You're like a broken record man.  You're never going to "grind" it.

Honestly, I think you need some serious help.  I think that the lines between reality and this "dream" you claim you are living are beyond blurred, and that the booze and coke are driving your decision making.  You won't get it though, not yet at least.

                No, I give it to you, I'm wasting it.

                - That's friggin great. - You did it to yourself.

                You had to put it all on the line for some Vegas pipe dream.


That's funny.


To all the guys saying everyone suffers bad beats, all I am saying is that CG is not whining when he complains about the Bucks/Heat, Spurs/Cavs and Yanks/Jays (I have to add in Gators Kentucky by .5 and Georetown in that last second dunk game that didn't matter instead of doing what 99.99% of all teams do and dribble out the clock).

This is all in a span of ONE MONTH. 

I suffered two of the worst beats in the NFL last year over the course of the entire SEASON. That makes more sense and even I was going crazy about it.


But ONE MONTH....while in Vegas???

I'm only saying this because I watched all the games he was on and was on the other side in several (Heat/Bucks topping the list) and I can assure you, these aren't typical bad beats. These are on the verge of Miracle bad beats.

And the fact that the Spurs are now playing like the best team in the NBA makes that cavs game that much worse.


To move to Vegas, pick one or two games a night for at least $1,100 and to have 5 brutal, and I do mean brutal, beats in ONE month is unfathomable.

He's not picking 6 games a night.

And yes, flat betting would have solved all this because ya just lose the game and move on, getting it back the next night.


But doing it while on he fringe of blowing your roll after you moved out to Vegas? 


That's about as bad as it gets.

I am not sticking up for his behavior or bet amounts or how he caps, but to be on the other side of those 5 games is ludicrous if you watched them and saw how they went down. Yanks were DEAD last night. They wanted nothing but a hotel bed. CG bets on em? Boom, they rally for 3 in the bottom of the eighth and win it. All runs Jays manufactured.

It's so bad I have to look in this thread to consider fading his picks every night. His luck is beyond atrocious this past month. He is unconsciously picking the most brutal beats of the year on the wrong side almost every time!

The bottom line is this. We know this entire trip will all come down to hitting his bomb plays.


He has to hit one tonight. Hopefully it's in the NBA which I love watching (and admittedly, may consider fading at this point).

Oh ok. It's an O/U in baseball.


I wouldn't trust CC to keep a game under for anything. It's his money.


NBA has a very meaningful slate very night for the next week and he goes MLB O/U. Ok, to each his own.

They were bad CG and the Bucks Heat game???? Oh baby, I near hit the ceiling i jumped so high when I won that. They would have had to give me CPR right on the Bellagio rug if I was in Vegas and I los my that one (hopefully not performed by a blackjack put boss).


I really think you should look NBA. Great games out there! Forget NBA 'luck'. Just look into some of those games! It's worth your time!

It's not that no one else sees it.  It's that you never STFU about it.  Any of them.  And when you have like 30 posts about it, and 2 coked up videos giving the entire play by play of your "phantom" loss, then guess what, people are going to stop giving a $hit about your "bad luck".  

Whining is whining, doesn't matter how often or why you are doing it.  Take a loss like a man, not like a f**king teenager playing Xbox.

If I predicted to someone I would lose six games or whatever it is in that fashion they would call me nuts and lay -5000 that there is no way that could be possible

pros take sick beats daily... in stride with a smile on their face and move on to the next EV decision

Are you going to post a bomb video showing the ticket? If you are willing to risk 5k to win 4K then go bet the LA Kings tonight if that losses then you find an all in game tomorrow. Everyone including myself told you to come up with a plan, figure out you expenses for the month(minus the coke,booze and broads) and bet accordingly. Clearly all the advice fell on deaf ears so maybe you will listen to the kind of advice that you want to hear.

 What is the penalty for breaking your lease? Seems you have about 5 days left before you lose it all. I would look for roommates today.

I don't believe this for a minute. You bet what you liked and didn't fade yourself. It is just another way to find a reason to complain if you lose or a way to rationalize that you capped the game right but faded yourself and lost. So if you lose at least you capped the game right and if you win the bet you feel like a hero for fading yourself. You are a train wreck right now and have ZERO business making any kind of wagers.

Imagine CG's video if a closer blows the under in the 9th inning. It'll be one for the ages

Scal, you are a rookie bettor also if you believe bad beats arent part of the game.  Just because you only had 2 bad beats in a season, that doesnt the mean the next guy wont have 20 bad beats in a season.  Theres no magic formula for that.  This is why you cant even think about bad beats.  A loss is a loss, thats it.

If a gambler cant handle bad beats, no matter how many may pop up, then that person shouldnt be gambling, case closed.

Also if a gambler thinks hes unlucky or jinxed, then they also shouldnt gamble.

You can come back with all your mumbo jumbo, but do yourself a favor and dont waste your time typing it.

A loss is a loss.  Either move on to the next game or quit.


The majority of us longtime gamblers here have never seen a bigger cry baby gambler then CG.  All he does is whine and whine about every play that goes against him, yet his mouth stays shut when plays go for him.  Its real old now scal.  The kid needs to find a less stressful occupation

Bad beats are part of gambling, every single gambler in the world has them.
If they drive you crazy to the point that you become a babbling idiot about them, then its time to find another career path or hobby.

Even if you win this game tonight, you could very well be the dumbest gambler on the planet.  Flat out dumb as a box of rocks.

You have zero handicapping skills and just pick games by whatever crazy thoughts pop into your head.

For you to just not care about the money, means mommy must be bailing you out with more cash when you run out.

The fact is that you make these bad losses worse by wagering the stakes that you do.

Random amounts that are way too big means that bad losses are worse.  You could easily absorb the bad losses, the bad months, if you bet reasonable and well thought out stakes.

But you don't - you simply guess - and therefore you cant withstand the bad runs.

It is your fault.  You did this.  Everyone has bad streaks and bad beats that seem like they wont end and are the sickest things they have ever seen.  The difference is that you will be knocked out by it, and if you were a professional, it would just be a blip.

Seriously CG, you are not trying to do this for a living, you are just trying to make "quick scores", you may as well take the 3k you took out today and go put it on Black on the Roulette Table or 1 hand of Blackjack. There is no need to wait 3 hours for a coin flip bet that you are making since you did ZERO capping on it.

CG, what did you get the line at? It looks like The Wynn still has it up at 7.5. Tell us you got that half run?
