on handicapping college games and focus on the pro's. An unbelievable 1-4 today, and all but one of the losses were amazingly tough to take. Maybe I should stop wasting so many hours capping the fuking games and just flip a coin or quit altogether. Check this sheet out:

Wake -2 : Demon Deacons go into halftime up 27-10, are leading by 3-10 points throughout the 2nd half, and lose late. This despite the fact they are at home, and they are a running team, which usually means you have a better shot at holding on to the lead. Look at these freaking stats:


Team Statistics
VIRGINIA WAKE FOREST
First downs 18 29
Rushed-yards 27-49 68-349
Passing yards 349 146
Sacked-yards lost 1-1 1-3
Return yards 15 3
Passes 24-30-0 13-24-0
Punts 4-37.8 5-29.6
Fumbles-lost 3-1 2-0
Penalties-yards 9-65 6-49
Time of possession 24:36 35:24

ARE YOU FCKING KIDDING ME!? Wake dominated every aspect except passing, did not turn the ball over once, commited less penalties, racked up 349 rushing yards, yet lose. Look at the time of possesion! How do they blow a 17-pt lead, when there were no turnovers and when they were running the ball well? How does this happen?? Anybody see this game?

349-to-49 in rushing yards. I lost, yet I dont feel I coulda capped a game better than this one.

-Meantime, UTAH (-9) goes up 23-6 at the half andloses SU because of fumbles and penalties.

-And finally, Akron (+10) goes up 14-0 for a nice 24-point cushion, is winning at the half, and manages to lose by 17.

Sorry , had to vent, sometimes this shit just blows my mind ...
:confused: :( :mad:

I know exactly what you mean.................Every since the first week of the season when TCU blows 15 pt lead with 5 minutes to play catching 4 points and then lose by 6 in ot...........I cant tell you how many times I have been backdoored in the past month. They always say things will even out but this is getting crazy.

Keep your head up Jeff

Keep your head up Jeff

We've all went through these phases where we wonder whether the capping makes any difference at all. During those tough times, I like to take some time off and regain my CONFIDENCE by trying to hit some small plays. It's really amazing how after a few small wins, those crazy losses don't seem to happen anymore for awhile.

Good luck in the NFL tomorrow.

Jeff:

You have some talent. I've enjoyed your posts.

We all have our confidence shaken at times. Take some time off, play paper bets for a while, until you feel ready to get back into the saddle.

Bottom line, play gms where you feel like it's going to be profitable. If that's pros right now, stick to that.

GL, man. Catch u later.

Thanks for the words fellas, I;m not really one to wallow in self pity but college FB has kicked my ass the last few weeks. Hours and hours of handicapping and ... wll you get the point already. It's not like this is the first -- Or will be the last -- time this has happened.

Dimedaddy- A brew sounds pretty good actually. Someone's gonna take a pounding tomorrow in NFL and it better be my book.
