the Niners will be without their QB and top 3 wideouts tonight. and they are on the road. and they are playing one of the league's best teams. i need more exposure on that game, so i'm going to link it up with another ⚾️ tilt. if the Tigers and Indians clear 7 this afternoon, i'll create yet another 🏈⚾️ parlay with tonight's Crimson Hose - Yankme game for all the marbles
This is unusual I think. This is the Vikings 2nd overseas game in a row. A first? So with the time change adjustment I would think the Vikes have an advantage.

i'm going to give you guys an analogy. tonight's NFL game was the equivalent of being dealt pocket aces in a high-stakes cash game. the Rams -- who could have easily waltzed into the game undefeated -- found themselves playing at home against a team with the many of its best players in an infirmary instead of being in pads on the field. after mulling that tilt over for days, "how can the Rams possibly lose?" was all i could conjure up.
then that little voice spoke to me. "dude, i mean idiot, this is the NFL. not only is it possible, but it may likely happen in a vomit-inducing manner."
the game started and the Rams got punched in their mf mouths right out of the gate. 0-7, 0-14, 7-17 at half. making Mac Jones look like Joe Montana out there. at that point i wanted no part of a winning bet. i thought to myself, if i'm going conduct analysis that results in me parking money on a prohibitive favorite that pulls shit like that, then the only fate i deserve is to be drained.
then, just to f with me, LA decided to wake up. that game was begging for them to win it at the end, even when they absolutely had no business doing so. but it's almost as if the football gods said, you don't honestly think you're going to pull this one out after having the look of a team that could just show up, go through the motions and blow out a decimated Niners team out, do you? i think not. we're going to tease the ever-loving shit out of you by letting you get one yard away from putting the game on ice, and just when you think you're going to escape with a W you by no means deserved, there's going to be a big surprise for you.
think about it, not only did the Rams not win that game, but they didn't have the lead at any point. i'd love to know what that prop bet would have paid. i seriously would rather bet on a team that loses by 7 touchdowns than to ever go through that bullshit again
there i was with aces thinking i'm about to get stacked on a J-7-2 rainbow board, but little did i know that the dude re-raising the crap out of me was holding not one deuce, but two.

it really makes you think twice about unloading a lot of money on any game, which i was on the verge of doing with that one. going back to my poker analogy, sometimes in gambling you have to be able to dodge bullets and lose the bare minimum, and that's what i feel like i did. i only lost a benjamin total, but i wanted to park a hell of a lot more than that on the Rams. so in that sense i feel good. but ultimately it's not about how much i lost or even the simple fact that i did lose (i do it often).............it's HOW.
a part of me thinks i'm better served not watching any game i bet on. because now my Friday is going to be filled with flashbacks, and it's only going to ruin my weekend. lol to steve's point, the Rams tried their hardest not to win a game they were trying to win.
i think about Blake Corum dropping an easy toss from Stafford in the first half when they were on SF's 30, resulting in a fumble and turnover. i think about Kyren Williams dropping the easiest pass of his life with nothing but open space in front of him on a 3rd down (iirc), resulting in a punt and change of possession. i think about the extra point getting blocked. i think about the penalty on the punt at the tail end of regulation that moved the Rams back to their side of the 50 when they would have set up shop at the SF 30 with a chance to win. i obviously think about Kyren Williams about two feet from paydirt and a W, only for a Niner to club the ball out and recover it. and i think about the Rams getting back to the red zone on their final drive of the game, then stalling on 4th and 1 at the 10.
it's like, how many mother effing times can one team either not execute or make a mistake in one game. it really does get to a point when i no longer care about my bet and just want the team i moronically bet on to lose based on what my eyes are witnessing
btw sorry about the Sox man. i really wanted them to take NY out. i didn't see a pitch of that game because i was consumed with another ghastly spectacle, but i saw the score

You nailed it, this post is a good portion of the reason why I'm not playing big money bets on Sports anymore, yes I enjoy betting and accept the losses as I do the wins and when I lose it's never about the simple fact that I lost it's exactly "HOW" I lost that infuriates me more than anything, like if I bet the Pats and they get obliterated 35=0 or they just got beat by a better team and lost by 10 or something points but didn't do something ridiculously stupid to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory I'm 100/% ok with it.
But when a BS call by a referrer or moronic decision by some Asshat coach out coaching himself loses me a game it's infuriating to the point where I want to. smash things.
We all know players are players and will do stupid stuff like fumble or hit someone when they are 5 yards deep out of bounce,slip.and fall or do other idiotic stuff and we accept that part of it but it's still infuriating.
Again putting big money up in hopes that the referees call a good game, coaches won't be retarded and players will play to the best of their ability is just not a reasonable and smart thought process.
It's fun for sure but mind numbing and diabolical at times as well.
btw sorry about the Sox man. i really wanted them to take NY out. i didn't see a pitch of that game because i was consumed with another ghastly spectacle, but i saw the score
All good, they had their chance in game 2 and decided to not show up for game 3
I'm just pissed I fell for believing in them more than my lost bet/s
I was fortunate (?) not to view the debacle of a performance by the Rams. I do not have prime TV. So was spared the aggravation. Had a few of these type of defeats over the years. These are the ones you remember,sometimes more than a great win.
Could not resist watching a video recap of the proceedings.
To quote a movie titled "There will (was)Be Blood". The loss.

I usually just follow the games that I'm interested in, on the ESPN scores website, and it tracks the progress of the games on there. If the game is becoming interesting, most teams have a local radio broadcast, and it's easy to find on the internet. Just google the team name, and the words radio or audio and it usually pops-up first or near first on Google search.
In fact I enjoy the Eagles games much more this way than the TV broadcast. I can listen to Merrill Reese and Mike Quick, and get work done, or do other things while listening to the game.
These days usually the video highlights are available quickly right after the game or even during the game, if I care to go back and view it.
I probably watched that same last few minutes recap of the Rams game that you did. Which was available on Youtube not too long after the game was over.
I think the sports betting-poker analogy is a good one. IE you can do everything right, and still lose the bet.
I realize this doesn't help any, but it's obvious that the Rams ML was by far the right wagering decision. Sadly the Rams screwed it up.
Doyle once said, "It's not about winning or losing, it's about making the right decisions." Yes all-in with pocket aces pre-flop, if you feel the opponent is going to call, is always the right decision. But of course even 2,7os can crack it.
I think there is only one exception to that rule, and I wouldn't mind one day to be in this predicament. You're playing in the WSOP, you and another opponent by far are ahead of everyone else and have by far the highest stacks. And it's a bubble hand. You're basically "almost" assured of reaching the final table. Well you're dealt pocket aces and that opponent goes all-in. What do you do? If you get beat, you lose everything with no money, and no final table which is usually a minimum 1 mil payout, I think. Versus if ya win the hand, you're almost assured of a good chance of winning a bracelet. Yea, it's easy to say now that you have to call. But frankly, I think I would fold, be relatively assured of winning a mil, and getting to the final table with a big stack, and then try to outplay that opponent there.
One nice thing about the live betting these days. And of course hindsight is always 100% accurate. But when the Rams tied it at 23-23 I think I would have considered cashing out, even for a small loss.
One thing I've noticed while closely following this computer chit since the start of last years football season. Is when a team is far behind, and then miraculously ties up the game, they almost always lose in overtime.
I think the reason is they use so much adrenaline and energy to get the game tied up, that they run out of gas. Then after a short break, to then resume play in overtime, they've got nothing left, and they get beat.
That's what I've observed but admittedly, it's only a small sample of maybe 5 or 6 games that I followed, and every one turned out as stated.

Only action at stake now is need the Tigers to advance. Best of luck to my fellow Compadre's.

is anyone else experiencing distorted images when viewed from a phone now?
all of a sudden the attachments in this thread are completely wonky on my end and difficult to read
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
Yes, same here.
From my PC, the images are "compacted" around 1/2 size.
The text is normal.
I just looked at DD's thread. All his photos are the same "compacted" way.
I just checked the coin forum pics - same chit.
Yep I tried to reload my last post several times and it's the same compacted look
PSA updated the forums today. They continue to do great work.
Putting the squeeze on us all.
Geezuz i need readers to see our bet's now
Why is SF smashing the Rams?
Maybe because 99% of the country loaded up on LA???
Yup.
I grade the pics a PSA 2.
The first half was for the books. The real game commences in the final 3 minutes.

I fixed my post lol meant to say everyone loaded up. on the Rams obviously
Pretty damn good description for the last night

San Francisco was without their QB1, WR1, WR2, WR3, TE1, and their best pass rusher last night
the more i think about it, the more amazed i am that i only lost 100 bucks
i basically folded aces on a J-7-2 rainbow flop, when i normally jam to aggression on such a board
there is a silver lining
