You know your a Gambler when...

Slanina · 05-14-09, 02:01 AM

Haha, you aren't alone my friend. It usually happens after a dunk. They stand there for a second with a "who screwed that up" look on their face. And gingerly walk behind the line to inbound while the clock is still moving. The ball going into the stands is a doozy as well. The refs take like 3 seconds before they blow their whistle to stop the clock.

Slanina · 05-14-09, 02:08 AM

Or when there are 40 seconds left and they don't do a 2 for 1. They let the clock go down to 20 seconds before they hoist a shot. I think that is the worst coaching and most frustrating thing to watch. I always say to myself they have to do a 2 for 1 it only makes sense. And I'm usually let down.

or when you lose all your money and friends and sanity

Savage0765 · 05-14-09, 12:19 PM

YOu really know ur a gamble when u use the casino option in ur sportbook loll and loose all ur capping win on craps or BJ

peeiempee · 05-14-09, 12:51 PM

Or when betting the over, you get happy when a team is down and the pg doesn't pick up the ball until half court.

k22t · 05-14-09, 01:30 PM

These things happen to me all the time lol.. nothing more pisses me off than chris paul running around under the basket wasting his sweet old time on my overs also lol

rick_213 · 05-15-09, 03:18 AM

The worst thing is when you lose one bet and then you increase your next bet and lose that one..and the vicious cycle continues..."chasing the losses" is the worst and i did it tonight with boston and then got burned again with the lakers..pathetic!

Wish I had gotten over it long ago

Potential of being a great thread here.

When you refuse grandmas afternoon THANKSGIVING dinner because your afraid to move while the Cowboys are covering with 20 mins to go and afraid if you move, you'll jinx the pick.

Vincepcion · 05-15-09, 07:11 AM

When a team is up by 25+ and you yell at the TV during missed free throws because you bet the over

Really degenerate thing I did: not change my underwear for 4 days when I was on the hottest betting streak of my life...thought they were lucky

I feel like I'm gonna regret saying that lol

cuteboy86hi · 05-15-09, 07:26 AM

When u wish even for ur hometown club, that your whole family has loved all their life to loose cos you've a bet on the opponents.

when you are sweating sitting in front of your computer watching the espn box score for two hours of the UC-Riverside and Cal Poly basketball game.

When you think gambling is the way to pay for your college tuitions

rick_213 · 05-15-09, 02:20 PM

similar to The General's comment. Sitting there with your remotes aligned in a perfect row and not getting up from the chair to use the washroom until the game ends or at least the quarter/half time. How bout this one, change the channel from the high def one to the regular one, if your luck is not working in HD, or vice versa.

When you're going on vacation and you have to make bets before you go; you write them down so you can check the results when you arrive at your destination.

sweetjones55 · 05-15-09, 07:13 PM

I won that UC-Riverside bet by the way. I thought it was the biggest trap of the year as Cal Poly was the worst team in college basketball last year. They won 6 games ATS all year long and had not beaten one team with a winning record. UC was 17-13 (2nd in the conference) and the line was Cal Poly -1. Cashed UC +1 as they won outright by 7.

JumpoffJoeBeezy · 05-15-09, 07:45 PM

I'm with the UC-Riverside guy. Its been countless times where I'm throwing my hands in the air watching the Gamecast of MLB games..

When it takes too long to go.. I can't resist just have to let out a "WHERE TF IS THE NEXT PITCH!?"

d2bets · 05-15-09, 10:22 PM

you don't know what to do tonight with no NBA action.

Mac4Lyfe · 05-15-09, 10:38 PM

The finest ass in the world is waiting butt naked in the other room and by the time the game is over, the spread is covered, she's fast asleep...

You order room service on the crap table...

This is very sad, but i ran out of diapers and kept my daughter in shit- filled diapers for a whole half of the raptors-twolves game! I won the game and finally bought diapers and some rash treatment
