Are you more nervous before you make a bet or after you place the bet?

Iceman · Feb 7, 2006

For me, it is before. After i pull the trigger I ususally have no regrets (90% of time).

Never nervous about the side, Only if i have gotten the BEST of the number is what makes me nervous at times.

Always before...My heart races like I took a hit of crack

if you are nervous at any time , you are wagering more than you should be..

Journeyman · Feb 7, 2006

Depends on the amount and if I have been winning lately or not....If I have not been doing well I get nervous, otherwise I don't.

more nervous doen't mean you are betting to muchor that you're altogether nervous. Just wondering what makes you more excitied/anxious/nervous/emotional.

They Don't call me "Never Nervous Pervis" for nothin..

Actually I do have a nervous price.. But for some reason I have not played that high in a while.

the only emotion i usually feel right before pulling the trigger is one where i'm hopeful that i worked hard enough to come to the conclusion i did.

i ask myself " is the best move to make tonight "

RobFunk · Feb 7, 2006

Heh. Never nervous Pervis.

For me it's definatly AFTER. Before there just a lot of excitement and should I do this or not.

But after you place that bet, that money is gone and might still be gone after the game is over too.

Making the bet is the easy part, after is worst.

nimue77 · Feb 7, 2006

Only nervous that I will miss the line I am trying to get.

blueedwards · Feb 7, 2006

the only time i get nervous is if, after i place the bet, i find out the refs are on the take. then, after i lose my money, i post about it for two days and call the dan patrick show.

NEVER nervous. Sometimes curious. Instead of being nervous, go and cap tommorow's games IceMan.

AlwaysKeen · Feb 8, 2006

definitely before...

The other day, I took Detroit -5 vs. NJ for a LARGE amount and was going to scalp/middle.

The line went to -6, -6.5 and eventually even touched 7 in places. I knew I had to pull the trigger, but just didn't know WHEN.

Should I wait for 7.5?

How long should I wait?

Should I wait until right before tip-off?

Should I scalp it for 80% and middle 20%? or 50-50?

Which book should I use?

Do I want to win a NJ bet at a C-rated book just because they have the best price?

Will I have time to make a Neteller deposit there?

I would see a small move in some places and I would start getting nervous that there was some buy back coming.
