    Yeah after the ending to tonight’s game I’m done until next season. Spurs played so bad in the second half it made the guys that yell scripted after every game seem like they have a point.

     Gonna be just as bad, if not worse next year and all years to come.   Sports are ruined since gambling became legal everywhere.    Theres really no capping games anymore.    Its all luck and hoping youre on the right side of things. 

     

    Tonight's NBA game. Yesterday with the Giants and Washington. Theres tons of other examples.      Its amazing how professional teams blow leads at the highest level and biggest stages of the season. 

     

    BOL on whatver you do moving forward !

     And they get raises to do it! I never assume a game is over unless I have an over total lol. Learned too much even playing little leagues myself and learning about spreads as I watched college and pros. Never over until final buzzer or out.

    That Giants-Nationals game was the same as the NBA Finals. With the momentum gone I thought it would be a miracle for the teams who had the leads (San Antonio and Washington) to win. And they did not lol. You could see it unraveling play by play. I only read about Dodgers-Pirates game but a similar ordeal happened too I believe. Crazy stuff that's sports at any level period!

    Anyone remember that NFL Sunday Night opener last season Ravens and Bills? I had Baltimore in that baby and they turned into a pop warner team in the fourth quarter. That game defined Baltimore's season lol.

    Don’t forget the entire NHL Finals.  Teams just blowing 3 or 4 goal leads like it’s nothing. In 3 of the games.  Can’t remember if game 1 was the same also

    @Anthony7Flores

     It truly is a waste especially when you consider only 4% make money with sports wagering. 
    all those hours. The research, being glued to a tv. It adds up to a lot of wasted hours of life. All that to be an angry person, mad at the world over a sporting event

    I find the manipulation of psychology interesting too. In this series alone and within one week Spurs were the prohibitive favorite then New York was the next coming of Christ and compared to best teams of all time then Knicks were in trouble and then in 1st qtr last night Spurs were the team of the future now there’s no way Spurs recover. Keeps gamblers guessing and on their heels.
