Without that ripoff I would've been up 2 units. But even with an instance of horrible luck, I only lost .3 unit. Basically I risked .3 unit to win 2 unit. Worst case scenario, I take a tiny loss; Best case scenario, I make a nice profit. Obviously my handicapping was accurate and I should've made the profit, but even with the bad luck, I only took a tiny loss. That is far superior to laying juice upwards of -500 in a 12-15 team parlay where if one bet loses, you lose ALL your profit.
So you can sit here and laugh at me all you want, but this loss actually proves that my strategy is better than yours more than a win would have. Also the fact that you admitted I lost due to a rip off, just goes to show that my capping was indeed accurate. You inadvertently admitted it.
