10 but I plan on shipping another $100 to TheGreek.com by the end of this week so for simplicity's sake I'll just go ahead and say the BR is $209.10. Again, each play will probably consists of a $5 bet, but with a larger roll this time around this won't be written in stone. I will give myself the liberty to up the amount wagered if I so desire. I will be making occasional $2-$5 parlays just for kicks, but what I will try not to do is go on any major tilt and chase mentality if I have a bad week or whatever.
