    Would you ever wish another gambler good luck???

    Not me

    Why would you want to dry up liquidity at books? An inefficient market is preferable for any gambler

    Guys, betting against yourself is a losing proposition

    God bless everyone

    Only if they are taking the same bets as me. If they're bet is the exact opposite of mine then they MUST lose in my mind.

    Telling someone "good luck" when they're up against you just demonstrates good faith and the detachment from the actual result that is required to be a winning gambler.

    The only thing that tilts me is when a poker dealer says "good luck everyone". That's impossible. We're not playing blackjack here, buddy.

    OP , do you think you can change the result of games by being a dikk to people who are rooting for the other team? b/c last I checked the Cleveland Browns and Oakland Raiders still aren't winning.

    By wishing people "good luck" you are inherently admitting you believe you can change the result.

    I don't believe I can, so I don't say anything. I don't wish anyone good luck. I don't wish anyone bad luck.

    I wish people good luck who are against me because in my head I subconsciously think it will jinx them so in reality im telling them I hope you get raped but in a way that they think is nice.

    Not me, if I want someone to lose their rooster then I'll tell them.

    I've said it a few times at SBR.

    I always wish someone good luck regardless of what they are betting on. It's not like it makes a difference now does it.

    I wish you all the best of luck in your present and future bets, ladies and gentlemen.

    I also wish people good luck, maybe sometimes it's more of just me being used to saying it all the time (like how we say "take care", "have fun", etc. And no, I never mean it the opposite way even if he's against me coz it's not as if it would make any much difference anyway.
