    Looking for Help
    I've selected 8 games the past three days (including UConn/DePaul under) and I've failed miserably ALL 8 times.
    I need to now win 9 in a row to get back to even for the week.

    Can someone please fu(kin give me one winner.....one winner please! I swear to goodness that there aren't any winners out there.

      Freeze, you were the first to post, therefore I will be playing Bonaventure.
      The losing streak must stop........what are the odds of going 0-9 on a coinflip??? It has to be less then 2%

          man that is horrible luck. seriously:

          50%^8 = .0039 or .4%

          If you picked 8 sides randomly you would've had less that 1% chance of losing all 8. That is awful. I am so sorry man. I don't have a winner for you but I wish you better luck in the future. Statistically, you pretty much have to have better luck


          edit: probability of losing 9 in a row are .2% but the odds of losing on st bonny are 50% lol

            ALL NCAA! My bad luck is well documented.....but Im trying to put things in perspective, I could have cancer, lost a loved one......losing money to a philty habit isn't the wrost thing in the world.

            As we speak, I'm writing down Rutgers and Seton Hall on a piece of paper......and will randomly draw one, and pick them in the 1st half.
            I was going to pick Seton Hall -2, but there's no reason I need to be sticking to my guns right now....absolutely no way.

            And the winner is.......

              ....Seton Hall.

              Man, I don't like where this is going!
              And the line jumped to -2.5......Who wants to bet that it lands on 2, and I'm a loser. I've seen it too many times lately.

              Most recently, I had Hofstra +7.5 the other day vs ODU.....I was trying to buy an extra point, but my phone was giving me problems, so I accepted 7.5. Guess how much ODU won by???

                picking games isn't a coin-flip and isn't 50/50. if you are selecting games based on an opinion you can go on a losing streak worse any coin-flipping could ever do. do an experiment and document it. pick any game of of a hat, any game. use heads for the dog and tails for the favorite (or vice-versa just be consistent). flip a coin for 10 straight days, i guarantee you'll never lose all 10 no matter how many times you repeat the experiment. i have done this many times usually for a month and have never even come close to losing 10 in a row.

                      Thebest.....I know.....I'm a bad handicapper, I think because I watch sports non stop I know enough to beat the system, but thats about as far from the truth. I suck at this I know, but Im addicted, and cant stop.

                      It starts with Seton Hall 1st half, then Bonaventure freeze.

                          Being the donkey I am, I also took Arsenal and Barcelona under 3.5. I dont know much about soccer, so what I am doing??
                          Arsenal won 2-1 at home, and Barcelona would need at least 2 goals to advance....I imagine Arsenal will do everything possible to keep an extra defender in the box at all times, even after they surrender one goal. If a second is surrendered, I still have another security blanket. We'll see, seems logical.....but logic has not worked lately.

                                    Ive had teams who have leads most of the game (C of C yesterday) who choke and cant score in the last 10 mins, Ive had teams who have made miraculous comebacks to lose by half a point (VCU yesterday) but 75% of the time, I just get slapped around and abused like no other.

                                            Barca would only need one goal to advance, provided they don't concede any. The tiebreak if the aggregate is the same is road goals.

                                                    firehoyt....I actually followed SJ for about a week a few months back, and I believe he went 1-4 over that stretch. I jinxed his picks, and agreed to stay away!

                                                    YAAAA....the blabbering fool gets off the snide. 1-8 in his last 9....but I feel like a million bucks now.

                                                        I went back to the piece of paper trick, and this time it told me to take Rutgers +0.5 2nd Half.
                                                        Risked what I won on Seton Hall 1st half. Cmon Scarlet Knights!

                                                          Tough pick, I took the Hall. They're playing better, but we'll see.

                                                            Am I really this jinxed people....am I???

                                                            Barcelona/Arsenal are tied 0-0 into the 4th extra minute of the 1st half........the score now stands at 3-1 Barcelona at the 70 minute mark.

                                                            Really.......fu(kin 4 goals in about 25 minutes when I have under 3.5 and paid ridiculous juice to get it?? Am I really this jinxed.....Ive never seen anything like it. I get lucky with my piece of paper, then fu(ked with this piece of sh!t and I end up losing even more.......I feel like Im in a trance, and I cant wake up, cuz I simply cant believe this.

                                                              I just slammed my fist on my desk here at work, and everyone took a glance over.
                                                              Can I just get a 2 game winning streak, just to know what it feels like, cuz I truly cant remember.
