Default More than winners and losers

I don't know about you, but I don't judge my bets entirely on whether they won or lost. Did the game play out more or less how I thought it would, whether my team won or lost? Was there an obvious factor I overlooked for some reason?

eg. on Sunday I was happier with my losing bet on Seattle (underdog unlucky not to cover and leading for large chunks of the game) than with my winner on San Diego (don't think they would have covered if Pennington hadn't left the game).

If you got the W on Dallas -9 last night, do you think about how/why they only covered by five points despite being plus three on turnovers? Or do you take the W and never give the game a second thought?

If you said (and somebody here did) of the Patriots/Falcons game something like "it WILL be over by half-time, Falcons rout on the road", do you bother to consider afterwards why you were so far off? Or do you take the L and never give the game a second thought?

Just thiinking out loud here..........
