Yeah, that's it guys. This one is another frustrating loss on its way. Suns looked perfect to start out and their getting exposed in this quarter.
Heat getting ready to blow this wide open.
I'm legitimately done now for a little while. I've been total fade material past few days. I need to clear my head and stop forcing these picks.
My numbers and instincts are totally betraying me. It's been a long time since I've been this cold.
Not over, but I'm not getting my hopes up because the past few days have been a disaster.

BOL in future picks!
I appreciate it, sir. It's night like these though that remind me why I quit doing this professionally.

Seriously though, I know I've said it a lot lately, but I'm genuinely taking the next few days off.
When terrible beats like this pile up, you just have to cut your losses and recharge.
I'll see you guys in a few days, I might respond to some posts in here, but don't expect any plays.
Good luck to you guys

Thanks buddy, I appreciate it. Yeah, the last ones were definitely some real tough, tough plays. Didn't make it easy on myself by any means. As disciplined as I try to be, don't be surprised if my inner degen eeks out and has me making a play, but frankly, I don't think I'm going to do that.
I genuinely appreciate your posts though. Thank you.

Hey man your doing well. Its easy to get down on yourself doing this sorta thing. I've been interested in your last few picks though as they have seem odd and off. for example the timberwolves over the rockets the other night... I choose to fade your pick. Kevin love was shaken up after that big fall he took couple nights back. plus they've had other injurys while the rockets have been purely on fire. The heat/suns pick tonight would have been good. however I find that its rare the heat lose....let alone Lose 2 in a row (difference maker)... it happens but not very much thats for sure. I probably would have gone with your pick if I woulda known D'wade woulda been out of the game but I lucked out that they still pulled off the -3.5 without him. I also picked OKC tonight when it was even spread. Reason being that when your offered #1 team against #5 team in nba and its even spread...who do you take. I'll take #1 every time assuming they've rested semi equally and taken injuries into account as such. Anyways keep it up I like reading other people opinions as it challenges mine.

I live in South Florida so I get to see Miami a lot. Honestly when I heard Wade was out I was worried. Instinctually I didn't feel good, but my numbers had Phoenix winning straight up by 3.
I figured they'd at least cover. This was just a terrible, terrible beat. Honestly, this game was a coin flip towards the end.
Anyway, stick to what you're doing. Runs good and bad are inevitable. I just have to let it blow over.
I'm just out of rhythm, when I get back, I'll be fine.
Thanks for posting.

you're good with me whiskey! keep ur head up!
cheers
Thanks man.
Had no idea this many people were keeping an eye on the thread. Feel like I got a lot of good people in my corner and I didn't even know it.
Honestly, I'm glad I didn't play this game prior to the tip. I had Blazers earlier this season against OKC when they were -3.5 if I recall correctly. They easily covered but I took the moneyline that game.
I really liked OKC to take revenge on them tonight after that tough loss. OKC is a different team this year too, can't put it into words but there's a newly found focus, and KD is as lethal as I've ever seen him. Jackson and Lamb have been pleasant surprises aslo. Blazers are a team that I don't want to call frauds, but they rely on way too many tough shots to survive night out, night out.
Granted, LA had a bad shooting night, but it was worth gambling they'd have a poorer shooting outing this time around, and they did.
Least I was able to snag a live bet.

We all go through streaks like this...Vegas or books aren't in business for no reason! Good Luck when you do come back! I was with you on that Phoenix play last night, needed it to complete a 3 team parlay which Cleve and the over won last night...All good I am a hedger so guaranteed money is always good.

Thanks mush. I actually caved in and took Kings +6 tonight for a super-small play. Just trying to get back in rhythm. Was contemplating taking Warriors +2 tonight, but this game is a complete toss-up and I don't like the fact Foster is reffing. He's pretty much guaranteed Heat money.
