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

    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.

    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.

    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.
