Has anyone else noticed....or...

[Gookis]

has this been happening to anyone else? Now, I know this is gambling, and Vegas is good at what they do, BUT....I have seriously lost a game a night now by either .5 or 1 point for like 12 straight days! It started a couple of Thurs ago withh Illinois/Wisc in what everyone was bitching about, and has continued on a streak like I've never seen. Texas the other night, South Carolina last night (+1.5, and they lose 73-71). I know this happens all the time, but this has been crazy consistent!

Would have been 3-0 last night if not for S.C.

yes i've lost a few games this year by 1pt or 1/2pt. one that stick out to me was rider last week vs. manhattan rider -3.5 they win by 3.


I'm surprised that this early on the odds makers are so spot on in NCAA games. Normally they arent this strong. Typically i do well early in NCAA and so far its been a struggle for me.

This happens TWICE as often in NBA...

I'm talking all sports for me on this run. Seriously, 12 days in a row. I don't remember them all, but the ones I can come up with: Ill/Wisc, the next day (Friday) I had Clev in the NBA -7.5, they won by 7 in OT, the next day, had the N.E. over in foots of 51, and they pushed, Texas/OSU this week, Sout Carolina.....ugh....exhausting.

Im not going to tell you to get 4 or 5 books like some people have but try and get 1 extra place to get a better line if available...it does help

There have been numerous games where you win or lose by .5 this year. I have been on the losing end of just about every one of them. Rider and Texas are the most recent along with the Wisconsin you were talking about. On the winning side with Florida last night, but there have been several very very close games this year. Even Memphis last night giving 13.5 only won by 15.

Even more 1-2 nhl dogs have won outright then I ever remember as well. NBA dogs have been winning a lot more often as well.

Finally means there is some balance in the world and the public is not cashing nearly as many tickets this year.

It's amazing how close to the gactual game the oddsmakers usually are.....

MCP just gave you some great advice, and you'll notice the difference in your account after a while, when you relize what shopping a 1/2 to 1 1/2 can do....somwe times bigger differences....

sometimes big enough to middle and hit.....

we all go through the close game, back door cover, with that being said, I have noticed the last 10 days or so, I've lost quite a few by the hook/back door, or real close losses.....

Maybe it's cause I lost em I noticed em more.....kapt
