    Lets say you bet a game BIG...
    Lets say you bet a game BIG and you're winning, at what point do you start watching the clock or counting how many more outs to go just as much as actually watching the game? If I bet an under in baseball i am always counting how many outs and in football i am always watching the clock saying WTF he wAS still in bounds!! Whyd you stop it??? I think everyone watches the clock more when betting an over/under than the actual game.

    but i mean lets say you have a side and its winning. I start at about the 7th inning in baseball and the start of 4th/end of 3rd for football/basketball

        If I'm watching a game, I typically enjoy watching the entirety of it whether I have any action or not.

          Tony, go to Mcdonalds or Starbucks. I believe those two places have wifi internet. Also, they have these places called libraries, that have computers with internet.

            I'm very weird that way. If I have an under in baseball, I think that I'm already winning from the beginning. When teams score, I figure out if I'm ahead or behind pace and how many scoreless innings will it take to get on pace. There could be 3 innings to go and if a team scores 1 run, I lose. I never give up. In my mind, until it's an official loss, I think that I have a chance. If I'm winning, just looking to avoid multiple players getting on base

                    When I was younger I would pretty much live and die on every play even if I was winning. I would curse the tv/refs/coaches/players/girlfriends/even my pets if anything didn't go my way. I had no sense of money management back then and was way too emotionally involved. Now I much more disciplined but I still get emotional over blown saves in the ninth, late TD, empty netter etc but its typically after the game is over when I'm reviewing my plays that I get upset over the results and much less live. I used to buy all the sports packages and just flip through all the games I had plays on and it probably cost me 10 years on my life.

                      Typically I will urinate myself somewhere around the 5:00 mark. Unfortunately, its all downhill from there.
