if they bitch about picks losing, they probably aren't good friends to begin with. although giving out seattle last sunday as free money was pretty bad on your part.

The betting game should be played the same as the stock game. Play with only money you can afford to lose.

Now if he lost and can afford the lose play again double. If lose again 4x it. That's what I do and always come back to where I was or get some money out of it.

My roomates seen me making money all year. Decides he wants to get in the game, and he starts tailing my picks.

Yes. We're roomates, but don't really have the same social circle. He bartends on the weekends, and thats where he found his local.

He doesn't know anything about gambling. Thinks he could just hit a few winners then cash out. I could care less, but now I have to listen to the moron cry all week.

I hate giving picks to friends. Then i feel obligated and they are just mooching. I always stand by the philosphy of betting is personal. Do it by yourself. Too much influence can happen.

I gave out KC +3 and moron got it at game time KC -1. Funny thing is i ended up switching to OAK at game time. Just another reason why its hard to give football picks.
