I don't yell at the kids or take it out on anyone. Thats just ignorant. Never broken items either as i said in this thread, but im sure people do. It's not their fault and you would have to be a total asshole to do it. BUT i have found myself in a bad mood after a huge loss where i am very short with those around me. Probably something i should work on, but it only last that day. Im usually over that part when i wake up the next morning.
I've definitely gotten cranky over a loss, but it doesn't last long. I've learned to get over it fairly quickly. I used to act a lot grumpier when I didn't gamble and my home team lost - that's when my wife really would notice how crabby I was acting. I cover up much better now.
Im sure everyone has been there, however i would find a new home if my wife tried to tell me what i could or couldn't do. it did cost me a marriage but it wasn't meant to last anyway.I have customer's that have to hide in the closet or go to the store to make their play's. That to me is way over the top. if you work like hell and are paying the bill's no wife is going to tell me what i can or can't do.
i'm much better at handling the losses now-days.....but in my younger days when I lose, everyone loses!
I dont hide putting in bets with my wife (i hide amounts), but when I'm with any other family I have to hide (in the car or outside or bathroom) to put them in.....although i'm not fooling everyone when they see me checking scores on my phone.
EVERYONE LOSES!!!:lolBIG:
oh no!!! a rampant Shdw running around the house yelling at people.... DAMN I should have bet the other side!!!! FLUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!
