Do you follow your bet or just check the score when the game is over?

flyingillini · 08-10-09, 07:39 PM

I am always out in the field with my work, in houses, meetings etc etc. I have my Iphone and Macbook everywhere I go. They both are running 24/7 with live games or scores...

CashMoney · 08-10-09, 08:17 PM

Can't help it but I'm a scoreboard watcher. Been getting much better lately though.........

keyboarding · 08-10-09, 08:23 PM

I'm a subscriber to mlb.tv, got the app on my iPhone, and usually can't stop watching not only games I bet on but games I thought about betting on and games in a series I might chase. I also love the game of baseball.

ujacol · 08-10-09, 08:26 PM

Jimmy0607 · 08-10-09, 08:27 PM

Can you actually watch the game on the Iphone

BobHarvey · 08-10-09, 08:29 PM

I'm a scoreboard watcher. Usually CBS sportsline. When I'm out ESPN's scoreboards arent' bad either. I wanted to add that I can't watch a game I've got money on. It makes me too nervous. I'd prefer to follow it on line with my other games.

Yes. They upgrade the MLB At-Bat app, which in its original version is solid, offering Gameday updates and radio feeds for both teams, as well as video highlights. Now you can stream games with the upgraded version. I don't bother since it'll **** up my data plan usage and I prefer listening.

At Bat 2009 brings LIVE baseaball to the iPhone and iPod touch. At Bat 2009 now delivers 1-2 LIVE streaming games a day. Also included are live Audio, pitch-by pitch, and in-game video highlights.

Yes, you can... you need to have mlb.tv and the mlb at bat 2009 application which is only 9.99, I watch any game I want on the Iphone, the whole complete game, it is such a cool thing to have.

I recently ordered MLB.tv which is awsome.

It kind of pisses me off with the random "media errors" and that you can't sync up with radio feeds, but yeah, it's a solid investment for degenerate gamblers with very understanding wives/girlfriends.

jjgold · 08-10-09, 08:49 PM

I watch scores on ticker, computer and phone

TodaysAction · 08-10-09, 08:53 PM

Blargh · 08-10-09, 08:55 PM

I try to keep up-to-date on the scores as much as possible. I try to watch the game unless I am on the wrong end of a blowout. The I am usually too disgusted to watch.

pdx107 · 08-10-09, 08:56 PM

watch games if i can, if its a day baseball game im constantly checking the score online at work

ujacol · 08-10-09, 08:59 PM

if you didnt have a snazy iphone nor the mlb pass, atdhe.net use to have most sporting events.. its a shame that theres nothin on it anymore..

Shortstop · 08-10-09, 11:54 PM

On my BlackBerry: MLB.com for baseball. ESPN Mobile for hoops and football.

pimike · 08-10-09, 11:55 PM

Follow the game any way I can

EaglesPhan36 · 08-11-09, 12:31 AM

Watcher for sure, especially since I am unemployed and have nothing better to do.

Rich Boy · 08-11-09, 12:34 AM

If its a really big bet, then I probably wont watch.

FreeFall · 08-11-09, 01:14 AM

I'd rather not watch, but if It's on TV at a friends house I'll sit down.

Mikail · 08-11-09, 03:14 AM

I really shouldnt watch but I cant resist. I have tried to wait til the end of the night but I cant resist. I will only stop watching if the team i play on is being blown out then I an so pissed I cant stand it anymore.

TheBeautifulGame · 08-11-09, 03:23 AM

I'll usually keep an eye on the score of a game or watch it I can. Makes you feel that somehow you can chage the result by watching it

aneurysm00 · 08-11-09, 05:48 AM

I'm usually elsewhere in the evening (when the games are mostly on). So, I try to avoid the score and then watch every game I bet on the next morning in condensed game format through mlb.tv (just the outs, hits, errors, etc.)
Keeps me excited this way rather than just checking the score.

MexicanStallion · 08-11-09, 06:59 AM

I do both. It just depends on what the sport is.

MartinBlank · 08-11-09, 07:04 AM

I usually have my portable XM/SIRIUS radio with me 24/7---so I can get a score at all times. For cripes sake, I actually LISTENED to the golf tournament while playing on Saturday. That was a first.

head_strong · 08-11-09, 07:04 AM

I always start off watching the game and will do so until my team is losing, once that happens I usually turn the channel then turn back in 15 minutes and hope they have turned things around. If they are still losing I turn it again, then come back in another 20 minutes or so. I can't stand watching my team lose, so I feel like I'm minimizing the pain. If they reclaim the lead I'll watch again and will continue to watch as long as they are winning.

I'm the opposite. I prefer to watch if I'm losing to see where I went wrong. If I'm winning, don't care because I was right.

I try to keep on eye on the scoreboard. If it's a good matchup I'll watch

Panekkkk · 08-11-09, 12:11 PM

I am a habitual score stalker. I will lurk that shit from any shadow and from any angle I can. Day or night. Even at work. Sometimes, I wish I could stop, even for a minute or two, but the supple sight of that sexy score just keeps me coming back for more. It's not entirely my fault though -- the score can be such a tease sometimes. In many ways, I am a victim.
