Home Forums The Asylum Shoot The Breeze Bad Beat Or Bad Year ?

Im coming off my worst NCAAB run in 20 years. Maybe I start putting my plays in picks section for fade?

It used to be my best sport. I had 3 straight winning years and certaily more winning years than losing the last 15. I read the screen well. I have multiple outs . Mostly locals with PPH that move slow. beat the closing number frequently.

In 2 months I had at least 5 unders nailed only to go to overtime. I dont play many OVERS so I dont see that swinging back.

Same thing. At least 5-7 underdogs getting between 5 and 10 points and that force overtime only to get smoked the extra 5 min. I dont play Faves so that aint coming back.

I cant count how many games I was looking good and my squad goes into a shell to close out the game.

Multiple games without a FG the last 3 min. I never seen anything like it. Those things happen. I have seen it all. Just not this much in one year.

FYI I only play 5-10 games a week.
I took a 4 day break and Im rolling up my sleeves for Saturday.

. Good Luck.

NCAAB is super tough to beat. Heck any sport is tough to beat but even more so with Covid. It's a totally different environment and you can't count on teams to hold leads home or on the road. In your case it's a rash of bad beats one after another and just a bad streak more than anything. There are games you will win or have won, you shouldn't have won and in the end it's a balance act but never feels that way.

You did the right thing by taking a step back and letting it go for a few days. Not sure of your bankroll or bet sizes but scale it back until you feel you're back into the groove. The biggest mistake guys make is to chase after losing and lose more and then find themselves broke or in a hole they can't dig out of.

Post your plays in the daily Bet The House thread. Luck will turn around for you, just be patient.

This day has been crazy nuts, well it started last night with Saint Marys... Then ASU today and now this in the NHL, 2 seconds for the Win, now who knows gotta seat OT

The good news is a couple of them straight mitigated the damage... But the last leg of a 5 teamer is still a bad beat...

Ok, I gotta vent. We've all had em. Bad beats, bad calls, bad luck, bad bets. Many years ago, I stopped betting full game sides in hoops because, in my mind, free throws could screw a good handicap on a game. Ive tempered that some, and do bet a fair amount now. But the last few days? The utter disgusting feeling overcoming your entire being after being gut punched by your ex as she cashes your check. Last night, Hawks team total was 112'. Didnt like that number, but thought a live bet at 107' seemed reasonable. 0:10 to go, Atlanta has 106 pts. Trae Young, a 90% FT shooter, goes to the line. Misses. They land on 107. Lost by the hook. Damn it. Today, Mavericks +5'. Down 4. Gee, 0:10 left yet again. Donovan Mitchell goes to the line. A 75% FT shooter. Drains both. Lose by the hook. Grizzlies, 1H Team Total Over 62'. 1 second to go and they have 61 pts. Kyle Anderson goes to the line. Not a great FT shooter. Makes only one, and they land on 62. Lose by the hook. EMMMM. EFFERRR.

Those are some tough beats indeed in a very short period. Hopefully you get some breaks that go your way soon!
