I've lost 9 college games in a row since I won big on UNC against State.

Doesn't matter who I follow, if I just do research and take my own picks. Whatever. I can't win games. Lost 4 of those games by 1 point.

Got Villanova now. Looks like I'm going to get my 10th loss in a row. Cannot win.

Nice advice Longhorn....been there a few times myself.... Touchdown give yourself a week off with the Conference games and "The Madness" coming up and get re-charged for profitable finish...Good Luck on all of your plays the rest of the season

Thanks. Gets so frustrating. I feel like there are so many here that know more than I do. But whenever I decide to follow someone, they start losing. Then they either stop posting or take several days off.
Then it gets to where you don't want to fade anyone here, b/c you know that when you do, thats not going to work either.
And, then you feel like, well as soon as I stop playing for awhile, thats when people you follow are going to have huge days.

I do make some of my own picks, but my best sport is college football. So, with college basketball, I usually only make ACC picks on my own, and try to follow people here.
That last game, Nova....felt like it was too many points.

For what its worth, I like Maryland to cover 9 pts tonight. Prob. won't take anything though. Need a break, prob. until ncaa's.

Take some time off TJ, I'm sure the majority of us have been in that position at least once. I know I have. Hang in there, lot of hoops action in the next month or so.

man im in the same hole right now. Just wiped out my betting account in a matter of 2 weeks. You think how the hell could i honestly be dumb enough to lose a 50-50 shot this many times. The public is wrong. My new strategy is gonna be find the top 10 teams the public likes and go against all.

Well, I decided to follow a Duke fan's play for tonight. Wanted to get a nice hit and then see if I can play with that money. Yes, I'm a sick man, esp. for following a Duke man.

Anyway, took the ML Parlay that Lowell posted. UNC and Washington. If Wash. wins, I'll actually make money for the day.

It is amazing when you get into these streaks of losing.
I know nothing about Georgia State but someone here posted that they had thousands on it. Their entire bank. I decided to play big, since I had won big on UNC the night before. After they lost (after being up DD), I decided to try to get back a lot of it on Nova -3. They blew a big lead and won by 2 at the end.
So, I played regular after that. But everything I took just kept losing.
Really hope Wash gets the W tonight.

i am rooting for the unc fan to win money. damn maryland shooting 18-67 cost me a fat parlay by not going over in the second half. watch the score of cal-wash. you might want to hedge some at half and play cal.

Thanks, game is on tv and I'll be keeping an eye on it.
Felt like it was a good chance to get 1-2 odds and make a quick hit, but I also know how things like that can blow up, esp. when your desperate.
Fingers are crossed for a Wash win. How about a blowout so I don't have to sweat....
