Poll: Please tell the truth. How many people here use Sun. night to bail out of a bad day?

TEASERGURU · Nov 2, 2003

I told myself 10 years ago that if I don't like the Sunday night game, that I will not bet it no matter how bad my day was. My day was so bad that I am deviating from my rule by hammering Minnesota. if anyone wants to make a lot of $$, simply bet Green Bay because I am on a serious skid.

Have been there but also have learned better. I do not chase. And I feel great since i stopped doing that. I did wager GB as one of my 4 wagers this week. car, atl, gb, ne.

Good luck

Nope. If you have no self control then you shouldn't be in this game.

Chasing eventually ends in one result - LOSING.

THE SHRINK · Nov 2, 2003

Very Funny Yes Man, lol...

YES MAN

Not necessarily if you are chasing a woman!

LOL ... I dunno - women are alot tougher on the wallet than gamlbling

YesMan · Nov 2, 2003

Shrink...sorry!! I could not resist with all the people making fake claims that you are using ghosts.

I am not Shrink!!!

PatrickMcIrish · Nov 2, 2003

LMAO!! Good one Yes man.

Anyway I would be lying if I said I never chased before trying to get even for the week. I was known for it as a kid. In college $300 was like a month's worth of living expenses for me, it was a lot of money. However I would be out there on Monday night football with $300 on the favorite, $300 on the over, and a $300 parlay with the two. If they all hit it might get me even, LOL. Didn't work out well very often. The only even it go me back to was even worse than I was before.

I don't use it as a bail out but I seem to bet it stronger than I normally would.

Pretending · Nov 3, 2003

If you like the Sunday night game go with it. Don't vary your bet size and keep disciplined. I personally get my Sunday night and Monday plays in ahead of Sunday morning games, but I still trust myself to make good decisions (or half time bets) late if it takes me until then to figure it out.

What's the taboo? Have a discipline and stick with it. If you can't do that then you can't beat this game so either get out or admit this is simply an act of self destruction.

...love and light

Pretending · Nov 3, 2003

Shit, nothing personal, but if you're going to name yourself Teaser Guru you have to ask yourself some serious questions.

Not that I don't have to ask the very same questions, we're all dealing with risk here and it requires terrific self control and honesty.

What % of folks win at this game, 5-8% or somewhere like that?

That's why I'm just Pretending.

EVERY SINCE I STOPPED DOING THAT, MY BANKROLL HAS BEEN HEALTHIER. I KNOW IT IS HARD, BUT YOU REALLY HAVE TO TAKE YOUR LUMPS SOMETIMES AND REGROUP INTO THE NEXT WEEK. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE HERE!
