You are a college grad which is great. You are unemployed, a lot of us have been there. Stop gambling so much bro for real. Dont drop 1100 tomorrow. The only way you will climb out of that hole is with $ management. If you win 50/ day thats 1500 a month. Look at it like that. GL

Personally I don't love any games tomorrow, but gun to head having to pick one I could go with the Indiana under. Portland has been ice cold as of late and I think this game goes under unless Portland just goes insanely hot on their jump shots. And as well all know Indiana plays very solid D. Wouldn't bet 1100 on it but I do have it for my covers pick hehe. Anyway gl and hope you hit, I know how stressful this can be, we've all been there.

we're on the same page at some point, we don't just bet big because we lost sometimes, what you're feeling now, it's all because of frustration. Dude, it's what gambling wants you to feel, frustrated to keep on betting. Save the money, take time to read the line, if you got one, split the money and bet slowly. BOL

NO portland is not deep at all,they are vastly improved from last season in bench scoring but then thats not saying much as they were one of the worst teams in nba history in bench scoring last year...even now having joel freeland and thomas robinson checking in aint exactly scary for opposition teams.lance stephenson not likely from wat im reading..no,blazers DO NOT match up well with the pacers at all.wat have you been watching??a strictly jump-shooting team that has almost no post presence,little penetration and non-existent defense most of the time is custom-made to be dominated by a frontcourt-heavy,defensive-minded title contendor like the pacers on their home floor....theres a reason why blazers are next to last in the league in points in the paint and ya cant rely on long jump-shots all season long..that garbage is finally catching up to them in this recent stretch as the long ball aint dropping like it once was...in short IF pacers are up for the game then they can win fairly well..however,even with such a matchup against a top western conference contendor,it is hard to know whether pacers carry on in the disinterested manner which they have done the past couple weeks or so as they wind down before all-star break so i wouldnt trust them entirely to cover the number.

in summary the line is about where it should be,there is no great stand-out value to be had in my opinion...taking a side is more gambling than a sound "investment strategy".

it doesnt sound like you put a whole lot of effort into researching the games and youre messing with the most notoriously difficult league to win betting on of all sports,pro or college....as im sure you have noticed it is wildly unpredictable and situational and fluid as things always changing throughout the season.

anyhow enuff of all that garbage....dude,i gotta agree completely with trey inventor,please,please,please dont throw away your last few dollars on wat will essentially be another wild guess..surely you have the perspective to sit back and see the self-perpetuating problem you have??...seriously you are far,far too emotionally invested in your bets and this causes to to over-react,bet irrationally and chase and randomly follow others(probably picking up losers and missing winners as ya jump from one piece of advice to another).....to hear you are in a tough spot employment-wise its staggering to me that youre even gambling at all but i understand the addiction and exhilirating high it provides for people...nonetheless i hate to see or hear of this type of self-destructive behaviour.if you make that stupid bet tommorow it will just continue on and on and on,self-perpetuating as i said.....i know its much,much easier said than done but you gotta take a stand and change your behaviour..if you cant stop gambling then at least take the advice given earlier and only bet absolutely no more than 5% of bankroll maximum on one bet and dont bet any more than a few a day...as im sure you are aware its exactly like the casino,the longer you stay and the more you play the greater your chances of losing...the more games you play the harder it is to get an edge in sports gambling and if youre playing heaps of sides a day and then chasing as well you are guaranteeing yourself failure.

bet small and see if you can build a bigger bankroll that way.....and look at it this way-if you only bet small it will allow you to get your kicks gambling for longer and more bets,which is the thrill that motivates you in the 1st place right??

im sure you have heard all this before and it probably seems impossible...but really its not.all you have to do is decide to do it,then DO IT!!......perception and mindset is a dangerous thing,remember any money that has been lost is gone and shud be forgotten,it is not owed back to you or due to you in any way.you have to remove it from memory completely and try and make a sound bet next time out.as they always say its a marathon,not a sprint.

hope this rant helps in some small way,im sure its repetitive of wat others may have already told you before but its tough seeing you stressing and desperately asking for help day after day....there are some here who dont like to see others fail and laugh at their expense so hopefully you can take something from it

Definitelt spreadin ur bet even tho if u win a bet wit 3k seems nice but the consequences of losin is way more painful. Take ur time. Small bets seperately or parlay wuld be the best

Make a bet and stick with it, don't hedge when you can potentially lose both ways. Only do so if you can either push/win. GL tomorrow FTB

Take that last thousand, buy a bunch of bud, sit around and reflect on how its not as big of a waste to smoke it all than it is yo be down 2900 and try getting out of it by throwin another 1000 at the wall and praying it sticks.

we all create our own reality Frank, the money is there for you, take it

The best advice I think anyone can give you is not to take advice from to many people.. 50 people on here all with different opinions your gonna be more confused then you were to begin with... If your looking for advice moving forward on here listen to 1 or 2 people that you respect their outlook the most and listen to them... If your looking for a game to play don't make it a do or die type game... If you got 1100 to play with break it down to 3 wagers one at a time.. As far as what you play take advice from who you think are the two best cappers on here... Listen to them and them only!! NO MORE TEASERS FRANK!! One straight wager between 300-500 tonight and that's it... Not to sound corny but Rome wasn't built in a day... Listen to your 2 best cappers on here, put a play together and stick to it... Good luck pal hope you get out from under this
