    Today I learned a valuable lesson...
    That lesson is not to be too greedy.

    I was going to ML parlay OKC and Denver but I added Washington thinking more $$$. I ended up losing that parlay solely because of Washington. I was pissed So I doubled my bet on Den -2 just b4 the tip-off and it's looking good so far.

    So the lesson is: Don't be too greedy and gambling is like running a marathon.

    That is all and hope you guys had a good day.

    Greed and fear have killed me every time.

    Self control is necessary to win. Think about this: a professional poker player folds on around 95% of his hands, he only stays in to the end on around 5% of his hands...

    If we all had that kind of discipline, I don't think the books would win.

      Washington are 0-18 I believe on the road and the home team is always a good bet. But glad to see you doubled and cashed.

          it happens to all of us. If wiz won tho u wouldnt be saying it. I seriously wanted to go 10k on nuggets -10.5 b4 i knew lebron was out but didnt have the guts. Still went 13k straight up on denver and a bit on -10.5. Pissed I didnt do it tho. Its just too much to go on a big line but heat had a poor record vs denver and i reckon even if lebron played they would have got smoked.

            if problem were greed, you would've gone all-in on nuggets/thunder and problem would be solved

            problem ain't greed, problem is you're a moran thinking you got 2 locks to begin with
