    Heartache teaser

    Seems like this kind of thing always happens, doesn't it?
    Played a 9-team teaser at BetJ, with the following teams:
    Cards +10.5
    Bucs -5.5
    Jets +28
    Cheifs +10.5
    Browns +1.5
    Raiders +17.5
    Chargers -3
    Vikes -3 (pending)
    Ravens +3.5
    I didnt' really expect to hit it, but what a horrible way to lose on Baltimore. Stover misses a 44 yardfield goal in OT, then they give up a 64 yard bomb. At the end of reg, they were down 16-13 w/ 4th & goal at the 1/2 yard line, & the coach didn't have the nuts to go for it. Would have won the bet either way, if he did. Makes me want to quit sports betting, really. Always seems like you get screwed, one way or another...

    Tough break man. I'd just stay away from the big multi-teamers, if you feel the urge to tease just tease two or three teams at most, more realistic and the losses don't sting as bad.

    Another reason is you'd have went 5-3 just betting them straight up, going into tomorrows game, which is a good weekend. Hang in there.

    haha. Here I was crying about Gibbs going for 2 up 22-3 in the 3Q. It totally screwed up my 3Q bet on the Skins +1/2.

    I had the Dolphins +3 1/2, so I kinda know your agony at the end. I just wanted the game to end one way or another. I really didn't give a rip who won. I was rooting for the Stover FG at the end, because I never knew whether the Ravens might get a pick 6 or score 6 on the next possession.

    Welcome to sports betting insanity.
