looking to complete the trifecta of losers

[gjn23]

road dog (col state by 1/2 and lasalle by a ton)

home fav (neb trailed for 35 straight mins)

road fav (utah, wins by 3 of less or loses outright)


guess i could call it a superfecta if i go back to last night with:

home dog (minn)

this is starting to get sickening....never been this bad in college hoops as always thought this was the easiest sport to win money at.

:shrug:

stick with it my man. conference tournament time is one of the best times to make money. this can be a tough time of year (final weeks of regular season for hoops). a lot of teams are locked into tourney seedings, whereas a handful are playing just to get into the conference tourney, or secure a home game, etc. so more crazy shit happens because some teams just lose focus in the middle of a game or get desperate and rally when they look to be left for dead just minutes earlier. it can certainly be frustrating. trust your stuff and keep at it. not trying to sound trite and cliche-ish. but there is still a lot of basketball left. and the games do get easier from here because, for the most part, everyone will be back on a level playing field soon and have the same at stake.

and there it is......seemingly another game where the line was low and i was never covering

disagree with what you say....think that it just gets harder in march as there become less games, the lines get much tighter and betting options become limited (similar to betting bowl games or nfl playoffs where it becomes a coin flip)

 

[gman2]

just trying to offer some encouragement.
betting options are plentiful during conference tourney time and theres a ton of money to be made. right now i think you're mind fu.cking yourself.

 

[gjn23]

probably right but almost every night has been a financially losing night for 3 weeks and losing 23-24 2 team parlays still amazes me

i do like conf tourneys and round 1 of ncaa, but after that its just coin flipping

jmo...

betting parlays is a mistake...

and alot of the games you post seems you are falling for the sucker lines, especially those short raod favorites, a big money loser especially this time of the year....or a team like nebraska that is such a short home fave against a bad team it is too good to be true..and often it is...

and you play games all over the place...how many times have you even watched TCU ....stick with what you know....just because the day ends in Y doesnt mean there are 5 games that have to be played......

Not trying to be critical. We all have bad streaks. Bad cappers have good streaks too. Seems to me you need to take a step back and reevaluate how you play.

And I agree with GMan... this is either the best or second best time to make money in any sport...I like very early college hoops better, when folks THINK they know who the good and bad teams are, but dont, and the lines are joke....

if you tailed me on colorado state sorry... i had this game pegged going into 2h and rams never came out of locker room.

tomorrow is west coast day, we'll find some winners between the 2 of us!

 

[gjn23]

agree

way too many games right now

also strongly agree that occ high profile games in nov-dec are easier to bet than now because lines and teams are based on pre-conceived notions not how good-bad the teams actually are......made tons of money betting on az early in early season tourneys when the experts think they are going to be "down"

as for parlays....they are usually not good bets and i think it's been years since i made a three teamer and only make 2 teamers on occassion.....a bit more so now than usual and with my near 500 record the teasers are killing me
