      almost losing would mean you won

      we know what you mean though, and there really aren't that many games where you're crushed early with no hope

          Bet orlando and it was the best loss ever. No hope, no sweat, just reality.

              definitely just getting buried. had jeremy chardy in a tennis parlay, and the mofo dragged it out all the way to a 3rd set tiebreaker before finally losing. i knew he was gonna lose, waste of time

              had orlando magic on the other hand, no problem with that.

                I bet for the action. If I get buried early, thats no action. Give me the close one.

                  If im out drinking/gambling with buddies then give me the sweat. If im at home, watching games then end it early so I can go do something else.

                    Close one allows one to keep their interest but it can be a major sweatfest indeed. Had the Raps last night against Denver and laid the -1.5. Of course the Raps ended up winning by 1. Took the Raps tonight against NY and got it all back and then some so easy come easy go.

                      Rather get buried early so I can double up and chase on the 2nd half! Spoken like a true degen

                            Losing a close one is the worst because you look at the boxscore and get pissed off at the amount of turnovers/missed shots/shooting percentage/missed free throws. I've broken my fair share of things because of these instances haha.

                                buried, last year had dallas -4 or something against san fran. Game goes to ot looks like it's a guarantee loss, then romo play fakes hit jesse holly in stride what looks like an 80 yd touchdown then he gets caught at the 1 yd line, toughest shit ever

                                        Yeah I don't bet for action. At least not amounts that I'm going to stress over the result. Any big bets however I prefer them to be lopsided. Nothing worst than sweating a big bet on a close game, regardless of the result.

                                          i disagree

                                          i think there's nothing BETTER than this, gives you adrenaline and makes it exciting

                                                    True losing's losing but you cant tell me some losses arent worse.

                                                    Like you being way up in a hand, all in on turn.... and he gets a miracle card on the river? Those hurt but theyre part of gambling...

                                                    Glad you think youre the authority on whose smart or not based off of internet posts.

                                                    Give me a winner pokernut9999, you can do it..., pal.

                                                      For action and entertainment purposes rather lose a close game.

                                                        Definitely buried early on, at least give me a chance to hedge at halftime or grab something live. I had the magic last night, had a feeling wasn't getting any miraculous comeback so I grabbed Atlanta live -18.5. Ended up just losing juice, but at least I got the opportunity to even do so.

                                                        I mean sometimes your team will comeback when gett
                                                        ing killed early on, but a team the caliber of Orlando, I want want outta that ASAP before too much damage is done

                                                          Nothing worse than losing a game at the end, waste my fukkin time refreshing scores for 3 hrs

                                                            Gamblers live to almost lose their bets. Although it usually ends up almost win their bets. Either way we don't want blow outs we want the gambol sweat.
