Interesting night. Checked a game. Around the 3rd quarter, decided to make a spread bet on second team +5.5. Decided to watch Netflix to pass the time because why not. Flipped back to the app to check how the game was going and it was the 4th quarter. Saw the spread. First team was winning. Go figure. Questioned “why?”. Then I realized two key players was out! “Rookie mistake” I told myself. Didn’t check who was playing and made assumptions. Around 5 min left of the game left. Spread was widening and time was ticking. Let’s just say I tried to keep my cool but the spread widened more. Decided to cash out. Lost half the bankroll. Felt nothing. Checked the spread again. Decided to put it all on the first team -8. Tapped and confirmed. Baskets and fouls were exchanged between the two teams. Fast forward, it’s the last min of the game. Spread was 9 then the opposing team scored. 7 now. Last minute of the game and a basket goes in. Game ends. 115-106. 9 point spread between the Bucks -8 and the Lakers. Got the bankroll back with +11% return.

Lesson learned. Tomorrow will be parlays. Extremely small since odds are insane and I won’t have time to monitor the games. Planning to go swimming. Anyways, calling it a night. Got work tomorrow. Gn.
