Friday....worst bad beats of my betting career

[BennyFang]

I just needed to vent......I heard that it's supposed to be therapeutic.....

Portland -4 (NBA)....up double digits in 2nd half.......loses
LA Clippers -2.5 (NBA)......up double digits in the 2nd half....loses in OT
Orlando -5 (NBA)......up double digits in 2nd half....loses in OT
Notre Dame pk......up double digits in 2nd half.....loses in OT

- $1020

Someone please give me a (the L word) today without actually using that word. At least I could then say I won one and be better off than yesterday!

GL to all tonight

Lakers/Mavs over looks great, I watched the Mavs-Knicks game and if the Mavs keep playing that run n gun style the game could be over in the third quarter.

We all have had nights like this. It get's better. GL.

Been there many times. Sometimes it gets so bad you don't think you will ever win another game. Take a few days off. It always helps me.

these are a couple of factors that put me off a little.. but i still favour the 'over'

Plays Under on road teams when the total is between 190 and 199.5 points (LA LAKERS) - very good team outscoring opponents by 6+ points/game against an opponent that scored 60 points or more in the first half last game - are a dominant 45-19 since 1996. We are only seeing an average of 188.7 total points scored in this situation. The Under is 37-18 in the Lakers' last 55 overall and 20-6-1 in their last 27 games as a road underdog.

If your gonna get the over please save your money and bet the 1H over instead

[LeagueCapper]

This game will have a playoff atmosphere to it and there will be defense in the 2nd half and a slower pace

yes

or you have to develop a routine after losing some bets in a unlucky way...
maybe go outside and get some fresh air or take a bath and try to keep cool.

but in the end, betting is like basketball
shooters have to keep shooting. they might need a short break but then they should never lose confidence.
shooters shoot themselves out of a slump.
and we have to bet ourselves out of a slump

I've been through this soo often, but every time I was able to recover

good luck

Don't listen to the above posters. You need to find a game you really like tonight and try to win it all back quickly. Just go for it.
