ballfan-congrats on 4 teamer.
I have hit some nice ones, but as you say, it is tough to hit them consistently.
Take that four teamer, write it down and play it again sometime when you think timing is right.
One 4 teamer I have played several times and won is San Fran - 1 1/2 runs, Atlanta, and Arizona and Arizona over the total.
I haven't played it of late as diamondbacks don't usually score a lot.
It is amazing though how sometimes when combination seems right, it will work again.
Good luck
ps I am going to write down your winning combo and may play it sometime since you won with it.

This is a funny story and only meant to entertain and show how you have to be lucky sometimes.
I went to dinner and got done around 9:15 and got home around 9:30.
The early returns were pretty good on the games;I said what the hell-I am going to take a measly $100 and put $50 on the side I like best and then take the other $50 and do a 4 team parlay.
Now remember if I hadn't got home by 9:30, I could not have included the Arizona game.
I see line at LA+166, which I think is high considering that they just walloped the Diamondbacks the day before.
I put up $50 to win $83.
It is getting close to game time, and I hastily throw together a parlay with LA, SF and over the total in SF and over the total in Oakland game.
The rest is history-9 runs scored in Oakland game, La and SF win and late flurry of runs puts SF game way over the total and parlay pays nearly $800.
Thus I win $883 just for being in the right place at the right time.
If I got home at 9:40, I would have just the plays which were doing ok ride and taken the rest of the night off.
Sometimes luck is better than skill.
I certainly will write that combo down for a possible encore.
I have to add in the spirit of fair and honest reporting that I have had my share of late parlays which went up in flames.

Sorry folks, I made a mistake. Over/under on Anaheim was 9 and not 8 1/2 as i thought and thus it reverts back to a 3 teamer cutting into profit.
Oh well, something is better than nothing.
