I am still in a state of shock. The horrible coaching and breaks are unbelievable. I know Fletcher says the breaks always come back but not for me. I either win big or lose on some fluke shit. I never get the fluke breaks. For some they never come back. It was funny because I was sitting here watching the game with my buddy and it was 9-7 with a little over a minute left in the half. I told him they should try some draws and make sure they go into the half down 9-7 or with a few big runs possibly up 10-9. You throw every play and it is a possiblity you give the Rams the ball back. Just stupid coaching. The funny thing is I had the brownies +2.5 for the first half along with the under 21.5 in the first half for two units each. To top that off I had brownies +4.5 for 2 units and the brownies and the under for 2 units. Nice fuking luck. Two interception returns are you kidding me. Run the clock and be happy to go into half down 9-7. To top that off you have 3rd and 2 with 2 minutes left and go shotgun? Why not set up run and play action or run. They had plenty of time. It was funny I told my buddy these idiots would go shotgun before they ever did. Whatever, nothing like being on the rides side and some fluke shit destroys you. Where in the fuk is my interception return for the end of game for a winner:thefinger This shit just pisses me off. Sorry for the vent, but I am very pissed off and frustrated. I hate losing that way all the time and never winning that way. Oh well I guess that is why it is called gambling.

nothing wrong with the vent.

might be a bit of a stretch to say cleveland was the right side, but i do know what youre saying.

rams got the cover, but the game was won/lost in a 0:45 span of the 2nd quarter, and --you hate to say it because a team should lose as a team -- but holcomb completely responsible for flipping the game

rams did appear to be a step slow because of the weather and grass. bulger looked affected.

tough break. turnovers happen, but the way that gm changed in 0:45 was ridiculous

Not to be a jerk, but to imply that if Holcomb doesn't give up the 14 before the half that the Rams only score 3 in the second is far-fetched. Sure the TO's had a huge effect on the outcome - but what it did do was make the Rams complacent and leave the door open for Couch and his heroics. The Rams were taking over the game.... sure it was 9-7, but the Rams had been in the red zone 3 times.... if they had been forced to pay any attention in the 2nd half, I still think they cover.

I think you right the clowns were the bet. I'm the one one who lucked out with the over. Didn't matter gave it all back in the 2nd half over. Good luck on your future plays.

Also, it was too early in the 3rd quarter for the browns to go for 2 in my opinion. They had 11 minutes left in the 3rd and they should have kicked the extra point.....Hindsight is 20/20 though....

Ivabign you just never know, but if I hit the first half I lose nothing. I do not see how the rams were going to take off. You only get so many opproutinies in the red zone and if you do not cash in with td's you are in trouble. Hell with that logic the Falcons would have wiped them out last night. They were in the red zone 3 times in the first half. Whatever you can not predict what would have happened I agree. However, what happened in that second quarter was outright absurd and fluke in nature. Hey you won your bet good for you. You also had to sweat it out at the end and if not for a missed two pt you would not have covered. This should not happen when you get 17pts in a 90 second span. You should definitely blow the team out. Shoot I already figured I lost so it was no big deal. You had to sweat it out at the end. A good win for you. Good job. A winner is a winner no matter what

Not what I said Bobby.... what I said is the Rams play the 2nd half differently up 2pts as opposed to 16... can your cappin' expertise figger that out?

not a big fan of teasers lately, but (imo) this was the perfect game for one. 6 pt. teaser wins in any possible combination. Without it I'm on the Browns and just as pissed!

Browns were the RIGHT play but the right play doesn't always win. Browns coaching decisions were ridiculous and inexplicable at the end of the 2d half. Holcomb throwing into triple coverage was idiotic. Like the Rams ugly win over the Ravens on an earlier Monday. Despite 4 careless turnovers Browns lost the money by the narrowest of margins. Rams bettors made a BAD bet but got lucky. It happens.

Gotta move on to Week 15.

not to mention going for the two point conversion and missing it midway through the third. i had it too. my line was 5.5, therefore an extra point in that situation or the 2 point conversion would have covered the line. I wasn't even going to play the game until one of my close friends thought he got some info from vegas needing the clowns. sh-t happens.

"were the RIGHT play but the right play doesn't always win"

Ocelot, that is one of the more intelligent statements made of this forum recently.

So this being true and I know it is: How can one tell when to play 2 or 3 times as much on one RIGHT side vs another right side?

Ocelot this question is not intended for you, I bet you know the answer already. It is for the rest of the crowd.

:cool:
