Diary of a MAD GAMBLER!!!

[GemSportsPicks]

Ok, let me prephase this thread with the fact that this is not intended for the faint of heart to follow...

There will not be plays everyday, only when we are in the black will the plays be flowing everyday.

I allow myself 5k in deposits a month.

January 500 deposit 6k withdraw

Febuary 2000 deposits zero wihdraws (Should have 5k in withdraws atleast because have had account over 4k 4 times, but have failed to hit that ever elusive withdraw button each time.) So I'm stuck with bad month so far.

I would rather not post explanations on games in this thread, just my deposits, bets and withdraws, so well here goes.

One last thing why its a MAD gambler and not just a gambler, you will see where the MAD comes in when I'm winning, just got my statement for January to look over, had over 250k in bets, this is nothing to brag about or be proud about, but it is a fact, and it is what makes me MAD.

so 1 game = entire bankroll on a parlay?

[cohbull]

so 1 game = entire bankroll on a parlay?

LOL..he did say he was MAD...

[GemSportsPicks]

I don't believe in bet 1% of bankroll on each game blah blah blah... If it works for you great, but it is not for me... This is not my entire bankroll, but yes each deposit i risk the whole thing each time... I almost never bet parlays this is the 1 out of maybe 30 bets that will be parlay.... Two games going on that I really like... Play loses I'll probably wait until weekend before next deposit... Play wins and I will have 1000 on a 9 oclock play.

[GemSportsPicks]

Looking good at the half of Xavier under... Not so good in Indiana, just hope they can keep it close to the 5 minute mark, then should get the cover... At this point I wish I just had parlayed the first half.

[GemSportsPicks]

And there is my first bad beat already in indiana... Down 12 with 2 seconds left and Halls for whatever reason decides to foul when Purdue just wants to dribble it out.. .What is the ******* point, I hate that stupid bullshit

[RiverBoatGambler]

Tough luck Gem. I'm not sure why the hell IU fouled at the end. Purdue was just gonna dribble around and let the game end at 12 point win.....Cost me as well.

[GemSportsPicks]

IT was extra tough loss for me, because my next two plays were 500 Kentucky 1st half and 1000 kentucky game, then 1000 San Diego State game, that would have got me above 3k and I would have been withdrawing.... Hate when things go that way... I was going to try to wait until Saturday for next deposit but I love Rhode Island tomorrow so, possibilty i will be in here bitching again, if I get screwed again.

January 5500 profit
Febuaary 2000 lost more to come

January 5500 Profit
Febuary 2500 Loss (this statement will always be expressed in what has been put in offset by what has been taking out... So until withdraw is made febuary will still read 2500 loss even if account value is greater then that, because after all, the money isn't real until you hit the withdraw button.

Whats so great about Rhode Island? I mean I know Dayton is nearly unbeatable at home unless their playing a majorly elite team but on the road they are still pretty good. Clearly not as good as if they were to play at home but like I said, still pretty damn good!

[dotheopposite]

Rhode Island is not the same team as the previous years. They are struggling this year. I really like Dayton tonight. The only advantage I give RI is that this is Dayton's second road game in a row.

[Beason5209]

Hey Gem...

Going after Dayton again? I am just scared Dayton is going to hurt me again after that annoying win over La Salle. But you must be really confident that Dayton is not going to win.

[GemSportsPicks]

Good news and bad news good news South Florida was great pick, bad news Datyon somehow went on 21-0 run aginast rhodeisland

[GemSportsPicks]

How with two evenly matched teams does the home team allow a terrible offense road team to go on a 21-0 run against them.... They couldn't get a free throw, a lucky 3 nothing to fall for 8 minutes, yes thats right folks they didn't score for 8 mintues

[GemSportsPicks]

LEts see here, 9 minutes scoreless for Rhodeisland in first half, 21-0 run Dayton first half... Dayton a 58% free throw shooting team is 8-8 from the line... ANd rhodeisland is still up 4

[GemSportsPicks]

Next play is probably going to be Texas I need to run a few more numbers

[GemSportsPicks]

If RhodeIsland can hold on that is

[GemSportsPicks]

There is the Dayton I know and love completely crumbling, I love betting against this bad team and their severly overrated joke of a coach.

[GemSportsPicks]

Ok kids here is the dilemma do I take Texas or the Over.... Gonna be last minute decision

[iMxth3xbossx5000]

Up 12 with 4:41 to play. Great pick Gem. I say this now in advance because if R.I blows this lead with this much time left, they officially SUCK and are a joke of a team, but right now everything looks pretty damn good!!!

I think Over might be the safer play in the Texas game though

[GemSportsPicks]

Word, trying to figure it out right now... Oklahoma has been playing well as off late, and I think thats why line dropped, the thing is if Texas comes to play, they dominate, cause they are so much better at every position.

[GemSportsPicks]

well somehow USF might not cover now... Wow they can't even get the ball up the floor they were just up 18 now 2

[GemSportsPicks]

This is ridiclous how bad this team is collapsing just giving the ball to Marquette over and over again

[GemSportsPicks]

USf really isn't going to cover now, it is unreal how I lose, first Indiana, they were never down by 14 until the last 12 seconds of the game, on one of the dumbest shadiest fouls you will see... Now USF up 18 with 10 minutes left have turned the ball over 12 times in 7 6 minutes...

[GemSportsPicks]

hahaha Crowder makes two falling away fading 3's, this is unbelievable I can't catch a break.

[GemSportsPicks]

And i Lose holy shit, now its definitely time for a break.... When your making great plays and still losing its time to stop... Holly shit

[GemSportsPicks]

Why the **** do they keep panicking, I'm gonna lose by 1 point on a garbage foul at the end again... I feel it coming

[GemSportsPicks]

No OT and I should get the win,, this shit isn't good for my heart though... USF has me talking to myself

[RiverBoatGambler]

You still in it.....Awesome timing on the timeout by Heath...lol

[hkssupra69]

almost there, what's the next pick? :

[GemSportsPicks]

Yea for real the team sucks at 3's the guy makes turn around falling down 3 and it doesn't count, thank god. Well I missed the 9 oclocks so my next play will be on BYU game, probably going to be under

[FireAway5]

Nice win man...that got close! Keep firing away!

[GemSportsPicks]

IF the game had cleared in time I would be on Texas or the over, maybe both, but obviously it didn't clear so the BYU game is next on the board, I'm going 1000 Under and 500 Under first half
