    Default Greed!

    How many people on this site consider themselves greedy?

    Im greedy. If Im doing well at the BlackJack table betting 25 a hand, I'll jump to 100. I'll bet 3 dimes on a game if Im up a ton that week. I'll sit at the 25/50 nl table my last night in Vegas when I have no business there. Im greedy and exhibit poor money management skills.

    I think all of the above can contribute to a loss. Furthermore, I think being greedy and wanting action sometimes work hand in hand with eachother. In my case I would say I lose more because I cap the game wrong than I do because I'm greedy or need action but I can definitely see where that isn't true in most cases.

    Angry Handicapping

    I usually do okay handicapping the games but...
    Every once in a while, after I already made my wager and the game has already started, I'll hear something that would have influenced my decision to bet on the other team.

    I hate it when that happens!
