    Yesterday Was My Worst Day in a Long Betting Career

    Don't usually play a lot of favorites or teases but I did yesterday and it KILLED me.

    Had the 49ers -7 (up 8 with ball, minutes to go, somebody calls a play with a lateral)
    Had the 49ers -1 in multiple teases (missed FG in OT). All the other teased plays won.
    Had Detroit teased to -1 (huge, up 12 with minutes to go)......already won with Jets - even
    Had Chicago -3 (up by 4 with 2 minutes to go, Seattle ball on own 4)
    Patriots -7- (late FG by Miami)
    Denver -8 (late FG to push by Tampa Bay)
    Jets -4- (win by 1, Jets have ball on AZ 1 yard line at game's end)

    Bad day, went full tilt (usually don't) and bet the night game. Big! Didn't have the courage to bet Philly so held my nose and bet Dallas -10-. They sucked the whole game but the gods smiled on me with 5 minutes to go with a 50 yard fumble TD return to go up 11. Thank you! 35 seconds to go Philly goes 96 yards on a punt return. Twilight Zone Ouch!!

    Every single dramatic move at the end of a game went against me. OUCH.

    It happens. At least one weekend every season. But I know this to be a fact for any serious gambler.........You get far more bad breaks than good ones. It does not even out, as they are wont to say. The Bookies get all the breaks! I do not know why, but it's true.

    Ya, I figured someone might have had a piece of all those.... I got killed on Jets, Pats and Lions as well.

    I could live with the Lions cause Luck actually made a really smart play on that last play, while the Dolphins and the Jets made fake over-thought smart plays to kill me.

    Shonn Greene and he really got down. Didn't see that coming at all. Dude was responsible for biggest loss of my career for not sliding in that AFC divisional game a few years ago when he should have.

    You got a bad number. It was 7.5 early Sunday and most of the week I think. Had TB and was pissed they didnt go for two. It was 31-16 with a few minutes left and then they scored a TD+XP. Youre lucky they didnt go for two and convert.

    But Shonn Greene did the right thing......regardless of who put a few bucks on them around the world.

    If he scampers in, then Arizona has 2:00 left and a chance to tie the game with a TD and 2 point convert. By Greene getting down, the game was over with 2 kneel downs!

    Bettors got cleaned out on Sunday

    I always laugh when the bookie says he had a bad day - I know he makes it up in a day or two

    It happens to all of us....maybe drop down to 1 or 2 games a weekend and see if that helps. I haven't had much time to carefully cap this year so I just played 1 or 2 totals a weekend and I've had a great year. If all the breaks go against you just take a few months off...happened to me last year. There is always some values with the bowl games.

    Maybe its time you stop picking your own plays and tail me. I'm 6-1 in the last week.

    You could also tail collin cowherd. Guy is picking 75% winners this year.

    Generally there are bad beats all overt the boards, they just dont all happen to you on the same day. I had one this year where every bad beat and late score hurt, this week it evened out as I was on the right side of every one of those bad beats. The way you win is to make sure you lost more when the bad beats hurt than you won when you were on the 'right' side.

    Thats why books win the always have an expectation that is positive. At least ones that do it 'right'.

    Not to rub it in...but I had Seattle +8 and they covered when Harbaugh declined a safety. Who declines a safety? I had KC/SD Over when 4th quarter Cassel fumbles in the endzone for a TD, pick 6 for a TD, and then a KC TD. All 3 are always long shots and they all hit. Sometimes all the breaks go in our favor...we just tend to chalk that up as great capping and don't remember them like the tough losses.

    Now, that was a horrible play. That's Pitt-Balt you are talking about there. Pitt already lost to them once this year and their backs were against the wall...Not always an open and shut case, but they are coached by Mike Tomlin to boot. Great Coach.

    49ers ****** me over on a ML parlay that would have payed 8 to 1... i feel your pain. I was damn near ready to punch a hole in my wall on that atrocious lateral/fumble play and I rarely ever lose my temper when gambling.

    Same thing happened to me on Sunday. Had a lot of things teased with -0.5 Ravens. This was the last game for the teasers and everything else hit. I felt that this was surely a lock with the Ravens at home playing against CHARLIE F**CKIN BATCH and the Steelers. That lost and cost me three teasers. Then I went on tilt for the night cap. Teased the Cowboys at -4. That hit, but the Lakers didn't even show up against the Magic and ruined that. Frustrating day indeed.
