I made the choice that i'm taking the rest of non-conference off. My confidence is shattered. I can't get these teams to do what i need them to do. DD leads blown, G.Mason player stomps a USF player etc. I'm tired of being angry,throwing things etc. I'm going to focus on the bowls and be back Jan 7th or 8th for conference play
The facts are i've got a wife,i've got high school hoops i'm calling tomorrow and friday and i don't need this sh*T right now. My goal was to win 10K in hoops this season. Don't know if that will happen or not.
BOL guys sorry to rant i'll see you soon
Hey, I feel your pain. Suffered some bad beats lately after doing well all football season in spite of taking some bad hits. I used to play with a substantial bankroll around $20K, but really toned it down last two years because it took over my life. I totally would be pissed all the time about these bad beats, and I have a family and serious job, etc. Friends who used to gamble would tell me to quit and they still do. I'm not putting anything in jeopardy, money-wise - I only bet what I can afford to lose, but when it dominates my mood swings, I had to dial back.
This football season, I started with a $2,500 bankroll and doubled it eventually, reaching the high water mark last week. The $2,500 fluctuated between $800 and $5,000 all season. Well, I lost discipline after a couple of insanely unfair losses in hoops in football on Sunday, and then I went all in by parlaying UNC Money line of -700 with another game I loved to get rid of juice. I have watched both UNC and Texas this year and didn't see UNC losing outright. Yes, thought they would scuffle with free throws but Texas has scuffled as well with FT's - how can you predict a team will miss over 20 free throws and shoot 24 for 49 from the line or something silly like that ? Then, some garbage fat point guard for Texas who couldn't shoot a lick last year drains 2 killer key 3's. Texas misses two free throws at the end, but guy puts back own miss, and refs don't even call basket interference. UNC missed game tying 3 at buzzer, rims out.
I am on the wrong side of that stuff too often it seems, and this has been a hard season to cap in college hoops. So, I totally understand you wanting to forget college hoops till conference play. I'm debating being right there with you. May just stick to bowls. Just stuck $1,000 into the on line account, and will try to build it back. So frustrating. I feel for you because I know what you are feeling - as do many on these boards.
Best of luck.
