Underdogs made a comeback on Saturday, but once again, unlucky timing got in the way of a 7-dog surge. Can't complain, but a big win would be nice!

(No selections for Monday, April 19, but Sunday was an all-around good day with baseball "dogs" winning more than half their games - more about that next time).

It's interesting to see how winning and losing patterns sometimes set in, and frustrating to know that there is really nothing we can do about it.

In the 50x "aggressive" side of the 7-dog trial, Series #5 has been missing out on wins day after day, while #4 keeps on raking in the bucks.

And those bucks are not big ones, because the rule applied is that when any one of the seven lines or series recovers, the bet falls back to the minimum and climbs only in response to a loss.

It's a sensible strategy, and a temptation we have to avoid is the urge to set good sense aside and go for broke once in a while.

That urge is, of course, the undoing of many a gambler and it helps build casinos and keep their doors open!

Saturday, the 5x rules set inched forward, and 50x slid backwards a notch or two.

That's life.

Here are today's bets and summaries:
