Help me sweat this awful bet! I've been awake 36 hours and just made the dumbest bet of my life. Thought I found a massive scalp on the Rockets/Jazz game 7, Utah +225 to win the series, Houston +104 to win game 7. It wasn't until after I placed my entire roll on Matchbook (fortunately only about $600) on this before my head cut through the sleep deprivation to realize that the Houston bet was actually -5.5 +104. I figured out the -EV of this, and it's not too horribly worse than hedging, so I've decided to let it ride. If Houston wins by 1-5 points I'm cleaned out at Matchbook.

Feel free to either commiserate or mock me, but I need all the sweat, karma, and voodoo 2+2 can muster up. Starting now I'm going to drink like a bastard until I pass out from total exhaustion. I don't know if I want to be awake for this. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Stay awake, Utah's going to win SU so it won't matter.
