Be truthful..winning easy, close, losing close ?

ok

many of us have this habit as a hobby...some as a living but this is geared for those of us seeking gambling as a challenge, thrill etc

I will be honest, I am sometimes disappointed when a game wins really easily, like an over that is IN before halftime.

I 'almost' enjoy losing a tough one than winning an easy one . If ya know what I mean. For the enjoyment that I seek when playing a game, wither with cash or in contests.

I would rank em this way with my favorite on top

1. Winning by the narrowist of margins
2 a.losing by the narrowinst of margins
2 b. winning easily
3 losing easily

in other words, its all about the thrill

I always like the thrill of having that close win or the win that comes in the finals seconds or minutes of a game

But I would much rather not sweat one out, rather have it locked in as soon as possible. Its all about winning that money

Winning close is 1 for me. It seems that if a win is too quick, I will bet a game I wouldn't normally bet later that day.

On the flip, there is nothing worse than losing in the 4th, 9th, or 3rd (hockey). Just plain awful. It's like bedding a hottie just to find out she's on the rag.

I agree totally.....I love the super close wins the most.

When I am betting more than I should though I prefer the easy ones and counting down the clock waiting to collect.

PEACE
