Well that sucked, huh? Was that not one of the worst Super Bowls you've ever seen? "My team" was in it, too. I can't imagine watching that game with no vested interest. Even the commercials were awful. I can't remember a single one, except that atrocious Jurassic Park fakeout and the Redfin commercial where all the White people were cartoonishly racist and evil and everyone else was Good and Nice and Great. So like every other commercial on TV I guess.
The actual game was just brutal to watch, and I had SEA to win. The PATS looked like a high school team. How they just let Wil Campbell get run over all fucking night is a mystery to me. But whatever.
Betting wise it was pretty bad. I made out good on the actual game, turning my Pats futures into a big SEA free roll. Props got crushed though. It was the first SB in my life where I lost on cross sport props. Most of my .5 and .75 unit plays won and I think every single prop over 2 units lost. It really is so deflating to lose money on the SB. In years past, the shear volume would almost guarantee I came out ahead. Not the case this year. I think I can really, finally, officially, close the prop chapter in the book of my life for good. I really don't think I have an edge anymore, even on Super Bowl props. And that's ok. The teaser/hedging/alt spread bets do good enough for me. I'm not gonna go down this road again though as it's something I've discussed to death.
I don't even have it in me to do a unit count on what I posted, to be honest. I lost about 6 units total on the game and won over 6 units on all my straight bets, so you can do the math. That two point conversion at the end of the game was a good, final, kick in the nuts.
And I don't know if I'm just turning into an old man in real time or what, but what the FUCK was that halftime show?! It truly felt like a humiliation ritual. Like they're shoving our fucking noses in it now. But at the same time, Kid Rock lip-synching and Turning Point USA doesn't speak to me either. Like, at all. And Erika Kirk is embarrassing, I'm sorry. So I don't know. I feel like there's a big swath of us just not really being represented anywhere. I mean there's gotta be, right? Honestly, the entire game felt sort of alienating in a way.
That's about it for me today. I'm going to take a break from everything for a little while. Maybe wait and see if I get any reload bonuses or anything. If anything, this will hopefully lengthen my leash at DK and FD. My bonuses have all shrunk to now mostly 25 bucks which is basically useless, so hopefully that changes if I take a break.
I'm getting in a bad mood just thinking about this game again. Looking over my prop notes on my desk is making me feel ill almost. What a waste of time. I do need a break. Talk later, thanks for reading and if anyone was tailing me, I do honestly apologize. I'm a prop fish now!
