are these constant comments about people being on the "right side" of a game when they lose. I'm sorry but I think that comment is absolutely ridiculous. But let's look at this from a logical point of view.
First off, I'm making the assumption that the gamblers on this board place money on a game for one reason, and one reason only.....to make money (if that's not the case with you, ignore this thread because you'll only cloud the issue and it doesn't apply to you).
With that in mind, prior to the start of a game we can assume that no one knows the outcome (barring a "fixed" event). So, cappers use all sorts of stats to get an edge and increase their probability of winning (i.e. last 3 starts, umpires strike/balls ratio, injuries to key players, team batting average on the road, how the team hits against left handed pitchers, etc.). Hopefully, the more stats in a team's favor, the higher probability for a win. Again, this is prior to the start of the game.
When the game is over, you can predict with 100% accuracy who the winner is, right? And again, the winning side is the side we all want to be on, right? Therefore, why in the world would someone saying at the conclusion of the game that even though we lost, we were on the right side? And it doesn't matter if you got a bad beat (i.e bad calls, bad bounce on a ball, fan interference, etc.). The comment is just stupid, because the game is over and the winner is determined with 100% accuracy. You don't cash tickets on bad beats. Admitedly, I could understand if someone said they would bet the same way again next time because overall the one team played better so they think the outcome would be different the next time around. But to say you are on the right side when the outcome is already determined just makes no sense to me.
