Most enjoyable aspect of sportsbetting and most frustrating

[dave nz]

For me most enjoyable, would be watching a bet at huge odds that is in with a great chance of winning. Also the obvious, when you recieve the money from your books. Or seeing your account balances increase.

Most frustrating, computer issues at a crucial moment. Also having leans but you decide not to bet them, only to watch them cash!


What for you?

I think capping a game is the most enjoyable for me...its fruit would be winning it.

Most frustrating is being on a losing streak. Now I get off the wagon for a week or two and sometimes a month when I detect it early.

Most annoying for me is, keeping my emotions in check.

Most enjoyable thing is the lead up until the bet and how a lean can take shape by weeks end into an extremely confident one, especially the NFL since games are a week apart.

Most frusterating has to be when you feel like you or your bet had abnormal bad luck. If you can be honest and not sweat just plain bad luck youll be alot healthier. Abnormal bad luck is hard to shake no matter the size of the bet. All apart of the game though, that has to be overstood going in.

The best part is watching your picks come in and the worst part is losing by half a point.

Winning and losing, respectively.

I agree with that also.

I'm too emotional. Highs are too high and lows are too low. Have learned to control it somewhat in terms of managing bank but the emotional peaks and valleys still exist....they just aren't as profound anymore. If I can ever just get to the point when I have ice in my veins I think I'll have a chance to take it even a step farther.

My favorite part is calling a game so right and the opposite is calling one so bad and letting it get to me.

The best part is when your hard work pays off in a win, or when you get the win on a heart stopping last play.

The frustrating parts are when I say I think this team & this team will win, but since I am not totally sure & dont bet. What happens? They of course win, and that is money I could have had.

Other things are when you lose on a missed free throw OR lose when the guy hits that dreaded 3 at the buzzer that doesn't affect the result of the game, but your wager.

Most enjoyable part is winning on a consistent basis. The most frustrating is being on the wrong side of the right bet.

aside from obv of winning and losing

knowing early in a game that regardless of the outcome that you will atleast break even, happened in the vancouver/ottawa game a couple nights ago with vancouver in reg and the over

passing on a lean that would have been a losing bet (opposite being laying off what would have been a winner)

I also find enjoyment in hedging futures to guarantee a profit

all comes down to the dollars really

by far the most enjoyable thing is bashing people who lose


most frustrating is when it's you they're bashing

enjoyable- cappin a game to a tee, so good that u should have told them not to play cuz u already knew the outcome.

frustrating- watching professional athletes/teams play like they dont give a f@*k. not sayin that they are supposed to care about the # but in nhl and nba alot of these guys take nights off and i hate it. nba more than any other sport i find.
