Final score: 77-66, Nebraska.

E$ improves to 6-0.

The boys at BetDSI asked the question today, "What's the best start ever in EOG's Grand Challenge?"

My response, "Only ComptrBob knows for sure."
 
Sidenote: E$ has been perfect in this space over the past six days.

Bravo!

However, over the same time frame in EOG's Best Bet thread, E$ is a documented 2-4 with losses of 2.4 units.

E$ is living right.

That’s a better record than Rail over the past week….

Pick#7
MLB - Dodgers -1.5 (-109)
 
The depressing thing about tennis is that no matter how good I get, I’ll never be as good as a wall.
- Mitch Hedberg

Pick #8
MLB Twins/Royals OVER 7.5 (-102)
 
A late run in the bottom of the 8fh ends hopes of extra innings fireworks and KC edges Minnesota 2-1 in a pitcher's dual. E$ will try go get back on track tomorrow but is still well ahead of the pace at 6-2.
 
It doesn’t matter what temperature the room is, it’s always room temperature.
-Steven Wright

Pick #9
MLB Cardinals-110
 
Bitten by a second straight 2-1 final, this time by the feisty Pirates, E$ drops his 3rd consecutive. That 6-0 start was certainly needed as his success rate thankfully is still 67%.
 
An escalator can never break, it can only become stairs.

Pick #10
MLB Brewers/Rockies OVER 10.5 (-110)

I hope E$ runs out the grounder.

I will run out the grounder just for you WADE (and maybe some people looking for fades.)

No joke today though, this has turned into a dumpster fire and a train wreck all rolled into one.

Pick #11
MLB Twins (-109)

6-4 two more times gets the $$. LFG.
 
Blowing a 4-1 lead, it continues to be topsy turvy for Minnesota who falls to Detroit at Target tonight 7-6. E$ continues to be streaky suffering his 5th consecutive loss after 6 wins out of the gate.
 
One moment of realization is worth a thousand prayers.

Rockies/Padres OVER 8.5 (+100)

Thank you sir. I think you made history. No contestant has won their first 6 then lost their next 6. Hope you start winning again.
 
E$ definitely set himself up for history, and I hope he wins his next 3 or 4 games to put him back on pace. Talk about a tale of 12 games.
 
A clear conscience is usually a sign of a bad memory.

Pick #13
MLB - Giants/Yankees OVER 7.5 (-110)
 
E$ deservedly vaults back into the win column and halts a 6 game losing streak to inch back over .500 thanks to 2 timely Lee HRs.
 
I don't have a girlfriend, but I do know a woman who would be really mad if she heard me say that.

Pick #14
MLB - Royals/Yankees OVER 9 (-102)
 
E$ runs into a Cy Young cookie Carrasco and the Yankees bash 4 homers in a quick 4-1 win. E$ is now 7-7 through 14 selections.
