    true to my word, i didn't see a single snap of that game. but i saw the final score right before i went to sleep......at 1:30 am 😏

    haven't seen any highlights. but i think i'm good. i'd rather not feast my eyes on OSU whiffing on 3rd & 1 from IU's 5, whiffing on 4th & 1, then with a few minutes left in the game whiffing on 3rd & 1 from IU's 9 and following that up with a missed 27-yarder.

    when Ohio St kicked a field goal with 10:08 left in the 2nd quarter, they never scored another point. that is very difficult for me to fathom.

    only positive thing going for me this weekend is Stifler one stroke off the lead heading into today's final round. maybe he'll miss a 27-yard field goal on the 72nd hole?

    -4981.31

    Good Luck Brother

    you too my man!

    one last thing about that game. i am never swayed by the opinions of so-called pundits, but i'm always interested in what they have to say. i'd estimate that 95% of the predictions i saw were in favor of OSU, and the overwhelming majority of those covered the spread. but the line movement told a different story, and that made me nervous as hell. before i left to go out i checked it and $ was still coming in on Indiana right up until kickoff, as the line had been driven down to OSU -3.5. almost as if the whales had a predetermined vision of the #1 team in the nation getting inside the 10 two times in the second half -- one of which took place at the tail end of the game -- yet they somehow knew they would combust instead of housing one to win the game. sure enough, the Buckeyes couldn't get a single yard on three separate plays, the kicker missed a bunny, and that was that.

    that entire scenario drives me crazy. i'd rather lose a bet by 75 points than eat one with "someone knows something" at the forefront of my mind

    I got lucky with Burrow and Allen getting 250.a piece passing but what really made my day was cramming it in Draft Kings rear end by cashing out on my live bets with Baltimore, they got screwed with that TD by Likley so once they got the ball
    back I cashed out immediately and it was a good decision

    Was down about 240 so hit good in the green

    Got nothing going for the 4pm games yet

    All good brother, I feel. bad complaining after what you went through with OSU

    I just had to vent because the call was so absurd, my buddy and I are still in utter disbelief and violently angry

    First time in awhile I had nothing going on for the 4pm games, not a single bet.

    I pretty much quit gambling. I was going to the casino almost every Saturday, mostly playing table games. Occasional NFL bet. So as a regular once a week customer my rewards card was ‘trail blazer’ level.
    Remember this is Boot Hill casino.
    Hence the western theme. So a mid level card. So I was getting $50 free table play every weekly visit. Then that dropped to $25 and then to $10. I know they don’t have to give any free play but since they were that’s a pretty big drop off without my amount I was gambling dropping off any. So that ticked me off a little and also my interest in gambling was waning a lot anyway. The only thing I’ll really miss is some of the regulars they have. And they have really nice dealers. 👍

    Far as the NFL goes I have self induced my version of the " gov't shutdown".Luck and interest went South. But will regroup.
    Thought about making my play choices and $ would of bet, then not making the bets. This, to total the amount I saved by not betting all losing choices. If done it that way from the start of the season i' d be ahead of the game. But where's the fun in that.
    But as playoff season arrives the fever will return.

    Casinos in general don't really do a whole lot for us regular people, the Whales are the ones that are given the keys but for good reasons like the casino trying to keep them coming back to lose millions.
