I may have posted something similar to this in the past, can't remember. What are some teams that you simply just can't bet correctly no matter what and you either avoid those teams or, like me, are a glutton for punishment.

I've actually done a lot better this year and last avoiding certain teams, but I still get tempted every so often.

For me....

Syracuse Football--- My God...is there a worse program this decade? Between Paul Pascoloni and Greg Robinson. But doesn't matter which way I bet, I end up losing.

New England Football--- Weird team to bet on this decade and weird team in general. I've posted a lot and don't wish to rehash, but they are one of those teams that could play for the "big picture" and might lose to a crap team and it doesn't affect them, etc. Either way, however I bet...I lose.

Duke Basketball--- Just impossible to cap. They get so many little calls over the course of every game. They are well coached and play hard the whole game and can make up for lack of athleticism but they also hold and grab and don't get called for it. You just never know exactly how the game will be called, etc. Last night I took Michigan and lost by a point.

Those are the big 3 for me. USC football is kind of tough. That's about all I can think of right now, but those 3 have killed me for years.

West Virginia Football. How did they whip Oklahoma in the bowl last year. Then they have trouble with Syracuse at home. Lose to Cinn at home. Then they whip Auburn?

I get in trouble with the Ravens in fantasy football. Seems like McGahee is always available and he's so inconsistent. The bigger thing for me though is the Raven Defense.

Our system has defenses overvalued and I have such respect for Balt's D, and the last few years they are so hit/miss, its extremely frustrating.

Colts are another tough team to bet for me...

thought originally this was a listing of bad teams that stink and burn people constantly and never cover or win even in good situations....in light of that, here's a few of those first...
*oakland faiders
*detroit lions
*timberwolves
*knicks
*arizona state football.

personally, teams that havent been able to figure out it seems over the years..
*mac football/basketball (rely on spang).....
* nebraska football
*the lakers i agree with everyone, tough team to figure

Toronto Maple Leafs gave me major problems last year. Whatever I bet they would do the opposite. This year I just keep betting them to lose and it's paying off! They suck! ....Bad! :mj07:
