    Classic 5d today..closing 2 team parlay today. Used NASCAR combo listed with drivers 4/11/42/18 at +155. All four drivers around odds of 4 or 5 to 1 single well 30 mins later they cancel saying bad line. I did get paid on 1st leg which was 5/1. When I inquired I was told bad line listed and to read rules..aside from not using them what are my options. Later they reposted at -155, but are they that incompetent that I need to call and confirm line before pretty much every wager.

    There's not to much you can do. But tell me did you know. I don't follow NASCAR but it sounds like a mistake because it's the same line only instead of + it's a - Just my opinion but with far away places if you know it's a mistake you just open the door to get free rolled. I'm not saying you knew and even if that's the case all books have that disclaimer in there rules. In case of a bad line bla bla bla.

    Yes I thought it was off, but not that much maybe 30 or 40 cents ..when I think bad lines I think listing someone at 200/1 when its supposed to be 20/1. I took a driver that opened at 110/1 and by Friday was 25/1...was that a bad line or did line just move off how the guy looked in practice or liability? Crazy part is it ended up working out to my benefit as none of the four in the "bad line" won.

    The Minnesota Twins inspired by KCash's bullpen by committee has gone the copycat route. What else is new in pro sports? Tonight Molitor starts recovered TMay and follows up with KStewart.

    At least May has some history as an actual starter. Back in 2015 he did start 16 games for the Twins.

    True BB, but the guy is on limited pitch count after having TJohn surgery. I shudda said recovering not recovered.

    Bookmakers in the states and abroad no longer scoff at Ivy League Qbs. Atleast today anyway. Harvard alum Fitzpatrick saved their azz by beating the Saints and KO'ing many many teasers.

    Al Gore and compatriots are on target with the global warming alert. It's changing some of the MLB ballpark tendencies. Totals players heed.

    JVerlander has resurrected his career. At 35 he is the most dominating pitcher in the game. It's gotta be that Upton stuff:what:

    I’ve never seen anything like the crowd response @Tour Championship. It was comparable to a walk-off in a World Series game. Surprised at all the love Tiger commands. Maybe now Mcllroy will revise his assessment on Woods’ game.
    Shout out to Brit Ian Poulter......FU

    Guy may be a tool but he definitely has some analytical skills. Wonder how this will work out for the Mavs. Interesting move by Cuban.

    Jake was definitely a crook among other things but he also had access to some damn good plays. It was great while it lasted.

    Was Craig Kimbrel 'doctoring' up the baseball last night? Check out the pine tar on his pitching hand.

    Don't bet NFL sides, but watch for prop plays. IMO the following qbs are not the answer:

    Baker Mayfield too short to beat prepared NFL defenses. Yeah, I know but Brees(arm) RWilson(agility).

    DeShaun Watson not the same guy following injury/injuries. Forget about converting him to a pocket-passer. Someone mentioned an RG3 comparison.

    Dallas coach JGarrett is your proverbial 'yes man'. This explains his questionable longevity as head coach.

    Yes he ran well for a while until he got some people to pay a hefty fee for a half time service and then totally shit the bed and was gone.
    I don’t doubt he may have had some solid information. But there’s always hook at the end of a line when fishing if you intend to catch something anything. What RAS did was just business and the right thing to do. If you can’t see that I don’t have anything else to say.

    I don't get it. Canuck Eric Gagne volunteers his help to the Red Sox Kimbrel to try to defeat a team(LAD) that made him financially secure for life. MYOFB!! If I'm a Dodger affiliate it wouldn't sit right with me.

    So far the "Little Japanese General" is being outmanaged by a rookie skipper.
    Glaring situation: Reminder he's committed to platooning. Top 5th down 1run 1st and 2nd no outs. He allows Freese(RH) to hit against Barnes(RH) with lefties Muncy, Bellinger, Pederson on the bench. Next time he'll bunt with Freese.:no:

    edit: if Freese hits a 3run HR it's still a bad % play.

    Cora is light years ahead of Roberts as a Manager. Finally someone has just mentioned taking Pedro Baez out instead of letting him pitch to Devers.
    I may have miss something because I left the room after the 2nd out for a minute came back and seeing a new pitcher. I don't think I miss anything I think that's Roberts MO make changes to make changes.
