Forget this dumb shit ! It Happens ! We all quickly forget the games we "should " have lost !
The "bad beats" are merely remembered better, Somebody is always the recipient of a bad win, we just conviently forget those !
I'll spare you the details of my "bad beat " today, it was pretty "bad", but it was a nice win for someone else.
Poker players are the worst offendors in this regard. How bad a beat is it if it had a mathematical 3 % chance of happening ? It has to happen, sometimes !
It just sucks when it happens to you !
C'mon think about it, We forget the bad wins, but remember the bad beats !
Anyone that makes thousands of bets has had both, likely equally.
It's selective memory. Those of us that had Duke +2.5 will not remember that months from now, but the guy with Uconn will remember that shot years from now.
Believe it , or not it evens out. Our brains just aren't wired that way !
