An Observation

[frankb03]

There seems to be much anger and frustration tonight.

Guys try to remember this is sports. In the grand scheme of everyday life sports is meaningless. There's things far more important. We should keep a better perspective on reality.

Tough beats suck. But they happen all the time. Learn to accept all loses especially the tough ones. We have no control over what happens on the football field. It's important not to get too high after winning or too low after losing.

If one is getting very upset over losing a bet than one is probably betting too much.

what the fuck are you talking about mother-------er???

just kidding....

a lot of it is the by product of losing money....but i always think of the movie A Bronx tale and how Deniro loves the yanks and the mob boss says the yanks could give a fuck about your dad or his rent.....in fact your dad probably takes the losses harder than the players.....Its just a hobby fellas...

what gets my goat a little is guys who love to pounce when things go bad

[ChuckLazar]

The frustration seems to come from betting more than one can afford! This same thing has been going on a lot this year..
On the other hand some people simply have nothing but BAD luck and shouldn't gamble!!!
This is just my take on things here in the past year.....

Tony, so true. Watch the players after the games. Very rarely do they show any emotion. Win or lose. The fans and bettors take the results of the games more serious.

that's because the players are making millions and could probably care less... in the grand scheme of things

EAGLES MOTHERFUCKING SUCK! THEY HAVE NO FUCKING HEART.

Totally agree! I'd have a hard time showing any negative emotion from losing a ballgame knowing I was going to be cashing a $200,000 check that week just for showing up.

Go watch a high school game when they have nothing on the line except pride and playing for the love of the game. Lots of emotion shown win or lose in my opinion.

HEY FRANK, WTF DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BETTING?!!!!

Just kidding. I was one who was pissed off royally over that Giants game. Was only a regular play for me. But it ruined my day. Sorry if I pissed off anyone (which I usually do).

I started this thread because it seemed a few guys were upset with tough loses. We all get pissed and frustrated. Sometimes we need someone to remind us what's really important.
