I know we all take tough beats, I'm not the only one. But after yet another ball busting defeat, I'm really starting to wonder what I have done in a past life to get this treatment. Off the top of my head:

4/2: Papelbon blows a save at +160. 3-1 lead in 9th, Philly loses 4-3 getting only 1 out.
Minny 6-4 lead bottom 9, blown lead when Plough (who had a great game) throws one in the dirt for the tying run, lose in extras at +125.

4/3: Seattle blown lead in 8th, lose in extras. It happens.

4/9: Atlanta leads 4-0 in 9th, Run Line @ +145. Give up 3 for the win and non cover for the RL.

4/14: Another Philly blown save in 9th. This wasn't bad, Atlanta scores 3 in top 8th, Philly 5 in bottom. Still, another blown save.

4/16: Seattle blows a 2-1 lead behind King Felix. 2 out nobody on. Kouzmanoff singles, next guy walks. A ROUTINE 2 hopper to short, he underhands it too high to second, everyone safe. Bases loaded, still leading. Wild pitch ties it, single wins it. +115 down the drain.
Oakland blows yet another 9th inning lead, lose in extras +108

And the icing on the cake, cherry on top, final kick to the teeth.

Today 4/19:
Houston leads 3-1 at +189 bottom 9, Oakland scores 3 to win the game.

Thats PLUS 160, 125, 145, 115, 108, 189. 8.42 units plus the unit lost. 14.42 units lost in the 9th.

BTW, I know it goes both ways. But I have had very few good things happen late. I can think of that Grand Slam by Ike Davis for the over in the 9th. Minnesota got me a win the day after that loss. Thats it.

I'm not asking for every break to go my way, but geezus. Can I just get my fair share?? I mean these games are DONE if I can get a major league closer to get 3 outs. If a shortstop can handle a routine ground ball and make a play made by little leaguers every day.

Thanks for allowing me to vent. Just a rough first 3 weeks of getting my nuts kicked in.

Rough but part of the crap we put ourselves through to gamble. Lol Just stay confident that you were on the right side of those so ur capping is solid & hopefully it'll even out going forward. GL!

Biz, listen to Coach Kevy. Do the following and watch things turn around on Sunday.

1) Look at the computer screen like we are on a Skype session.

2) Don't worry about what anyone else in the room might think.

3) Now say this out loud three times as you look at the computer screen:

BAD BEATS DEPART.....BRING EASY WINNINGS TO MY HEART.

4) Meditate and visualize the bad beats leaving and going away. And welcome in the future good beats.
Do this for about five minutes.

5) Say and declare yourself a winner out loud.

And on Cue, Braun hits a 2R HR in the.....yes 9th inning, for a 8-7 lead.

Unreal.

Kevy,

When I get a chance, I will do exactly that. I will try anything at this point.

Biz, we're experiencing the same bad luck. I've posted a thread with a title of -1.5. I've been losing various parlays due to this hook. I also lost today due to Braun's HR.

Anyway, tomorrow is gonna be a better day. I just wish that I had placed an underdog ML parlay on ATL, GSW and BKN in the NBA.

I'm an A's fan, so at least today's nut stomp resulted in an A's win. And the Dubs a huge Game 1 win.

Doesn't help help the bankroll, but tomorrow is a new day.

And wow, Indiana has turned to shit worse than my baseball beats.

True. They fucking cost me a $100 parlay that would've paid out $8.3k. I put a play on Ind-7.5(nba, the rest are MLB), atl-1.5, tex-1.5, LAD-1.5, TB-1.5, Miami marlins ML. I regretted that decision, since Ind was a las minute addition to add to the juice. Excluding IND would've still resulted in a $4.5k payout.
