Why is it when you decide not to bet - you win?

08-18-09, 04:37 PM

Was looking at the Wolves V Wigan fixture for today and I saw that Wolves top strikers were out so I knew a fellow Irish man, Andy Keogh would feature somewhere. I was considering strongly of placing a small bet on a scorecast for the fun of it. Andy Keogh first goal, Wolves to win 1-0. In the end, I did not place the bet because I thought BETTER of it.

The same reason you flop a set when you decide to fold your hand to a raise. For every bet like this you don't make there's at least one that you do make and lose.

You believe in it, you are loyal to it, would defend it, and yet have no proof of it, other than that, at one point or another, you chose to believe in it. Self-hypnosis. What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

This happened to me on Sunday with the Angels/Orioles Over 11. They scored a combined 25 runs.

it's the same reason why you'll lose 8 team parlays by 1 team losing, yet still only go 2-6 if u'd have played them as single bets.
