Been having some awful luck as of late. Whether it be a meaningless dunk in the MD/VA game, a buzzer beater 3 in the Heat and Murray St game, or a team flat out collapsing tonight in the Wiz.

Anyone else going through a rough stretch of bad beats?

OMG, I was on the MIA game last night too. Put me on tilt.
Today I parlayed CLE -1 over 97.5 1h and the total was...you guessed it, 97. Just makes you relive those easy missed dunks and lay-ins, the FREE throws. I feel you bro.

A lot of people lost or pushed on the OKC LAL game last night too. I was one of the lucky ones who got it at 9.5, only win I had last night.

Wow. Tough going man. After sipping a few brews I sat there and said to a friend of mine that you can't predict the outcome in basketball. If I told you that Atlanta down 9+ in the end of the 3rd Q, would come back and cover would you believe me? If I told you that the Wizards would score 0 FG in an enitre Q against the dubs would you believe me? If I told you that if the Bucks were down by two and 2 opportunities to score and tie the game but instead get a game winning 3 off an offense rebound that was deflected perfectly to Middleton's hand would you believe me. I can go on and on, but It happens all the time in Sports. Which is why I can never do a parlay and would be fortunate to hit a two teamer.I can't imagine betting more than 250 on basketball games.

BOL to you guys. Gonna finish this tournament out and stay away from the NBA or only lean on games on well coached NBA teams that are in a good spot.

oh man serge. Sorry to hear that bro. Keep em coming. Just want this 
to be a lesson to me or anyone who is even thinking about attempting a parlay in the future. 

IF I had to do a parlay, I'd bet on well coached teams playing against terrible teams or playing at home off an embarrassing loss.

I've missed so many 6 game parlays by a one game nipple. It doesn't hurt that much cause it's 40 to win 1300, but it still sucks.

I find it good to reset. Pick a few games, get those down, and start 2 games and build up slowly. But it's the end of the season now and teams are fighting for spots or tanking so I'm just going for it

GL man.
