Slow day at work today, so I'm killing time in the morning. I'm on the Reds, Blue Jays and Mets. So far, I'm being outscored by a combined 11-0.
The only one I have any possible chance of "winning" is if the Blue Jays game gets rained out and I get a refund. Otherwise, it's apparently not my day (or month, for that matter). Come on, Hurricane whatever the fuck your name is...help me out and keep the rain coming in Baltimore.
Earlier this year, I had the Rockies on the road at San Diego for the first five innings. It was a big bet for me...Rockies were dogs, were playing well and I liked the matchup a lot.
Colorado was up 5-0 after the top half of the fifth inning, and the game was called because the rain started coming down. In San fucking Diego...where it *might* rain once a year. Last year, I had the Orioles over the Yankees for 1st 5. Baltimore was at home and ahead in the bottom of the 5th, but the game was called before the fifth was finished because of rain. Problem was, 1st five bets are not official until the whole five innings are complete...so my ticket was graded as a rain out and I didn't win. Even though I had already won the fucking bet. I nearly jumped over the counter at Planet Hollywood and started choking the clerk.
Like you said, they'll call the game when you're winning but will wait it out all day long when you're losing.
