Why do gamblers think using the word lock when picking a team is such a bad thing

[harrington]

Do we really think the outcome of a game will be determined based on the word "lock".

 

[bookieskatrina]

absolutely! Dont try and skew the numbers now by calling every game a lock. You know how this works.

Its not the word it is the fact that most people who think that they have a surefire play that seems too good to be true than it usually is

The other question to this is:

Why do posters need to attention whore themselves and call something a lock?

by using the word you attract a lot of attention and most of it is negative attention. for people that use the word lock or anything to get attention, may i suggest the K.I.S.S. method (from the office): Keep It Simple Stupid. May I also suggest the following; post your RX record, post your plays, post your explanation, and good luck to you.

Of course most of it is negative but for the 1 out of 5 that hit on this board the poster gets to beat their chest like they are a god.. Quite comical but to each their own.

Anyone who thinks they will beat the NFL consistantly is only fooling themslves. That's why Vegas and even Mom & Pop BM's will never go broke.

Well said.

I dont mind the word "lock", but it seems that when people use it, it usually is a game that looks so easy everyone shluld put their house on it. They dont look as to why this line may look to good to be true.

I do not and when I say lock I like the game a lot. Relax Vinnie life's to short to get all worked up about a bunch of degenerate gamblers posting on the Internet.

I agree, but once I hit the post button it was too late!!:lol:

Gamblers are by nature usually very superstitious bunch. Calling something a LOCK is bad mojo. That's my best explanation.
