    Sports betting is not a joke!

    Its fuking crazy.....I'm sweating my games right now......I'm shaking,smoking......dont know whats going on. I just ate a whole large pizza without noticing...now I feel like I'm going to explode. And at the end of the day if I win I call that a good day. Gambling....must be the hardest profession known to mankind.

    I was in class waiting to give a presentation tonight. I have the Nats/Reds under and when I saw 4 runs in the 2nd inning I started getting that jittery, pissed off nervous feeling (plus I was drinking a coffee)

    Needless to say my presentation sucked.

    Horrible last ten minutes I've had lost the Rockies on a 2 out walk off dinger and Cincy gets a garage run in the bottom of the 9th for me to push my under 9 bet

    after your bets are in really no point in stressing the shit bro, nothing you can do will change the outcome...go to the gym, use some energy somehow, something besides just sitting around stressing a baseball game where anything can happen.....

    You need to learn to realize that not all of your bets will win and if you are a skilled player and you are betting with an edge you should be confident that win or lose that long term you will profit.

    I agree with all the posts so far. I know you cant win em all, but there is no sure thing that you cant lose em all. Its crazy these couple of days. Sometimes you lose the easiest game and you win the one that you just put some change on it out of desperation

    im not in it for the rush brother...im not gonna lie and say i dont love the highs and lows, but in the end this about making money and after i put my play in i dont really stress, win or lose i feel i made the right play and would make it again....nothing you can do once the chips are down besides relax, really no point in causing unnecessary stress over 1 game when in the big picture that 1 game ultimately doesnt mean shit....

    I agree 100% I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't profitable.

    8 months later-
    tanner, what exactly is a "garage run"? Is that like in baskets, a backdoor cover? ...never heard of this before.

    If that was all happening, you aren't a professional, even if you do it for a living.

    depends what your playing

    If your betting for fun its not serious

    If your betting money you do not have or betting serious money its not a joke

    Depends on net worth and bet sizes

    coach is right.

    Three days of -$200 = money that could have been paid on the mortgage. Nickles and dimes add up.

    not really sure why anyone would play for fun.
