    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!!!

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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?
