little things that piss you off in gambling

[BigM+]

- overly dramatic umpires when you're on the over in baseball, like he's personally rubbing it in your face every strike/out

 

[quantumleap]

Books that are good steam indicators that take down a line an hour before the contest starts.

Losing by the hook.

When you bet a game and your somewhere in public and there is a douchebag beside you routing for the other side because he has the running back on the other team in his fantasy football league... I wish Fantasy Football did not exist.

tracks with disgusting take-outs on exotics and sketchy payouts!!!

When your baseball team is winning by 1 or 2 runs and the pitcher gets in a little trouble and the manager does not pull him until after he gives up 4 runs.
Joe Girardi with Andy Petite for example.

When mid-game you realize it is fixed and you are on the wrong side.

Sitting down at a blackjack table, and having someone who
tries to "feel" the cards take 2 minutes every time they
have to hit or stand.

Asian players are notorious for this, they don't play by the book,
but try to play by intuition, ergo it takes them extra time each
decision, so they can try and "feel" the cards.

This can apply to the poker decisions too... One of my Chinese buddies
drives me crazy at our poker home game, he takes forever to make
any decision.

Playing the Over in a sport and you get all but one score away from the total by the midpoint and then a cold streak by both sides resulting in a miracle under.

That goes both ways. I remember two years ago during Bowl Season I had the under in I believe the Memphis vs Akron game. The total was around 68. At half the score was 3-0. They ended up scoring a combined 85 or so points with no overtime.

Table games are just a way to talk to the cocktail waitresses. I wish everyone took 2 minutes, much better value for the money

Even worse is when they wait until it's their turn to act and only then do they go into their routine. Why can't they get their "feel" when it's other people's turns???

line change...when u place a bet...

i not even close to being a highroller, but bookmaker pisses the shit out me with the line changes when i'm trying to put a bet in. It's everyday. I can be trying to put in a mlb game and say the line is -125, i hit confirm, comes back line change, now it's -126, i hit confirm, then it says line change, now it's -124. I'm yelling at the computer "just take the fucking bet you bastards!"

I swear it takes me 3 minutes sometimes to get a few bets in, but at a couple other books it's like 15 seconds.
