    Luckiest breaks, UNREAL!

    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?

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    same with nhl, so many late goals lately
