A rare day when the breaks went the way of The Cooler. Before the Mexico Open I bet Rham. That was an easy play with a decent payout ...$20 to win $108 In hoop action I played the Bucks and Warriors. Nice parlay that cashed. On to baseball where I cashed the Astros +1' runs and the Rangers +1' runs. I recall way back when there was a discussion on red boarding here in the Basement. As I recall, it was frowned upon but I think it was spider who said "Why not red board" ? I realize anyone can say they won when they did not but I've always considered members to be truthful. Wins should be celebrated! From poker hands to curling, we have covered it! Darts anyone?  |

Looks like our old pal gooch may be on the loose. I would NEVER post in the wrong place and discuss red boarding..(insert eye roll)! But the Cooler struck again when I had Golden State -2' and they won by 1. But I had already put that game in the winner section. doh...hey hoop. what's up with the Sox? Your opinion on the Boston Red Sox...I have seeing a game in Fenway on my bucket list if ever possible!

Sox? Poor hitting and pitching a bad combo so far.

You should definitely make it to Fenway Spanky. Have been to 6 games there in the last 43 years and enjoyed every one. Plus the Italian sausage sandwiches sold outside are exceptional.

Two places I have to see before I check out are Chicago and Boston. Boston a priority. I just have to have some REAL Clam Chowder! Seafood in Amarillo sucks. Red Lobster and an Oyster bar. Chicago for the architecture. Boston for Fenway and and the food.

I went to two Sox games, Earl Weaver's birthday weekend.
A friend once worked in cable TV so I had the pleasure of sky boxes twice, Three Rivers and Camden Yards. He was also a racing friend and I talked him into trips to Belmont, Colonial, two Breeders Cups, SA and CD. I won a trip to Williamsburg at work and turned that into Louisville. If you live in the east and going to SA, fly to Denver and take the train to Vegas through the Rockies. Rent a car and drive to Ca.
Penn National was half way between us so met there a few times, once then going to Belmont from there. Talked him into Saratoga one year so took off a week, camped near Cooperstown so hit the Hall on a rainy day. Got there and no power. OMG the kids were terrible once we got in.
Almost Forgot Lost Code at Thistledown, the horse being a fave of mine and Skip lived in Pittsburgh at the time so that was half way. That's when Three Rivers happened.
Nice having a racing friend that lived in a lot of different places. His years at Bethany Beach put Ocean Downs on my radar. I had my best day ever there betting simulcasts. Hit 5 of 6 in a million dollar mandatory pick 6 at GP, nobody had 6.
