    Got a few games tonight I like. Purdue had no business covering I guess... I mean unless they made a simple free throw then they covered.... After the spurs loss this one was bad. I'm +$1200 since my pathetic kings 5.5K debacle and only reason I'm not up 3.3K or more is my horrid luck

    What's more funny is he bought it from 6 to 5 and pushed, when all he had to do was bet it when it was 4.5 and a winner.

    *Sigh*...

    Is there no small piece of sh!t that you turd sharks will not stop to shove in your mouths and chew on with great glee and gusto?

    It's a tool...like any other.  If overused, you betcha, it is a bad idea.  I have done that a total of 3 times this entire basketball season.

    But just like any other tool I might use once or twice a year...when you need it, its a good thing its in your tool bag.

    So go ahead and chew on your golden little turd prize that you found lying on the ground after the doggie dropped it.

    I'm sure its tastee delicious.

    Your fave treat.

    PM for the skinny on the down low

    The fact that you have defended yourself after buying a full point in basketball is beyond hilarious. If it was football and you were trying to hit the key number I would understand, but basketball? The bookies must love you.

    A simple free throw,  everyone shoots 100%?  Purdue has  1 guy over 74% and as a team shoot 68%.  They shot 73% today.

    Yeah, they loved me all 3 times I did it this year and I am sure they will love paying me as the winner all 3 times as well.

    Almost as much as you love the little turd you are chewing on right now.  Just keep chewing as long as you need to bro...I am sure you can get the consistency just right for you to swallow it whole soon.

    10 years gambling eh?  I have been gambling for longer than you have been breathing farts on this planet little guy.  Glad you have made your mind up about this tool...every time you have thought to yourself...

    "Self, this game might go down to the very last shot and be very close to the spread...I might want to buy and get to a number that I like.  Naw, F that.  That just wrong and I will look stupid.  It's against all the rules of the gambling gods.  But my gut says, do it....nope, nope, nope.  Not listening to that burrito."

    And then you go ahead and lose the game by a point or miss a push.  

    Keep chewing on that turd boy.  And never, I MEAN NEVER, listen to your gut.  It's the way all good gamblers win forever and ever and ever.

    The end.

    PM for the skinny on the down low

    At the risk of having you talk about me eating turds.....why in the world are you betting a game you think is going to come down to the final possession? That is the exact game you want to avoid. There are 45 other college games to play today. There must be others that you think will not come down to the final possession.

    CG..Nothing to do with Luck Buddy..It's Variance..So if Purdue makes that last FT..what if Penn State made a meaningless shot to end the game.  You would be saying it is bad luck etc..

    If your gut told you that game was going to come down to a single point, and you still bet it, what is wrong with you? Not to mention betting it at a higher price??

    Hey, it's your money and you can buy all the points the you want, anytime you want to.  But please stop trying to justify it as a good move, because it's not.......regardless of what your 3 game sample size says.

    CG, you have been in this stretch. But you were crazy fortunate on some of your early plays. So I'd say so far it has balanced out. 

    To say you have been unlucky overall from the beginning of this thread would be wrong IMO. Your luck has been balanced.

    Theres something you just have learned to grasp yet and that is games like this are part of gambling.  Everybody on the planet has this type of stuff happen to them.  Why dont you eep track of the games that you win, that you shouldnt have.

    Seems you have an excuse for every loser.  If you are gonna do this for the rest of your life, you better start realizing now these things are always going to happen.  If gambling was easy, we would all be rich from it

    I hear ya Hutch. 

    Being paid on the spot with cash in hand is fun. But you know what's more fun? Having more cash.
