My bad break of the night.
After 2nd half was starting decided to do Tee Higgins for next touchdown at +1200 odds. Had it in draftkings app, hit submit wheel started spinning to accept. I then look up to see Tee Higgins running into the end zone and start celebrating, look down and DK says sorry we had an error processing your bet.
FML!

Buddy of mine said "you're having selective memory" I said, "No - it really does happen more than you realize."
It's like the poker tournament I was in at Borgata. I probably got 7-2 off suit 10 times. Naturally, I folded each of them. But 5 of those would have given me a boat for the win. People always say "you're just remembering selectively". I'm not. It actually happened that way...
There are moments you can see things clealy. I was playing a friendly game once and folded 8 2 off suit, but turned to a friend, showed him what I folded and whispered "I know the 2 is going to play" Sure enough two 2s on the flop and a 3rd on the river. Should I have played if I "know"? No, absolutely not. But there are just those moments where intuition tells you to do something.
One of my favorite stories involved Belmont back when I was learning how to handicap. I accidentally did a triple, and didn't have a clue how I'd miscommunicated. My girlfriend and her grandmother were with me. Her grandmother said "it will be a lucky accident". It certainly was...$500 lucky accident. Now when I make errors I convince myself "lucky accident" to justify it - but I haven't ever had another lucky accident again.
