but rarely about our lucky wins.
I had such a win yesterday in the CALG @ EDM game yesterday for my 2nd half wager.
I wagered on EDM who were -1.5 points for the 2nd half. And won the 2nd half 20-18

Edmonton was completely dominated in almost every aspect of the second half, but somehow still managed to cover the point spread. I think ricky Ray was 1-9 in passing at one point.
Edmonton tied the game up early in the third as a Kelly Malveaux interception led to a Noel Prefontaine field goal.
The Eskimos kept coming midway through the quarter as Tristan Jackson broke several tackles for a 63-yard punt return to the Calgary 31, leading to another Prefontaine field goal and a 10-point advantage.
The Eskimos caught a massive break on the final play of the third quarter as Ryan bobbled yet another punt and the ball bounced off a helmet and into the waiting arms of Kai Ellis who sprinted 40 yards for the special teams touchdown and a 34-20 Edmonton lead.
I won this play completely on the back of special teams and sheer dumb luck. On the flip side, anyone who wagered on CALG 2nd half had a very very very bad beat.
I think its human nature to forget the "lucky wins" and remember the "bad beats" but IMO over thousands of wagers, they most likely even out.
