Last two weeks have torn me a new A-hole

Gang Ive been gambling for over 20 years. I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt these last two weeks have been the worst Ive ever had. The ncaa and nfl are basically unpredictable, whether your a square or a sharp makes no difference. Anyone else get torn up like me. If not tell me your secret!

HB,

I've been doing pretty well with college football on Saturday's but giving it back with the NFL on Sundays. Seem to be on a roller coaster, I'm really happy on Saturdays. Pretty bummed on Sundays. Hope it gets better tonight!

There's just a lot of bad football. If you could chart earned touchdowns (created by offense) against give-away touchdowns (mistakes by defense), the give-aways would be way above average this season. Last night was a perfect example. NYG miss the FG, then stopped playing. What's up with that?!

I've said it before; the NBA mentality has overpowered the NFL. Giants are taking jumpshots... Excuse me? Basketball after a tackle? Why pay tribute to a lesser sport..? Tiki Barber realizes that football is relative, and I can just see the ripple effect on younger players minds. "It's just a game, you know..." I look at the Cardinals yesterday and they've given up. They don't care. Leinart's body language tells it all.

Football used to be war. For sixty minutes nothing else existed. Now it's just another game.

NFL has always been a bitch for me... Baseball is my Fav.

I only dabble with small bets in both NFL and NCAA FB, I cannot believe I used to bet 4 figures on them.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck HB. I too had a bumpy road last year in the NFL over a couple of week streach. You just gotta keep grinding it out is all.

MNF - Keyshawn flopped to get a 15 yard penalty. Lost all respect for him. Like I said, NFL is turning into NBA.

That was... well... lame.

I'm glad they made a point of highlighting it, anyway. He deserves plenty of bad press for that.

i've been hot in NCAAF and cold in NFL. It's almost comical at this point.
Last weekend's results:
NCAAF: 6-1 +11x
NFL: 1-4 -9x
