Stu,
Your advice is for sound thinkers and I am not sure you will find many here. I don't know how old you are, nor do I care, but I have been in the gambling business over 30 years. You are dead on!! Bad beats always happen, nobody should cry about a "free" pick when it loses. Also, do you own research!! Some of these guys just jump on the forum 10 mins before gametime asking for a pick that was already posted on a privious page and then they play those games. I have a hard time pulling the trigger on a bet I didn't do reasearch on. I liked the slick bet a few days ago but it lost. I watched as Cinn couldn't make a free throw to ice the game and chalked it up to a bad beat.
People, bad beats and losses happen! I understand losing streaks and frustration but when these things hit you----------Take a few days off and don't look at anything, you won't miss anything. Avoid coming on here and bitching because when person A is losing thousands he doesn't really care about person B losing a few hundred bucks and really doesn't want to hear how you lost your pizza and beer money for the weekend!!
