The lines are very tight this time of year. No football
 
Tread carefully and tease minimally or no play the tight ones

ML parlays will save your life. Also buy extra points, most of the time it will like you saw get you the win by a few points. ML though is how im cashing in the last 2 months in both NBA and CBB.

Relax someday you wil go on what one calls a winning streak but of course hopefully you will still have a bankroll at that time.

It just goes to show how good the linemakers are especially by the all-star break.  Anyway as suggested buy the hook and be happier.

Bet2Win, while there may be some kind of rigging. The flip side is that someone won by 1 point if they took opposite positions.

Sometimes taking the ML as others have suggested is the best way to go until you get out of the funk. A win here and there will do wonders for your confidence.  For example, I lost the Duke and Wake Forest spread bets Wednesday. But I won the MSU bet. I was 1-2 in college hoops. So I decided to take the ML for the Cavs and UCLA games. Won both, so I am up for the day.

Thursday I may just make 1 or 2 ml plays (in hoops and/or tennis) and leave it at that. I spent the last 2 hours studying the college and pro games for Thursday and nothing pulled my eye. So I will not force a spread bet.

There are other strategies I deploy as part of money management, but I don't have the patience to go into it now.

Good luck

Play only money line bets then bitch boy! What the hell is so hard about that. I had the Lakers, so I'm smiling about the half point. They hit all their free throws down the stretch to cover!!
