The Red Wings are killing me!

If Detroit had closed it out and St. Louis had done the same it had the makings of a great night. Both leading in the third.....literally, if my teams don't win 6-0 or by 25 points in the NBA, I am losing them all right at the end. I know it is variance, and that it can swing either way.....but this just feels gross. Every close game, the wrong team seems to tie it late and win in OT, SO or with a minute left.
God I hate whiners (me....clearly me)Comment -
Such bullshitComment -

Yep....Red Wings up 2-0 in the third period in Florida.....in FLORIDA....and they lose. Lose a 2 goal lead in the third twice in the last week for me.
Honestly....that's a HUGE swing and makes me 0-10 in my last 10 games with late action to decide the game one way or the other. And almost all of these (8 of them) were games where I was ahead in the third period.
I have never seen a week like this in the NHL.
And with St Loo giving up the lead, Phoenix and Edmonton going up 3-1....what looked like a huge night an hour ago is looking like total and utter crap.
It is times like this that hurt so damn much.Comment -
Funny....because of some tough losses it feels a lot worse than it is. Actually up 6.something units and even if we lose the last three open games (two look terrible) we will still eek out a profit, and if the Lakers can win it will be an ok day. The Red Wings are going to be a no play for me for a while....Florida and Columbus are my nemesis.Comment -
The minute the Red Wings become a no-play for you, they will go on a win-streak.. Just the luck of the game manOriginally posted by Dollars2DonutsComment -
To me it seems that when the faves are leading the whole game, they blow the lead late and lose in OT. But when the dogs have the lead, they never look back and win easily. Idk, I could be wrong, but alot of my losses that seems to happen. My wins are very rarely come from behind. I think the books are cashing big this past week. It will turn in our favor soon....if we still have bankrolls

Lol, as soon as I posted that Phoenix went on a 32-11 run against the Lakers. Oh well.Comment -
You are bang on. ALmost every sharp I know right now is getting his ass handed to him in the NBA and the NHL. to have 4 consecutive days where I didn`t lose my shirt should be considered a victory I guess.Originally posted by slam77To me it seems that when the faves are leading the whole game, they blow the lead late and lose in OT.

Hey D2D idk maybe you missed this never answered its ok if you want to pass.Originally posted by GizComment -
Have you heard of the Costanza maneuver? After doing a bit of back testing I've found that fading your NHL picks would have earned me close to a grand in the last few weeks. Keeping my eyes on this thread.Originally posted by Dollars2Donuts

Lol, and it would have lost you $20 grand over the last year. Continue to fade if you like, but you will even notice that if you had played ALL of my NHL games, since I started posting again 11 days ago, you would be up....including juice. Never said that anyone should follow me....just posting my plays.Originally posted by chris86Have you heard of the Costanza maneuver?

Good luck to you (who ever's ghost you are)

And another rough finish...lol. I thought for once we were going to get luck when Carolina came back from 4-1 down to tie it....but alas, EDM in OT....yikes.
Still, a very small positive for the day, and we are up about 8 units for the last 4 days....and we have lost every darn close game. One of these days things will go our way again and we will start to crush.
Cheers and GN boysComment -
Hang in there bud. I'm on break since college FB & BB and NBA is killing me now. These last 2 weeks have been kicking my ass.Comment -

I only tailed the games that you were putting a bit more money on and did well for the night.Comment -
So what are you on the year?Comment -
Killed me too...my only ML play last night and they blow it!Originally posted by cburland10
My last 3/4 nhl losses have been OT shootouts in which the team I picked were leading in the 3rd period!Comment -
You would need to do a search and look back to my thread from last year. After the NBA and NHL seasons ended I dabbled in MLB for a while, before deciding to wrap it up and wait for the winter again.Originally posted by BallerholicComment -

Oh, and PS.....I don't think that teasers should be included in my record, but I will leave that up to HE.

I track what you play. If you play a teaser, then it is tracked. I prefer to keep it simple in this regard.
GL tonight!Comment -
Ok, then it will mean one of two things....I only play two game teasers OR I just keep them to myself. Teasers/parlays/etc. will just skew results, and it is probably best that doesn't happen.Originally posted by High3rEl3m3nt
GL tonight everyone.Comment -
hey bud, if u have time...can you break down my spreadsheet? I wanna know what teams bring me the most money. I like that little table that you've made, that shows units made per each team.Originally posted by High3rEl3m3ntComment -
Yes, I believe I can do that without too much trouble. Your SBR spreadsheet?Originally posted by Russian RocketComment -
I personally never minded seeing teasers in the official record. I just see them as another bet that you either win or lose. The in-game plays is the one I always wondered about. The idea of the record (least for me) is to see how well someone else would do or how much they would have lost if they followed you. (kind of like a stock report). Live plays are nearly impossible to follow. Time person sees it, they are mostly gone and if not, odds are nothing compared to what they was when made. I always felt they should be put in a special category or something.Originally posted by Dollars2DonutsComment -
you seeing a blackhawks upset tonight? or just liking the other 2 on the nhl board tonight better?Comment -
Yea don't get why you don't want teasers in you're record, they're picks with odds. Just another parlay really. I guess it doesn't tell you how you do against the spread itself, but then neither do moneyline picks. And it tells you how much money you made or lost on the teaser...Comment -
yup http://russianrocket.mysbrforum.com/spreadsheet/Originally posted by High3rEl3m3nt
the 1st month is all soccer I believe...you can skip that...I'm only interested in hockey.
thanks bud!

Element seems to be keeping a record of D2D's ATS record, teasers fall not into this catagory nor can you count them as one bet & have it correctly corrispond to the overall record.
Yeah it's one bet but, they're 3 seperate outcomes with 3 different lines.
You can still calculate ROI correctly so, either way I guess it doesn't matter.Comment -
He's not tracking just ATS, he's also tracking ML bets. Just today there are 2 -130 ML bets. If a +157 bet shouldn't count because it's not a 50% bet then neither should all those fav's MLs. What matters in the end is the ROI.Comment -

Really nice night for you. Good job on the earnings. Hoping that Pistons can pull it out for you in OT. BOLComment -
Def want to see your teaser's D2D? Jus leave them out, Higher Element. If he doesnt want them to affect his record, then they shouldn't. It's not like that's his bread and butter, this is the first one he's thrown in since his return. Would hate to not be privy of this information because of something so petty.Comment
