Tuesdays Results

On Tuesday at the sportsbooks I had a losing record but I made a profit. Well it wasn't much of a profit, and actually it probably wasn't even enough to pay for my gas to go to the Boulder Station and then to Sam's Town and then back to Boulder Station. In the NBA the Heat was an easy winner but I lost the Cavs/Nets game over as the Nets could only score 30 points in the 2nd half after soring over 50 in the 1st half. In the NHL I won my best bet with Calgary winning easy. In my other 2 bets I had the Lightning and the under. After Florida made it 3-0 I was hoping there would be no more scoring so I could at least win the under. TB made it 3-1, then 3-2 early in the 3rd period. With under 3 minutes to go in the game it was still 3-2 and I thought my chances for the under was still good. Well just then Tampa Bay scored to make it 3-3. With that goal I lost the under but now I have a chance to win my side bet on Tampa Bay. No such luck as Florida wins the game in a shootout. In that game the Lightning had 52 shots on goal but only managed to score 3 goals.

I had another bad day at Fantasy Sports Live and even though I want to win but I have been losing I have so much fun playing there. It makes watching the games so much more interesting. Rather than just watching for the final score you watch every play to see if your players did anything regardless if the game is close or a blowout. I am still showing a profit overall and each day I am learning something new that hopefully will help me to get back on another big winning streak. I made a profit in 13 of my first 14 days at FSL and since then I can't seem to put together back to back winning days.

NBA 1-1 lost -$20
NHL 1-2 won +25
total 2-3, but a profit of $5

FSL
heads up 1-2, lost -$17.50
six player 0-2, lost -$44
total lost = -$61.50
