How hard is it not to watch the games on TV you bet on

goldengoat · 12-15-05, 11:49 PM

a lot of times if it is not going my way I will not watch it

sometimes I peek but I usually play games til they are over and sometimes I watch them if I need more info for future wagers

I don't watch a lot of games since I have a lot of action daily. The only ones that I never miss are NFL games.

I follow my bets on the Internet. I actually don't like watching them on TV because I get too worked up and its not worth it.

I hardly watch them either. I get scores on the internet or my cell when I'm out.

Watchin the scores on the net beats the shit out of the f5 key

i could go without watching them personaly. but, i'll watch them if there on TV. unless i have an o/u

No need for me to watch the games I bet on. Seems I have better luck when I watch the scores refresh on the computer or my phone. Plus I seem to get a little pissed off when I watch the games.

I have to watch the games to see how teams perform but I tape them so I can fast-forward. I know the final score beforehand.

I don't bet a lot of money so it's never nerve-wracking when I watch the game live. But it was exciting to check on internet my last of a 7 games parlay. It took about 10 minutes to figure out what had happened on the last play of the game (return for a td, flag on the play).

buddybear,

I frickin' hate it when I can't watch a game I have played, 'cause to me part of the enjoyment is seeing how the game unfolds...I rely on internet radio and covers.com in-games...

Unless it is a game I am interested in for non-gambling purposes, I can't watch a game I have under in.

i track em all online but if i watched every game i would go nuts so i don't watch any of em but then again i only play for 5 dollars so it's really pretty trivial for me

The covers.com in-games are great. There is usually a poster somewhere out there who has a radio/video link or they can give updates that are much faster than any internet site.
