    About a week ago I made a post on here making fun of those who took CCU, and people called me out on it. Those people made me realize I had 2 NCAAB games that night and I was likely going to lose one of them as well, and I did. It didn't make me better than the person who lost the football game that I won when I was going to lose a different game anyway. Just because someone made a bet that lost by 50 and you won that game doesn't make you better because eventually you're going to lose a game as well. A loss is a loss no matter if you lose by 50 or 1. It can be embarrassing or mentally mess with your head but there is no need to rub it in when someone's wager loses, you aren't better than them because they lost by 50. You are also going to lose. I apologize for that post (nobody probably even saw it) but there is no need for me or anyone to ever be negative. Nobody needs or deserves to be kicked when they're down.

    happy holidays and good luck to everyone.

    I was just embarrassed by that post and wanted to clear my name. I immaturely ignored the people who called me out at first but as time passed their comments made it start to dawn on me that it was pointless for me to have done that. There was no benefit to it. I'm used to seeing people on twitter laugh and tear down those fake sports cappers when they lose by a million but guess what, we're all eventually going to lose which puts us in the same boat as the people we are making fun of. The energy you give out reciprocates back to you. Only time to be negative is if it's self deprecating. Hopefully this life lesson takes you far son.

     I understand what you are trying to do, and in a normal setting in this world it would make sense. Unfortunately, you are apologizing to a population of gambling degenerates, thus I cannot confirm if many will hear your message. They are more interested in if the Raiders will cover the spread tomorrow. Since I was not part of your attack at the earlier date I have no issue with you.

     

    Good luck on your quest for forgiveness.

    If losing a bet makes you feel embarrassed or 'mentally messes with your head' (isn't it always going to be mental if your head is being messed with??) than this isn't the hobby for you. If people want to laugh at me when I lose a bet, fine. That just shows me they're amateurs who have no idea what I do. I place easily over a thousand bets a year. Yes I still btch about stuff when i lose but it's not because of that one bet making or breaking me I just can't stand how stupid these coaches and players are and how overpaid they are when they fail to do basic things.

    Anyway just because you made this post I am going to really rub it in next time.

    If losing a bet makes you feel embarrassed or 'mentally messes with your head' (isn't it always going to be mental if your head is being messed with??) than this isn't the hobby for you. If people want to laugh at me when I lose a bet, fine. That just shows me they're amateurs who have no idea what I do. I place easily over a thousand bets a year. Yes I still btch about stuff when i lose but it's not because of that one bet making or breaking me I just can't stand how stupid these coaches and players are and how overpaid they are when they fail to do basic things.

    Anyway just because you made this post I am going to really rub it in next time.

It didn't make me better than the person who lost the football game that I won when I was going to lose a different game anyway. Just because someone made a bet that lost by 50 and you won that game doesn't make you better because eventually you're going to lose a game as well. A loss is a loss no matter if you lose by 50 or 1. It can be embarrassing or mentally mess with your head but there is no need to rub it in when someone's wager loses, you aren't better than them because they lost by 50. You are also going to lose. I apologize for that post (nobody probably even saw it) but there is no need for me or anyone to ever be negative. Nobody needs or deserves to be kicked when they're down. happy holidays and good luck to everyone.

    As people have point out already, this kind of introspection and self-awareness will be lost on the general population here, but I want to second your response pal. It does count towards what is most important, your internal balance sheet an_cheers
