Dollars2Donuts Daily NBA, NHL and NFL wagers

[buckle81]

don't write him off too soon, he's up a break in the 5th!

[Dollars2Donuts]

Wow.....RV up 5-3 and had a match point.....blew it. Then serving for the match.....blew it.

Now they are tied at 5-5 in the fifth set.....you can never give up that kind of lead....this match should have been over MULTIPLE TIMES. That tells me that we are screwed and RV will lose this.

EDIT: Then he gets to deuce on Anderson's serve....and boom, he is down a game and still on serve. Look for Anderson to end this here....

EDIT 2: Yep....total effing joke. Called it exactly how it happened.....the guy had control the whole way through and somehow the big monster came back on him to win....Anderson should have laid down and died at some point.....f him.

[Dollars2Donuts]

I don't seem to be getting any breaks here.....

At the Aussie Open we were winning all three of our matches.....then a 35 minute rain delay....

NOW we are getting hammered.....Stosur and Gasquet both gave up breaks immediately.....wtf is going on??

[Dollars2Donuts]

YES.....Stosur fell completely apart.....and just now Gasquet and Fognini were broken again.....I don't get it....everything looked so pretty, so perfect.

I have been whining like a little chick here today, but this is retarded.

[Dollars2Donuts]

LOL.....Gasquet, a clear favourite who was outplaying his opponent.....up 4-1 in the 3rd set.....gives up 5 straight games to lose and fall behind 2 sets to 1....and I laid some juice here....

My god.....everything looked amazing an hour ago.....

Goodnight everyone

[Dollars2Donuts]

I have not experienced this amount of frustration for a long time. I can go on and on (and I have) about tonight's luck.....but I won't anymore.

This will certainly not be the worst day ever.....not by a long shot, but I am finding myself too wrapped up in it today. Even a few weeks ago, on a losing day, my mood wouldn't even change....tonight/today I am just plain old frustrated and mad.....

I may need a day or two to get my head straight....

Enjoy the weekend guys

[twestacott]

So no plays this weekend Dollar?

[oldscho0led]

Rough day in tennis. Enjoy the weekend.

D2D - I am in the same boat and last night, I felt discouraged and I let it affect me and didn't even sleep well. That's a sign that you should take a couple days off. But I won't - but if I have to invest a couple hours researching today or tomorrow, won't do it. I have learned that the plays that come easily to me are the ones I most often hit.

[WhatALoser]

It happens to the best of us. You're good at handicapping and you'll turn the ship around in the right direction. Good handicappers always do. I usually never bet tennis or soccer except in crucial spots but tennis tricky. I was watching Wozniacki and McHale the other night on espn2 and I will never understand for the life of me how somebody can win 6-0 in the 1st set then proceed to get dumped 6-1 in the 2nd set, only to come back and destroy her opponent once again in the final set 6-2. Confusing.

[HockeyRocks]

My GOD, the Canucks are terrible. A 4 minute PP at the end of regulation and they got a total of 0 shots....and they couldn't even get their goalie out....that was embarrassing....

Is that a sign of a Tortarella coached team?

Good to see you back. I was on Bouchard as well, got a bit nervous after that first set laying so much juice...nice to see her wake up and crush the rest of the way.

[matthew919]

No offense by this, but neither of those Denver lines should count in your record tracked by H.E. (line was somewhere around -5.5 at time of post).

Be careful past-posting- if you want a line to count towards your record (or for people to be able to tail your plays) then they should either be posted immediately after playing them, or not at all. Otherwise, anyone could just past post all of their plays that crush the close (and none of the ones that don't) and look like a superstar. But anyway, congrats on getting a great line there, I think DEN wins this one handily as well.

[fishtot]

amen, my brother!

Just to let you know, Higher tracks my plays.....yes it makes it possible for people to track, etc. but in the end this is all about him tracking my plays and whether or not I am winning or losing.

In this case ALL wagers were posted when I made them....and this is quite normal, BUT there will be times where I am hoping for a line to change in my favour. In that instance I MAY NOT post a game when I make the bet as I do not want to influence said line in a negative way for myself.

I have done exactly this dozens of times ( post a game when the bet is made and then repost before game time to refresh everyone's memory or for wimple who missed it the first time.

Anyway....good luck today guys. I laid a ton of juice here on a large wager.....pretty rare.

Cheers

And Matt....as a quick side note....please be a little more tactful about how you come across when saying things like 'be careful' and 'this should not count towards your record' if you haven't looked into things properly. Thanks

[TheMLBKing]

betting against a 3 year trend? You gonna get buried.

[smarotta09]

think i might go huge on DENVER ML too.. so damn tempting

[Dollars2Donuts]

A well thought out post. Thanks for your contribution.

[TheMLBKing]

A well thought out post. Thanks for your contribution.

laying 5.5 points with an already depleted Denver defense makes your entire bet a little less than "well thought out"

Didn't see that you posted it earlier in the week- that's my bad, but you also didn't mention that it was a re-post, so... honest mistake on my part. Still, not sure how anyone could take offense to the tone of my original post. That last line of your response was pretty douchy IMO.

Anyway, I'll stay out of your thread from now on. GL d00d.

I agree. You were more than polite, my man.

[twestacott]

Wow Dollars...... lots of new experts available to criticize your picks and posts today. Nice of them all to offer their own picks while they were here. I just hope they have the balls to show their face again (specifically the guy commenting on how unwise it is to lay points on the Denver defense) if Peyton and Welker find a way to get their revenge on Brady and Bellichek and win by a couple of scores.

Didn't mean to offend you by what I said. Frankly, I took a similar line as you did in your first post. You seem more sensitive than is warranted here.

[Dollars2Donuts]

Quite funny.

Nice analysis of the game. I could as easily say 'you are an idiot, New England's offense is a mess' and leave it like that.

What a funny morning.....kind of wishing I hadn't bothered posting.

Just so you know Dollars there are some of us here that still appreciate you sharing your picks and I personally tailed you on the Denver spread but was lucky enough to get them by 4 points. I just didn't take the line because I think this one is closer than the line indicated and I wasnt comfortable with laying that much juice on this particular game.

[Dollars2Donuts]

A solid game, and a good win on our biggest bet of the year.

I hate SF so now I have to hope for a super close Seattle win.

GL everyone.

[Dollars2Donuts]

Rough night in tennis. Murray wins the first two sets in a total of 15 games and then he is up a break at 5-4 (he also had match points at 5-3) and he gets broken....to chalk up another loss for us.

[Dollars2Donuts]

You will see that I love the Genie Bouchard pick....and it is not ONLY because I am Canadian. She looks amazing, and I LOVE this spot.

Ivanovic is playing the best tennis I have ever seen her play, and this includes when she was #1 ranked in the world....but this is a short little sample size. After beating Serena she will be worried about this next match. Ivanovic always overthinks things, and all she is thinking right now is 'most of the top players are gone....if I am ever going to win another major it is going to be this week'. Unfortunately for her, her mind should work against her, especially against a young player with as much talent as this one. I cannot see her playing as well in this match as she did against for either Stosur or Serena, and even if she does, I do not see her beating up on Bouchard.

GL tonight everyone.

I am not even sure if there is anyone out there tailing anymore.....with an ROI of just under 3% I may have lost the Donut Army....

But if there is....I really hope you guys got on this match. I seriously had to hold back from betting more...especially when the ML moved to +250 right before the match....looks like a decent night all around....now go Berdych!!!!
