Anybody who backed up big SEC talk with money paid the price. I went 1-2 on that conference, but gawdamn the Georgia and Auburn games were a tough way to lose games I thought I had capped right.

I know it's tough to lose games like that buddy, I'm a little sick about tonight myself. It's consistency that makes or breaks you in gambling. I would say do whatever it is you have been doing and the breaks will even out. There was nothing wrong with your capping. It's just a very bad beat.Ironically I don't think the play that cost us Auburn backers was the 80 yard TD. With 6 min remaining Auburn had it 3rd and 1 at VT 30 yard line, and the RB for Auburn fumbled. That turned into the first touchdown and momentum. I've seen it a thousand times. Auburn was playing hard for the shut-out and when that was blown, it turned into a "Just hold on for the win" game plan. If the back doesn't fumble and picks up the first down Auburn probably scores again and keeps the shut-out in place and everyone on the forum is saying they (UA) deserves a National Championship. You know what, I still do. They weny undefeated in a very tough conference and won their Conference Championship game. They beat everyone they played. Just because they didn't cover a pointspread tonight means some gamblers lost some money. Keep your head up and kepp doing solid capping with smart money management andyou'll be standing when the smoke clears. Good Luck to you.

Yeah thanks, there are some good guys on here. Ive weathered worse in my betting lifetime, much worse, so Im not as upset as it may appear.

I bet less than I could because I know when the game is in the hands of an 18-year-old kid, a weasel referee waddling down the field or a 70-year-old coach who can't see the line of scrimmage no matter how thick his glasses are, then you better not have your house riding on it.

Yeah, Tennessee was the one team that played great.

Auburn was clearly a better team than VTech IMO, but limped home like Georgia. I do honestly get why coaches go so conservative, their careers can ride on it, and its up to the safety not to be dumb.

My worst beat this season was Utah giving up 14 points in 12 seconds in the last minute of the Wyoming game. 14 points in 12 seconds, lol
