Moneyline wagers go bad when bullpens implode.
Fielder’s indifference leads to -1.5 wagers becoming 1-run wins.
A famed starting pitcher’s stuff resembles batting practice than ace form.
A gas can throws a gem.
Totals go over after many scoreless innings.
Totals go under after explosive frames to begin a game.
We’ve all seen it happen over and over again. The MLB season is a long, tough grind. Losses, as with any sport and maybe more viciously than the other major ones, are inevitable.
For me, I’m a terribly sore loser. It’s not the money that bothers me because I have a very disciplined money management system. Money is a way of keeping score. I just hate losing . . . at anything. We could have a thumb war and I’ll want to punch you in the face if I lost. However, as much as I hate losing, I don’t blow a gasket. Understanding losing is a part of betting assists me with coping during a losing day. I think we can all agree that losing makes us all a little bitter. Some more than others.
How do I deal with the tough days? I reach for some ice cream. Nothing cures the pain like chocolate ice cream combined with marshmallows, chocolate chunks, and chopped peanuts. I’ve been accused of placing a losing wager so I have an excuse to eat some Rocky Road. Obviously not true, but what a deliciously expensive idea.
I compare my rather calm behaviors with some who create “AGAIN?! I FUCKING LOST AGAIN?!” threads in the forum. I can only imagine what’s going on behind that computer.
In real life, I’ve seen some angry drunks at the sports books. Some get overly aggressive against themselves, or overly aggressive against others. Some compound their drinking with other social drugs. It’s a roller coaster and I thankfully do not meet the height requirements to ride.
Losing days. Everyone has them.
