[QUOTE=TheChosenOne;22203]miracle central time[/QUOTE] I'm sticking with it.......I'm tossing the hex on Titties.

Nice round Ernie :(

I think someone threw a hex on Walker. :(

always tough to beat the titties.

ive been drinkin but I think one of our go against guys may win this bitch........is that possible

Day did win but I think I would rather have that than lose by 1 on a bad beat even though a loss is a loss.

[QUOTE=bkeiller;22255]Day did win but I think I would rather have that than lose by 1 on a bad beat even though a loss is a loss.[/QUOTE] No way... I'd rather have a chance to win the wager than no chance at all.

Burger I am talking about AFTER the fact. Psychologically, most people (yourself as a professional gambler perhaps not included), woud much rather just accept that it was a bad bet and move on rather than feel that they SHOULD have won but did not. Of course you would rather have a chance to win but if you are in the end going to lose anyway then why have your hopes raised just to be crushed.

It's such a weird debate because it's something we have no control over. It seems that the argument is why sweat a game just to lose it? And the answer would be because you have a chance to win it. I don't know that you can have your cake and eat it too. If you're going to bet on sports, you have to expect to sweat the games, but again, it doesn't make much of a difference because we can't really control it anyway.

100% agreed that we have no control, Tonya Harding excluded :), however I am talking about when you LOSE the game, therefore the chance was simply in your mind. I admit that it is a contrived philosophical discussion, but for me personally, a loss is a lot easier to take if I just feel I got beat cause I had the wrong side rather than I got screwed and really should have won. I do understand the counter that from a professional handicappers point of view you may rather think that you handicapped the game correctly and just got screwed rather than you were just wrong and have it shake your faith in your ability. For me, who is just throwing darts or flipping coins, it doesn't matter.
