    Scot L., we scalpers have our own demons. Everyday I make multiple mistakes regarding when to buy and when to buy back. I have to have an opinion to take leads early, and when I'm wrong I'm not a happy camper. For example, I debated whether to lay Philly -115
    when I saw -120. I didn't do it, and the game went to -137. I got a little Philly at
    -120, but I blew my chance to load up at
    -115. A couple of days ago when the Chisox were at Minnesota, I took a lead on them. However, when Ordonez was announced as out, the game started coming back the other way, and I got off with a negative 3-cent scalp. However, the late money came on the Chisox, and if I'd waited instead of panicking and getting off early, I could have had a 6-cent positive scalp. Because the dog won, I ended up losing $150 instead of winning $300.

    Next season, I'll also be betting as well as scalping. So, I'll get the grief from both sides. And speaking of grief, the Brewers, as you predicted. lost the game.

      Incorrect Reno, I did not predict the Brewers would lose the game....until it was already lost.I originally predicted they would win and score 8+ runs Damn, I need to start betting in progress! BTW, I also scalp. Have to to survive the bad months, I'm just not a purest. I always put a couple extra on my 'right(today,WRONG) side'. Today laid PHI-120, took back +127, TOR-145,BAL+150....Oh, and I know exactly the stress you're under 5 minutes to post. Been in that mess myself with middles and scalps, mistakes that lose with too much on one side, etc. since '83. For all the stat work I do, and it is an avalanche, regardless of 'capping results, I've still had my best years when the steam was moving and the numbers were falling!
