    Kick Me When I'm Down!
    Come on everyone, kick me while I'm down!

    I've lost 11 of my last 12 picks and 13 of my last 15.

    I feel like complete shit. I spend hours a day reading information and statistics on these players, getting to know every batting order, pitching staff, and bullpen from top to bottom. I'm a passionate sports fan and I love handicapping, which is exactly why I was pursuing a job in this field.

    Times like this, I have no love for sports or handicapping. Hate them both in fact.

    Makes me realize how far away I am from actually being a halfway-decent capper, makes me realize that no matter how many hours I pour into trying to improve my craft, its all for nothing.

    Meanwhile my favorite team's biggest rival looks to potenentially be well on their way to a 2nd Stanley Cup, and my other favorite team had a terribly shitty draft, leaving me with even less reason then usual to be excited about another 4-12 season.

    I'll save you the trouble of starting your own thread. I'm already completely down, have zero faith in my handicapping, and the entire world of sports does nothing but annoy me right now.

    By all means, now's the time to tell me what a loser I am! Normally I'm just amused by the ribbing and the insults, but when I'm actually feeling a little vulnerable for a change, you have the chance to hit me below the belt when it can actually hurt. Make your day!

            Davey, you shouldn't feel bad about yourself at all. None of this can be helped since Nicky jinxed you. The downhill slide was inevitable once that happened.

              Stats don't matter. The players don't matter.This is a numbers game.

                  The Nicky Santoro Curse


                  next time, don't give me an infraction. i warned you about this that you would never win again if you did this, and you didn't beileve me..


                  and btw, keep studying those batting orders, those stats.. i told you a million times.. the more you know, the less successful you are..throw all those stats in the garbage, they don't help you the least bit.. if anything, they hurt you..

                      Nicky made this video last summer

                      Throw your lineups, pitching numbers, weather, day of the week, zodiac signs, etc. out the window. It's all factored into the lines already.

                      Get a good number and you will win. Read all of Justin7 posts on baseball, the guy keeps talking about trying to beat the closing number....

                                        Dave him wishing your demise will not make it happen. Unless, of course the nicky santoro jinx is in affect.
                                        How did broke lenders know that game was going over 9.5? How'd he know?

                                                  it ONLY works when i get mad at someone and pray the lose.. not if i ask the gambling gods to have someone win money..

                                                  this curse is very evil, and very heartless. when it makes you lose, you lose lose lose like there's no tomorrow..

                                                  if i were dave, i'd honestly quit gambling. i already told him to quit 3 weeks ago.. he didn't believe me..

                                                      I've lost 11 of my last 12 picks and 13 of my last 15.

                                                      I feel like complete shit. I spend hours a day reading information and statistics on these players, getting to know every batting order, pitching staff, and bullpen from top to bottom. I'm a passionate sports fan and I love handicapping, which is exactly why I was pursuing a job in this field.

                                                      Times like this, I have no love for sports or handicapping. Hate them both in fact.

                                                      Makes me realize how far away I am from actually being a halfway-decent capper, makes me realize that no matter how many hours I pour into trying to improve my craft, its all for nothing.

                                                      Meanwhile my favorite team's biggest rival looks to potenentially be well on their way to a 2nd Stanley Cup, and my other favorite team had a terribly shitty draft, leaving me with even less reason then usual to be excited about another 4-12 season.

                                                      I'll save you the trouble of starting your own thread. I'm already completely down, have zero faith in my handicapping, and the entire world of sports does nothing but annoy me right now.

                                                      By all means, now's the time to tell me what a loser I am! Normally I'm just amused by the ribbing and the insults, but when I'm actually feeling a little vulnerable for a change, you have the chance to hit me below the belt when it can actually hurt. Make your day!
                                                      ill just email you my baseball picks daily i hit about 60% and no im not acting like im a great baseball bettor this is equivalent to 52 or 53% at -110, take good pitchers on good teams vs slumping teams with non established pitchers, as with volquez today saunders yesterday and zambrano the day before! 3-0 best bet thread

                                                          no, just till sept, then i remove the hex.. i am not that cruel.. i just want to teach him a lesson for giving me that infraction.. watch how he starts to do good again once spell is removed..

                                                          this curse is no laughing matter and should be taken very seriously..

                                                            I was gonna come in here, come to VD's defense, ask Nicky to maybe try to remove the curse, say something like common, the kid's had enough. I'm a seasoned gambler, figure maybe I could put in a few words to help out a little in some way. But no way. I am terrified of the Nicky curse. Actually, I feel a little iffy participating in this thread at all. If someone has the power to curse, and has cursed someone, it's usually best just to stay away. I feel like I am playing with fire just by addressing the topic.

                                                            VD I feel for you. Just remember, you are NOT a 1-12 capper. The worst you can legitimately be is 50/50. If you are legitimately worse than that, then it means you are seeing something real, just using the wrong plus/minus sign. Just ask Justin7. Even if you were a bona fide 47% capper, people would throw millions at you for your picks. But honestly, I don't think your record since the curse has anything to do with anything other than the curse. The WORST thing a gambler can be is cursed. I would rather have to use a Martingale-based money management system than have to gamble under a curse. Wow, this is serious.

It's like quicksand, and it is very dangerous and scary. The more you try to force it away, the stronger it becomes stuck to you. But again, I am no expert in these matters, I have just observed over the years.
