* Vacation Friday *

Even God took a day of rest. Just a head's up to all the Sports Betting Fix followers/Banner enthusiasts, that Mr. Fix It will be making his way to the BIG Apple and preparing for a highly anticipated ACDC concert on Friday, July 31. Banner plays should resume (assuming I make it back to the hotel alive) on Saturday, August 1. All's hoping that the DRIVE stays ALIVE and my NYC trip becomes generously sponsored by the BetUs Bonus Masters!

Underground July 30

It took a game and a half, but Banner's hot streak lives to see another day! One play to satisfy everyone's craving on travel Thursday.

Underground Report Week 10

Where do I begin? After being bent over and humiliated for the past 7 days, the pain and suffering comes to what we all hope is a permanent end. New week, new slate of games, new train of thought. Here's a look at the natural disaster that put our bankrolls on life support.

Last Week: 6-16-3 (Sides: 3-12 Totals: 3-4-3) -21.5 units

2 Weeks Ago: 11-11 (Sides: 8-8 Totals: 3-3) -1 unit

Overall: 126-98-7 (Sides: 86-64 Totals: 40-34-7)

After the effects of Hurricane MLB, our side efficiency slims to 57.3% while our overall drops to 56.3%. Shockingly, even after the horrendous week we just experienced, Banner's yearly numbers still turn a significant profit.

Underground Report Week 9

An abbreviated week in MLB leaves Banner and his followers at an even par in Week 9. Because of juice and Sunday's unusual slip, we find ourselves down a unit for only the second time this season (That's including the horrendous Interleague garbage). Here's a look at the weekly numbers.
