GimmeDattt Tuesday Hoops (42-31 +23.30 Units)

[GimmeDattt]

Well after that Cuse and Loyola loss I sat back, took a deep breathe and thought about everything. I thought about dropping near 18 units in a two day span and what was wrong. I know I am capable of better but I just do not know what is wrong and I came to the conclusion I am pressing. Pressing for plays that aren't there. My hot start was attributed to Feast Week and its big line-up and most of my money was made on days with bigger cards. So I realized I am still up 23.30 units which I am not going to take for granted because some people would love to be up that much. I am still hitting 57% on the year which I am satisfied with. So now with a big week approaching of bowl games, and cbb, and NFL on 4 nights I need to pump the brakes and try to grind back up to where I was. If it takes 3 weeks then so be it.

As for now, fade me, follow me, do what you want but the facts are I am on a cold streak and need to turn it around.

So hopefully in about 4 hours I will post a few winners and in 2 weeks or so this cold streak will be a distant memory.

GL guys and thanks to those who support.

I've tailed you a lot since you appeared here and I like your approach my friend. We all go through cold streaks, just get back to basics. ONe of the hardest things to do when you get on a win-streak is to control your betting and like you said to not press.
Get back to the basics and you'll be fine. We've all gone through this.

Ha you could take my approach, I was doing very well and decided to start posting on here. As soon as I did I went 1-4. I said forget that it must be bad lucked. Parlayed Pepperdine +26 with Riverside -5 tonight and had a big win. I do better when I keep my final bets to myself. BOL! I love the insight you do give each day!

Why is USF getting 8? Vandy has not looked that impressive that they should be laying 8 on a biased court in Nashville, but not their home court. Any opinion on this game?

Rght On!

Thanks for the nice post to start your Tuesday thread with! :aktion033

Despite my chaotic and somewhat schizophrenic behavior, I still want to believe in and follow you on your plays. Perhaps it's the inner masochist in me who compels me to trudge forward towards the guillotine with you each and every day with the hopes I can fool and escape the executioner.

You once stated I should bet what I know. Well, I know football. I handicap my own plays. I am successful. I do not follow anyone. Case in point this last MNF game with Philly-Cleveland. I had a nice size bet of Philly -15. I posted in your Monday thread what I handicapped to be the final score prediction - Philly 31 Cleveland 10. Well, you saw what the final was: Philly 30 Cleveland 10. So why do I torture myself and continue with betting hoops? Perhaps I am an "action junkie" as you put it. But I see many people here at the Rx who are successful at hoops betting. I want to experience that winning feeling in hoops like I consistently do in football. Maybe I need to take a chance and handicap a few basketball games myself and let the chips fall where they may land. Or maybe I should forget about hoops and just load up on football. Late season NFL and NCAA bowl season is when I historically have made a killing.

In any event, I just want you to know that I genuinely appreciate your efforts. You're a man of integrity, and for that, I respect you greatly. Sure, my Jeckle & Hyde posting style probably grates you. However, I'm generally an easy going jovial person. To know me is to love me. If given the chance, I can grow on you like moss! I know I need to take a "chill pill" every now and then. I'm trying to curtail my histrionics during gameplay.

You and Homedawg are a couple of my favorites here at the Rx, and it pains me to see you guys lose. I realize I lose as well when I follow. Yet, that's on me and not you. It's just bad timing on my part. I started following both you guys recently - unfortunately, during uncharacteristic cold spells/slumps.

OK, I'll get off my soapbox now.

GimmeDatt, I know you'll turn it around! Keep it real! :toast:

Season ends in March GimmeDat..capping this sport is just like the game of basketball. It's a game of runs...you will win a lot and you will lose a lot. Keep a good approach and use money management and the good cappers will always be in the black at the end of the year

 

[krk1030]

This is like the pre-season. Taking 20 units into conference play is always good.

 

[Lrrr]

And when we fall we will fall together, no one will catch us so we'll catch ourselves.

 

[PaperTrail]

i believe in ya GD, don't get down too hard on yaself man, hold that chin up, do what ya do best and get that money homie.

 

[6figure]

Streaks are made to be broken...the law of averages is just comming into play....keep hitting 57% and you will have a tremendous year...gl

 

[JackARoot]

G.D. I just wanted to apologize for tailing you for the past week. I think I might have put the jinx on you.

Lately, it doesn't seem to matter who I tail or if I make my own picks its all gone bad. I don't think I could pick my nose right now.

Better hope I don't bet Christmas is coming :nohead:

:toast:

Vandy/South Florida Over 126 (2 Units)
South Florida +8.5 (2 Units)
======================
May be a square play but Vandy seems to always be able to score at home. South Florida can also score the ball and even though they didn't show it against Niagra on Sunday they have some talent. Plus, South Florida had Mercer and Gilchrist play thier first game on Sunday and they will see increased minutes this week which I think makes South Florida a much better scoring team and obviously makes them deeper. Although, Vanderbilt is a tough place to play I think South Florida is more then capable of playing with them all the way.

Call me crazy but if that line dips a bit more I will be on Tennessee in a bit.

 

[GimmeDattt]

Again, thanks for all the support and hopefully tonight things will improve. I hate losing at anything which is probably why I get pissed at myself after losing days. Hopefully can keep grinding back up.

 

[bzkill]

Tennessee is a good play gimme dont hesitate on that one it might keep going down too

Vanderbilt is playing this game at the Sommet center in Nashville I believe. The Tenn game is the 2nd game of the double header

Yea you can give me this one and hit your other 3 right?

I think we see South Florida start to gel tonight with Mercer and Gilchrist. They played ALOT of minutes for thier first game with the team and tried to do to a little to much. I like this game to be played in the high 60's atleast.
