    Are you to the point yet that you would rather not watch a game you bet on?

    I Would rather place bets and see how I did at the end of the day. That way it only hurts once.


    Fellow sbr posters, how long have you been sports betting and do u watch the games you have action on?

    A lot times I will just follow the games on the internet and watch at the end if it's close. Especially in the case of Basketball. I find football is a lot easier to watch with money down.

    I do not watch games I have action on as I find it stressful. The higher the wager, the tighter the game the higher the stress level.

    Good question and good luck.

    yeah basketball is the worst to watch because of the runs teams make, just pisses you off. I just check in at the end and see if i won. Baseball is the best sport to follow on espn ticker because it is so simple no need to see a play.

    football and soccer- best to watch when $ is on the line.

    cannot watch the basketball games i bet on. hockey and baseball are fun to watch with a wager because refs don't really ruin it that often. but sometimes you cannot watch because you have stuff to do.

    I am certainly to the point where I hate watching...you just scrutinize and get pissed off way too easily....I almost always exclusively follow online as the scores update...I don't mind seeing the score update say for instance a soccer team scores against your play, but I'd be furious if I was watching the game and the goal was against the run of the play and 3 defenders collided on the play as the striker went in and scored on an open goal because the goalie fell down, etc. I'd rather just see that the opposing team scored and not how as it would only add to the frustration already at hand.

    For another soccer example, Juventus missed a PK in the 1st H today in their match v. Cesena...I'd much rather just see the score staying 0-0 than to find out they got a penalty and missed it if I had Juventus 1H ML.

    I hate watching games I tip....almost exclusively follow online.
