Deeper into Abyss

After reading MiamiDon's blog post today I got motivated enough to look up the hypothetical payoffs on betting the Rockies moneyline.

I saw (952) Colorado Rockies +125, then I noticed
(951) San Diego Padres vs. (952) Colorado Rockies Over 9 (-115).

I decided it was quite strange that when I hit the parlay button I lerned that betting Rockies + Over would be paid $64.13 when risking $20 since clearly Rockies would win a high scoring game or lose a low scoring game.

Now before I hypothetically wager again I must figure out what these lines really mean.

I scraped to the cash in the MATH, managed to get doubled up when I limped an AA from SB and was fortunate enough to have BB call my flop bet with a gut shot and over and then pair his over on turn. I managed to steal enough blinds with air to survive to money despite presense of player who played any hand that you would stand with in blackjack! I ran JJ into a 20 and lost the coinflip when a K hit the flop.

I hope to play the Bodonkey again tomorrow and preferably from home.
