...and my gambling career is over now

Wow.
1-5 ATS in the playoffs and most of the games weren't even close.
Lots of heartbreaking BIG losses like the Colts not converting a 2nd and 2 to win that game, and the Titans bumbling away their game yesterday.
Then I had games like today's Giants/Eagles and last week's Falcons/Cardinals that weren't even close.
What a shitty 2 weeks of gambling. Thanks Florida for making my run a little longer, but still ultimately meaningless.
Now hopefully I will stop gambling because obviously after these past 2 NFL seasons where the #6 seeds make the fricking Super Bowl and 8-8 or 9-7 "Division winners" easily advance to the Championship games, nothing is normal anymore.
I had a couple of really good seasons - especially the 2004 season when New England beat Carolina in the Super Bowl. I called Carolina beating the Rams and Eagles straight up and just cleaned up that season. Nice, clean upsets. Nothing unreal like what we've seen this season and last season.

I feel ya man, but I took mcnabb scoring a rushing td prop bet and won on that and took the moneyline and won.also took the 7-12 spread and won that. the eagles have/had a much better team than the giants IMHO.
Hopefully the chargers can make me some more money.

I just don't see how you can discount 17 weeks of the regular season when the Titans and Giants were the best, THEN they had 2 weeks off, AND they played at home, AND they were severely disrespected by Vegas by being underdogs (Titans) and favored by 1 point (Giants) after you factor in the 3 points for home field.
Congrats on your wins though - I just didn't see either of those coming.

But where will you get that rush from?

3 words for you my man
Fade the Public.
I thought Carolina would beat AZ, but didn't like laying 10. All these guys at the bar where talking about how much they love Carolina and were pounding them, 1 guy was taking Carolina 1Q, 1H, and game. I slipped out and placed a bet on Arizona +10.

Trap bet written all over it.

there was nothing "trap" about the Titans game.
They should have won by 13 points.
And I didn't bet on Carolina. I didn't touch that game.

I went 4-0 last weekend and look to go 1-1 this weekend (if Pittsburgh keeps it up.

I went 5-2 yesterday and realized it was my night when the arizona carolina game went under for me

Im sitting at 7-1 and my only loss was last week when I picked against the Super Chargers!

Obviously it was. You have to wonder why a team who lost 2 fricking games all season would be underdogs AT home.

I'm on a nice run of 8-1 over the last week and have doubled my bankroll (it was getting low). I'm just doing one/two bets a day and in most cases just fading the public. Tonight's was the 155 point under for TN Martin v SE Missouri St. I couldn't name either mascot but it seemed like an easy bet and it paid off.

I took Baltimore +3.5 right before kickoff

I have no idea. I didn't bet the games. I'm just going by what Alejandro said. Maybe I misunderstood his post???

BetUs - want me to refer you so I get monies off of your deposit?

I'll let you know if I sign up. I think I should put my infinite sports knowledge to use and start betting.

That would make more sense. Again, my comments are all based on Alejandro's post:

BTW, that Carolina game last week was some of the easiest money I've made in a while. In the playoffs you throw those records out the window and look at how they've done recently. The Cards beating the Falcons coupled with Delhomme's inherent shittiness made those 10.5 points an easy bet.
