    Default Question about MLB gambling?

    I know I said I was done sports betting last night and acted like a jackass since my Memphis team basically pulled off the greatest choke in NCAA history but since I've dumped 1800 in the last couple weeks I figured I'd dump another 310 and put it on Bos -155 to win 200. It looks like after a month I may have finally flipped the coin the right way and won one, but my ? is this how do you relax when you are watching baseball I mean I was 3 up going in to the 6 and thought I had it won then they load the bases and I figured fuk if he gets a hit I'm only up 1 and if he homers I'm down 1, do you ever get to just relax like when your teams dominating like in football, what a nightmare to bet on I don't think I can handle betting baseball it's too fukin up and down.

    You can't win in bases this year. It's like football. You just don't know.

    Football is money in the bank for me, I'm up big for last two seasons of football. I DREAM OF MLB BEING LIKE FOOTBALL, but reality is it's much more like basketball

    I didn't really watch the game itself I kinda watched an animation on mlb.com gameday and that may be even worse than watching it on TV, b/c there are like pauses and ur sitting there thinkin fuk they are typing a bunch of shit about this roosterlicker homers and this guy scores and this guy scores, etc.. I don't want to watch but it's hard not to. I know it'll drive me nuts winnin/losin on every pitch so I don't know if I should bet MLB, shit like happened last night were some dude had under 8 1/2 and they had scored 2 going into the 9th and they scored 7 in the 9th just would make you want to hurt yourself or others watchin a complete lock get fuked by a grand slam followed by a 3 run homer

    Baseball is like any other sports for me, if I have money on that game I don't even bother watching it until crunch time. So the final 7th to 9th innings would probably be the best time to tune in. The 9th inning should be quick if you took the hometeam with a lead and they have their save pitchers in.

    Add four hours to the first pitch.

    When that time comes, check the scoreboard. Quick and painless.

    If you really want to lower the pain levels, just look at the final score and not the line scores. Then you don't even have to know that your team gave up three in the bottom of the 9th.

    Actually, add five if Steve Trachsel is pitching.

    Get the scores after the game is done. IMO Watching every second of every game you bet is just putting much undesired stress on yourself. Why would you want to do a thing like that.
