How do you blow that cover? Up 6 with 1:20 to go! :facepalm:

up 6
laying 2
1:20 to go

that's nothing

up 3
laying 2
shooting 2 ft's
5 seconds to go

and they didnt cover

add to that the 3 turnovers they had in the last 80seconds when ill had to foul and the ass clowns from ill making 3 or 4 threes in the last 80 secs

Totally agree, always get screwed by the pointless 3 at the end, oh well onto the next game. Good luck today

they must be the most embarrasing assholes playing defense in the last minute ...it's unbelievable they played a good def all game and gone down like this:facepalm: ...finally they wanted the win not the cover right?

tough loss guys, the crazy point buyer & ML player (me) cashed his ticket, but seriously if a loss hurts this bad you might be stretching your play size a little large?

2% 3% maybe 4% of your commited bankroll, anything more and a tough loss makes you cuss, puke, or break things right?

I know this sounds like I am being critical but stop and think about it:nono:

just sayin....:shrug:

I KNOW it is easy to say I did this and that after the game is over.

MY PURPOSE in posting was not to brag about hitting the money line, my purpose was to discuss the level of frustration I observed with this close loss and the fact that some had overbet the game, the over playing and lack of money management :nono:

I worked today start time 8 AM, here is my cut and paste of my wager and time placed, did not have time to post. How many would have followed if I did post?

Quite frankly I was tagging KCWOLF on this play and knowing how close big ten games can be, wanted to be a winner IF NW won, I PLAYED two of his early starts because I did not get off until 2 PM

They were NW -1 & BC+2, I also thought that 125 was TOO low for the Xavier game, so I got home with a nice 3-0 start on the day:0074

NOTICE THE 7:23AM play input time.:0008

just to say a word or two...no interest on rebuttals or anything... take this as what i have to cope with....the book here doesn't carry ML bets and you can't buy points ( shitty Caliente here in Mexico) also i play parlays , not one team plays and i usually hit one outta three at worst as i look for VALUE PLAYS and found this one to be a REALLY GOOD PLAY ( it was ) ...but it's so fucking unbelievable to lose this way in the last shot when after three errors by NW in the last minute, three 3 pointers by Illinois last one when the basket meant nothing to the game and NW didn't contend it ...sure makes us wanna puke and if you haven't had this feeling then you haven't lost time-consuming hours to find these game opportunities go down the drain by a stupid last second lucky shot
