Forgive for my long write up, but here it goes. Made a small 100 dollar deposit and hit a few lucky parlays during the second round of playoffs and my bank roll grew to a k. Couldn't believe how fast I made that kind of money and thought about cashing out.
Was on fire. When the weekend came around I bet on the Clips game 7 against the Spurs, took the right horse in the kentucky derby, and hammered Mayweather against Manny. Thought I'd practice good money management from here on out and I was set.
Weekend comes to an end that's where my bankroll fell apart. Game 1: Clips and Rockets. I got the early line of Houston -4 before CPIII's announcement of being out for that game. Once they were rolling I kept hammering the Rockets live unitll the very end of the game when they lost by double digits. I refused to believe they would lose at home against the weak clips bench. Boom: -450 for the night. Terrible money management.
Then comes game 3 when they were at home, and I kept pounding them live, even at crazy numbers such as +23. Boom... they lost at home by 25. -350 for the night.
Now my bank roll has only $200 and I figured instead of betting every night to pick a spot and go all in. Game 7 Clips at Houston. I figured that might be the best spot to back the Clips. Lost it all.
Now, I now I practiced terrible money management, and I'm not angry that I went bust during these NBA playoffs. But everyday I get up, I can't help to think to myself, why would the Rockets play their best ball when they're down 3-1 in the series? Why couldn't they play this kind of ball game 1 against a Clips team who just came off a physical series with short rest against the Spurs without CPIII in the lineup? Why did it take so long in the series for the Clips weak bench to finally bit them in the arse? Why did I back the Clips in game 7, when they were blowing out the Rockets in the first couple of games?
All these questions, yet I can't come up with a good answer other than I had bad BR management, and I picked both teams at the wrong times?
Clearly I was blinded by something in this series. Makes me question sports gambling all together. Any advice going forward would be greatly appreciated.
