    betting emotions..
    its weird. i dont get to emotional when betting on a game. i dont need to watch the game or even worry about the score. i stay level-headed the whole time. win or lose.

    However, if i bet a fight, i get so into the fight. i get really pumped for every hit. its the one time the bet makes the event better. In fact, losing a fight bet, is the only bet that actually pisses me off.

    anybody else have crazy betting emotions?

    It's gotta be the individuals emotions alone. Me I am a Leo, I am aggressive by nature, So when I have any action I get amped up. Common traits I see in most gamblers ....well me have ADHD, and love to dream big, what ever I win is never enough I always need more. When I see some of JJ and Nicky vids one time I spit my water out onto my computer screen. They are so real life .... Raw..... I love that.... I respect that shit.

        Rule 1: always have a backup TV ready so when you break the one you're watching you can swap it out and not miss any action.

          you the man, JJ I agree its like "Life" itself. You learn lessons and become better. My brother is 18 having some issues with his girl, I give him advice he looks up to me but still they dont listen at that age, he will make the mistakes and hopefully learn a little bit. J man I think I may know you...hmm I work for home remodlelers group on the side they are a home improvement company. based out of fairfield. kitchen cabinet refacing, siding, roofing etc. Maybe in passing we met. Look foward to your vid.

                  Make your bet sizes to where it doesnt bother you if you lose. If you bet bigger than this and you get pissed off at every loss you will end up chasing and losing it all.

                      Christ nicky get a hold of yourself Im way past that stage. Let me know if this ever happens to you? You have a whole days worth of work planned and you put your wagers in. You come to the comp and you are losing in the ninth and watch the rest of the game and lose. Next thing that happens is the drive i had getting shit done is gone. I don't want to do shit. Its like the losing bet takes the pep right out of your step.

                        I can relate Thor the key is to make your bet sizes small so it doesn't bother you if you lose.

                        For me when I bet over my head I dont get much of a rush to win the game but it hurts very bad to lose. No win situation.

                            thorry, you serious?? welcome to my world.. i've done this 290000 times in my life. i'd have plans for the gf to go out with her shopping, have a bad day, cancel all plans. i've cancelled so many things and events on acct of gambling ruining my morale. who feels like going out and see people when you are losing money and are down and depressed. thorry, that's why gambling ruins our lives. it takes us out of society, and we become prisoners in our own lives.

                            wiley, jeez, you sound like you have this disease in control. you are lucky.. you seem together.. i wish i was like you, but unfortunately wiley, i am a sick man..

                              OH I didnt know you were a pro Thor. I'm sure it does add a lot more pressure when you have to pay your mortgage with it.

                                I guess you can call me a pro since i do it for a living but Nicky woke me up and im going back to work the first chance i get. Im becoming a hermut. This is a hard way to make an easy living.

                                  Sure Nicky there is nothing you have gone thru that i didn't also . Hell i can never keep a relationship and gamble. I remember times i hoped the final to my game came in before my girl showed up. If she showed up first the game always seemed to lose and i would take it out on her like she was a jinx or some shit. Not hitting her or silly shit like that but the night would have been a lot better off if i would have won. Anything she said would set me off Like it was her fault but she had nothing to do with it.

                                    I'm like you Nicky.If the game is close I am freaking out.When people are around though I can hide my emotions better.Usually if I am watching the game alone and I lose I usually just bash my keyboard or something.Problem I usually have though is that the money I lost is on my mind for the rest of the night or until I start to win some of it back.So sometimes its hard to get to bed after a losing night

                                        I had a girl that I dated for about a year and it was during a time when I was still learning how to become better at gambling and I took my frustrations out on her alot and she put up with it for awhile but after awhile it was to much.Still regret that and wish I was more in control like I am now back then when I was with her. Not much you can do about it though I guess.Just have to learn from your experiences in the past and try to get better in the future

                                            Once in awhile i will pound my fist but i never intentionally break something i have to pay for. Broke a remote once and that was it. Got sick of getting up every five minutes to change the channel.

                                              i know EXACTLY what you guys are saying. been there done that.. 300x over.. when i lose my game and the woman came into the room, i tell her she cost me and she's bad luck.. if i win a game on walk off hr as she just came in the room, i jump her and tell her, omg.. you're amazing, you;'re good luck.. lets go out.. big dinner on me.. i am so happy. when i lose, tough to sleep, especially if i just went 1-9.. and lost a ton.. when i win, i am high. when i lose, i am dpressed and dont want to do anything..
                                              xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxx

                                              Listen to this. I bet Balt the first two games of the Yanks series. Today i mistakenly took the Yanks when i meant to take Baltimore. So i actually won the bet and my emotions don't know what to do. I really should have lost and don't want to do a thing but i won and there is still a little pep in my step. Usually i lose this tyope of wager and then i really get pissed because of a dumb mistake. Man if i would have lost this and had to pay three to one to boot i would be furious.

                                                i have a spotter when i take a trip on salvia (illegal in 2 states) so i don't jump out the window

                                                i have this same individual lock me up, chain me if i lose a nickel, i calm down and lose about 5 lbs so i can't chase. this guy also throws water in my face so i can't sleep more than 2 hours to teach me a lesson. this is worst than the mandated obedience classes JJ has the betjam reps go thru

                                                      I tend to get emotional during big plays in the games I bet.
