A nice half point loss to cap off another weekend of 2nd half collapses and last minute losses. I have to laugh actually because in some thread earlier today talking about games being rigged I advised someone that you need to be able to take the bad beats and accept you will have to survive coin flips and sweat out the end of games, etc.
Well the football gods have humbled me and i suppose I can eat crow while I take my own advice now. It's actually comical how it worked out. Besides the Dallas comeback falling short I had the Bears, Texans, Dolphins on my Sunday card and LSU and Wisconsin on Saturday.
If you had any of those you know what I'm talking about. The NFL teams all blew games they were winning/covering in the final minutes while the college teams were both dogs up 2 scores at halftime (with the spread included), both knocked out the opposing teams starting QB and yet both ended up losing the game by 2 scores, turning it over like 5 times combined.
Oh did I mention I also had Arsenal today in Premier League? (blew the lead twice, then had an injury time game winning goal inexplicably waved off by the ref)
Of course we only remember the bad beats and I did have the Raiders but still... That just makes it even crazier when the Raiders are your luckiest team and when the only time in Kyle Shanahan's career he managed to hold a lead you are on the other side (when you had a bet on them vs the Cards, KC last week, the SB, etc.)
I guess I got what I deserved. I won't be giving any more smartarse advice I'll tell you that much. I shouldn't have written that BS especially since I literally just was reading a book about Stu Ungar and the last part I read he had bet 70k (all he had except 300 bucks) on a fight between Julio Cesar Chavez and Meldrick Taylor to go the distance and the ref stopped it with TWO seconds left in the final round. I swear I attracted/manifested the dang bad beats! At least it wasnt as bad or costly as that one for poor Stuey.
Hope some of you out there were somehow on the right side of all those debacles. You must be living right.
