A little story for you.
I was sitting watching THEE game last year with the foul ball and all at a bar on Clybourn north of Fullerton. Despite what I wrote in the other thread about taking the Cubs as big favs, I had a large number on them and the Under (7- I think) with Pryor (-280 I think) on the mound. It was one of the 1st dates I had gone on with the female I'm kicking around with now. It was not a busy night, but the bar owner and the other 10 or so patrons were all big Cubs fans. I'm getting to know this girl and the game is going along on it's merry way when it all happens. People in the bar are in disbelief and I've made a few wagers in my life and have seen a few things so I don't budge. I've the Under so I'm still not going to get crushed. It's late enough in the game were it won't go Over. NOT. The Cubs give up a ton of runs and the game goes Over. I'm sitting their stewing and mad as hell although you wouldn't have known it. Now I just dumped a TON of money and can't even remotely get any satisfaction out of what just happened. Worse yet, the people that know me in the bar are talking smack about how happy I must be with the final outcome of the game. I'm not going to sit there and tell them I just dropped a large number. I just continue to stew and try to carry myself in a strong fashion on this date. When I really wanted to go outside and run over a lost dog or drive my car thru a store front in rage. Had to end up listening to this girls story on how bad her day went.
