Sports betting is painful (HOU/STL)

Trying to whore a bonus and am going to end up losing money.

The Texans up 10 with less than a minute left plus 4 points for the spread and they lose.

Also got nailed with the Redskins. The NFL is RIGGED [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Holy crap.

This week has been brutal so far. I blew both of my teases within seconds of each other (SF/Ten u49 and StL/Hou u53). Ugh.

I'm glad someone else posted it so I could bitch about it also, lost both games with you.

Yeah, those were both brutal. I mean, in a sense you got it right, because a game that goes to overtime ends regulation with a score margin of 0. But sadly, the casino disagrees.

I was going to start a thread entitled "Houston Texans are dead to me" but I see you already started one.

Houston and Washington fiascos cost me 16 units. That was gross.

16 units means 16-unit swing, meaning I'd have won 8 units if the games played out like they should have; instead I lost 8.
Luckily for me, going into Sunday I was up 17 units (due in large part to my Falcons props [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])

I was so tempted to do a longshot Tradesports bet on the Rams at halftime but those bets are usually -EV. The one time there was some value, I didn't jump.
