Message: [QUOTE="ted80, post: 1239157, member: 56913"] the thing i agree with the most is your statement regarding self control. it is one of the most true things with putting your money on the line. you're gonna lose buddy. you're gonna have a lot of losing days...gonna have a lot of losing days in a row too. my betting generally has come from football and horses before i messed with poker. i learned a lot of things that keep me from going bust in poker...same things that keep me from busting out in anything else. its college football, your 5 star bet of the century loses...lord help me, the same night, your for-fun 1 star bet that pitt beats the 28 point spread against west virginia works...in fact, pitt beats wvu...leaving you scratching your head going "dammit! i shoulda bet the money line!!!! i woulda won huge money!!!" ...but no you shouldn't have...there was on way pitt was beating wvu before that game started and you knew it, you knew it was the back yard brawl and they hated each other and it was gonna be a nasty game, wvu was gonna win by 50 or pitt was gonna hang in there and make a game of it no matter how lousy they were. one thing you know not to do is that you had a losing day even though you just watched an exciting game, you're pumped up, you won your little bet, you can't lose! should you look for a west coast game that's kicking off late and bet big on an over/under? no! call it a day, get out of there, there's always next week. you usually do all right; no need to double down now, might take you a week or two or three but you'll fix the loss with well thought out bets when you did your homework so you just got killed...5 bets in a row at the race track, your horses didn't win, place, or show! and they were races with just 6 or 7 horses, maaaan are you retarded? what were you thinkin? your bankroll just took a booboo...but hey man, there's this race at indiana downs...snicklebritches is a 3:1 in a 6 field race...you won on snicklebritches before...just 6 weeks ago...this bet breaks every rule in the book with your system but come on, just one more bet, make it a big one, across the board, can't lose, no way snick is gonna let you down. should i? nope! cause there's horses racing tomorrow, after you played some poker and got some sleep, and got over the ouchie you got. betting on what you think is going to happen sucks sometimes, cause "you think"...you never know. you may think very well a lot of the time, don't let an owie cloud your judgement. tomorrow is another day with more "i thinks" present. catch a spankin...hang out in the corner, cuss and sulk for a little bit, let the trainer get in your face, get you some ice, try to slow that swelling down, and figure out what the bad guy is doin, and get back in there for another round...tomorrow [/QUOTE]
