Do you prefer watching your action alone or with friends?

Journeyman · Mar 11, 2005

I prefer watching big games alone, especially if I have a large wager....I don't like to say what I have on a game, is this normal? Would most of you agree its best to keep that kind of stuff to yourself, especially among women and non gamblers?

Hide the women and children this could get ugly!:drink:

Do you prefer watching your action at the bar, home, alone, with a group?

home alone is ideal.....

JudgeWapner · Mar 11, 2005

Don't like watching them at all.

RobFunk · Mar 11, 2005

alone unless they also have action

when ppl dont got action theyre just retarded in how they act

they got the whole im lucky i dont got money on it deal when youre losing, then they got the whole youre a sicko mentality when youre winning.

thats why you have to keep every form of gambling excpet poker a secret. becase poker is the only universally accepted form of gambling

i like to watch it alone
people do think you are weird when im constantly checking my phone.
have a good example.
today I had Illinois -18
we are sitting there watching the game and nobody knows about how much I really gamble, they just thinks its a small recreation thing.. I had a nickle on it and I've never had to hold so much anger inside of me when illinois gave up the lead.
really sucks.

im with Judge here I would rather watch the scores on my sports pager ..not live if I have $$ on the game..

JudgeWapner · Mar 11, 2005

Dante, will put years on your life not watching them.

SSI · Mar 11, 2005

i agree with Judge, ill watch the ones that i dont have action on..

one's with action, ill check score every once in a while..

Alone because I have to have my finger on the trigger to make moves accordingly. You have to trat this seriously if you want to win and I don't like distractions with alot on the line

you are so right Judge

TheGeneral+ · Mar 11, 2005

Alone mostly. Depends on the other(s).

Muddy · Mar 11, 2005

I only watch the games like football if Im up by 17 with two minutes left or a basketball game if Im up by 25 and 3 minutes left. I dont like to watch them with a group of people, if they know which side you're on, they always want the other team win to win/cover, I dont know why. People are stupid.

SureGuy · Mar 11, 2005

Gotta love when you have $1100 on a side and your friend has an 8 dollar parlay with the other side and is cheering more then you are.lol

I cant' watch it with anyone that doesn't know anything about investing.:drink:

coconutman · Mar 11, 2005

When i bet on a certain team people tend to cheer for the other because they can't seem to understand how you can bet on a sport and win by just watching the game. Most of the people already have it in thier head that gambling = losing. So i learned not to bother with the idea of sharing about my hobby. I just say i didin't wager on the game or im just not interested in sports gambling anymore.

Real gamblers dont have any Friends only other gamblers, if you dont believe me, see how long you can keep a conversation going without bringing gambling in and get bored when its not involved.

Stop kidding yourself your part of the Human Race, who wants to be part of it anyways. We live in a unique World, People everywhere fantasize of a different life outside of their own, we have the added bonus of reality kicking in big time when we are wrong.

Just on a side note, any greenhorns on this Forum looking for the promised Land should take 99% of the posts on here as nothing more than light entertainment, making gambling pay takes years of Heartache, Kop on and selfishness.

You are all diseased

And I fit right in. :toast:

winbet · Mar 11, 2005

D2,

Fortunately, you seem to be one of the few on here who know what they are doing, sadly, disease is the right term for getting it wrong.

phdinsports · Mar 11, 2005

Home alone is best, or at a buddy's place. Never at a bar. Can't stand someone cheering so loud against you when he has a 2 buck proline going!!!

You seem to have all the answers. You add nothing to this forum. I guess I am one of the diseased ones.:neenee:
