#492Why it happens I do not know, but it seems like every time a person makes a large wager outside of what they normally play, they lose. It is crazy, but it seems to happen more times than not, and I have walked in those shoes. I can feel your pain, but after a couple of days of feeling depressed, you will rebound, and come back strong.
Best of luck to you!
Example, but it happened to me: Last year on the Monday night football game between Baltimore and Jacksonville, I went for broke, betting my entire winnings from the weekend, and then some, ($8500.00 total bet) on Baltimore thinking there was no way they would not cover, and lo and behold, they ended up the first half with minus yardage, and I lost the bet on the game. Several other times last year I ended up betting quite a bit more than I normally do, and lost. It is crazy how it works.Comment -

#495I risked $4800......because the OP made this play seem guaranteed.....I left town last weekend for Seattle and watched USC and New England play the home teams and won 8 straight plays.....I come home a winner and blow it all on this fcuking play. It'll take me 3 years to make $5000 again.....Comment -

#496-3 1/2 UL Lafayette
Cajun Back Up QB>>> Cajuns Terrance Broadway completing 45-of-77 passes for 612 yards with four touchdowns and only one interception
The Write Up:
The first thing to look at is how efficient each team is when it comes to total yards and average scoring. North Texas averages 380 yards of offense each game, but only has an average score of 19.5. This means they are below average offensively and do not see the end zone very often. On the other hand, UL-Lafayette is at the median of college football YPG (yards per game), averaging 31 more than UNT, but they average twice as many points, at 38 a game. This means ULL is far more efficient at reaching the end zone than North Texas. Not only are they more efficient, but ULL averages 5.0 YPR (yards per run) while UNT gives up 5.2 YPR, which means the Ragin Cajuns will win the battle in the trenches and keep the pressure off their quarterback. Another factor to look at is turnovers. While both teams are on the positive side of turnovers this season, North Texas is only at +4, while UL-Lafayette is at +8. Once again, an underlooked statistic that ULL is twice as good as UNT in. While being evenly matched on paper, UL-Lafayette outscores their opponents on average 38-24, while UNT is outscored by their opponents on average 19-26. Also, ULL has won five years in a row against UNT, including three in a row in Denton, so home field advantage is a non-issue here.
While the betting public is looking at these two teams as being marginally equal and taking the home team getting points, a sharper bettor will look at the factors overlooked by the public and see the value that others do not see. When analyzed a little bit more, the sharp bet is clearly on the favorite here. Add in the fact that teams favored by 3 1/2 points in college football this season are hitting at 73% and this is a Tuesday night gift for the betting world.
ADDED SMALL BONUS; CAJUNS OVER 30pts for TEAM TOTAL
This looks like a copy and paste from some Vegas bookie's website, meant to lure in squares. A GIFT TO THE BETTING WORLD.Dead give away.

And a large percentage of the people betting this game had the exact same logic as the original poster. Trust me, you want to be in the minority. Look at covers consensus.... 68.3% of the people according to the consensus were on Lafayette.....Comment -

#511Actually we are near the same age. Wish I was young. I have learned to gather data and make informed decisions. Personally, I have made more money betting halftime lines than anything else. I don't have the patience to struggle through a whole game...I like watching the first half and betting the second...a lot of these guys that cap the game are very smart, don't get me wrong. I like to see where the momentum lies along with my own set of rules. I am not "sharp" and I have lost a lot too. I wish you well and believe me, you will forget this someday soon, thats how we ALL are. GL 2 U...Comment -

#518This moron bet his whole bankroll on a Tuesday night game and tries to blame the thread....Like i said before the game- as many others did too- that was an absolutely terrible write-up....essentially the write-up said take the team with the higher points per game average and they will win...wow....and this dude thought that was a convincing write-up??? wow....I wish sportsbetting was like poker and I could just play one-on-one against guys like thisComment -
