    Badbeats, how many can you take?
    How many bad beatings in a row can you guys take, before you completely go bananas and decide to go all in.

    I suffered two very profitable ones in the waning secs during the last two day, and serious thinking about pulling the trigger. I'm going all in if this 3rd one happens.

      Never go all in period in my opinion. There's gonna be those days when bullpens melt down and F you in the butt. Or teams parade to the FT line and F your under bet in the last minute of a game. Take your losses for a day and be disciplined. It's tough, I've certainly been guilty of throwing caution to the wind. But once you control that urge, you'll be in better shape.

          He's talking about sports, not poker.

          Me? My middle name is bad beats.

                Yeah, I was talking about sports. Psychologically, the bad beat factor is probably the downfall of most gamblers here. It hard not to vent out some steam after such occasions, and we end up chasing by betting on unfavorable lines.

                  Actually I think I already had a 3rd one, last night. The Giants up by 2 in the 9th, gave up 1 run after they rested Matt Cain for the day. He was shutting down the Cubs all day and they should of gave him the complete game. Had that game at +170 parlayed with a WNBA pick that was already good, and was just waiting for 3 outs from a slumping hitting Cubs team that day.

                    So you won then, good, yea I've been taking some bad beats in MLB FF lately, go scoreless through 3 innings then have the 2.5 ERA pitcher go nuts/errors, etc. and end up losing. Fukin sucks but that's why you gotta stay cool during MLB/WNBA bullshit season and save your money for when we kill the bookie on NFL.
