The betting zone

I know some of us have played some sports at some level through the years. Was never a great player, but did have some games when I felt like I was in a zone where it seemed like every pitch I made or every shot I took was going to be successful

Have you ever been in the betting zone, good or bad? It seems like sometimes when things are going good, it doesn't matter what sport you are capping, that you seem to get all the breaks. And when things are bad, all the calls and late BS goes against you

There is nothing like the adrenaline rush when you get a late goal, TD, basket to cover some bet you didn't think you would get

Good feeling when you are in the zone beit capping games or winning games. One of the main reasons why people stick around.

Walked into an OTB place in Louisiana with 20 bucks once just to check it out.
Ended up winning everything I bet. I even went to call my girlfriend and ran out of time for the next race and just ran up to the window right before post and said, ahhh, $5 tri box 123 without even looking at it, and hit it for a $500 payout.
Unreal...
Walked in with $20, walked out with over a grand. Greatest 3 hours of my gambling life.
Not a huge amount of money, but for a broke college kid it was AWESOME!!

Never been able to duplicate that.

Mine was about 6 years ago....hit 23 bets in a row, many dogs in that too and nothing steeper than -130. Have come close to beating it a few times since, but never been able to duplicate that either.
