    Gambling isn't even worth it anymore
    The rush isn't there and it's not worth it stressing over 20 year olds making chip shot fgs.

    Is this the first time you've lost on a missed field goal?

        sometimes you're better of coming to terms with the fact that you aren't very good at something. Post your plays before the games so the rest of us can know which teams not to bet on.

                Gambling hasn't really been worth it for quite some time. Books have taken away many of the more profitable angles. As soon as a book knows you're a winning bettor, they limit you. It hasn't been worth it for a long time.

                  What kind of edge do you think you had over the books today? Games were toss ups. Find better spots.

                    my thoughts exactly, a lot of these bowl games have been coin flips, which is why i haven't bet on most of them

                        If you have a way to be profitable you don't have to watch the game. You simply check the final score.

                            I don't necessarily agree with that I was 2-1 going into the Stanford game and had the over and Stanford ML. I was on the right side of 4 out of 5 plays today but only went 3-2. The value was there.

                            The real issue is if this guy is ready to hang it up after that FG, HE SHOULD!! This gig is not for you.

                            If your +EV that sh*t evens out in the long run. Time to try something else buddy

                                  Exactly!!U peak at the score here and there and don't bother with the outcome....u win great,u lose don't let it get to u as long as at the end of the week ur in the plus money.My opinion...bet very small,$1 bets get into the grove and start understanding line movements,teams,etc...and when ur in the plus money at the end of the week for a month straight then raise ur wagers to $2 and don't bet higher just because u think the game is solid...money management is very key to success and be very patient.

                                      Anymore sage advice? How about how to be a SBR professional poster:

                                      Steps
                                      1) Degen all your money away stiffing people in the process make some bullshit excuse and leave forum for approx. 2 days
                                      2) Make new handle being anonymous except for obsession with zeta
                                      3) Become SBR Pro on new account through referrals/zetamoney because you can't post up $200 normally
                                      4) Talk shit on forums promptly be discovered as Patty
                                      5) Be indignant about whole situation ignoring criticism
                                      6) Recant old ways and promise restitution
                                      7) Start posting some psuedo sharp advice on forums
                                      8) MLB/NBA/NHL/whatever Dog system
                                      9) Start hedge fund/ borrow money after losing streak
                                      10) Degen it all away chasing
                                      11) Repeat steps 1-10

                                          Mr.Market....do u actually watch the majority games u wager on?I certainly don't...yes,i do spend time looking for the correct games to wager on,but when that is accomplished...i place my wager and go on with my day.Like i said...peak at the score here and there but that's it...don't let wagering control your life.

                                                  i think there was a huge edge on the rose bowl over 72
                                                  the 2 teams were averaging 90 points combined

                                                  you're right though there are better opportunities on lesser followed games/sports

                                                    I am fairly sure that the OP is just a troll but if he is not he need to quit and seek professional help.

                                                          He didn't, Warriorfan posted his own log.

                                                          A little immaturity now and again is no bad thing anyway.

Proceed with caution and when you lose, consider the money spent as enjoyment. If you get nothing out of it whatsoever, then quit.
