This doesn't happen that common in basketball but regularly happens in football. I tend to hate situation like team I bet for is winning 2-0 and concedes 3 goals to lose 2-3. It makes me hate the team as I lose my whole trust and I always try to avoid playing for that unlucky team.
Throwing away big leads is still a common scenario in basketball, we don't see it very often but once you've watched enough basketball matches recently it's not that surprising to see teams grind their way to double digit leads and lose it back on the next half. Same thing goes for hockey and baseball.

It sucks when it happens but if I see my team coming back from a big deficit I sometimes make use of the cashout button once it's available.
Of course hatred exists at the same time as losing, but I realize it's just a form of emotion because I personally can't really hate it to leave it. In the past I often lost and it was difficult to win even though on paper the teams were easy to win, so I decided to no longer bet on that team and even the league. But as time went by, I started again to bet and with different results I realized that hatred for a team when losing is just an emotion, because in the end we will forget that and will try again and again.
Don't think you are alone.
Many of us does experience the same thing as you do.
Last time I loss 2 games that cannot cover the spread by just 1 point and the other by 2 points.
I hate that kind of feeling. I'd rather see them lose the game than winning with a low amount and my bet hanging on the line.
It's a good experience though and it will happen more. Also a good proof that the game is not controlled/manipulated.

That is seduction from the gambling that will always make you come back, regardless of your situation, whether you win or lose. That will be your decision to come back or stop for a while to reduce the tension in yourself. It is why you need to have control of yourself so you can know if that situation is not right for you and you need to get out as soon as possible. But many of us have the same experience, and there is time for you to let it go.
I hate it but it is what it is. I can easily move on when it comes to gambling. I don't gamble an amount which if lost would only give me a headache or loss of sleep. So even in situations like this, I think I can just forget about it after a while. I'd just think that my money gambled was worth it because my team played well enough that it came close with the opponent even if it still lost in the end.
This is nothing surprising for a gambler. It is not very seldom that a huge underdog came out the winner in various sports.

.... you bet on a team team and it teases a comeback just to fxxk you over.
This happens to me every 3. game I bet on basketball.
Just now, my team was down by 19 in the 1st half and 17 at HT. 2min before the end of the 3rd they come within 1 just to give up 8 straight again.
90sec before the end the make it a 1 point game again just to give up 9 straight, WTF.
My teams never come back, just let me think there is hope and then fxxk me. Basically in this game they fxxked me 3 times. First playing shit and go down by 19, then teasing the first comeback and then the 2. one.
It never ends for me.
I was wondering what kind of betting odds were you using.
I guess If you have been betting with + point spread, you'll have a good chance of winning If your team comes back from being down big.
Anyway, it happens to all of us. The last thing I remember was the 2020 NBA finals when the Lakers were trying to win a come back in game 3 by tightening up the defense but still came up short. That feels really sucks.

Some teams just ain got it in them. If you watch basketball frequently you will see that there are two types of teams that have a chance to come back: the really great teams that have some much quality that they can turn a game at any time, and those that are very strong psychologically and never give up and have some special players that can take the reins and the responsibility when things are going south. Are your teams of this types?

Relax you are not alone, I have experienced the same thing with you several times. That is the attraction of sports betting, it can always provide fun,
sadness, resentment and anger. We can experience everything in sports betting, both basketball and football. But because I often bet on football
matches, so I often have situations like you have said in football matches, by betting on the unlucky team, but do not blacklist the team, because
the team is not as long as unlucky.

For me comebacks usually only go in the other way. When my team is behind I barely see chances of a comeback, but when my team is winning I see some random goals happening in the 89th minute just to change the easy win to a draw. I probably lost most of my bets due to a draw because I bet for a victory. It is really frustrating to think you are winning just to get the win stolen from you in the last second. It would be nice if we could buy some insurance for the big swings in the last 5 minutes of a game.
I would suggest you to play it safe for now like placing bets with a little amount first then try to analyze and do your research.
Sometimes odds are misleading as books depend on the statistics. Nevertheless, I would suggest, try to check it first before choosing a team to trust your bets.

I bet on basketball.
Different sports have this to different extents. I don't bet on basketball, but it's high scoring, so I'd imagine this kind of thing is quite common. Other sports are probably more predictable and more forgiving. Another issue is timeframe... the shorter the timeframe you're betting on, the more unpredictable it will be. The question of who will win a match is more predictable than who will score most in the next five minutes. The question of who will win a championship over the course of a season is more predictable than who will win a single match.
I'd advise try either a) lengthening the timeframe of your bets, or b) trying a more predictable sport.
I hate it like everyone else but I have suffered so many of these games in soccer that I am quite used to it now and when this happens I just say whatever and go to my next bet.
The difference with you though is this is not never ending and in between such loses I also manage to get some relatively big wins and this is what keeps me going.

1st quarter: WTF!
2nd quarter: WTF!
3rd quarter: WTF!
4th quarter: Game over!!
What is the problem? have fun, get excited enjoy the game and enjoy the thrill of winning or losing if you place a bet. If there is frustration about losing money, then just enjoy the moment, do not spend money on gambling if you think you will always win.

though kind of frustrating ? but we can find the Good and the Bad in this kind of game , try to look in the brighter side mate even if you really felt the frustration .
and also try to bet sometime in the other side, i mean if your instinct telling you to bet on Team A, try to bet in Team B instead.
It depends on your preferences its part of the game there's an unexpected event that happens as the event of Singapore major which the EG vs IG after the EG got 2-0 then IG made a comeback with 2-3 unexpectedly but I bet on EG because I'm a fan of the Evil geniuses for a long time it doesn't matter to win or lose because I enjoy their fight. The same thing with your case we can't tell that the odds already say the winner of the game doesn't take it too much seriously because you do not have the power to manipulate everything just to win your bet. If you dont want to lose next time I guess try to bet with the two teams at the same time by that its a 50 50 chance no matter if they made a comeback by the opponent or not.
Of course, I think I will say that majority of the bettors in NBA games have experienced this one. You might hate the team, but what if the next game they win and you win big?
I agree that you don't need to take it personality, that's the very definitive definition of gambling, you put money on the line without knowing the outcome, so it can go on your favor or not. This has been, I would say the trend in NBA currently, teams leading by second half, you feel assured that you are going to win and then suddenly in the last two quarters, the other team played good defense and offense, and vice-versa.

You seem to have taken it personally.
When you placed your bet on your team, you must be aware that they could either win or lose. That's it. If they win, you are good. But if they lose, it's all good just the same. It was a possibility right from the start, after all.
Your team was not giving you hope. You were the one who hoped because your money is at stake.

Hey, I mean if it never happened, I'd also get fcked when the team I bet lets the other team make a complete comeback right? Matter of perspective I suppose, but yea I feel you when they just ruin everything you thought of as possible. I'd rather see them get completely destroyed or have a back-and-forth match instead of one team letting the other score in one half, and vice versa in the next half only to decide the winner in the end. The same ending with a back-and-forth, but a different process which probably what makes watching it different from each other.
Though I do suppose I just assume that most teams with an early lead are the mos likely winners since they wouldn't really tire themselves out to chase something, unlike the other team that has to chase the score that they lost in the early parts of the game.

Lol, I understand your feelings, I have been betting in NBA and see this kind of comebacks, either fall short or go all the way.

Most of the time, I never did watch the game specially when they are in a comeback, I have a feeling that I may jinx them. That's just me though, just take it easy, I known that the odds are very attractive for a win and it's going to be a big disappointment. But just go the next day, best of luck.
