    almost losing would mean you won

    we know what you mean though, and there really aren't that many games where you're crushed early with no hope

    definitely just getting buried. had jeremy chardy in a tennis parlay, and the mofo dragged it out all the way to a 3rd set tiebreaker before finally losing. i knew he was gonna lose, waste of time

    had orlando magic on the other hand, no problem with that.

    If im out drinking/gambling with buddies then give me the sweat. If im at home, watching games then end it early so I can go do something else.

    Close one allows one to keep their interest but it can be a major sweatfest indeed. Had the Raps last night against Denver and laid the -1.5. Of course the Raps ended up winning by 1. Took the Raps tonight against NY and got it all back and then some so easy come easy go.

    Losing a close one is the worst because you look at the boxscore and get pissed off at the amount of turnovers/missed shots/shooting percentage/missed free throws. I've broken my fair share of things because of these instances haha.

    buried, last year had dallas -4 or something against san fran. Game goes to ot looks like it's a guarantee loss, then romo play fakes hit jesse holly in stride what looks like an 80 yd touchdown then he gets caught at the 1 yd line, toughest shit ever

    Yeah I don't bet for action. At least not amounts that I'm going to stress over the result. Any big bets however I prefer them to be lopsided. Nothing worst than sweating a big bet on a close game, regardless of the result.

    Definitely buried early on, at least give me a chance to hedge at halftime or grab something live. I had the magic last night, had a feeling wasn't getting any miraculous comeback so I grabbed Atlanta live -18.5. Ended up just losing juice, but at least I got the opportunity to even do so.

    I mean sometimes your team will comeback when gett
    ing killed early on, but a team the caliber of Orlando, I want want outta that ASAP before too much damage is done

    Gamblers live to almost lose their bets. Although it usually ends up almost win their bets. Either way we don't want blow outs we want the gambol sweat.
