Luckiest breaks, UNREAL!

yep i hate when i dont win out right so stressful

**FourLengthsClear** · 01-19-11, 11:14 PM

In the NBA -1100 should really only played in SBR ML contests.
That is waaaay too much chalk if you want to avoid stress.
Glad you cashed though.

**Love The Action** · 01-19-11, 11:21 PM

You cashed...what are you worried about LOL...congrats!

Seriously though, try not watching or following the games as they go on. If you want to review for capping purposes, watch replays or read over box scores, summaries, recaps, etc. Once I stopped following the games like an addict, a lot of the stress was reduced...until I find out a game loses LOL...good luck!

Yes, I had the under Philly/Orlando. You think that wasn't stressful?

I had Philly +9. The funny thing is I was saying to myself when it hit overtime (God, I am SO HAPPY I didn't play the total..lol)

Three team parlay

Hornets -170 - They trailed by 4 with 1:16 to go in regulation, they trailed by 4 with 29 seconds to go in overtime and they won by 1 point.

Magic -500 - They trailed by 5 with 28 seconds to go in regulation, they trailed by 1 with 1:59 to go in overtime and they won by 1 point.

Spurs -1100 - They trailed by 11 at halftime and they came back to win as expected but you can't be 100% sure a team down by double digits will come back to win.

Of course, all three teams trailed through most of the games. The Magic trailed by 7 at the end of the third, the Hornets trailed by 15 mid-way through the third, and I already mentioned the Spurs.

I used to think all this was fun but now it just feels like unbelievable stress that's gonna take years off my life. Anyone else feel that way?

It makes no sense to parlay -1100 , take it out and it pays close to the same thing.

I had a lucky break with Oklahoma St -5 tonight. Down 6 with like 1:30 and they drained a 3 with not much time left to send it to OT. Then in OT the Iowa St got a technical that basically sealed the game and they ended up winnin by 9.

**Nicky Santoro** · 01-20-11, 02:54 AM

believe me, it'll turn.. next week you'll come in here and say how unlucky you are because you blew 3, 16 pt leads in one night.. IT ALL EVENS OUT.

Last week, i was so lucky, i won a total of 16 games by a half pt, and most because of a meaningless foul with 1 sec to go.. i felt like the luckiest guy in the world.

In the last 6 days, i have lost a total of 9 games by a half pt, not including a few +5.5's, and Unders that went to OT, and i'd lose them both.

It all evens out at the end.

**stevex** · 01-20-11, 03:06 AM

Nicky has a good point. It ALL evens out in the end....

That's why I try to tell people, this isn't some get rich quick scheme.....

INVESTING is the word everyone on this forum needs to get implanted into there heads

**E-ftw** · 01-20-11, 03:14 AM

lol thats y i never watch any games just cap put it in and check if i was right later.....

**VTranX** · 01-20-11, 04:19 AM

Stress, presser, adrenalin and ultimately fortune...that's what makes gambling fun.

You are completely right, Nicky. No one is any more lucky than anyone else. I am just in one of those LOOOOOOONG stretches where I'm not getting any break. I guess that means I have a bunch coming my way!

HAHA I'm glad I can laugh about it now

**milwaukee mike** · 01-20-11, 04:55 PM

this nba season seems to have more games coming right down to it lately (moneyline/spread/total) than any other stretch i can remember
same with nhl, so many late goals lately

Yeah that hurt I had Iowa St +5 for 1x and had them teased with Texas for 1x and they end up losing by 9 in ot.
