    I should have left it alone

    I had mavs +8 live and at the end when they went cold I took Blazers -7.5 to get out of it. Within minutes mavs go on a run and cut it to 3. Oh well.

    Live betting is great if you think you've found an angle, but you have to stick to your guns. I've hedged two times over before on live bets.

    This was the first time I have hedged. It was stupid to because Im on the luckiest last minute NBA stretch ever. I just didnt want to give away todays profit on a dumb late night live bet. It didnt look good for a minute. Oh well. Still a nice day.

    I did the same damn thing in the tourney, grabbed Butler at I think it was 12 then later I wussed out and hedged with Florida at like 4, basically wasn't a total hedge because I was trying to middle, but ended up a wash and ruining the great, earlier Butler play because they won outright. Fkn live betting will drive you crazy at times.

    It definitely isn't a benefit to over-thinkers.

    Im an over thinker but Im also a gambler. Im usually pretty good at riding it out. Thats the fun to me. The capitals last night was ******* amazing. Im really pissed I didnt ride out the mavs the way they were shooting but they looked hopeless for a few minutes. When I i finally took the other side to lose juice the mavs missed two in a row and I felt like a genius. Then they cut it to three

    Come on, the Blazers never blow teams out. You should know this. If they win, they win by like 4,5,6 points tops. As the Mavs were 5 point dogs, tonight was a great opportunity to tease the Mavs to +11 (had 1050 on this). The Blazers never beat teams by double digits, especially playoff teams
