WeinkeToWarrick Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Had a dime swing tonight with Bama ML losing for me (I had half my bet on Bama pick em from over a month ago). Brutal. But almost as bad as the money was sitting with a bunch of friends and having them all root for Clemson and against me because they're non-gamblers and hate to see somebody win money. Why do non-gamblers all have this psychological need to root against us? They think our wins are cheap and too easy of a way to get money? They obviously don't realize the losses. I don't know what exactly it is, but it's universal and it pisses me off to no end. I hate most people on these forums for being fucktards, but at least you're gamblers. Fuck these non-gambling assholes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But almost as bad as the money was sitting with a bunch of friends and having them all root for Clemson and against me Why do non-gamblers all have this psychological need to root against us? They think our wins are cheap and too easy of a way to get money? sSeen it, heard it far too many times........asked my bro-in-law who was a psych major in college about it but in his unscientific approach he only offered that they are 'geeks' But it is annoying as hell, those guys would have rooted for Bama if they thought you had Clemson, really how weird is that? It's pretty much why I keep quite about having money on a game, if I'm out with my best friend who's a degen gambler he likes to be as loud as possible and let everyone know he has money on the game and I watch him get picked apert by perfect strangers at the bar....nobody wants somebody to lose as much as non-gamblers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy kgb Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Its not on the same scale but I did see a guy sitting by himself at a bar, wasn't a sports bar but they had the Raiders game on and 3 guys who appeared to be real fans rooted for the Raiders which peaked the guys interest who was clearly not a sports fan but rooted like a retard against the Raiders the whole game while needed to hear the other groan just to know to cheer he was that clueless..... I understand deep down he just wanted to be involved socially with them and not just a lonely drunk so it still doesn't solve the mystery of the bitter non-gambler.........like to get others take on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWarning Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 It's similar to people talking about their fantasy team when their friends don't play. I know a couple of people at work that ALWAYS win at the casino, never hear them talj about losing at all. I just roll my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeinkeToWarrick Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I bitch about my losses way more than I brag about my wins, so at least with my particular group of friends and acquaintances that isn't it. But maybe I'm just being lumped in with the others. I almost broke the guys' TV last night when Clemson won it and he looked at me and smiled and said Roll Clemson Roll. With $0 on the game and never rooted for Clemson a day in his life. Non gamblers are the social freaks. What the fuck would possess somebody to root against a friend to make money. Looks like your wedding gift just went from a nice grill to a fucking steak knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I have a Super Bowl party every year at my house total sausage party Anyways one friend(wives brother) always walks in the door and ask "who you got" i tell him ,he then takes the other side for a whooping 10 dollars he precedes to cheer against my team/wager the entire game EVERY FUCKING YEAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeinkeToWarrick Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 The guys that do it the worst want to be big shots and talk shit but don't have the stones to make a bet. Gamblers might be irresponsible sometimes but at least we've got balls. Never watching a game I've got big money on again with anybody besides fellow gamblers. Pisses me off too much to have these chickenshits purposefully be annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand the people who bitch about their dime bet if I have 50-100 on it, like I should root against my small (to you) bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deemer Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I don't comment on my bets. I think people don't care or think you're gloting about gambling. Now my buddies know I bet so they'll ask me who I'm on, those buddies won't root against me but won't root for me - just sweat it basically. I think people who come out and tell people "I have X in this game" piss others off. Why? Idk. But I keep it mostly to myself - it is no ones business anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVU Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 If you want to really piss off these guys, tell them you have a dime on both sides and will make a c note no matter who wins. Don't explain further and watch their mind fry right before your eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy kgb Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 How about after you win and the next 5x they see you the first thing out of their mouth 'Did you collect that G yet' or 'What did you do with that money' They want sooo bad for you to tell th m you lost it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trytrytry Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 worse is sitting with a local bookie type who gets +110 on every single play day in and day out, every one and listening to him piss and moan on every call, every close play, every coaching move, and vocally complain if you have an interest in the other team. Hey Ive got 3k "going" here guys. cry me a river dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always Call Heads Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 It applies to gamblers more than anyone. Nobody likes to see someone else win money when they are not winning any. And if they are winning any, they sure don't want you to win too. Post winners on a forum and you will be hated. It is the rule of the road. I would have been rooting against you myself.

WeinkeToWarrick Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 "Geez, how much do you have on this game!?" "No offense, but I think I want the other team to win. I just don't like [picks out a totally random and previously unthought of reason for disliking the team you bet on]" "Maybe you shouldn't have bet so much on Alabama, I knew Clemson would give them a game" Fucking drives me nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
