iloseagain · 07-19-10, 10:06 PM

toronto is another one right there

nickluva · 07-19-10, 10:06 PM

Yeah it's been a rough two days in that dept for me. I'm going back to my formula of avoiding picking favorites. It's all about the Dogs!!!

Betting baseball = flippin fukin coins

Still doesn't stop me from making 20 bets a day though

philliesfinest · 07-19-10, 10:08 PM

Hardest sport to handicap and a little luck too had dodgers yesterday blew a 4 run lead had fla. Today thought they blew a 3 run lead as yogi said it aint over till its over

really 20?? The most I can do is 5 and then the odds really turn against you

within the last week I lost Tex at home against Balt bottom of the 9th 2 outs 2 strikes and the O's cranked a grand slam Tex Losses.
yesterday Dodgers blow the lead and lose in the bottom of the 9th; Chi Sox piss away the lead and lose in the bottom of the 9th; Ump blows a call at the plate and the Giants lose on the blown call;
Tonight so far I lost the Rockies on a walk off homer bottom of the 9th; and the Blue Jays blow the lead in the bottom of 9th and lose in the 10th;

Unfortunately I feel your pain

Clear2Land · 07-19-10, 10:09 PM

dodgers and giants yesterday...colorado and toronto today...detroit pending today but the way its been going ill just count that one a loss! Cant wait for the LAD walkoff homer tonight!

i think basketball and football are much harder but baseball can be a pain on some days too

Inspirited · 07-19-10, 10:23 PM

yeah, i've lost 4 games in the last two days this way. I was picking games at 67% over 11 days and last 3 days I'm 9-14 and getting worried.

True but it seems like it does for me but I have my fair share of bad luck

LLXC · 07-19-10, 11:09 PM

Had Colorado and Detroit today...oh well, sometimes I win them.

tmorton · 07-20-10, 12:02 AM

does colorado get it done tomorrow after a loss like this... Like them again

melia26 · 07-20-10, 12:30 AM

Very hard to swallow for sure. White Sox yesterday coughing up 4 in the 9th was a huge let down. I thought Colorado making a comeback would be my payback but nada. I also had Detroit, so the torture of watching extras just makes me believe I'm in a funk. Bad day all around. Oh and then I thought, wait I bet the Indians straight, didn't I? Nope, put em in a parlay with the Red Sox and freaking Mariners!

netinfo · 07-20-10, 12:37 AM

I had the Rockies and Blue Jays tonight, oh well.

Brian891 · 07-20-10, 12:38 AM

I feel ur pain melia. I had texas vs baltimore when they blew the lead in 9th and lost in extra innings, then had detroit and colorado tonight. Days like today make u forget all the days when luck was on your side. Frickin huston street givin up a homer to a schmo.

GroundnPound · 07-20-10, 02:55 AM

No worst feeling, then a basketball shot that means nothing like a last second three pointer that blows your cover. At least when you lose in baseball ML you lost because the other team changed the outcome. Basketball you get worst beats with spreads.

bumppinee · 07-20-10, 09:07 AM

man u aint never lied cubs giving up 4 runs in the ninth, ******* royals giving up the game winning run in the ninth against the A's, closer ******* suck this year, i had the dodgers vs the yankees and broxton give up 4 ******* runs in the ninth, i can go on orioles done blown two saves for me in the ninth its maddening man all you have to do is pitch one ******* inning shit crazy.

redore33 · 07-20-10, 09:11 AM

Lost more RL gms this yr than ever before. Always late it seems.

GoggsViggs · 07-20-10, 09:12 AM

Hell yeah. I got TDP'd by Jenks/Broxton/Gregg last 3 games. unbelievable. well..hope luck turns around for everyone here.

Clear2Land · 07-20-10, 10:21 AM

Need a few good plays today to get back on track...anybody have any thoughts?

thebestthereis · 07-20-10, 12:23 PM

you will always face bad beats and losses that should be wins no matter what, more than you want. you cannot and will never avoid these things when playing or betting on sports. the one guarantee you have and something that you can ultimately make sure never happens is changing the size of your bets or mismanaging your bankroll. if you have mastered that first, then learn how to pick winners you will be around longer than you may think. good luck!

keith22 · 07-20-10, 03:08 PM

It seems all my big bets lose late in the game. Started last month with Reds giving up 7 runs to the braves in the 9th. Most recently the Whitesox and Dodgers Sunday. Bluejays and Rockies yesterday. Any body know a good voodoo doctor to remove the hex?

Ninersnut · 07-20-10, 03:10 PM

Nope. I usually lose mine in the first two....
