When You Have Money On A Game....

Do you stay awake until the game is over? Or do you just say I`m tired and I`m going to bed?

I bet a lot of early games so I know the outcome before I go to bed. When I do bet a game that comes on late and then try to go to sleep, I find myself not being able to sleep and checking the score or bug eyed watching it on TV in bed. lol

I tend to stay awake also. Will try to go to sleep, but if I have a decent wager on it then I usually can't sleep and will end up turning the TV back on.

Even if I am about to go to sleep, I usually check my phone every minute anyway. It's hard to just go to sleep and wake up to find out if you win

I usually don't go to bed until my last bet is decided. If I happen to fall asleep, I'll usually wake up and check the results. I think I have a problem.....

I need to get me one of those. Instead of getting out of bed or looking at the TV or computer with blurred vision. I can just put on my cheaters and have the cell phone under my chin. That way I can be nice and comfortable from the shock of the outcome.

Hey Boys,

I am a sucker for punishment & I end up watching the game. Of course, if its a baseball total, I wont watch as it can be frustrating when you have an over & runners are getting stranded all over the yard. But for the most part, I will watch it and root like heck the team I want wins, because if they do, its such a great adrenalin rush!
