    Making an Emotional Decision: Will cost you in Sports and Life
    I have found in Sports Gambling that making an emotional decision is about 70% to 80% wrong.
    It also works the same in life.

    From The Mayo Clinic:
    Strong emotions can lead to poor decisions (Duh!)



    When you get desperate and stressed out, it is time to take a step back and re-group. Why?

    1. Bookies love this sh$t
    2. Touts make so much money (Monday bailout). They are no better than us.
    3. How many times have you received an email and wanted to respond and lay them out?
    I immediately respond, but I save it in my Draft Folder and work on something else for 30 mins. I read it again and no way will I send that!
    4. We have a bunch of Family health issues and "family members" are freaking out and making stupid decisions. Step Back a Little!

    No matter the situation, step back, analyze, and make the logical decision.
    If that is not possible at the time, fade yourself!


    I am sure many people have realized this same thing, but those strong emotions get in the way.

    Please share your experiences, thanks.

      Hey VICK, I am not sure what that means. Maybe, I am getting too old.

            It is always good to jerk off before you call a hooker. You can save money doing this.

                  What is all this "jerk off stuff"? What does that have to do with the subject?

                  I guess you people are just haters or losers.

                        I asked for opinions and got them!
                        I don't think people are addressing the issue, but it's all good!

                              everyone gets "overwhelmed' by the pressures life brings to bear from time to time, the worst thing is when you have, a tough decision to make and do not know which way to turn..as you say....step back, assess, get a good night's sleep..be ready to go the next day, you think much better when you are fresh, then when fatigued
