Default Why does this happen?

When I have a hunch to play a game and I don,t play it wins, but when I play it ..well it losses. Last night I wanted to go with Sac +1000 , did not play it, today I will pick one to play it will probably loose.

Yep. That's the way it goes. Happens to me all the time. But I always figure that if I felt that strongly about the game then I would've bet it.

its because you beat yourself up over the ones you didn't play while you look past the 12 ml dogs you looked at, that lost, that you layed off of. for the losses you laid off of you think, 'yeah, i knew that one wasn't a good pick'. for the wins you laid off of, 'damn, i knew that was going to win, why the **** didnt i play it?!?'

as humans we seem to remember these more than all of the times we would have lost, hindsight is 20/20 kinda stuff, if u dont play something before the game, then what happens in the game is pointless

If that bug you much, and it does, we all dysfunctional but human after all! Just bet on it. that what I do put .5 unit on ML +600 and up. Don't remember when was a last time I won but makes u fill better even if u lose because u'r ready for that. Didn't play yesterday was down enough for the day to risk more.

Hunches are not good betting strategies, when they win it feels good but lets not get carried away

Bet solid info or edges only and not hunches.
