Title: Bad luck + VAR Post by: aaron1867 on November 24, 2019, 07:51:52 PM I thought I'd post this, because there's not going much in this section and it's happened again.
The last few months I have had the WORST of luck and it has come in the most agonising way possible. It has been an endless amount of very last minute winners or VAR farces and today is no similar. A few weeks ago I had a bet for both Liverpool and Fulham to win both halves of their matches, Liverpool obliged. Fulham was playing Luton that night and was winning both halves until they let a goal in at the 95th minute. I ad them both in singles and a big priced double. It happens, move on. The day after that I had a treble in the Europa League for interest. It was two other teams who had and Roma and Gladbach. They let a goal in the 94th minute when they conceeded a penalty in which the referee said Chris Smalling handballed it, when it didn't. There in so VAR in Europa League group stages. Everton played Spurs in early November and I had a big single on Spurs. It was the game Son injuted one of their players and Everton scored in like the 97th minute. VAR ruled it to be a red card, but days later it was rescinded. Yesterday I had a bet on Man City to win both halves. City didn't deserve to be in front in the first half, but they was. Then in the very last minute Sterling scored a goal that was ruled out for offside, I have looked at that goal and it wasn't offside, was it? Today I went and chucked a few quid at United v Man United. I had United in a single (with hope the 2up might save me if something ridic happens) and win BTTS. Not a huge bet, just a decent interest. Man Utd never deserved that win, but they was in front somehow. But here comes VAR. I am of the opinion that United's equaliser was handball. Was Sterling offside? Was Sheffield United's equaliser handball? I've literally never had such terrible luck. There are like 2/3 more very recently too, but I can't remember them all. We all lose, some late on, but this is literally the worst luck I've ever had? Have people had similar bad luck and how they deal with it?

What a great game. When that equaliser went in I shouted so loud that the dogs started baking and I must have turned blue as I held my breath waiting for VAR. You fill up my senses, Like a gallon of Magnet, Like a packet of woodbine, Like a good pinch of snuff, Like a night out in Sheffield, Like a greasy chip butty My Sheffield United, Come thrill me again, Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, oooh, Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, oooh...

Then we can sweat your picks in real time. Luck evens out over time so it bodes well for a re-launch.

The Sheff Utd equaliser was definitely NOT handball. NB I don't support either side and had no interest in the game |
