I've developed the ability to not sweat a loss if I think it was a good bet. But hasty ill-advised picks in free contest competitions really eat at me! I find myself "rooting home" contest/bracket picks, which I barely ever do with actual bets.

I don't care much about contest picks at all. They are often on a stale line that can no longer be bet at that price.Comment -

Rooting for a contest pick in the name of fun during a game, sure. But the end result, in terms of win/loss, has zero significance to me. Not so for bets.Comment -
I quit playing fantasy sports for a similar reason. If I had a QB or a SP on my fantasy team, it always persuaded my thinking. It's the homer syndrome.Comment -
I don't bet the individual games in the tourney, so I just root for my picks...still pissed VCU didn't win...Comment -
Bets first, contests second.Comment -
My contest picks are the same as my bets. I'll even root against both if it means a classic upset (like pulling for Corpus Christi and VCU this week).Comment -
