    Back to 9 (-115) for the Dinos-Doosan total. Haven't seen a total that low in a long time.

    Let's get back on the train for the over.

    Okay, okay...

    With all of the writers at The Athletic, how has there NOT been an oral history on the making of this commercial?

    I can't imagine how long this took to get everyone together, how drunk everyone was by the end of the shoot and whether the participants knew they were in the midst of television gold.

    Twist my arm. A couple of my books were at 8.5 with massive juice to the over, but I took the 9/-115. Fun to have something to wake up to in the east.

    If they keep hitting the over we can pool our winnings and buy the team.

    This will probably just remain my new "daily play". I'll throw $11.50/$12 on the over each day, depending on the juice.

    My last "auto play" was during the NBA season. Road favorites of 5 to 9,5 points. I auto-bet them -- some nights, you get one team. Some nights you get three or four. Those specific plays went 37-21 for the year. I seem to remember a lot of Clippers, Mavs, Bucks, Pacers and Heat covering as road favoties.

    Here is the reasoning. If you're an NBA road favorite between 5-9.5, that means you're quite a bit better than the home team. Fouls at the end of games will often take a team winning by 4 or 5... and make it 8 or 9 as the losing team is missing threes. Once the losing team is down 7+ points with under :20 left, they just quit fouling.

    Doosan train slowing down, only a 2-1 win this morning.

    It means they’re streaky. That’s better than choppy (win one, lose one, win one...)

    So I would have lost a $620 bet today instead of a $340 bet yesterday.
