I think it is time Edward catches a break....

He deserves a good foul fest in this Depaul game to catch one for a change that we aren't supposed to.
Let's sweat this in boys and girls.

Any basket by Depaul in last 1:20 and you win...
Any shot attempt on final 2 possessions instead of 2 turnovers and you win just off of instinct foul on rebound.
Damn.
All Depaul had to do was just get a shot off. I'm telling you any shot on those last 2 possessions and we win.
Depaul pg is so damn selfish he couldn't stand to get rid of the ball without trying to do everything himself and turned the ball over both times at the end of the game.
Damn
100 points in first 25 minutes.
8 points in the next 8.5 minutes.
You just can't make this stuff up.
Unbelievable.
and now the Idaho St game after a 48 point 1H is going OVER as well...
Edward you need to go see a voodoo priest and get this jinx sweared off of you.
You are snakebit.
Sorry, it was a triple T, 6 free throws. Don't think I have ever seen that.
69 free throw attempts...Anyone know whats average for a college basketball game
About 41... this season only, about 42.
Needless to say, I've been my losing my ass the past 2 weeks or so, think I'm on about a 25u downswing.
For better or worse, after doing this for a decade, it's not the first time, and unless I retire soon, it won't be the last.
This is where I could make some logical, mathematical comments about variance like I normally do, but screw that, I'm pretty miserable at the moment. Even though I've been through it all, I still handle these streaks pretty poorly. It's just how I'm wired, I'm aware of it, so I do the best I can. They never prevent me from continuing to fire in what I consider +EV bets (like RAS releases) or using sound money management though. So react however you're wired to react, if you can take it in stride (probably easier if you're not a pro and/or have better coping skills than I) that's great and certainly healthier than how I react, but just make sure you don't let it get in the way of using sound betting strategies (i.e. proper bet sizing, not overreacting to short-term results, etc.).
I'm not sure if that was helpful to others or I was just venting, but it is what it is. Here's hoping the bleeding stops sooner rather than later! :toast:
same exact thing happened to me. Does your website start with "betc"?
I'm obviously pissed because anyone that can get down more on totals, than through typical sources, is betting more on totals than sides, and are losers this year on RAS plays. Therefore, I'm down with them and don't have a chance to continue to bet under the same "rules" as when I was getting my brains beat in. And what makes it even sicker is, they knew when they took me on that I played service plays, RAS particularly, and they said they would take any and all action regardless of the source as long as I was giving them a range of action on other stuff.
This is probably very typical of "locals" but has still found a way to get me pissed. I'm already on a timer with half my online sites, had reduced limits on some, and got cut off by another local earlier this year when RAS was up 25ish units and the guy was tired of buying me a new car every week.

In most cases, you don't. Not trying to be an ass or cryptic; that's the truth. In my experience, it varies by site, and trial and error is all I can recommend. There have been sites where I can/could get my bet in if I was quick enough even with the delay (mind you it wasn't a 45 second delay, probably more like 15), but in general, the delay often means "game over" and you have to try to find another out.
I've been talking to several people and we're all experiencing the same thing. Trying to get my local to accept NCAABB action as his lines are not dynamic at all, but I don't think he gets enough volume on Hoops to make it worthwhile. I also think that about 3-4 winning days would result in me being cut off...
The phoning in process on some of these sites is the same. They have your account flagged if you use RAS, it seems, and you get the phone equivalent of a 45 second delay on the phone as the lines reflect the releases & subsequent new lines.
Here are the results from last year with the game time line:
OVERALL 244-208 53.98% +15.5 units
Sides 128-122 51.20% -5.9 units
Totals 116-86 57.43% +21.4 units
+15.5 units instead of +61.10
So you are right, last year it was a winner regardless of release line or game time line, but that's a 46 units difference in results.
The obvious key ingredients are: fast internet, two monitors (larger the better), fast fingers, shrinking down the text size on your browser so you can fit more games on the screen, and setting up the auto-fill function so it's just a matter of clicking the mouse, typing bet amount (Ctrl+V), then hitting enter twice.
As we've all learned this year, even having the above does not guarantee success anymore. The most important factor is having a local or number of locals with slow PPH sites. Like the poster above, I've also been put on delay by one local's PPH service, which has made it worthless as an out. It's a shame too, as they were the slowest. The day RAS went 7-0, they were totally asleep at the wheel, leaving all the original lines up for a solid 30 minutes after release. Luckily I do have one local left who has a PPH site I can beat, but even a slight miskey or taking an extra 2 seconds finding the game will make me miss the number about 1 out of every 10 attempts. The manager at the PPH site has told my local about me, but the local is ok with it for now since I've been paying him so much money lately. If the worm turns (please, god, if you are listening) and things take a turn for the better, I'll be curious to see if he lets me keep doing my thing or if he cuts me off.
