    Do pushes feel like losses to you or wins??
    For me, I think it's more of a loss.

    Went 2-0-2 today but it doesn't feel like I was perfect or undefeated... Obviously 4-0 would be better but I feel like 3-1 or even 2-0 would be much better as well.

    I guess it's all circumstantial though... Pushing the over today in the Cards/Cubs game was definitely a win.

      Feels like a win. "Remember - a push is as good as a reload" as said in Reload's coveted 10 Commandments of Reload-ing.

        Depends on the amount.. your your a % bankroll grinder I'd careless if it were a PUSH... but if I was on the edge of my seat with a G on the line .. looking to not get a LOSS in an UNDER and it's pushing atm.. i'd take it happily

            depends on the game. if the game is 5-3 going into the 6th and i have under 8 the push sort of feels like a win. if i had the over it would sort of feel like a loss.

            however if it isn't an extreme case, it's just a push really. no emotion. on to the next day

              Depends if it was a lucky cover to get the push or shoulda been a easy win. Won't complain with a Backdoor push

                Depends on the push, usually a win considering my recent record...

                    a push is a push and feels like a push, but mathematically speaking is a loss, it means that the bookie had is right(perfect in fact) and shouldnt have been bet at all.

                            Does almost getting off feel the same as getting off? If you almost got off but didn't then you merely wasted your time. Only time it feels great is if the condom breaks, you stress for 3 days and the pregnancy test turns out negative. Then you feel like you escaped with a lucky break.

                                This is like shari avatar, you can almost see the but you dont, at the end of the day, you just tormented yourself to get nothing.

                                          Depends on the push. If I got lucky and got the push - a win. If the team fukked up, and I got the push - loss.

                                          Push feels exactly what it is otherwise, better than a loss - worse than a win.

                                            I feel like it's more a waste of time to me. Not mad because I didn't win but it was an entire 3 hours or so wasted following a game I wouldn't have otherwise for nothing. That being said I had over 8 in the whitesox/angels tonight.

                                                  If we pushed every bet we would all have cash instead of being broke

                                                    Does the forum pays you enough to have cash getting "pushes" only?
