Do You Feel Like A Dumbass When You Lose by 1/2 point in Basketball?

[pavyracer]

You spend 2 hrs capping games , you bet +9.5 and they lose by 10 on a dunk with 1 second left.

[boeing power]

Yes I do.

but I feel like a genius if I had the -9.5.

Funny how that works.

[BIGDAY]

I had the -9.5

Thing of Beauty.

[TheMoneyShot]

It's part of the game.

[SplitAces]

always buy that 1/2 pt. too many bad losses so now I won't let it happen.

[ChalkyDog]

Most the time I am just pissed at the world. Including my dumbass.

Fukk when that bullshit happens.

[eidolon]

I feel like a dumbass when I have a large free play and buy the point down to a whole number only for it to be a push/loss...

[easyliving]

happened to me twice today, would've been a big swing

[Smoke]

I'm banging a cougar so it doesnt really matter

[boeing power]

I'm banging a cougar so it doesnt really matter

[jjgold]

No

I don't spend more than five minutes keeping a game

Also plenty of basketball games come down to that half-point so you do not get upset

[romoney]

I always buy the hook..its not worth it to me in my opinion...just sayin..

[Microphone]

It's why I bet NHL, MLB and NFL, play ML sports for the most part. Basketball is the most corrupt, it has been proven time and time again. I only feel like a dumbass when I bet the sport.

U mean joe?

[vividjohn45]

I had phnx -8.5 today. Thought i had lost one. Phx badass team though.

[vividjohn45]

Paying more for a hook .10 cents hurts the bettor. In the long run. Ur win rate has to increase.

[vividjohn45]

Hell you can buy 5 pts for 2.40 more from betonline. Use it selectively and wisely. Usually the moneyline is cheaper by a large amount.

[vividjohn45]

Sorry i posted please dont warn me with a ban.

[jarvol]

I feel like a dumbass whenever I open one of your threads.

[oldscho0led]

like a dumbass...lost twice today by a hook on Mavs and Magic

[Mitchell88]

I don't feel like a dumbass (well kinda for watching the whole game) I get more pissed at the idiot who didn't run out the clock

[GoBlue77]

happened to me twice today, would've been a big swing

and that is why u always buy buy buy. especially a LARGE bet.

wow, after reading responses in here, why am i not surprised so many of you are losers

[jhack704]

yup I know the feeling

[d2bets]

Only if you had +9.5 when most everyone else had +10.5. Then yeah, that's gotta feel awful.

[RonPaul2008]

Only if you had +9.5 when most everyone else had +10.5. Then yeah, that's gotta feel awful.

Exactly, only when I missed out on a better line.

[Bill Dozer]

IMO the worst is betting the under or 2nd hlf under, nailing it, until someone buzzer beats a tie to go into OT. But like losing by a half point it goes the other way just as much. Only the losers leave the mark. You just have to remember that somehow

[yahoonino]

I had minesota +9.5 vs Michigan lost by half point,,,wtf

[PaperTrail07]

Was just betpoints...but yes yes I do

PARLAY (7 TEAMS)-- Should have had +10 [816] INDIANA +125 [822] CLEMSON -170 [830] VILLANOVA -10-110 [843] GEORGIA TECH +9½-110 [845] NEW MEXICO -6½-110 [847] TOTAL o133½-110 (STANFORD vrs ARIZONA) [849] OREGON ST. +13½-110

278.43 / 24953.26

Always buy the hook and the -120 juice

[RollinDo]

Always buy the hook and the -120 juice

I don't necessarily do that, but in a teaser, if both teams don't have the hook (not sure if I'm using this term correctly), like +6 and +4, I try to do a 5 point teaser instead of a 4.5 point teaser to avoid the small probabliity it will occur.
yeah - the worst thing is waiting too long or placing too early and miss out on the 1 point line move and then you lose by 1/2 point!

[KRIT]

I only feel dumb when it is NBA.

[Darkside Magick]

Losers buy points!!!!!

[jjgold]

Teasers are your friends in closely matched teams especially if totals are below 135 or so

listen to me

[manny24]

beaver ball even worse

[dawgs777]

ya bet feel like on top of the world when wiinning by1/2 a point. that fkn half point outcomesss hahahahah
