    Angels paying off on all tickets again tonight it might be. Initially bet -1,5 +140 $224.96 and ML-130 $260 so $484.96 to lose. Then 20 minutes later greedy when the Angels were up by 3 and took -2.5 $192.50 because I was thinking the spread would stick so take the bets some and risk $677.46 at this point. Then the next thing you know, the Angels are up only 5-4 and only one bet is active to pay if the difference remains the same at the end. Then 30 minutes later I thought I better take -2.5 when it's paying for $80.84 +180 and -3.5 for +320 for $50 so $808.30 at risk. Now I'm seeing all these bets losing so might as well stab back down at -1.5 +450 for $100 so $908.30 at risk. The Angels wound up scoring 2 more in the top of the 8th and the A's nothing. If the spread doesn't get worse for me, I'll have $2152.08 or $460 if the Angels win by 1 and only $300 left out of $1208.30 on my account. Top of the 9th 0 outs, I remembering the A's scoring the end of the game in the 9th almost ruining my MLs and -1.5s allowing the Angels to win by 2 when they were up by 4. Needed all the wins yesterday to pay for $660 on the Dodgers who blew it. I'd like this pay day. i must say the Angels have given me some pretty good betting action and profits this year, seems like you can count on them to hit and score. They might be a world series team. Just noticed they took 3rd, with one out and the count 2-2 now. They're a winning team. They're plus 20,000 to win the world series at the almost bottom of the heap. Now they're up 9-5, all bets pay if spread matches pace. $2600 for $908, I'll take that. Ha 10-5, they can't possibly blow this now with a man on 2nd and 1 out. No way the A's are believers when they get to the plate, they're being embarrassed on the field and they can't get themselves off the field. When I was making these bets, I was wondering about 2 nights betting on the Angels, then as the score was 5-4, I was telling myself I deserved it and now it seems like digging and betting more paid off this time. I obviously hate it when all this time and money invested, cashing only some or losing every single bet. Yesterday when I parlayed $300 into between $6 and $7,000 it felt good, but losing back $1500 to $2000 hurt and tonight I won a lot back, so what's next, spend it, save it, gamble it? I just can't imgagine winning $5,000 more back, but I imagine it is possible. Angels up now 10-5, with man on 3rd and 2 outs, it does feel good bringing up the all bets pay. Now to hope it's 3 easy outs for the A's and pay day. I can only afford the A's one run, so obviously man on and a HR is what I'll be fearing and denying as I see the score change if it happens. No men on and 2 outs, this part of compulsive gambling I like. 3 outs, a-ok. Somehow this didn't add up, perhaps the $300 balance left was bogus as it sometimes was. Nope it turns out my -1.5 +450 was bet on the A's and I didn't notice because sometimes the A's I can confuse with the Angels since they both wear A's. I was wondering why the cash out value didn't change or went up with the A's on base and how I suddenly got nice odds.
