    "It all evens out"

    Please quit saying this dumb **** when you get a bad beat or get a lucky cover. It DOES NOT all even out. Just because you got a **** break on Troy doesn't mean you'll magically get a gift cover back on Washington State. Do you realize how dumb that sounds? Well, Troy was a heart-breaker but I know I'm gonna get a gift on a game coming up soon. Sure you will, you'll also have another bad beat. Just trying to educate some of our dumber posters

    How can you not be penetrating stressed when you lose EVERY game that comes down to the wire? I went 3-4 yesterday and I would make 6 of the same plays again. 3 games that I was covering for entire halves, up until 35 secs left in the whole game, etc. Things do NOT even out. If you get a ton of **** breaks early in the season and get behind the 8 ball, you will NOT recover more than likely

    Because you get used to it after you've done it for more than 5 minutes. You get pissed off for 10 minutes, go punch the bag, and move on. None of this involves rants on sbr every time you lose.

    Same with poker, sometimes you get to the bottom of the rabbit hole and realize the rabbit has the gun

    Either quit, or keep on keeping on

    No other choices

    You people have no clue. I MAKE these penetrating lines. I could put out these lines a day before the oddsmakers do and you'll see that my numbers are just as good as Ken Pom's or anyone elses. If you were getting the breaks I've been getting, you wouldn't even be on SBR anymore

    I hear ya, Was St fuked me saturday. They lead and we're covering the whole game until the last few minutes as they tanked, cost me a winning day. But honestly, if you are this pissed take this holiday week off, come back fresh. Emotional gambling is never going to turn out well. It's just going to make you force the issue until your both pissed and reloading.

    Gambling isn't going anywhere, it will still be here after some time off

    I can't afford to do that though. These numbers are gifts. I have the market so down pat that I can't justify taking time off to justify my mental health

    Bottom line is if you get too deep in the red regardless if you're a good handicapper it's very hard to get back to even because of the juice Because of the juice

    You will? You promise? Start off and do Wednesday's lines then. I'm sure you'll just use KenPom or something but you have my attention now. Everyone does NOT have a PR now. I guarantee you that less than 10% of the people posting in this thread have a legitimate power ratings system. Of those 10%, I bet over 75% of those set it and forget it instead of keeping track over the season

    It all evens out. You will not recognize the ones that go your way because you will think you were right all along. You only remember the bad beats. You are going to have horrific runs and you will have great runs. When you have a great run, you will think it is because of your genius or your numbers.

    If you come out negative in the end, it was not because it did not even out. It is because you weren't any good.

    just say we have a fair coin flip... but we put a vig on the sides

    say after multiple-millions of flips we would see the 'regression toward the mean' of the actual heads v. tails many many times

    However... our bankroll would be severely depleted at the end of the multiple-millions of flips

    Absolutely false but I keep track of all my plays, when I get bad beats and good beats. The good beats I can count on one hand easily. The bad beats I def cannot.

    Yes, no problem.

    Didn't say on here. This is mostly 24yo's betting 10 bucks a play and 44yo's air betting.

    Actually smoke a bowl and fukk off, I'll post my notes from yesterday.
    #'s I use are written down.

    Blue is better.
    Yellow is about right.
    Orange is bad.

    Now like I said, fukk off. Every real bettor has one in 2016.

    You might have had some bad luck. It is completely ridiculous to say that it does not even out. Obviously, it does. Doubtful you count the good beats in the same way you do the bad ones. Too say it does not even out is pure ignorance.

    Why would I not grade them fairly? It's in my best interest to do so
