I'm 0-3 right now with two of those being 3X no problem lock of the day
110% or your money back can't lose bet your last dollar in the Moneyball
good for last place think I'll let a monkey make my next bet contest.
What a bunch of crap.
Bet over on SA/Minny game and the idiots can't make one basket in the
last 2 1/2 minutes. (I did need three baskets, but what the hey!)
Still having fun, and there's always next week, right?

[jazz]

I thought I was the only one. hang in there

[statnerds]

Just with NBA, NCAA and NHL, there were 33 games, which means 66 possible plays. So 8 out of 66.

None of them are my personal picks.

This thread should help people understand 2 things:

1. Money management is vital

2. Variance is inevitable

[jjgold]

This time of year does every gambler in

I have said this 50x!!!

There are too many games to bet now

Back off and just spot bet

[Vaughany]

That is quite an impressive fail! perhaps betting isnt for u Sir!

[peppy1996]

Sounds like an average day for me.

[statnerds]

Two things right quick

23 plays today, with the possibility of one or two more

That 0-8 run dropped my record to 245-223 since 12/1/10.

I'll let you know how long the streak gets.

you believe this guy???

[statnerds]

Lost the first 4. That would be an 0-12 streak. Been there and done that. 3-3 after that. 3-15 is not good.

And will be another losing night. 3-7 already.

MY LAST FRIDAY.. I TRIED TO BAIL OUT WITH PHEONIX,, AND GOT SLAMMED THERE TOO.

[rick50time]

ditto not the best here either comrad..

[statnerds]

so hard to come back after that bad run that is why sports is impossible to beat

Stater your betting for the rush

I'm betting to make $$$$$

C'mon Gold you know the score after so many years in this game. Good streaks, bad streaks.

Finished 9-12-2 last night. Lost 2 games by a half point each, nice. So starting to turn around already. 0-12 followed by 9-8-2.

[statnerds]

And then it turns around completely.

Went 11-3 last night including my favorite, a middle on the NC/V Tech game. Getting 5.5 with Tech up 7 at the half. Took NC -5 2nd Half. That worked out well.

Still down cause of the 0-12 streak.

20-23-2 since the 11th.

Still trying to drive home the point that variance happens, bad streaks happen, you will have runs when it feels like you cannot win a bet. But if you are level-headed, don't chase or double down and employ some basic, conservative money management skills, you will survive them.

[WileOut]

Went 11-3 last night including my favorite, a middle on the NC/V Tech game. Getting 5.5 with Tech up 7 at the half. Took NC -5 2nd Half. That worked out well.

That's not a middle. Those are 2 independent bets that should be evaluated separately to see if they are +EV. A middle is when you take both sides of the same proposition. Like both sides of a full game, both sides of one (same) half, etc. You get a number, the line changes and then you take the other side with another number that leaves you with a chance to hit the middle part. If SA is playing Dallas and it opens SA -4, you take that, then it moves to Dallas +7 and you take that too. You hit the middle on SA by 5 or 6. SA by 4 or 7 pushes. You only risk the juice of the side that loses.

Halftime mixed with full game bets are not middling because they are 2 separate bets.

I have never hit a middle in my life and probably never will
