    How long does it take you to recover?
    How long does it take you to recover from a really tough loss? When I say really tough loss, it must have 3 components:

    1) A lot of money. Either a large straight bet or maybe the last leg of a would be winning parlay. This is relative when it comes to $ amount, we all bet different amounts.

    2) You really needed the win. Either because you were having a bad weekend/day, or you are just barreled in to begin with and need the money real bad.

    3) It has to be a brutal loss (e.g., missed last second FG, loss on a horrible call by the ref, fluke play)

    So how long?

    It takes me about 2-3 days to recover. I guess I am slow. Still burning from that Denver loss.

      Nothing different than what I would usually do. I'm just still really pissed off and angry.

      I typically don't have many of these losses because I don't chase losses or bet usually large amounts but it happens every now and then.

              I lost a ton of money on the Oakland ML cuz of Janikowski's missed 33 yd FG a few weeks ago at the end of the game.

              Took me a while to get over that.

                              Not that long since I'll have one every week.

                              So used to it by now, I expect it.

                              One bowl, a year or two ago, Buffalo was up 3td's late in the 3rd Q, Would have been 15k for me.

                              Still not over it.

                              Just like Losing AK to A7 for 10k, ain't over that.
