This week has been the most heartbreaking week for me in terms of how much misfortune I have had in losing wagers. As a result I ended up losing a few thousand on what looked to be sure wins. I have had winning streaks and losing streaks, but to lose in this fashion is simply unbearable and has brought me to the point where I feel I can't take these types of beats. The bad luck mixed with all the news about scandals and point shaving, I have lost all faith and calling it quits. Just here to vent, and incase anyone is wondering what games brought me to this point....
Bulls/Pacers game 1 - I had a few thousand on Pacers in-running ML and with 3 1/2 minutes it looked like it was in the bag. To see a team completely run out of sync on offense after controlling the game for 45 minutes was about as disgusting a feeling as a bettor can have.
Nuggets/Thunder game 1 - I put a few thousand on the in-running total at over 211. At halftime it looked like a dream scenario. I threw in a couple hundred on the under 105 2H for kicks and only needed 93 points in the 2H to hit my big bet. For two teams of this caliber of offense to go completely cold in the second half and the last 4 minutes of the game, turnover after turnover, and neither team being able to hit a shot, and on top of it all to lose a few thousand by 1 point at the end is simply too unbearable.
These two were some of the most solid bets I have ever made and I would make both 100% of the time I had a chance to do it all over again, and to lose thousands on both in a dramatic "slap in the face" fashion is too much to handle.
When the fun of gambling and wagering is taken out by pure heartbreaks and sheer bad luck, its time to hang it up. Goodbye everyone
My pops, told me that a long time ago, leave those MLs alone. Heed those words, you'll come out better in the long run.
