Dont feel too bad. I lost 1700 on the early soccer games, only to put it all on the line on MSU and their +8.5. Left at half seeing them down by 11 or so, figured it was over. Came back from my bball game to see they covered. Went on tilt a bit yesterday. ;)

I spoke too soon, I have 5823 now, over my original 5670 - but it's all luck. I'll lose it all, I lost a lot of potential money in the soccer games, too. Hockey's my worst.

nothing like a day of losses to make you come back and bet bigger....

@Microwahevo @HammerDown - when the new sports book went online was getting alerts about all new events. This ended shortly after. I went to the sportsbook and see a tab "watched catergories" that has a pull down menu that says enable alerts but doesnt seem to do anything. any help?

What is the rating system you see when you look on your wagers system? I have a 4/1/0 right now.

BTW, I lucked out today that Oregon State needed to miss the last free throw on purpose. Now, I will have ~$7700 instead of the $100 it shows right now.

That doesn't have anything to do with the wagers system. As its label says, it's "ratings received" for your posts, not your wagers. It's the ratings you get from people clicking on the little icons at the bottom right of posts (like, dislike, facepalm, chill, funny, winner, etc.).

Thanks, I only saw that when I was betting my vCash. Thanks. When I lost a bunch, I was wondering why I didn't get dinged there. When I won a bunch, I thought I saw it go up. It was actually just someone liking one of my posts.

Bwah...they make 24-hour chips???

I'm shooting for that "biggest loser" crown, but I can only seem to lose in increments of 200$ or less. I can't even get it up (har har) to over a grand first.

Yeah was watching that game and Man City looked like shit.

Cool I got Iowa State! At least one of us will win.

Since I had little to lose, I bet on Burnley and a draw.

used to go when i was in florida....totally agree with your assessment. not much of a selection but low prices. jersey laws are more fucked up than in ny. they couldnt even sell booze in any costco until a year or two ago. if my timing is right i usually pick something up there otherwise just as easy to hit the big local booze seller.
