I agree I was going for one hit before football season ended. I guess I got it with the Ravens tho
it’s the same story have to flat bet to avoid this
just amazed that there are people who bet 500K, 50K on Bucs and they won
but yeah same story picking 60% and lose the one huge shot I take. ML favorite and spread. Typical
I am at peace with the decision. Joke now if Bills cover I go 1-1 and lose 22.7K or whatever..
I mean I loved the Pack but yeah u can’t become a millionaire in this because
1. you have to flat bet
2. if u mostly flat bet and hit a few bombs like me in wildcard weekend u have to hit the monster bomb.
I still got 20K in bank and 24K or so total of bills cover but I either gotta eat this or start chipping away on college hoops, nba or hockey...
or I go all in on super bowl, but it’s mostly luck. I would like my QB to throw 3 straight picks on 3 straight possessions. I would lose 49-10
The Pack was my one big hit
i wouldn’t have bet more than 2-4K on this bills game regardless if I won.
revenge angle cold weather etc. but being 29 with no snow as I predicted is nothing even despite Bucs ridiculous bad record in cold historically
like 1-25 in temps below freezing or something
Vegas you had the right side. Just unlucky, shit happens in this gambling life we put ourselves thru . GB just dug itself in a massive hole they couldn’t get out . Dumb calls,mistakes ,turnovers, unfortunately in this sport the better team doesn’t always win . Gambling is tough it has to be a grind win or lose we can’t allow ourselves to snap and bet over our limits, in a long run this will never work.
@Vegas11787
Now we're talking.
@davemsh
1-4K max if that didn’t happen
it’s cool I’m picking at 60% in PC2 but still have this happen. Wanted to take my shot
happily retiring now
wish u all luck in future. I have accepted what a waste of time and money this is if you take shots like me and try to do this to win
got money in bank where if I stop I’ll be fine
not going to risk if all anymore
Holding press conference 9AM pacific tomorrow announcing my retirement
@bluecompass
Not your fault I made the bet and didn’t work out
possibility I had in my head before bet
then compounded it by taking bills. All good had 30K in my two online sports accounts and never withdrawal
time to retire happily into sunset. Failed like 98% of bettors who try to win long term and bet real big money on games
thought was one of best, know football inside out
wasent even that upset Lafluer kicked. 4 timeouts with two min warning. Even said was smart going offsides on second and 1 after. So Bucs didn’t bet First on second or third
then they get a first down again after first and 10
no matter your knowledge of the game still gives u no edge in this
just will be weird watching sports with no action but whatever
Out of my honesty and respect updated my record
Again wish u all the best fellas
focusing on good things in life now. I’m like Phillip rivers. Solid can pick winners but a nut job who couldn’t ever win the big game
is what it is and have accepted it
Retirement press conference 9AM pacific
hall of shame induction at Noon Friday
Sorry, buddy. But this is my experience betting against Brady. Lost too much money on him, which is why I had him in the SB against the Falcons. And he pulled a rabbit out of the hat in that one. He has done it to all of us.
You are right, gambling is a time suck, and I only do it to deal with my depression. Keep your head up, and good luck moving forward. 
@begginerboy
Thanks bro. Saw in one of ur posts ur dealing with a lot with family and stuff wish u and them all the best. Ur a class act and I understand coming here s lot for diversion appreciate ur input always
If u told me that Brady would throw a pick on 3 straight drives I would have risked more
6 pts a dropped 2 pt conversion after first INT
then two straight three and outs
credit Bucs defensive line just shitting on the Fake Fudgepackers all night
I was shocked the Packers didn’t do more with those turnovers, especially with the scrub safeties back there. Was it a choke job? Maybe. That defense actually atoned for its big mistake at the end of the half. But Rodgers could not capitalize. I saw him lose big games against my Niners in the playoffs many times, even in the snow in GB, when Kap was the QB. Heartbreak kids, they are, at least in the playoffs.
@begginerboy
Yeah down two safeties also great point
What did u think of Lafluer kicking the fg?
Was a miracle the Bucs returner went down before 2 min warning... (gave GB essentially a 4th timeout)
Lafluer and pack got a huge break there and then going offsides on second and 1 was actually smart but then couldn’t stop them on first and 10 again
first of all his kicker kicked one touchback all day so if u can’t kick a touchback u have to figure clock goes to two minute warning on kickoff...
so no essential fourth timeout (which they lucked out and got) Then what made his decision even worse was
1. my kicker can never kick a touchback (unheard of in this age of NFL)
2. What made him think his shit defense would actually get a stop?
was so predictable Bucs would run playaction on first down at 2:02 Clock stops anyway and Arians is aggressive... but Pack totally unprepared
the part that makes betting so dumb is I could coach better and have more football knowledge then this dumbass coaches
a true coach is never tested until today 90% of them great in blowouts but when they are truly tested in close games with real decisions they crumble
But despite having great knowledge of the game
u cant cap the Packers dropping an INT on third down before half then not playing prevent with 6 seconds left and Bucs no timeouts...
Or Rodgers being a box late and not scrambling for a walk in TD right before the FG at 31-23 on third and goal..
You would like coaches to be able to make logical decisions to help your bet but it’s impossible bc ur always at there fate
and so many terrible decisions made on GAMEDAY they kill our bets
That last point is a very good one! Look at Andy Reid all those years. His teams choked and choked. I created a thread last week saying that 2nd half after Mahomes got hurt was Reid’s finest coaching hour. He did it in the clutch, without his star QB. The Reid of old would have choked away that game. LaFleur is still young. Like Shanahan last year in the SB, he choked. Until guys have proven it, coaches I mean, you can’t trust them with big money. And sometimes even then they choke. Look at Seattle in the SB on the goal line. Good coach. Great QB. Bad call. It happens. I have more to say about LaFleur, and have in other threads. But you are right. They should have gone for it on 4th down. Can’t give the ball back to the GOAT expecting to get it back, not after all the stops the defense made already in the second half. He was playing with fire. Odds were stacked against his defense coming up with yet another stop.
@begginerboy
Them and the Saints playoff choke artists
adams dropping TD
rodgers not Adams wide open on that one offsides he threw deep to it looked like FB #49 I think it was in which the FB dropped it
then with game on line third and four Green Bay defender tackles receiver for game ending PI
i mean the refs let them play but they had to call that.
I must say I admit defeat. Too many variables to win with these moron coaches and players.
mercy or refs and bad coaching. They call the PI on Rodgers pick before half and it’s prob 14-13 at half not 21-10
all part of game tho. Not blaming refs at all at least they let them play way more in playoffs then regular season
@begginerboy
Yeah falcons pats super bowl..
5 min left maybe less... Falcons up 8 and in easy FG range.. game basically over if kick FG to go up 11
Only way u can get out of that situation is a sack and shannahan is throwing. If I’m playing freaking madden I run there
if I remember correctly bunch of holding calls but the sack is what really stopped them from going up 11 and icing game.
so yeah Lefleur great coach if Running game is working and can go playaction etc. but any bit of adversity like run game stopped and he folds
how bout the great Harbaugh last year in divisional round against Titans? Goes down 14-0 with 14 min left in second quarter and passes 59 times. Makes it like he’s down 55-0
team was a 14-2 physical running team and deals with a little adversity and crumbles
if pack mixed in any runs after Brady’s second and third INT’s at least keep D honest and prob get first down throwing on third but no down 5 and panics like down 40 and keeps throwing despite an offensive line that looked foolish against Bucs pass rush.
loved seeing Billy Turners fatass get wrecked by Pierre Paul that one play. Some pro bowler Turner is. Can only block against Detroit
loser coach and team. Go throw ur 48 TD’s again next year AROD do ur commercials then be a box again on third and goal and afraid to run for walk in TD with game on line
