Have u ever mentally re-scored a game?

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Because the mental damage of grading it as a loss was too much to bear?

Oakland -14 for me tonite. Had em tied in on 3rd leg of parlays. Mentally, I'm chalking it up as a win. Oak won by 15 (in my mind).

Would mentally be too damaging to absorb it as a loss.

Sort of the opposite of an air-bet. A real bet, but grade the score w/ a pencil + eraser.

Like Andy says in "Shawshank Redemption":
* "Don't u know? Everyone in here is a winner."

Always rechecking the box score next day
Sometimes because of drunkenness
Sometimes because I can’t believe it
Never recheck a win
Always the losses

Have seen a late re-score. Yes, always W to L.

The classic was the old USC/Utah fb game.

Just drove by the prison in mansfield ohio where the Shank was filmed. GREATEST movie of all time,get busy living or get busy dying, thats the qoute for you to get over your loss and move on to the next game

I like that quote Clutchy.

Convincing your bookie to acknowledge the mental re-score can be challenging though.

took d. cousins prop points + boards over 37 as soon as davis was confirmed out tonight - didn't watch the game but followed the box score online some (google) which ended at 31 points 8 boards. When I go back an hour later it's 29 points 8 boards. Made me want to look up the play by play but then I realized what planet I was on and what a waste of time that would be either way.

With all the money in fantasy sports now though, and the nba, nfl, etc., all wanting a piece of the action, maybe I wouldn't doubt there's some dicking around though... at least no less than I would doubt some politician somewhere is skimming public funds. It's money after all. And we are dumb animals.

Classic re-score game that swings ATS:

* I'm holding UNC-Wilm (+5.5).

See a 68-65 Final, grade it as winner. 5minutes later, I see 68-68 (OT). Loses by 7 in OT. ATS Loser.

Shuter, how do u like this for a great gambling tale? This time...with a happy ending!

See my UNC-Wilm post above. 1st part is true:

* 1st score post I see is 65-65 Final, which gets me home under the #.

* Per usual...dog gets run out in Overtime. Score I see is 81-74, final.

I grade it as a loss and move on. 24 hours later...I'm checking scores. MFer, checked it twice. 81-77. They covered! Must have banged in a 3 at horn. Two re-scores, last one in my favor.

Found $$. Doesn't happen to often.

Game earlier this year, I had -4 that won by 6. Next day, I see that bucket went in at buzzer. Won by only 4 = Push.
