It just got worse. Re-bet that original 20 leg with the remaining 11 legs to win 30k using Rune ML to cover it. Ruud killed & I don't see the last 3 legs losing. Break even day could've at least been a 30k consolation day but nope. 18 out of 20 with nothing to show for it.

The pick that I didn’t make just won, but of course it did. The Gambling Gods are trolling me hard & they want me to go tilt, but I won’t EVER do that again in my life.
Knew she was gonna pull this shit. After GIVING her 12k last yr, I lent her an additional 4k on 1 condition. She pays me back $250/month for 16 months starting in Jan. Paid me in Jan & now says she can't start repaying until Aug (if ever most likely). I would sooner go down on @sunshine11 than ever lend anybody another fukking penny again in my life. First Woj, now this twat.

Sometimes the best bets are the ones you don’t make​


If you didn't make it, then it wasn't a bet. But nevermind those semantics. There is a bigger point to be made.

Lost a $300 bet mid-week tailing red-hot Chili (think it was his only loss this week)

Really liked the Knicks last night and was going to put $300 on them ML but just didn’t pull the trigger.

Thought the Knicks were the better overall team with more depth, balance, etc.

But decided I didn’t want to be in chase mode trying to get the $$ I lost back and didn’t want to risk falling behind $610 for the week.

Was kicking myself 90 percent of the game.

Until I wasn’t

That point is that you shouldn't judge the quality of a bet (in the case the "best bets" as you put it) based on the results of that bet.

Good bets win, and good bets lose. Bad bets win, and bad bets lose.

Such is the way with bets.

@KVB you remind me of Holly Hunter in this scene from Broadcast News sometimes

Was going to bet Alex Bowman +420 to win $700 in the Xfinity race today.

But I haven’t been doing too well this week so I decided to take a day off from the racing

Bowman took the lead by three car lengths on an overtime restart and I was kicking myself for not betting it. Then he got nosed out at the wire after he slid/got pushed up the race track on the final turn by winner Amirola

Another good no play, as I continue to bet on the wrong days & not bet on the right days.

Sounds like my story with Lakers +7 tonight at Boston.

Red hot team winning 16 of 18.

Kept it close in the first Q, and will lose by 25 apparently. Tatum 27 points on 17 shots and Brown with 22.

The only reason I didn't bet was Hayes missing the game. You can only have so many good bigs on the team, and Lakers injuries haven't really showed up to hurt them.. until now

Yes Hayes has been a key player during the streak, especially in the Bron-Luka era. He’s open a lot and free to snag a lot of boards

So glad I cashed out not trusting Colin ($1066 C/O loss but obv well worth it). These 2 parlays should've won over 18k with him & Norris gagging 3 shots leads on the back 9.
* Instead I took Collin top 5 & & put Vilips in a 5 leg just needing Tiafraud to close it out.
Also just realized FD pays out on rets. without needing 1 set completed with Alex pulling the 🔌 after 2 games
