Just thought it'd be a fun time to share some anti-bad beats.

I had Stanford -7.5 against USC in 2011. Stanford never led by 7+ at any point in regulation. Somehow the game goes to 3OT, Stanford gets the ball first in the third, has to go for 2, gets it and then stops USC to win by 8.

    Played a "lighting bet" when I was in college against a local to pay for our spring break trip. I took the over in a cbb game (can't remember which one) it goes to triple over time to go over by a mile. I win 1300$ and paid for me and my buddies spring break trip to cancun. I knew nothing about either team and bet the game anyway lol.

    Good topic.

    Financially speaking the Patriot cover last year in the Super Bowl. Everyone in the country thought Marshall Lynch would punch it into the endzone, myself included. We all know what happens from there.

    Sadly it's easier to remember the bad beats before the miracle covers.

    Definitely have had a few lucky covers but those don't stick to your memory as much as the unlucky losses :idoit:

    Last night Denver under 207 Total was 205 with 1:39 left and no more scores. They usually score 20 when I'm in that situation

    Been a rough start. Really don't understand a lot of the plays this year. I played Mason -2 pregame. Up 11 at half and I don't see the value to play 2nd half at a pick

    I had a hard time all day understanding who was betting mason. I was cracking some + 4 and + 3.5s and line dropped to 2 and then about 30 minutes to tip they came again on mason and line closed -3.5. At the half I will admit it looked bad. And the wizards just stopped playing D and couldnt make shot in the 4 q. Nice pick on charlotte -2 Hat

    Thanks Wraps. I thought it was a tough spot for the Wiz. Can not figure the 2nd half GM play.

    So far this year in NCAA hoops there has been very strange intra day moves on most lines which makes no sense at all. Value is presenting it self almost every day if your able to create good numbers.

    I may do it cause I can get all my credits back and pay for the whole year for H. Horrid results continue and I'll be doing that

    I really can't understand when we bet the 2nd half at a shit number and we lose. If we played the same full game we win. Makes zero sense and we have done it numerous times already

    It's getting old honestly. It's just so he can max full game limits and not have to worry about moving the line before release. Not gonna be logical though when there is no subscribers.

    How does that affect a 2h play?

    2h is a derivative of the game line and what's happened in 1st half.
