The Atlanta Hawks have broken me mentally. How do I recover?

Sorry if the image is blurry. Couldn't upload anything bigger from my phone.

$100 to win $12,341.
Hawks the one I didn't hit.

ouccccccch,. feel your pain

Did you have Atlanta moneyline, or were you laying the points? Because if you were laying 9, then you were only up by 2 ATS with 9 minutes to play......not really that shocking.

You're a 9 point favorite.
You're holding an 11 point lead at home with 9 minutes to play.
You score 6-24 in the last 9 minutes and lose by 7 to a Boston team on a 6 game skid.

They've got to me here. I can't bet again until I can let this one go.
I actually dreamt about this game last night. I still can't believe they lost. It's haunting me boys.

(Yes, I know it's the NBA and these things happen all the time. I just had a good feeling about this one. As an isolated play I wouldn't care. Given the circumstances of this parlay it's rocked me.)

100 bucks on a 10 leggers?? you rich bastard :P

Bad luck man... that burns.

Yeah it is, but I played one of these about a month ago and was going to play for $100 but backed out and played for $50 and it hit so this time I thought I would load up. An extra $50 would win me an extra 6grand and I really liked this all the plays.

If I missed a spread or total I wouldn't have cared, but to lose it on a ML in that situation burnt me. Haha.

If you can't see the bet slip

Puda · 11-24-13, 10:43 PM

what were the other 9 plays? hard to see.

Mocknroll · 11-24-13, 10:52 PM

The ticket reads:

Ohio State 1H -21
USC 1H -13
Georgia 1H -14
Ore/Arz 1H o35
TA&M/LSU 1H u36
Clemson -40
Baylor/OKState u78
Clippers ML
Hawks ML
Spurs ML

$100 @ 124/1

To make my day worse I had Hawks ML and spread in some of my other plays.

If Hawks just won the game I was going to collect $16200.

If Hawks covered I was going to collect $18100.

Learnt a valuable lessons to do with eggs and baskets.

keep pounding if you make the right % plays it will all even out in the end given proper bankroll management. numbers don't have feelings lol BOL

if atl was your last bet on the parlay,you shouldve hedged to make a profit

Mocknroll · 11-24-13, 11:42 PM

Was not, otherwise I would have. I always do lock in profit in those situations (despite what others suggest) for this very reason.

Baylor OKState was in play and USC was yet to start.

At the end of the 3rd I had the Baylor under looking good, Spurs up by 30, Hawks up by 11 and USC yet to start.
