let's be real here, the only play in that game was GS, at home, with
that crowd. Denver is a street ball team with no direction. he picked the wrong side and now needs to learn from it and come back strong.

I also lost medium-high stake on Denver ML. What is most hurting for me, it is watching the Denver choking this match....They did not deserve to win - stupid ball handling, selfish performance from Miller who is completely out of any team work idea and most of all - ATROCIOUS coaching of george karl who was completely ridiculous with his decisions in late 4th quarter. Series is over, congratulations to Golden State. we have to move on.

Sorry bud, shake it off.  Take a day or two off, catch a movie, shoot some hoops, try to get in a positive frame of mind again and come back strong.

Should have hedge your bet with Golden state man specially with the line being at 1.5 you knew it would be close...

 

For future bet and this is just what I like to do.. I set my parlays up in time slots and dont like betting a lot of games at the same tip off time. If you set up your last leg of the parlay towards the end of the day you can see how your doing and it give you and easy hedge opportunity...

 

Just my opinion..

easier said than done.

im sure hustlehard doesnt have 1000 to put on gs 2h. who am i kidding, telling him to put 10k on warriors. lol

regardless, u should stop doing parlays. dreams usually dont come true. real talk.

I feel for jim . BUt he didnt lose 200 bucks he just lost 10k, you had 10k on on denver. Number one rule dont parlay. A parlay is equivilant to going all in your winnings. Its basically to what you win the first game then what ever you win that game you put it all in on the next.game etc. SO never parlay only parlay when the games are on the same time. Parlaying when the games arent on the same time are sucker bets. Your better just betting the first game and wait till tip off to see if you wan to go all in the next game

tough bat my man you will recover....remembr this though, the fact that the book was paying you 20k on 200 bucks should tell you that to even be that close the math was not in you favor and math never lies.  Stay away from parlays or just through loose change on them.....you stil kicked behind with your picks though..

Hedge at 2nd half if you wouldn't be in here groaning. Would have been in here showing off your winnings. The whole point of gambling is putting $$$ in your pockets. Any way that you can guarantee $$$ in your pocket, you do it. Don't think twice. Even had the chance to win the hedge and hit the parlay...

it didn't COST you 20K, it COSTED you $200 bucks....it's like playing lotto and only getting paid on 6 numbers with you wagering $1 saying it costed you the $8 million jackpot

you lost $200- you better be able to recoupe from that mentally...

Thread title made it sound like you lost 20k of your own money. Talk about mentally weak lol you had to go for a drive seriously?. Man up dude. You lost $200 on a parlay happens.

If you are devastated with a $200 loss you shouldn't be in this business. And wtf you parlay 100 games and lay 200 on it? Lol
