I love Teasers !!! what a NFL weekend

This weekend I had an all time high of 27 NFL bets. I won 26, pushed 1 and 0 loses !!!! Just incredible, I used the following teams to do the teasers NYG,DAL,HOU,KC,NO,TB,SEA and all of them covered !!!, the only team I was going to use but did not like the line was WAS, the line was -8.5(-2.5 with the tease), so I didn't bet it; at the end it was a good (lucky?) decision, since Washington won 21-19 and didn't cover the -2.5. I do bet one WAS -8(-2) line just like one minute before kick off (my wake up time)and that was my only push.
I feel pretty proud because I almost didn't bet any game since I was pretty tired on Saturday night, Sunday morning, but even I was pretty sleepy, I went to my computer like at Sunday 5AM and did my homework and bet all the games I thought there was a mathematical edge. It worked and I felt proud of my professional gambling responsibility (whatever that means).
There were 2 incredible games where unlikely things happened at the end just to help me cover, the Tampa Bay and the Houston game. After the 3rd quarter, I thought I had already lost the HOU game and all my HOU teasers since the score was 32-7, but with an unbelievable 4th quarter, HOU scored 29 points just to help me cover :), they lost at the end 38-36 with a NFL all time record 8th field goal by Rob Bironas of Tennessee, but since I had HOU+7.5 I was pretty happy, such an unbelievable game. Since it's pretty unlikely I'll win these many bets without losing one in the future in a given day, I just feel the need to post all the bets:

Monterrey !! Congreso SMM

Ahora ando en Monterrey en el Congreso de la Sociedad Matemática Mexicana, este próximo Jueves 18 daré una platica titulada: "Beating the odds: existe tal cosa como un jugador profesional de poker", sera de 12:30 PM a 2 PM tiempo de Monterrey en el auditorio del FIME en la UANL. Así que si de pura casualidad lees este blog y vives en Monterrey o cercas, ve a la platica.
Llegue a Monterrey desde el jueves pasado para asistir al curso de entrenadores de la Olimpiada Mexicana de Matemáticas, estuvo muy suave y resolvimos problemas muy buenos, esta semana es el congreso y hay miles de platicas de Matemáticas, algunas se ven muy interesantes, pero yo creo asistiré solo a aquellas que tienen que ver con la Olimpiada o que el expositor es compa, jeje. Ya casi tengo mi platica lista, pero este Miércoles le daré los toques finales, esperemos y todo salga bien.

Cash sessions and a good sports betting month

Cleveland won again and won the series against the Yankees, also since I have Cleveland and Boston, I already secured a good profit in the AL Pennant, just with Cleveland alone almost erase my loses on a 10-20 NL terrible session I had (-2 buy ins), one night I just couldn't sleep and decided to play 10-20 NL (??) for the first time, what a time to start, I couldn't sleep but I was tired for sure, and decided to gamble high stakes !!!! (and yes it was a dumb gamble) and of course I got killed since I'm not in that level yet, but thanks to Cleveland and winning all my sessions after that in lower limits from 2-4 to 5-10 NL, that night has been forgotten.
I'm leaving town today, heading to Monterrey, I'm going to the meeting of the Mexican Mathematical Society at the UANL, I'll give a talk there (program 35:10) about how to beat the odds and showing some examples using mathematics in poker and gambling in general. I have several good examples and I really expect the talk to be successful and I'm pretty sure plenty of people will attend, since gambling (and how to make some money of it) is not a topic well known in Mexico and I'm sure it will generate some interest, hopefully my ideas will be clear and everybody who attends will enjoy it.

Cleveland !!

I won good money betting Cleveland on games 1 and 2 versus the Yankees, didn't bet game 3 and the Yankees won, I was not going to bet game 4, since Yankees are in a must-win situation playing in New York, Wang is a much better pitcher than Paul Byrd, but the price was just too good to pass, Cleveland +222, I could not resist it and bet the tribe, go Indians !!

Some baseball bets

Last week was a very good one for me on Sports Betting, lets see how this one goes,

For today games I have the following:

CHI (Lilly) at ARI (Davis); I have CHI -122
NYY (Wang) at CLE (Sabathia); I have CLE +118 (3 units)
COL (Morales) at PHI (Kendrick); I have PHI -138

I also bought some Boston (35) and Cleveland (22) to win the AL Pennant

My Fantasy Baseball season

I'm really proud of this league (I'm Resurgam Hicetnunc), I just destroyed the competition, it's just amazing winning 7 out of 10 categories in a 12 owner Rotisserie Fantasy Baseball League. Damn, I owned these guys :)

This year I played 2 Fantasy baseball leagues with the following results, 1 out of 12 (4 paid) and 4 out of 13 (5 paid). So, with my 2006 fantasy league I'm now 3 for 3 on fantasy baseball cashes. This is the breakout of the money won this year:

1st place F2: +$1200
4th place F1: +$200
Fees F2: -$250
Fees F1: -$200
Sidebets F1: -$400
Sidebets F2: +$400

So I won $950 for my fantasy baseball addiction.

WCOOP Main Event

I'm too tired to post now, but let me tell you I played yesterday like 12 hours straight and got 111th place (out of 2998) in the $2,600 Main event of the WCOOP, I won $11,242.50 for my efforts. It is such a ridiculous tourney, 1st place was a whopping $1,378,330.50; damn !!!, more than a million dollars in an internet poker tournament, just amazing. As I'm typing this, the tournament is still running !!!!, as you can see in the picture above, running for almost 21 hours !!!! just wow, such an amazing tournament, I think I played pretty well and make some tough decisions, and some good creative plays that worked, and in general I'm happy with my result. I almost don't play it, but some internet friends convinced me to do it by buying whatever action I was willing to sell. I cashed 2 times in the WCOOP (out of 11,12?), but by far, the Main Event was my best tournament, the one I feel the most relaxed and happy with my decisions.

Here are the payouts:
