To Break my streak


Bills -1 1/2 -108
Tenny + 1 1/2 +106

Basically lose a little or break even

Best way to get a W going into the weekend

I believe this is why we have this emoticon:

[jjgold]

Mudder I know what I am doing here

I go into tomorrow with a W and gambling is all streaks.

It's ok JJ I did the same only took Under 169 in the Puerto Rico/Argentina Fiba basketball game and took over 165 at another book. Looking to middle this game.

I feel your pain. Tonight, I have StL+7x and Oak+7x in different teasers. It can really tear a guy apart.

Playing Both Sides To Same Game

Coach- I love do this and watch the game on TV. You can root for your teams.

does anyone know the statistics on middling? just want to know if there is any documented success failure rate.

Why not? Gambling is 50% psychological.

[raiders72002]

90% of gambling is 1/2 mental.

[raiders72002]

[homedog]

nice work coach

You are a genius. Keep it up.

[onlooker]

So, did this work for you JJ? You back on track tonight?

[RickySteve]

does anyone know the statistics on middling? just want to know if there is any documented success failure rate.

73.56% in NCAA football.

68.77% in NFL.

45.81% in Major League Lacrosse.

[Mudcat]

Those are some interesting numbers.

[RonPaul2008]

So you took a play and later decide you didn't like it and took a small lass/no gain instead?
Otherwise it makes no sense.

No RP, that's not what we're talkng about at all. And the subsequent talk of middling or having opposite teams in teasers is also entirely beside the original point.

JJ gave away money and took both sides so he would know something - anything - would win. Apparently he loses a lot and he feels that having a WIN - any win - in this game will directly effect the outcomes of future games he bets on.

[remmy358]

if you do $5 on each side, who cares about losing pennies?

i understand where people are coming from when saying "it's a guaranteed loss"...if a win increases his confidence it may help him to think better when picking future games, and may stop the chasing...it's physcological...if it works..then do it.

[BuddyBear]

Coach understands that gambling is as much psychological as it is emotional. He knows what it takes to be a long-term winner so I would not question his techniques and motives. Picking a winner tonight will help him get going and probably help him sleep a bit better.

Congrats again Coach keep up the good work....

[pokernut9999]

Makes no sense at all, how are you a winner? you lose juice regardless. Bunch of nonsense. Really see no way how that dictates your next plays.

[raiders72002]

Coach knows what he's doing. He was in a slump and by picking that winner his win percentage went up for the week. Now he's ready for a hot streak.

[pokernut9999]

yea I see it worked well today

[jjgold]

I took the winner side and counted it as my last bet so then going into the next day I was 1-0. DOes anyone see this logic?

[numptie]

No. It seems strange to give away EV to get a confidence boost.

[RonPaul2008]

Ditto. If you want a sure winner then find a positive scalp...
