I can't even win when my team has a 9 point lead + 9 points from the spread to start the 4th?

I guess when it rains, it pours.

It happens. Happens to me a the time. Everyone goes through bad stretches, just try to have amnesia and not let past failures deter you from your normal rhythm. I notice that when I go on bad runs I bet more conservatively and end up passing on plays I'd normally take. You'll turn it around eventually.

Marathon not a race.

Actual record

Today: 1-2, -10.6x
Total: 174-164-5, +84.48x

Total disaster for the day is avoided but still atrocious.

Pacers -10.5 vs bucks?

**NBA Maniac** · 02-22-14, 12:17 AM

Seto i had Portland to win by 8.85, so 8/8.5 was a SHARP LINE, and i didn't touch it.
I am glad you got +9 on Jazz

Agree completely. It's hard though but I have strayed away from any kind of chasing at least. I mean it's tough when it hasn't happened to you in so long. One thing I won't ever do is take a break or any shit like that. I don't believe in that. Gotta shoot yourself out of the funk, just like a player

Back at it tomorrow if there's anything I like. Considering the Nets.

I had an amazing playoffs and an amazing first 2 and a half months this year, I kinda forgot what a losing stretch in the NBA even felt like (although it has happened in other sports), but I've been sky-high in confidence and results in NBA for ages). Hadn't really happened since I had an awful start to last season down 45 units after 2 months.

Yeah I did well to get that extra point, it coulda come in handy but thankfully didn't need it. Utah was the right side given the flow of the game, did Portland even ever lead by 9+? Don't remember.

My other 2 picks were the absolute wrong side though no question about it. It just happens, I don't regret either that much. I mean I see why I shouldn't have picked them now obviously but before the game I was confident and I can't forget that.

For me Cllipers @ Memphis game was a PK in neutral field, so i would take the points with Memphis, and not to forget they were embarassed by Clippers at home last time.
But i din't arrive at time to place the bet.

Not a big fan of laying double digits on the road (or even at home, I mean I do it at times but it's not my most common type of play). That said Indiana needs a confidence boost these days and the Bucks seem to be the right team to give them a nice easy game, I can see the angle. Just not that keen on it.

**Seto** · 02-22-14, 02:18 AM

Crazy how good the NBA has been to be over the last year+. It's kind of an ego thing so I hope I will get the 1228.17 back in the next week, but I won't force anything to - money>>>>ego

**DOM-Ganador** · 02-22-14, 09:36 PM

Seto, was sweating the NO bet as it looked like OT was a possibility.
6.5 never covers for me in OT, so was very happy that it ended.

Good luck with the Pistons , didn`t bet it.

First time all year watched college hoops. Tournament is my favorite hoops of the year. Can`t wait.

Pistons are a goddam trainwreck. As a fan, I suggest putting them on your "never again" list. They're as dysfunctional as it gets my friend.

**DOM-Ganador** · 02-23-14, 12:45 AM

Who woke up J.O`Neil and told him he was Hakeem ???
I love the fact the Nets were hanging around all game but never leading.
Think we got this.

**DOM-Ganador** · 02-23-14, 01:03 AM

Tie game , GS scores the final 7 points.
Think J.Kidd might be 1 and done.
Are there 32 guys who can successfully coach an NBA team in the world??

**Seto** · 02-23-14, 01:13 AM

Man, Steph I love you in general so I won't curse too hard at you but go fukk yourself. A banked 3 with 37 seconds to go to make it a 5 point game? I did say, when it rains, it fukking pours. Unbelievable. What an absolute bullshit loss.

I'm usually good in the rare 3-4 times I fade my squad a year (Mavs fan) - not this time. I almost never bet on the Pistons - and when I do, even if I win I'm reminded of why I almost never bet on them. lol.

What do they say..."Stiff upper lip"

I was watching a bunch of the endings last night along with "low" lites.
Sac parted the sea up 9 with 4 seconds left to give up a lay-up and let C`s cover by 1.

Adding 0.94x to win 0.9x on the first bet, same odds, same book. Total bet 2.19x to win 2.1x.

3 days off were a bit frustrating but I can't force bets. Hopefully I waited for the right card and I can get back on track...

**t-wizzle** · 02-26-14, 10:47 AM

I haven't taken the week off but been very selective so far this week.

I think I agree with your Bulls play. I might keep fading Phoenix.

Yeah I see that. To be honest I liked a couple things on Sunday but was just dead tired that day from travelling and shit and ended up sleeping through the games. lol. I woulda gone 2-2 so not too disappointed about that... Last 2 days were just a wash I literally liked nothing.

The only thing that has me a bit worried is that it looks a bit like a GS line, could be because David Lee might play. Anyway I don't think it's that important in this particular game.
