Disgusting.

Toronto should be stripped of their franchise.

Mofos didn't even show up for the 4th quarter.

I wasn't around for the game, but just reading that thread just now hurt a little.


Next time, fold preflop.

As I just posted in another thread, I only followed this game last night for a system-related play (both GS -6 for game & Under 213.5).

When I saw at halftime the score:

1Q 2Q Halftime
Tor 21 41 62
GS 28 28 56

I was like, oh blast, both looks like bad losses... as it's 118 points in 1st half alone plus GS being down 6 (instead of being UP 6 or higher!). I know what I felt at that time. I don't know why the gambling gods made the 2nd half turn the tables on us (even if I did get on the winning side, I don't feel as good knowing this could have easily been the other way around). Best of luck in the future-- and the tables will turn back to you!

Thanks for your well wishes Calvin. I seem to have very extreme turbulent luck. It's not uncommon for me to lose 9 or 10 solid poker hands in a row (AA, KK, AK etc...) so it's not surprising at all that Toronto played like grade school kids in the 4th. I don't mind losing, but just not in that way. I almost feel like had I bet Golden State, then Toronto would have dominated the 4th...

A few days off from gambling will do me a world of good.

I get near $800 in rake on Monday. Then I'll play solid TAG poker and grind another $800 rake over two or three days. Then I'll take another shot ...

But what are the odds I lose every shot I take? I'm 0 for 9 so far.

If i just grinded away, I'd be far better off.

Gotta curb the gambler in me...

My advice is stop donking in sports betting until you learn more about basic concepts such as juice.

I'm sure I come across as a jerk, and I don't wish for you to lose these bets, but you'd be more likely to win if you educated yourself on this stuff a bit.
