TRADING ROLLERCOASTER

As you can see above I was settling in for a big loss yesterday in the Barclays. I did mange to turn it around and get into the green.

Tonight I have a straight bet that I like.
Florida Marlins -169

SAND TRAP? REALLY?

You don’t see many sand traps the the gallery is free to walk through and trample down. Dustin Johnson got ripped. Kaymer did play great and deserved to win. You can’t take anything away from him.
I have a couple picks for tonight, both from the NFL preseason game.
NY Giants +140
Over 32.5  -122

Dallas -164

YANKEES HIT THE ROAD

The New York Yankees aren’t playing their best baseball so far this month.

RED SOX FACE UPHILL FIGHT

The Red Sox will need to turn it on to stand a chance at winning the American League East. It needs to start tonight for Boston who sit six games behind the New York Yankees in the division. Many are coming to the realization that it isn’t the Red Sox year as they got yet [...]


PULLING UP THEIR SOX

The White Sox have moved into first place in the American Leauge Central thanks to some great play as of late. I’m going with them tonight as underdogs.
Chicago +136

Tampa Bay is the hottest team in the majors right now. They also have the best record in the MLB. I’m going with them tonight with their big lefty on the mound.
Tampa Bay -175

BAG HOLDER

As you can see I had a rough trading day yesterday. Somehow Jeff Overton three-putted the 17th and I was left holding the bag. August 1st has not been kind to me, two years ago I lost over 7K on the same date.
Sometimes it’s hard not to let your emotions get involved. I really haven’t [...]
