You know:
The line-changing alone, can drive some people crazy. Add that into a loss I had on Tampa-1 yesterday...good for only 1 minute in the late stages of the game..and with a kickoff going to Washington with 1:19 left, I made a near-fatal mistake for any gambler. I counted my money before it came to fruition. Lost by 2 on a fg with 3 seconds left.
And for that loss, and for the absolute way it lost, should tell a gambling man something?
Throw in the Akron loss Saturday for good measure, where I have some nice size bucks on Akron -1/2 point for the second half line--down 7 at halftime at 35/28, I have a one point lead, 49/48 with a minute left in the game, the computer says. I'm still good, because I have some backups left if Miami does hit a late fg and wins by 2, and I still cash in the halftime wager.
Okay, maybe the freakiest loss of a lifetime transpires! Miami, doesn't try a fg, they score a td with seconds left, which is bad, but like I said, I have some backups. Yes, it will be a uglier than hell, loss, but losing by 6 still lets me win some bucks. It means I still win my halftime wagers, so I am going to emerge a winner after all. So a score of 55/49 will still mean a nice payoff.
No. Miami, for "some reason," goes for the two-point conversion. Making it an unbelievable 8 pointer with seconds to go. Final, Miami 56/Akron 49. I get the most illogical score possible! No 51/49, no 55/49, only the killer score, 56/49.
I lose on almost all fronts. I was a passenger on the Titanic for the long ride down to the icy depths of despair.
When this happens to you, you know it's time for a break....a long break!
*Please, anyone who can beat this near death dealing loss, honestly, gets 25 points.
We may have to have an opinion poll on the winning "killer" loss?
