On the contrary, your maturation in handling the Cards failure to advance proved this and in the grand scheme of things you were rewarded with your largest season wins bet ever. Looks as if you've realized we can't win everything all the time. The Bears have a season ending gauntlet of games, 4 out of 5 vs divisional foes, and a trip to San Fran but if you personally, handle any loss along the way, with the same maturity you displayed in game #7, your faith will probably be rewarded again with another seasons wins winner.
As far as the Giants beating JV, I'm with money
and backing the Tigers for the series and saying they don't beat him in game #1 or any other game. This season is JV's defining season and unless he wants to be called the Dan Marino of MLB it's the pinnacle or nothing. The Manning boys will have their careers defined by their Super Bowl wins, especially Eli's two, and his possible third. Guys in the NBA like Durant and Howard will eventually have to clear that same hurdle. All the potential great ones don't always get it done, and in the end they're never mentioned in the class of the great ones who did. I think JV is well aware of this.
Verlanders a class act as well as a future hall of famer, and I feel he not only wins all his starts this WS but he inspires and drives Max and the others around him to success. I can see why a lot of people are backing the Giants in the series, getting high juiced dogs at home, who just slayed the beast, but in the end reality defeats perception.

and keep the faith, both of you, I am. 
because what you just said right there is the exact behavior and repeated cycle I have done over the last 10+ years.... hell yes I wanted them to win . I just felt dread after game 5 for some reason .Cant put my finger on it. Just wished at that moment we were up 3-2 against the reds and not the giants .
Guess in hindsight I now know why I had that feeling. The Bay folks dont die... they dont go away . IF they can beat Verlander in game one then there is a chance they can take it to 7
I guess im comfortable in the Cardinals and their overall success throughout history,recent success, their youth, and high promises our farm system shows for the future. Hell yes it would of been tight to win number 12 in 2012 ... but as soon as they lost I got right back into a gamblers mind frame
I guess from then on I started reflecting a bit more. Realized how happy I was with the team this year and also how the Cards helped me cash on one of the biggest season wins wagers I have ever made this year going over 84.5. A number most thought they would not surpass pre season . I then clicked over to the Bears MNF that was on and started watching them with the over 9.5 Bears season wins total dancing in my head.....all bout how you manipulate your mental perspective my man ... how well I handled the Cards losing needs to translate onto how I handle my losses in betting. I need to relax a bit more and not give up on games when there still is a legitimate shot at it cashing
