  • What's your worse bad stretch?

    I have been on a bad run of late.

    I play more plays for small amounts mostly for fun.

    But when it gets as bad as it is lately its bad. Every one point loss goes the other way. Every sure thing is the other teams blow out win.

    I know you win or lose your share of close ones but I have been about 1-25 in my last close ones.

    I am a anti public player so maybe the squares ate winning these days?

    I guess my question is how are you guys doing in the past 45 days?

    I was riding high with a nice winning % until the last 2-3 weeks. Something like 3-12 today on cash bets even though I went 3-2 in the Mock Hilton Contest, 1-0 in the GOW Contest and 5-5 in my Carib Contest. Go figure. Texans in teasers killed me.

    I feel like I knew exactly how one game was going to go and it does, but the other game goes completely opposite of my evaluation. How can you be a genius on one game and a dunce on the other?!

    You cannot win at this racket long term. Not if you have to pay 10% on your losing games.

    Think about picking 3 games a week at $100 a game.

    You go 2 outta 3 one week and you win $90. But lose 2 outta 3 the next week and you lose $120! Where do you think this is headed?

    You lose 30% more for a 1-2 than you win for a 2-1.

    Might as well just play the free contests for fun or the Carib Contest all year for a $200 entry or the LV Hilton Contest for a $1,500 entry if you are a higher roller. Otherwise, you will just bleed to death from the juice and the bad beats.

          I had a terrible start to this season probably one of my worst starts ever. I the last 45 days I have had one of my best streaks. Nobody is immune to bad runs.. WE ALL HAVE THEM.. When I have a really bad run I try and start the next week as if I am even for the year. I try and just win that weekend which is what I have done the last 45 days. That worked for me this time and usually has in the past. If I keep up with what I was down it usually gets worse. Try it.. You're pretty good at this and I think it will help..

            Also know your strengths and weakness.. My strengths are the SEC and college football in general. My weaknesses the NFL and too much beer..lol. I have the Sunday ticket and probably haven't watched 5 games through this year.

              One last thing Woodee..

              I noticed you said you made lots of smalls wagers. This is just my opinion. I got my balls busted by picking numerous games on Saturday night late. I do my best only picking one to three games at time. Far easier to manage your money. Bad thing was I put some rather large amounts on those games. Sorry for blabbing too much and I certainly don't have it all figured out, but this is what has worked for me.

              Take care Woodee!!

                I once went 1-21 in March years ago losing in the most bizarre scenarios. We all go through ups & downs just like the stock market. Sucks to lose those 1 point games, but at least you know you made a pick which was close instead of mine when I took Cleveland State on Sunday vs Akron. Keep the faith & the games will turn in your favor. Merry Christmas from a longtime follower.

                  1981-2012 has been a pretty brutal stretch

                      Has anyone thought of picking plays and then betting the opposite of your picks? I may hit 75% that way!
                      Took a few days off and came back strong at 0-3 so far tonight.
                      Here we go again!!!....

                          And yep that just happened Duke +7.5.
                          Interception return...wow I quit! First they fumble inside the 10 and then that.
                          That's why you don't bet on duke football!!
