The only way you could have picked 'worse' teams to bet on in that stretch would be if you had played the cubs, phillies and padres.
Since its make believe the threads you can start are more 'spectacular' than the make believe winning. Posting winners on forums doesnt mean anything you should know that, the guys who crash and burn are the guys who get all the attention. You should know that too, that mythical okc play you made garnered probably 10k hits and comments the past few weeks. It also helps perpetuate threads like this where you play up your sad sack loser image for people to either continue to bury you or console you or give you 'advice' on how to get back on track.
Posting is all about image, especially around here. Some guys want to be taken seriously, some guys want to entertain, some guys want to be as over the top as they can be to generate feelings in people to keep themselves (the poster) relevant, even though they are just another anonymous (more than likely ghost) that doesnt have a single positive contributing asset to offer anyone about anything, but find some sort of 'stardom' on a sports gambling forum.
