What a kick in the balls man I had the Raptors ML who were up by 2 with a few seconds left and lost to a 3 point buzzer beater. Game number 2 I had Carolina in hockey and Philly scored with 1 second left to tie it up and then they lost in a shootout. I just cant believe it, its a good thing I'm very patient cause its taking all I got not to put my fist though the computer screen.

This is what I've been saying for four months, I can't believe I just....

These are the most dangerous games to lose, and when chasing will compound the misery....try to stay focused, as hard as that can be for some.

I refuse to bet the raptors for that same reason. Sam Mitchell is an awful x's and o's coach and it shows at the end of games where toronto fucks up time and time again. Ever since Carter hit that 3 against toronto two months ago I only watch Toronto games as a fan or the odd time have an over/under play on them.

I had Syracuse knock me out with that three pointer at the buzzer.

Had Golden St +1...up 3 with like 30 seconds left, end up being down by 1 with 9 left, missed a J with 3, and of course they foul with 1 second left. A deflect off the rebound and I get a push. Oh well.

For every bettor's bad beat, there is the other bettor's "miracle win".

I think they all even out in the end. You'll get the next one and I'll be wearing your shoes.

I feel for the ones that lost, and congrats to the winners. Some say that they all even out, seems like i have lost many more by a .5 point than i ever won!

An some think that these numbers are NOT close!

the bad ones stick with you longer. let's face it, losing blows. when you get the lucky win, it's like, "i had it all along" the key is to recognize that most hot streaks are fueled by some lucky bounces and vice versa for dump periods.

Thats kind of the way I look at it too they'll even out in the end but I think you remember the more of the bad ones then the good ones. And good play on Philly and like you said theres a lot of bettors that got a miracle win too so atleast they're happy

I had Toronto, Carolina, SMU (3 pointer at the buzzer resulted in a push) AND Pacers, who led by 17 in the 3rd quarter, then missed 21 of 25 shots in the 4th and lost by 4. Of course, I had them +3.5.

Sorry but I had the Rockets -11.5 second half, The Under 2nd half on the Ore/Wash ST game and both won by .5 points or more...dont mean to boast about my winnings...just found it ironic

had Fordham 2nd half -1.5

can't believe they lost, up 12 45-33 and get outscored 4-0 at the end.

that never happens when I have the dog getting 8.5, never. There's always a made FT somewhere in there - brutal

which one is worse to lose:

A. Your team is up for the whole game, then collapses towards the end of the fourth and you eventually lose the cover.

B. Your team is down by 20 throughout the whole game, makes a great comeback, but just falls flat at the end and doesn't cover still. i.e. Hofstra.

For me it has to be B. It's emotionally draining throughout the whole game and then you get an extra kick in the balls when they don't complete the comeback.
