Why does this ALWAYS happen?

justdoit+ · Jun 3, 2004

A team that I bet on is winning but never can blow the game open which means I have to sweat it out and alot of times even let the other team come back late in the game to win.

However, on the other hand,if my team is losing very rarely will they come back @ the end to win for me.The other team almost always seems to hold on!

I guess what I'm trying to say is this," if my team is losing,I LOSE!! If my team is winning,THEY'LL BLOW THE LEAD AND I STILL LOSE!!"

EXAMPLES:
TWINS today leading the whole game and blow it late.

Under 1.5 1st period of NHL game,its 1-0 and with 30 ****ing seconds left T-bay scores!

That is one of the Ten Commandments of gambling as send down by the Gambling Gods. It happens to all those that choose gambling as an endevour. Amazing how effing consistent it is.

I feel a little better now knowing I'm not the only person this happens to!

I also think that your team is more likely to come form behind and cover if you're not actually watching the game. The 2 biggest miraculous come-from-behind back-door covers that I've won were games that I didn't see. I think Satan likes torturing me, but he doesn't think it's worth the trouble to fix a game if I'm not there to see the symphony of pain.

I believe it just seems this way. The beats stick out in your memory, the wins were supposed to occur ! It's the only reasonable answer, it's selective memory.

Here is something that helps me...
For every "Good Luck" that I have there is someone that is on the other end of the spectrum...and vise versa...

Last night I was on the other end of your play..placed a small wager on the over 1.5 (+1.75) and was jumping up and down like I won a Million bucks when they scored that 2nd goall...just my 2 cents...
