Gambling Thread

Considering FDU was 20/1 and you get all four of them …

 

It had to happen sooner or later. The Westwood One announcer identified a rebound as belonging to FIU.

 

Someone remind me to never bet over/unders again. That was stressful and eventually unsuccessful! (145.5, ends at 148)

 

Unders in all tourney games (NCAA, NIT, CIB) hit 72% the first week.

 

Yeah, I should have added some context to my bitchfest . I knew that'd be the only leg to not hit on my four-leg parlay (FDU to cover, Miami & Gonzaga ML). Wouldn't have made me rich but certainly would have put a good capper on a pretty good weekend.

 

Is forgetting what you've bet on normal? Or is it the gambling equivalent of getting blackout drunk?
I cashed in a couple of winning NCAA Tournament tickets at the casino today, and reinvested the modest winnings into a couple more bets. Among them was a three-team women's basketball parlay for tonight. I saw the Miami-Indiana score and got bummed, because all day I thought I'd foolishly taken Indiana to cover a fairly large spread (I think it might have been 14 points). Then I went and checked the ticket and saw that Indiana was not on there.
Woo-hoo!
Bad news is two of the other three legs (Baylor +15 vs. UConn and Duke -7 vs. Colorado) look to be in serious trouble late.

 

In the realm of brutal beats, having Miami winning the race to 10, go up 9-2, then give up a 9-0 run that included two missed free throws is right the fuck up there. Goddammit

 

Chased it with the over 158.5 before halftime. If these fucks don’t score nine points combined in the next four minutes I’m setting the fucking building on fire.

 

The building is safe

 

This one's for @Cosmo: If I have to watch Jim Larranaga make the Final Four, I'm gonna make money on it. Hit a SDSU ML, Miami ML & Mia/Tex O147.5 parlay. Because if anyone knew what was gonna happen today, it's me.

 

I wound up putting futures bets on five teams — Alabama, UCLA, Gonzaga, Kansas and Tennessee. It did not go well.
