Quote: FleaStiffSports must be easier than horse racing. In a horse race, you have to fix it so that ONE out of EIGHT wins, but in any sports event, the fix will be in for only ONE out of TWO possibilities.
NASCAR, 1 out of 43. Funny thing is, that's where my biggest win came from ;)
Quote: WatchMeWinThe biggest win I've ever had was the day I decided to quick betting sports games! Why risk your money on people who dont give a shit about you or whether or not they cover the spread. Whether the football crossed the goal line in the last second of play to determine an over/under win worth X amount of dollars? C'mon mon! It took me 10 years to figure that out but Ive save hundreds of thousands of dollars since. I consider that a huge win! I'll continue to make my money on the poker and craps tables only... and that is consistant with knowledge, management and discipline.
I'm going to bet most (most...) athletes could care less about the spread and more about winning/losing. Why is it that you feel victimized when the team kneels it inside the 5, instead of trying to cover the spread with a FG?
I feel the real problem here is that you are gambling and expect to win in the long run. Good luck at the poker table and craps table, but realize that craps tables exist to take money from you, and poker tables rake from everyone. The only way you are going to win at a poker table is by taking someone else money, which I'll admit, I do, but it doesn't mean I don't sometimes feel bad doing it (I had quads the other day, while the other guy had top full house...seing a guy lose $800 kind of nullifies the effect of winning $800ish dollars)...
I always thought that was part of the fun!Quote: Triplell..seeing a guy lose $800 kind of nullifies the effect of winning $800ish dollars...

If the guy is a real prick, or a snobbish douchebag, or anything else that gets on my nerves, I'll admit, I don't mind. This guy was rather nice, however, and it kind of sucked that he just got matched up against me when I happened to catch a monster hand...

Juan Pablo Montoya on any road course is probably a good bet, I imagine.
