Sat 2/12/11 - Baylor @ Texas - WHAT U NEED TO KNOW

I'm glad I teased the longhorns to -9, buying 2.5.  Guess I should have bought that last half a point to make it -8.5.

To those of you who visit this thread after the game (which many don't):

I'm sorry for the bad pick and I hope you didn't follow me today.  They shud've covered, but thus is the idea of gambling.  You win sum, you lose sum.  I flipped a coin that hits 75% of the time heads and bet on it.  Well it ended up in the 25% category.

I take my picks and analysis very seriously and, though I actually made money tonight due to Notre Dame and somebody talking me into pressing it on the 1st half line of Texas, I hate being wrong in this forum.  I may be new to posting my research and analysis, but this is worse than lossing part of my bankroll.  I hate being wrong.

I'm now 2-2 on Covers.com and am not happy.  I've put up hours on hours worth of frickin write-ups to help you guys out, but 2-2 is not going to make anybody money but the books and the almighty Vegas.

I lost money on my 3rd pick that I posted on Covers.com, but it wasn't the losing of money that I hated, it was being wrong that bugged the crap out of me.

I don't like being wrong in anything in life.  Sorry guys.

Don't worry about it man.

Win some, lose some... don't sweat it.  Everyday life of a gambler. I understand your frustration.  When one feels so compelled and right about a side and it loses, it is rather mind boggling and disheartening.
