In all my gambling life......

[bucsfan67]

I dont think i have has as many big leads blown in all, as i have had in the last couple months.....Just in a funk...

Had phoenix earlier this year, when they blow a 19 pt lead in 4th quarter..had Seattle last night, blow a 17 point lead at home.....had Philly last night, they blow 19 point lead in second half, had Louisville today, they blow 16 point lead in second half.....there have been a few others as well, i am not talking about bad beats, talking about good teams blowing HUGE leads.....why can't teams just put the other team away, instead of jacking around?

Doesnt seem to work the other way very often....If my teams get down like that, more times than not, they just fold the tent, and play it out....

It happens, you don't whine about the wins, so brush off the losses.

sorry to hear bucman....take a break and brush off the losses

I don't think I have seen more large 2nd half leads blown in college basketball in this short of a span ever. It's almost like it's turned into pro hoops.

I can't agree with you more. It caused me to take a 3 week break and I came back today into the circle with some horse matchups and college hoops totals. This is about the time of year I focus on totals only, so giving up sides for a few weeks didn't hurt.

Thats kinda the point i was trying to make Mr Teaser, before Green Doberman pegged me a whiner......

Its not the losing, hell there are another 100 games i have lost in that time, that were either bad picks, bad beats, whatever, I am not complaining about those..

Its the HUGE LEADS that my teams seem to blow that got to me.....I have been on the wrong side of some huge collapses so far this year......

Its not just losing a game, but having a team up double digits in the second half, not only not covering, they lose the game straight up....I think the worst was the phoenix in cleveland game, when they were up 19 in the 4th quarter..

What kind of odds would u give Phoenix to win a game now, up 19 in the 4th...?

It the way they have gone down that got me, not the fact that they simply went down....

BucsFan...take a break before you start to let these beats affect your handicapping. Of course it's the macho thing to just play through it, but we all need a break at times. Now is the perfect time with the holidays being here. The fact alone that you're posting this tells me that it's already seeped into your head. Take a break and give your mind and bankroll a rest.

Bucs I feel your pain. Mine have been with NFL teasers the last 2 Monday nights, espically last week with Tenn +8. Also had the under 51.5 in a 10 point teaser tonight that never should have lost with 20 points scored in the first half. I cut back a lot this week and come back to Vick. Ugh.
