It amuses me to see people start threads after their pick hits and tout themselves as all-knowing, all-seeing bad mutha truckers. But how come no one makes posts touting themselves as losers?

LoL.


Thread Title: I PICKED WRONG AGAIN AND BLEW HALF MY BANKROLL!!!

I know I'd be starting at least a half dozen of those every other day. Carry on.

[EaglesPhan36]

Exactly my friend. That's why they're winners. Silence is golden.

[Bill Dozer]

You can probably chalk it up to human nature. When we win, we celebrate. When we lose we go home and get ready to try again.

[jjgold]

I always say when I lose, I want a public apology by the thread starter here not to include me.

[JBC77]

A gambling man with integrity never starts a thread to boast his victories.

It's like an unwritten rule.....

[Willie Bee]

We need pompous asses occasionally, if only to make us appreciate those who are more humble and gracious in both victory and defeat.

You wanna' know what bugs me the most? It's not just here at this board, but at forums all across the cyberworld and throughout life in general. I've never understood how or why people expend so much energy rooting against something or someone. I've always called them the 'anti-fans.' Take Monday night, for example, in Game 4 of the ALDS. There were millions, I'm guessing, of people watching that game just to root against the Yankees. They could care f\/ck all about the Indians, just out to derive some perverse pleasure from the Yanks losing.

The same thing goes on here between the different warring factions. John Doe says he likes Team A +6 this weekend and his archenemy has to chime in calling him a loser and saying they're going to fade them, blah-blah-blah. Just seems like such a waste of time and energy.

Bill,

After last night, I need to go home and get ready to try again!

[Rollins08]

I never believe the people that say they win anyway. if they have to post it in a forum to feel good then they have bigger issues than just gambling.

Alright- I haven't done what you said, but let me put out an underdog pick for tonight prior to the event and then we can all celebrate after. Boxing- Rolando Reyes- started at
+275 and is still available some places at that #. His opponent Stevie Johnson is a nice crafty 5'5" southpaw who's prime was 2000. Well it's 2007 and a tall right hander with power is a bad matchup for Lil' But Bad Stevie. Good luck with the dog.

The thing that bugs me is the use of the word lock over and over.

i blew half of my bankroll on wake forest under 43.5 and fsu -5

how is that, asshole.

[dodif]

prettty stupid ?

When I win i celebrate
When I lose I think about why the **** would I take the BEngals over the Pats. Take a quick lesson and never think of it again.

[BuddyBear]

Guys are always keen on bumping up their threads when they win....but when they lose you can be sure they will bump another loser's threads before they bump their own.

about 75% of posters on here and other gaming forums dream of being touts.

[SBR_John]

I threw a thread up in the NCAA forum like my LOCK of the week, just a tad of humor to my strong pick and got ran out of Dodge for saying lock. Oh, did I mention it won?

[moneyplays]

I took WF first half for 500. I lost that and then I put 1,000 on FSU second half and lost that. I did win 1,000 on Navy so I'm down right now about 575 with juice. I plan to make it up either with the game tonight or tomorrow.

[raiders72002]

Follow that smart guy threads.


Willie- I hate the Yankees and the Cubs. I'll pull against them every time. My nightmare would be a Cubs/Yanks WS.

Strictly Winners makes posts like that all the time.

I admit to bad handicapping and mistakes all the time. I'm one who likes to learn from mistakes.

There is a guy named -neverwins- on another forum who starts threads touting himself for sucking.

[curious]

I was promoting Hawaii all week. LOL I totally suck. What a ****ed up team.

I did pick a long shot winner in Los Alamitos Race 2. So, I'm not totally washed up. LOL

Willie- I hate the Yankees and the Cubs. I'll pull against them every time. My nightmare would be a Cubs/Yanks WS.

There are a lot of teams I don't like, raiders, the Cubs being one of them and that dates back to one of their fans welshing on one of the very first bets I ever made back in 1962 (what is the interest on 5¢ over 45 years ). Lots of teams that it wouldn't bother me if they never won another game.

But if I'm sitting there not enjoying myself watching a game because I hate both teams, I just don't watch it. Can use that energy towards something constructive, not destructive. Besides, if all you're doing is hoping for a team to lose, then you never can win in my opinion.

[jackpot269]

Big difference between celebrating and bragging like a pompous ass.

kinda like confindent and cocky

[EaglesPhan36]

I think there should be a whole sub-forum titled Attention Whore. That would be a great place to group all those posts so the rest of us can skip 'em in the other parts of the forum.

Come on, WB weren't you just a little pleased to see the Yankees get humiliated.

[Willie Bee]

No, not really. I was cheering for the Indians as they're the last of my futures bets with a shot to ease the losses. But I don't root against the Yankees much. I've made money on the Yankees in my lifetime.
