Became legal a week ago. I am 0-8 on bets. Only $50 but damn. I will place a bet on each team ISU plays in the tournament. The cyclones are guaranteed to win. lol.

You could quit, but "studies" show that you are probably a bet away from your first big win! Also, if you are trying to quit, do not under any circumstances google what a parlay is!

lol. I’m just glad I’m not really into that stuff. Put $50 in and got my bonus bets. Placed all my bonus bets on today’s games. If luck doesn’t change, I’m done.

Just pledge to donate an amount equal to your losses to WE WILL. Then you can feel good about doing something beneficial with every loss.

What kind of bets are you making? If you are doing a bunch of parlays you are going to lose your ass. If you are 0-8 against the spread you just have really bad luck.

I did 1 six bet parlay. Stupid bet but took a flyer for $5 that would have paid like $300. I did one in game bet. The rest were all against the spread. I have always said, if it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck.

Well, if you want to bet trends in the tournament bet the under and bet on underdogs. The under hit at 75% in the first round last year. It's not exactly a "fun" bet to make, because who wants to watch a game where you are rooting against teams scoring, but there is a good chance it would pay off.

I actually heard someone on the radio say this. They think it is something about the new balls they use in the tournament. I watched that disaster of a game that was CU vs BSU last night where I had BSU +3. It set basketball back 50 years.

Is this the March madness sports betting thread?

anyone noticed that I think BYU was -10.5, now they’re only -9. I wonder if there’s any significance there.

Was this a Fran interview on the radio?

But there were a lot of bunnies missed in that game. Wonder if the ball is bouncing more and is more likely to come off when not perfect.

I don’t remember who it was. It was a gambling guy though. He said that the new balls they bring out during the tournament bounce more.

It's OK to gamble.

It's not OK to be a bad gambler.

Have your tried scratchers? At least you can buy a Mt Dew and make an event out of it.

I only bet parlays if the sports book is offering a no risk promo. Then if I lost and get the free bet I only bet that on a game I would normally bet on.

It sounds like you're having a tough time with betting so far. Since betting just became legal, it might take a bit to get the hang of it. If you're betting on each team ISU faces, try checking out some betting trends for the tournament. They might give you some useful tips. You can also check out some articles about betting, like https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=2146415590 . It should help you understand the principles more.
