Have You Ever Caught Yourself Lying About a Win? Exaggerating to Someone Who Wasn't There?

[FadeThePublic]

Which is why the forum exists.

We need somewhere to put the story.

The bet without the telling is only half of what we actually wanted.

yeah...

been thinking about this thread since the start...

all the exaggerated wins i told emma...

the real thing i wanted wasn't the money...

wasn't even her belief that things were turning around...

just wanted someone to hear the story...

wanted to be the person the story was about...

even for five minutes...

ahah I do this all the time. I thought I was the only one.

Twenty years of documented betting. Never once documented what I said about it to other people.

Might be the more revealing record.

Agreed.

The spreadsheet tracks outcomes.

The gap between the spreadsheet and what we say out loud tracks something else.

Something I am less comfortable examining.

The highlight reel conversation I have with my players.

Going to be harder to deliver now.

Sending my group chat an actual losing bet receipt this weekend.

Not a big deal. Just for once.

See how it feels to put the real version out there.

Princess actually doing the thing again.

Legend.
