I can understand your concerns and agree with last couple of days not being by standards I set to myself. I don't feel anyone is bashing me by expressing constructive criticism. I also don't feel any pressure and the measuring of my efforts compared to achieved results will be done at the end of the month from day one posting.

But then how do you explain Washington, Boston, and New Orleans beating better Power Ranked teams today?

i wish everyone wud just shut the hell up...its real simple,follow or dont follow.2 options,ya aint forced 2 do nothin.
mavin doesnt go out and miss shots or slack on defense.no point blaming a man sitting at home for player performance.
regardless of anything else,gratitude shud b shown for sumone donating massive amounts of time and effort in order 2 benefit others.
if youre all so smart about the plays,then dont play them in the 1st place.
nothing to do with defending u mavin,just giving my view

Jesus Mavin, Tough luck today man... Great day for Vegas I reckon.  I feel your pain. I thought San Antonio was a lock today.

Oh well... I cleaned up with NFL going 4-0 with all favorites the past 4 games.

I did not take under 194 but teased it with 7 points. Under 201. And that under hit, OKC -6.5 didn't

No pain. No remorse, no feeling bad. Busy entering notes on my losses. Well, loss on BCS under is done and no notes will help there as the season is over. But about every other loss I have tons of conclusions. Not only about the losses but the whole day as it was a typical Monday. We will gain from heavy favorite's losses in a very near future because those teams are ATS beasts and will remain such after paying dues...
Thanks and grats on your NFL

you are going real cold. if i were you i will make 1 bet a day. i tailed you 3 bets total and its 0-3. i have other game backing me up but still down 1 unit. my suggestion is go back to the basic. 1 bet a day, until you get hot again, because if you keep analyzing games the way you do now, it will go down fast. thats a losing streak everyone has once in a while. good luck.

Brutal man.  A week worth of work down the drain.  I would consider taking a day off to re-examine.  When I looked at your handicap on the National Title game (2 defensive orientated teams going against each other), I said to myself "Yeah, but the oddsmakers know that too."

You maybe up but your followers are definitely in the hole.  Nobody will tail someone "just because."  I'm assuming they are pressing your loses as well. 

BOL to you man and wish you a huge bounceback.  Remember that game selection, patience, and discipline is the key to success.

I will recap the games of today and will torture myself to the point that next Monday and Monday after that the books better be prepared (little fist waving on a losing day does not hurt nobody). 
In short, I will end the day with the same say as I do on a winning days;
Today is done. Tomorrow's another day that begins at 0-0. Move on...

Yeah tough day indeed, on the positive it should help eliminate some of the pure gambler followers that aren't interested in any kind of steady income, but instead looking for some miracle winner picker that will never exist in the long term.  Interesting that haven't heard from Melos tonight, if he took a day off good for him. Today was brutal with all kinds on unexpected outcomes left and right.
