    Why is it easier to win Mental Bets than Real $ Bets???

    Anybody ever lose like 3 bets in a row and then see a bet you want to make but for whatever reason you dont get the bet in ,

    in enough time and then after not betting it ...it turns out that bet won...

    and you see that many of your leans for the day won but the games you actually pulled the trigger on lost?

    does shit like that happen to yall?

    Mental bets are not real money so you do not care and you're more relaxed

    I'm with you on this... but there are times when my leans lose as well. So I guess it evens itself out.

    Lets say Manitoba is playing Red Deer. I mentally bet Manitoba and then real bet Red Deer so either way I know i picked a winner. Helps with confidence

    Just bet smaller. I make the mistake of pumping up the $ on plays and it's stressful as hell.

    You have never won a bet based on your mentality. Unless you found someone to bet you were mentally competent and you took their action.

    Your "mental" bets lose just as often, you just don't remember them like you do the "mental" winners
