Holy shit, it can't get any worse for me at this point.  Dropping units like flies right now. 

Vikings -2.5 Up 13 with 5 mintues left and win by 2. LOSS 1 Unit

Bears +4.5 Turnover the ball twice in the red zone and lose by 7. One FG on either of those posessions and win. Loss 1 Unit

Chargers -3 Bad pick, but gave up two special teams Loss 2 Units

Tulsa -8 and -7 2H Line Loss 4 units

Nc -2.5 Still stunned over the 97 yard TD and the total meltdown.  Loss 4 units

For me, I have 40 units in my bankroll and to drop 12 units in 5 days over this crap just kills me Just been keeping my head above water this year with bad beats in Zona/Wash, Boise/Tulsa, Broncos/Patriots, Mizzou/Nebraska, Air Force/SD State etc, etc.  I have had more bad beats this year that in my past years betting combined it seems.  I'm just sitting waiting for a meltdown in every game I play.  Net result, down 9 units for the year.

Taking a week or two off to regroup. This shit is getting old.  Just venting is all. I know "it's gambling", but Judas Priest throw me a bone here once in a while!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wowww, I have been losing since Sunday as well and what's funny is that I have had all the picks you had except the Vikings-Ravens game.


Everyone has cold weeks, we'll get through it man!

Thanks Bbookie.  I've actually been capping it seems fairly well and feel like I should be in positive units.  These bad beats lately are just killing me.  The Tulsa game sent me through the roof.  Tonights game just simply left me sitting there stunned that it could  happen two nights in a row.  I'm starting to think I need a 4 TD cushion with 30 seconds left in the game to feel comfortable!!!  Unreal....

hang in there Mack , been an off season for me so far, and I sense the same vibe from many others in the chats- considering the hoo's for saturday but playing a reduced card at smaller units and just trying to weather the storm, as we all know , it's a marathon, not a sprint - believe in your self

Man I hear ya.. I have been rolling this entire year until last Sunday... Went 2-6 lost 13 Units on Sunday alone, then Monday and Tuesday went 5-1 in NFL and MLB +8 Units, then last night and tonight 2 more losing nights.. Had Tulsa and UNC tonight, both correct pick in my book, damn teams just can not close a game out...I am not giving up, this is the 1st horrible week I have had this year in football but it just pisses me off that a team out plays a team 3 quarters then gives up... I know 4 Q's is played, just annoying...

LOL, as I sit here and ponder a huge ML play... Just can't pull the trigger.  Just sick of nickel and diming my way to losing units.  Been  hitting my 4 units plays and one 8 unit plays which is keeping me afloat. Losing two 4 unit plays for me back to back kills me considering that 20% of my bankroll on the line two nights in row only to lose both. Cardinal sin and I broke.  Could care less if I would've stuck to my guns and played them both at 2 units. Looking for one big payoff with huge risk on a ML play.  Any thoughts.  Cosidering taking Rutgers on the ML tomorrow for my entire bankroll!

Unfortunately the site I use won't go ML over two TD's, but I'm looking at more something in the -420 range to throw basically the rest of my bankroll to win 8 units.  Just can't take anymore of these fucking horsehit games.  If I can't pick a straight up winner laying 10 points, then fuck it...

When things get tough reduce your units. Thats where the winning starts.

It is at -14 now, if it stays there u will be able to do it. Then after that game put 5 units with the LSU ML. Nice day

 

I hit big with USC ML against 0SU for ten units. Then the same with UF against LSU and Bama against Miss in the same day.

Thanks. It's sitting at 14.5 right now on my site and for some reason not all the ML plays are out right now.  I'll check out that one.  Thinking Texas ML against Mizzou might be a play as well...

Just place 5 UNITS ML play on Rutgers tonight.
Don't put the whole bankroll then sweat the whole time.

Hopefully you would be able to CASH with the ML play and gain back your confident.




The first and greatest victory is to conquer self

Had Yankees last night and N.C.

Had Tulsa the night before.

I had dropped two NHL games in a row but was interested in taking the Candians ML. I decided not to.

They won.

Bad beat for Stinky in NCAAF and NHL lately.

I have six units on LSU on Saturday and some other minor plays. If I lose my ass then I'm done with NCAAF for the year.

Sick of this sheehat.
