Especially when a coach goes for it on 4-6 with 12 minutes to go on their own 38 yard line. Reficulous but use to it. |

Ive been betting for years.. Totally understand bad beats because I have been on everyone this year... about 15 games of bad beats or horrible coaching decisions that lead to bad beats. What I don’t understand is variance. I am about 2-35 over last two years in sick win vs bad beat. How can the variance be that fucked up. Had to vent, congrats to u |

Think I found a new way to lose a bet tonight. Delaybon Defense, really, , forca head bob while the guy is running away from line of scrimmage.

So figured a new way to get a bad beat. Delay of game on 4-5? No field goal attempt and first down for a head bob on defense. Please

No worries anymore, I'm done for at least a year. GL |

It was not the one game that I lost that brings me to this conclusion to stop. It's the hours of handicapping and seeing more craziness than one should endure. I get its gambling,I get I suck at it. I was able to walk away for 12 years, so I guess my losses spread out over that period are not that bad. Lost about 15k last year and 10k this year, that's all of money to me . Tired of the highs and mostly lows. Would I say I'm addicted... Absolutely... The good news is as I stated before is I didn't need to hit rock bottom. Put myself in a bad situation but now I'm spending time in my other interest. I only wish great luck to all. Need to see less Gambler on Gambler Crime and more guys supporting each other appreciate all the well wishers. Lastly for giggles,I capped a few games, did not call my book... Of course I went 4-0 NBA plays and 3-2 0n NFL, but I won't be sucked in. Actually enjoyed taking kids to movies,instead of watching 8hrs of Foitball. Thx again and good luck

Hope in one year I say fuck it and stay out another 12 like I did in the past |

Appreciate the responses. I was clean 12 years... Pretty good run. Start one day at a time, rather use money on taking family on vacation.s. It's a lot easier walking away when you realize it's not fun. Love gambling but I know it's time to quit. Good luck. |

Gambling Ruins Lives, Families, Loved Ones......WE ARE ADDICTS and it SUCKS !!! Best of Luck and God Bless You!Hang in there brother...tell your bookie to cut your max bet limit and start out small so you can get back in and not get stung early in the process. Thx Bro, I've hit Rock bottom before and stayed away for years. Been To GA before and will utilize that resource. Thank god I have not hit the low of my past being broke and broken. Lost more than I wanted to. Usually only bet a few hundred max a game but was chasing I do take my physical fitness serious so I will now spend that time competing with myself to get in great shape. I appreciate everyone's response... When it's no fun it's time to stop again. You are right about breaking families,I stopped 12 years ago and started about two years ago. Thank god it doesn't have the same hold on me, but I saw myself going down that road. So in away this game probably saved me thousands, so a great way I have to look at it. This is an addiction, that can take you over quickly, so this pinnacle of shannanigans is a freakin blessing in disguise. Good luck all |

I may have lost $500 bucks on this game and numerous thousands over the last year and more in years past. But I want to thank Oregon and every crazy loss one can imagine, including Green Bay this year, I'm tired of being on the wrong side of crazy loses. There seems to be no variance, always on wrong side, so say I suck or jinxed, it doesn't matter. A few days late but good buy Gambling for one year and maybe forever. When it's neither profitable or enjoyable, it's time to stop. Please don't light me up, but I rather be encouraged by people who partake in the same activity. I've gone years at a time saying goodbye and will be spending time training for marathon rather than studying lines, etc. I hope everyone knocks it out of the park and will repost in one year. God bless and good luck to all

I agree with you on hard work picking. When I screw the pooch by not capping well it is acceptable , don't like it but acceptable. As I said earlier I catch a few crazy games, but am typically on the wrong side of crazy or improbable, especially in last 2 minutes two often. Not talking about back door covers, talking about Nebraska game type stuff a few weeks back. Talking about 1st and goal on the 2 and fumbling in the end zone with 2 minutes left. Pick six with 30 seconds left. Stuff like that. How do you cap for bad refs, etc. stuff like scoring 56 points in first half and game not going over 72 is hard to swallow and improbable... Would love to know the record of that. Pittsburg missing a 28yd field goal that has a 97% conversion rate and plain missing it, the improbable stuff defying odds. Shouldn't this balance out? Rant over. Good luck everyone. Oh and by the way I use to own 3 restaurants, talk about hard work

Tough game to cap..been making money on both teams all year, can't say that for many teams. My feeling is that N iLlL is going to try and run and utilize clock. If they can keep it close 70.5 seems high, even in the Mac where 70 seems like nothing

It's horrible that this happens, but what is the odds of me being on bad beats week after week and I maybe get one lluck job to 15 bad beats. I understand variance but this defies odds

I understand Varience, but how is it that when there is a crazy loss by either bad officiating , miracle plays or some improbable outcome I am on the wrong side 14 out of 15 times. Trust me I would remember the gift wins, so don't say they even out. Of course I had Detroit and Under. Losing is or part of gambling.... constantly losing on craziness and being on wrong side... Sickening and improbable.
