TheSloth Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 This weekend summed up everything I hate about pro-line.I had a winning ticket (just $25) if Dallas covered the spread. Problem is I fucking hate Dallas but I still watched almost every moment of that brutal game. It was fucking garbage (at least 3 quarters were, if you're a GB fan I'm sure you got some pleasure out of the 4th). Flags on almost every play, just terrible, terrible football. But I still hung on and cheered for my most hated team. That's one problem with pro-line. Roy Williams'dSecond ticket, first three picks are winners and I'm looking at $65 if Indie wins by 4. I kind of hate indie (mostly just everything Manning, though he is great) and I enjoy Patriot football. So the Patriots are killing them and I don't give a fuck about the 65 bucks because I'm loving it. The second the Patriots kicked that field goal to go up to 34 points and I start doing the quick math and realize if Indie comes back that field just killed my 4 points spread. Then I watched in horror as it all went down.Painful weekend of gambling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peipunk Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 This weekend summed up everything I hate about pro-line. Yes, but you love to hate it don't you, don't you? I had a winning ticket (just $25) Oh, they're all winning tickets at some point, I have "had" lots this year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSloth Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 The point I was trying to make wasn't that I lost, it was that the potential for winning puts one in the unenviable and whore-ish position of rooting for teams you despise. But yes the pain is part of the joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSloth Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Vince Young legs and a multitude of Houston personal fouls won me $25 last night with SD and KC also covering the spread. Only down -30, I'm almost back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 The Colts did me in on Sunday. Damn Santi, fumbling the ball on the 2 yard line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Well 2009 wasn't the success it should have been. Got caught trying to bump up too many bets with ties and wore my sissypants when picking upsets- I should have followed my jambands.ca picks.Down $105 on the season, including a couple of hockey tickets thrown in to hedge some football losses. Chasin is never a good idea.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I finished the season up $45. I won $25 on the last week to bump up my total. There were a few weeks late in the season I did not bet because I had absolutely no clue what was going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
