    I wasn't really referring to his record, more so the fact that he was so on tilt that he went all in on basically a coinflip game. 16-0 would be a sick run, doesn't matter much though if you give it all back.

    I don't get going all in on a game like this.

    What angle or value did you find in a coin toss, rivalry type game?

    There is no angle; I am just stubborn. I want to beat the game that beats me. I have a football model that is hitting over 70% in the last three weeks, and yet I was unwilling to wait just 24 hours for the Army-Navy game today (which I modeled and would have won...how do you think that makes me feel?).

    It doesn't make sense because it isn't supposed to. Degenerates don't make sense.

    This morning I woke up with a headache and as I slowly came to my senses, the first thought that entered my foggy brain was: you have no bankroll.

    that's the worst feeling, but you'll be fine in a few days or a week max as long as you don't check lines and follow scores of games you think you would've bet on. after that, you won't even think about betting or even want to. once next football season comes, you'll be excited for it. enjoy your time off. gl

    Unfortunately, I have woken up with this feeling at least six times in the past four years. It's getting expensive. To the tune of about $20K.

    Waiting is a difficult thing when gambling. I'm betting ncaab, and so far doing okay, but i know that can change just as quick.

    so you're depositing about $3,350 each time and then playing with it until you're out, that's really not that bad overall. how many times have you cashed out in the last 4 years and for how much? gl

    Sounded like 20k is a net loss.
