Have You Ever Felt Genuine Contempt for a Winning Bettor?

[ParlayPrincess_88]

Margaret always sees the thing underneath the thing.

 

[CoachTony_Bets]

"He had never thought about me once."

That's the part that lands.

The contempt is consuming you. The target of it is completely unaware and unbothered.

The person being harmed by the contempt is the one feeling it.

 

[SharpEddie47]

Margaret's observation is the thread conclusion before the thread concludes.

The contempt is always more expensive for the person feeling it than for the person receiving it.

Who usually doesn't even know it exists.

Running inventory right now.

The people I've felt genuine contempt for in this community.

How much mental space they've occupied.

Whether any of them know.

They don't. None of them.

I've been paying a tax they don't know they're collecting.

the lad from the shops...

successful quiet winner i turned into a fraud in my head...

he never knew...

just kept quietly winning while i quietly resented him for it...

all that energy...

could have just asked him how he did it...

 

[TaffyTipster]

Conor that last line.

Could have just asked him how he did it.

 

[SharpEddie47]

The contempt closed the conversation before it started.

Someone who might have had something worth hearing.

And instead of curiosity you got contempt.

And learned nothing.

While he kept winning.

 

[Klaus]

Have identified two people I have felt contempt toward in this community.

Will not describe them.

But the contempt revealed in both cases an anxiety about my own methodology I had not previously named.

Useful information despite the discomfort of arriving at it this way.

 

[oli_sussex]

Good thread.

The contempt question seemed like it was about other people.

Turned out to be about the person feeling it.

Usually the way.

 

[ParlayPrincess_88]

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.

 

[CoachTony_Bets]

Started dark. Ended somewhere useful.

The contempt is a map of the anxiety.

Follow the contempt and you find the thing you haven't dealt with yet.

 

[DublinDegen]

yeah...

should have asked him how he did it...

genuine regret about that...

just a conversation i didn't have because i was too busy being contemptuous...

cost me more than any losing bet...

 

[FadeThePublic]

Least comfortable one I've started.

The flexing emoji guy from two years ago.

He probably doesn't remember posting it.

I clearly do.

That's the finding.
