Wow, I am 2-8 in my last ten, 7-13 in the last 20 --- and lucky to be hanging onto 11th spot, after climbing to 8. I am further behind the leaders though...by a ton. But seriously? 2-8? I don't think I've ever had a "Jack White" like that in this stuff...
Hah, I used to be good at this...I've got my head above water in actual real dollar wagering...not by much, but in the black....but then again, I used to follow it a lot closer...than I do now, and I bet more often now (albeit phony money). (this might explain the slump).
Appreciate the kudos! I went and looked at my picks profile and noticed I was better at ATS vs. O/U, and adjusted my wagering; I'm currently 50% with O/U and 65% ATS. Tonight I had UVA (covered) for $500 and the under (loss) for $200. Fits my betting profile. All the while I was out from watching the game and thinking I bet the over, sheesh.
Postnote: Watching Texas Tech clobber Texas, making our W against them that much more impressive.
I'm locked in for tonight. Trying to climb back into the black as part of my last-ditch effort to show my face in the Top-10 before season's end.
Does ACCT count for this contest? Or do we declare the winner this weekend?

I haven't made any bets in a long time, and have been dropping in the rankings quickly. I'm kind of ashamed to admit it but I'm bummed out and I'm struggling with my enthusiasm for this season after the loss to the cheats. Seeing us get destroyed by them in Cameron after losing Zion has had me in a huge huge funk, and losing to VT made it worse. I've avoided looking at the contest standings, figuring that I would pay the price for being a spoiled fan, and my only hope being that the folks above me would revert to the mean while I was away. Unfortunately for me y'all look like you're doing quite well, so I need to get over this. I'm hoping for a dramatic Zion reappearance followed by some vengeance this weekend. Probably too late to salvage a top three finish in this contest, but it would do my soul a world of good.
One more full round of games left in the regular season, then the tourney. I'm gonna play every game, every bet. Plenty of time to crash and burn.
I went 2-1 (+450) yesterday. I took Clemson (-4) over Notre Dame in today's action.

The Alert is over. Had this been an actual emergency, you would have been told which bookie to visit.

Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
What happened? I lost 3 bets last night and took the lead!!!??? Say it ain't so.
Or maybe I might bet a little! Or maybe a ton! Kinda like Zion's gonna play! Or Not! Dadgummit, I'm not sure, we'll just have to see. hate to be a tease.
not sure, yet. Bought a bunch of silver today, love it! I love to gamble! I don't have a big enough lead to not play, so...
There's one game tomorrow. Weird to have a Friday game.
Miami at VT. Haven't seen a line yet. Probably VT -10 points, O/U about 132. Just a guess.
