Why sports betting isn't profitable long term....

CMU +.5 for 2H against Toledo(down 20 at half).

With 40 seconds to go, CMU has the ball down 16, and Keene gets called for an offensive foul. Gets a technical, Toledo hits both FTs. Then hits a 3pointer. Clock runs out, CMU loses by 21.

This shit is a joke.

That's pretty ridiculous right there......sometimes I can't even watch the games would rather get score updates instead because of BS like that. Betting on sports has ruined my love for watching games I have to say kinda sucks, but if I got nothing riding on it it's all good

I'm sitting here watching, thinking it was in the bag. CMU has the ball, I figure worst case CMU doesn't sore and Toledo gets a bucket. CMU doesn't score, Toledo runs clock out(like it has happened to me 3,000 other times). Instead, the betting gods shit on me :142smilie

CM was +.5 2H, they were down 20 at half and lost by 21

 

[IX_Bender]

that's correct

had same bet +20'


down 18 some big 7 ft lug hits a 3 with 10 seconds left,

then of course CMU tries a 3 instead of pushing for a gimme layup


the pre tip spread was 8, so no funny biz , but this one stunk.

Not true by a long shot If it were Books wdnt limit your bets and ban people. Lke any thing else in life the pool of people that aproach excellenece in any thing is extremely small....

College officiating is the worst. They call foul for everything

Thanks for reiterating my point.

I've probably lost out on at least 6k in the last week on buzzer beaters or brutal beats.

Add - Basketball - 857 Brooklyn Nets/Denver Nuggets U 121 -110 for 2nd Half for another beat. 62 points scored in the 4th Q of a blowout...2pts scored with .4 seconds left. Some kat from the Nets had to make sure he got his 2 points ya know.

I lost an in-game Nets Team Total bet because of the Nets 4Q scoring fest. The Nets needed to stay under 107.5 but I lost because of that meaningless basket. Ugh. At least you pushed?

I went 4 wins and 13 losses today. From the 13 losses, 5 of them were by 1.5 points or less (including the above loss). Still, I'm only down 1.25 units for the day so not too bad a day. Needless to say, my wins were 5u plays and losses were 1u/2u plays.

The defense that was played in that 4th Q was a joke. Neither team contested anything at the rim and guys were just playing park street ball. Thank god I pushed, but neither of us should've been in that position.

It's crazy that I'm complaining because I've actually been running hot. I've maybe won 3 games in 2 weeks in dramatic fashion. I've easily lost 10+ I lost 3 college games 1H unders last Saturday on the last second of the 1H on prayer 3 pointers :00hour

I gotta second this notion or comment of Hudson's. I have a hard time even watching sporting events other then the kids games without having some kind of action on it. Then I start watching and things go sour, so now I'm jinxing it. I just place the bets now, and check it out later in the day. I love to gamble, about 25 years doing it. I've really only had about 4 or 5 losing years. You have to use or build some kind of system to make it work.

WHEN DOES IT STOP?!!?!?!

Duke pk for the 1st half, got the last shot up 1 and fucking turn it over and give up a layup.:facepalm:

Had the U and must admit that was lucky as hell !

 

[ClevelandSteamers]

Hell, I'm glad someone lucked out on that. I've taken 3 epic brutal beats and not 1 good story to show for it.

TDW, only 3% of the gambling public, legal or illegal actually win year in and year out before the computer programs etc., now it's like 4-5% of the public wins at better numbers. Only a 1-2% increase even with today's technology?

If you have a system and it proves to make money over the long haul, stick with it but don't get complacent, as yours truly has done, because the system that may be doing well early may take a turn in the wrong direction (boy does that hit me in the nuts). Make adjustments with team's injuries at key positions, coaching changes etc., if you don't stay on top of it as well as gathering as much info on any of your teams you wager on, it can cost you.

Watching the games, can drive ya nutso!!

Bad beats added to ESPN, SVP show, is now growing on other networks and online sports betting talk shows as well.

To stay sane, find what works for ya and if you can tolerate it all, you will endure, fail to make adjustments and a long bad streak can occur.

Hang in there!!
