Ye I have my gamecast running in lectures too, the degree is loaded with losers and people ask questions like " do you like baseball" and I reply yes lol. They don't know it is for betting purposes.

I don't know if this has been done before but everyone put some stuff down. I'll start it off. When your out and about and your on your i-phone on ESPN clicking refresh to see if the next pitch was a ball or strike When your at home and you have to leave but you have to see who scores next before you go so you can make a decision on if your bet has a good chance of winning. When your shopping and you see something that costs $100 and you think of a bet that could make you that money. When your on a tilt and you tell yourself if this bet loses I quit When you lose it is a fix and when you win it is good capping Feel free to add yours

sounds about right..

i have more to add here..will do later. Gotta be accurate

When the first thing you do when you wake up is look up Challenger Tennis Game that you played overnight and you can't find the score anywhere!

- When you have a football rotation schedule on your desk at work

- When you get mail from sportsbooks or casinos you have never even heard of before

- You care which way the wind is blowing at Wrigley

- You call the TELL-ME number for scores while driving

EDDIE MONEY LINE · 08-09-10, 08:53 AM

When ur at work, not doing ur job just handicapping games...
When you dvr games at ur office so when you get to work in the morning you can watch...
When your at your grandparents eating lunch and you need to go to the other room to call in a bet before the afternoon games start

plenty more also...haha

shari91 · 08-09-10, 08:54 AM

- when you find yourself screaming at both teams to score because you went big on the over

- when you hope a team loses badly only because you didn't get your bet in on them in time

- when you can remember the name of the ump/ref who screwed your bet 3 years ago but you can't seem to remember your own mother's birthday

Emily_Haines · 08-09-10, 09:04 AM

- when you participate in long winded threads about what is better EV -2.5 -130 or -3 +100
- when you hit refresh ten million times eagerly awaiting the opening lines to be released
- when you scowled family members for unexpected visits on Saturday afternoons in the fall & winter

When you wake up at 6am on a sunday to check the score of a Turkish soccer game

ethandavis2 · 08-09-10, 09:06 AM

uva3021 · 08-09-10, 09:18 AM

The refresh button comment is so true.

Especially, bottom 9th, 2 outs, and u need that last out and keep refreshing but nothing shows up cuz they are constantly trying to pick the guy off at 1st base.

thisisit · 08-09-10, 05:16 PM

When you bet the Hall of Fame game just to get a fix of football action

You know your a gambler when you get paid , and you know it was Patty Venditto's money they were paying you with.

JohnGalt2341 · 08-09-10, 05:26 PM

Virtually ALL of my losses are INCREDIBLY UNBELIEVABLY HORRIBLE BACK LUCK often caused by bad reffing. And all my wins are pure Genius.

Masu485 · 08-09-10, 05:35 PM

I actually like to think it's a fix even when I win. It makes me feel I'm an insider. I can sit back with a cigar and tell my friends 'I told u man, never in doubt. I get the inside info. Here's a dollar'

Been there done that.

Also, Playing Swedish or Finnish hockey games. Thats the worst.

Also, having a heads up PGA tour bet on the 1st round and you are watching hole for hole shots for both players the whole 18 holes on the PGA tour leaderboard.
