I use Cash Out constantly and I'm going to defend it. Not the math. I know the math is bad. The feeling of watching a four-leg parlay sitting three legs in with the fourth leg in progress is almost unbearable. I've got $180 available to Cash Out. The final leg needs to land to pay $400. The...

I did something like matched betting without knowing it was a thing. When I first signed up to FanDuel they gave me a promotional bet. I used it and won. Felt like I was ahead from the start. The psychological effect: I felt like betting was more positive expected value than it actually was...

My staking is completely based on the parlay size and what I feel like spending that week. Five dollar parlay. Twenty dollar parlay. Depends on how excited I am about the games. There's no bankroll concept in what I do. Just disposable entertainment spending. Reading this thread: I'm not sure...

Okay I bet SGPs constantly and I'm going to defend them. Not the value. I know they're not good value. Nobody thinks they're good value. But the experience. Sunday NFL. I've got Mahomes over 2.5 touchdowns, Chiefs -3, and Travis Kelce over 65 receiving yards, all in one bet. I'm now invested...

Oh Klaus.

I've never bet on a sport I genuinely know nothing about. Like I have requirements. I follow the Chiefs. I follow the NFL. I have views on things. I've seen people in my group chat throw money on random sports they've never watched because the odds looked interesting. Cricket. Darts. Random...

Uber. About a year ago. Long ride. Driver was playing some game on his phone at red lights. I asked about it. Turned out it was a betting app. He asked if I bet. I said yes. He asked how I was doing. I said honestly I was probably down a bit overall. He laughed. Not mean. Just like I'd said...

Five dollars on a player prop once. My friend was doing it and I wanted to join in but wasn't interested in the game at all. Just wanted to have something going so I wasn't the person watching without a stake. Didn't follow the game closely enough to know if my player was performing. Checked...

I'd definitely still do it. Maybe not the same sports. Maybe more things I actually care about rather than games I have no connection to. But here's what I think I'd actually bet on without money involved. Television. Award shows. Reality competitions. Who wins Survivor. Who gets eliminated...

This question is making me work harder than I expected. The excited feeling I can describe immediately. The parlay hitting. The group chat going crazy. The posting the slip. Happy is different. There was one evening last autumn. Small bet on a Chiefs game. Nothing special. They won. I was...

My group chat girls. I trust them completely in the normal friend sense. But reading this thread I'm realising I've never told any of them my actual lifetime losses. I told my sister. I told this forum. I haven't told the people I watch games with every week. So I trust them with everything...

This started as a question about what to do during a losing bet. The answer might just be: don't be alone.

I'm going to be nicer to the girl who hit the parlay. She won something. She's happy about it. Whatever I felt about that said nothing about her and something about me I should probably look at.

Margaret always sees the thing underneath the thing.

Prof that's so quietly devastating. She didn't even know she was helping.
