Celts cost me a 16k parlay

betme · 02-25-11, 01:12 AM

if i were u i would of hedge 2nd half for 8 grand. tough lost

goduke · 02-25-11, 01:14 AM

yeah i didnt have 8 grand and gonzaga and usc were still playing at the time. that would of been quite the risk

tokio · 02-25-11, 01:15 AM

holy chit man, thats a pretty tough loss. but damn what a payout if you would of hit!

Scahom1 · 02-25-11, 01:16 AM

I knew as soon as the trade was announced my bet was shot too. Tough loss man...

goduke · 02-25-11, 01:17 AM

yeah its harder to swallow when they drag out the game and then make retard play after retard play at the end

goduke · 02-25-11, 01:22 AM

Ive been pretty much doing this all week.....yesterday it was nebraska that cost me a 14k parlay, then tuesday it was vandy blowing the game for 11k, monday it was villanova on two parlays for a total of 19k and ok state+19 for two other parlays for 11,500. oh it doesnt end sunday was ucla for 12k and saturday was memphis in 3 parlays for 26k. Pretty much going to jump off a bridge soon......

brettley · 02-25-11, 01:29 AM

Why not just bet straight and get paid for capping majority of games correctly. Parlays suck.

BetterBizness · 02-25-11, 01:32 AM

you were live with 3 minutes left... HEDGE... WTF ...

already way too many donkey responses...

Tough to hedge...

demens · 02-25-11, 01:32 AM

Thats why Parlays are tough. Should have kept an eye on this one since the trade was a big factor on it and tried to hedge live. Denver ML was at + money all the way till 6 min left in the game.

forzuto13 · 02-25-11, 01:35 AM

Oh man. That one hurts! I imagine a lot of people lost on Boston. And I'm sure many put the bets in last night at -3 or whatever, before the trades were announced today. Sucks!

goduke · 02-25-11, 01:38 AM

for all the guys telling me to hedge did you not see the gonzaga game on my parlay??? that game was still going, if i hedge and then they would of blown it id be out both ways.

Riot · 02-25-11, 01:46 AM

i feel you dude ... i got on at -3 last night. i haven't yelled at my TV like that since i was stuck on a level in Megaman.

warriorfan707 · 02-25-11, 01:49 AM

vyomguy · 02-25-11, 02:38 AM

my suggestion is to do open parlay with open spots...wait till the game-time to check all injuries etc.. and make picks. That way you would avoid a scenario like today where boston traded bunch of players.

dwluv3333 · 02-25-11, 02:59 AM

problem is most of the celtics backers bet last night (as i did) to avoid having a line getting bum-rushed up by a point by the other 99% of people betting on it...

lesson for next season..... never bet on games near the trade deadline

jsmithj88 · 02-25-11, 03:42 AM

u shuda realized it was a TNT game
crazy shit happens on tnt

NBA_Brosuf · 02-25-11, 04:14 AM

next time, post up your bets and we will follow you.

In this way, you will get us as your live consultant if there is a needed hedge.

LOL

You'll make serious dividends in the long run if you bet single games or parlay 2 or 3 teams only.

Thats the way it goes son. I do know how u feel as all I needed was Australia the reigning 3 time world champions in cricket to have a higher score after 15 overs vs zimbabwe to make 15k. 9 leg parlay and they were the only one's. I actually have won 15k since then so its quickly forgotten. Like you today I needed this game to determine my bet but i needed the nuggets. Won 10.6 today.

Hope u win a ****** million best of luck champ.

kobstopa · 02-25-11, 06:44 AM

oh man, 9 parlay & missed just 1, don't let it get to ya & move on, focus on the next one. that would be added to a nice bankroll though.

redrum · 02-25-11, 07:43 AM

nice try. keep it comin u will hit it

Holdin Aces · 02-25-11, 10:42 AM

Tough loss on that one. I went with Denver just because of their great home court advantage and the C's being short on players. Tough loss, hope you hit a big one this weekend.

SKiLLsSoLoN · 02-25-11, 10:48 AM

I guess that's why they call it gambling... Nice picks tho.

PorkChop · 02-25-11, 10:53 AM

On to the next one. That's what this game is all about. Good luck.

squid44 · 02-25-11, 10:58 AM

tough loss, i feel your pain. losing money sucks! winning money doesnt!

JBT · 02-25-11, 11:33 AM

Why not post your picks in the future? Somebody might want to tail playing them as singles

Is your hit percentage always this high, or just every once in a while?

COYLO · 02-25-11, 11:37 AM

with those tough losses your due a major win keep plugging

pokerpro44 · 02-25-11, 11:38 AM

tough loss good luck next time.

panik · 02-25-11, 11:43 AM

I know how you feel. I have tons of those, just not that big of a parlay... Like 1 dollar to win 3000-5000.... Sucks I know.

Bullshit!

skinswillbback · 02-25-11, 03:38 PM

Misery loves company. How about this one. Have 20K 8 team parlay down to Denver ML vs South Alabama. Denver up 31-17 at half at HOME. In the bag right. No f'in way. Outscored 31-16 in second half and 8-0 to end game for 48-47 LOSER.

Mac4Lyfe · 02-25-11, 03:46 PM

Anybody risking real money on 8 and 9 team parlays deserve to lose their shirts

Didnt lose my shirt it was 250 dollars. Thanks though. You stick to the way you want to bet and ill stick to the way i want to bet. If i bet all those games straight up i wouldnt have the opportunity to make that much. I like taking the risk, yes it burns a little this week because ive been missing parlays left and right by one but thats why parlays are nice because you dont lose your shirt on one bet like you can doing single bets. Im not really into sports betting to grind it out day after day after day, it makes it not as much fun. It would just feel like poker to me if i did that. Thanks again for your valuable take though

benrama · 02-25-11, 04:38 PM

Keep at it mate, know the feeling. I usually post crazy parlays while drunk - remember one was $500 to win $15k, checked it in the morning and first 4 legs come in. Scroll down to check the 5th one live (it was NCAAF), close game needed the team to lose by less than 14. Couldn't stop thinking about it. Had the good sweats happening, pulse racing. Come back to check it at half-time, the score was like 42-0. FKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

But man that's why I'm in this sports betting for those moments. Agree with you not interested in the grind, fk that, this is entertainment not a job.
