@jjgold the thread title I know so apologies.

I’ve been running real hot in my racing thread and overall the past couple of months but finally had a losing weekend. Lost right at $600 overall in my racing thread this weekend even after hitting a $338 straight bet winner in Sunday’s race.

Was going to cash that out and call it for the weekend but when I went to cash out at @KVB ‘s Kalshi I saw they had Oscars odds. I loved Sean Penn in “One Battle” and I could pick up another $140 if I went all in on the $338. Figured he was a shoe-in and did it. He won 10 minutes later.

Then saw the Knicks down 9 at half at home Golden State, who were playing with 5 guys they picked up at the Y. Went all in again -190ish. Fairly easy winner.

After that was graded USA and the Dominican Republic were going to the bottom of the 9th. Commercial break. USA -680 up 2-1. Went all in for another $125 profit then cashed after Miller stranded @JDS boy Julio Rodriguez on third base.

Wound up cashing about $410 more than I would have.

Took some of the sting out of a down week in the racing thread where I had a few winners but just didn’t pair them correctly in my parlays. Still lost overall but a nice little live run to close out the weekend.

One of those little live bet runs when I got out when I was ahead. Timing is always key in these stretches.

Luckily don’t do them that often anymore. They can be dangerous. USA could have easily given up that lead in the 9th.
