Creighton (–10) Push ... better than a loss. *sigh*
For the benefit of the online betting newbies, I'll relate this story.
I had bought the hook with Portland down from –9.5 to –9.0, but after I had clicked "Place Bets", the site advised me that the odds had changed and for me to check 'em, but I just went ahead and placed my bets.
Bad move. I'm new to online betting, but am a vet with cash betting at casinos.
So, I then was sweating the damn hook on Portland that I had previously bought off.
And with Creighton, I would have shaved the damn hook from –9.5 to 9.0 after the change of odds, with which I would have won my bet, but I wound up with a bloody push @ –10, instead. Ugh.
I was impatient and that cost me a win.
So, the moral of this anecdote is: always check your bets when your betting advises you that the odds may have changed, as they do when one is submitting bets.
And I think that the best way to place bets online is to place each bet separately, that way each email confirmation can be on separate emails ... do any of you do that?
I have a whole bunch of bet receipts that say the exact same thing on the subject line, so I'm thinking of forwarding each email receipt to myself with a change in the subject line to reflect the bet, the odds and the amount bet on each email. This may make it easy to go back and track for record keeping.
Same thing with the emails from the betting site that says "You won!".
Do any of you do that kind of thing with emails? I'm just curious.
