I've heard that expression before, and I'm sorry, but you're only on the right side when you cash a ticket. If I'm cashing a ticket I don't care what kind of bonehead move a team did to blow a cover. It might make you feel better to say a loser was "on the right side", but it sure doesn't help what should be everyone's main objective of growing their bankroll. Just my two cents. Personally my bankroll has been reduced down to where it was when I started the hoops season because of a bunch of bets that were not "on the right side".
Alabama blew a second half lead, so you got one of your bad losses back with the Auburn winner.
