Yanks over-bad beat today

[kermit16]

I had the over on the Yankee game today at 10.
Bottom of the 6 th score was 8-2 and bases were loaded with no outs. Jeter, Sheffield, and A-Rod next 3 up.I am visually stacking my chips and pondering where to invest my profits next !Jeter, strikes out, Sheffield pops out and A-Rod grounds out. Right then I knew the final score would be 8-2. +&*%#+

 

[REDEYE]

I had same play

 

[kermit16]

What made the scenaria even worse is Toronto Had ligtenberg on the mound with his 6.18 era
*%&*##@* I'm getting myself a brew ! LOL

 

[sickgambler]

WOW KERMIT, THAT ONE IS BRUTAL.. BUT CAN IT BE WORSE THAN A FEW I HAD IN MY CAREER. A FEW I CAN REMEMBER IS KC VS CLEV AND I HAD OV 10.5 STRAIGHT UP, AND A 2 TEAM PARLAY KC AND OV WITH MY LOCAL ABOUT 7 YRS AGO, AND IT WAS 9-1 END OF 1. IT WAS A VERY BIG BET FOR ME AND I REMEMBER IT WAS THE LAST GAME OF THE WEEK AND HAD I WON THIS GAME, I WOULD OWE MY BOOKIE 200, AND IF I LOST IT, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY HIM 2 DAYS LATER 11 DIMES. AND GUESS WHAT.. 9-1 END OF 3.. STILL NOT NERVOUS.. 9-1 NOW END OF 6. NOW NOT ONLY AM I NERVOUS, BUT I NOW KNOW THE FINAL WILL BE 9-1 AND GUESS WHAT.. 9-1 FINAL.. BOTH TEAMS DECIDED TO JUST NOT SCORE ANYMORE, AND THEN I MEET MY BOOKIE 2 DAYS LATER AND PAY THE F UCKER. ..

AND ANOTHER BAD ONE FOR ME.. A FEW YEARS AGO, I HAVE THE OVER 9.5 IN THE SOX GAME. THE SCORE WAS SOMETHING LIKE 12-1 IN THE TOP OF 3RD.. I AM CELEBRATING MY VICTORY, THEN IT IS LIKE 14-2 BOT OF THE 9TH, THEN IT RAINS, THEN MINUTES LATER, RAINED OUT..

BUT YOURS AIN'T THAT NICE EITHER, KERMIT.

Talk about a bad beat, I just bet a friend by IM that no one would post an old bad beat story in this thread earlier than 5:30 EDT. So what happens - a bad beat Jonah like Sick Gambler makes me a loser by a single minute.

wil.

 

[sickgambler]

YEAH RIGHT, WILLY BOY.. I BET YOU REALLY MADE THAT BET...

DID WILLY BOY REALLY MAKE A BET WITH HIS BUDDY?

NO -800
YES +600

 

[kermit16]

Sick,
Your 2 stories are certainly sad stories also ! I guess We all have our nightmares, it just happens to be that my story just happened and now I'm perhaps sick gambler # 2 LOL
P.S. I am starting to feel better now that the alcohol is kicking in !

 

[sickgambler]

KERMY BOY, YOU SHOULDN'T FEEL BAD FOR ANY OF US WHEN WE LOSE ON A BAD BEAT. WHEN WE BET 5,000 GAMES A YEAR, TIMES 25 YRS OF GAMBLING, WE ARE BOUND TO HAVE SO SO SO MANY BAD BEATS IN OUR CAREER. IT JUST HAS TO HAPPEN. IT'S A NUMBERS GAME. WITH ALL THOSE GAMES, ODDS ARE VERY HIGH WE'VE ALL HAD BAD BEATS, JUST LIKE I CAN BET WE'VE ALL HAD MIRACULOUS VICTORIES, THAT WE ALL SEEMED TO NOT TALK ABOUT. WHEN YOU'VE BET THIS MANY GAMES AS MYSELF, OR EVEN YOU, EVERYTHING WILL ALWAYS EVEN OUT IN THE LONG RUN..

 

[kermit16]

You are certainly correct... but why is it that We can almost always remember the losses more clearly ?

 

[wilheim]

Sick I want to thank you for getting my money back (most of it anyway), I bet the same friend you would make me a -750 or more to have not really made the first bet. You came through with a nice -800 "No" prop. Now I just have to get the juice back to be even. Thanks pal.

wil.

 

[sickgambler]

NOW THAT BET I BELIEVE YOU MADE, WILSKI.. HOWEVER, AS FOR THE FIRST BET YOU SAID YOU DID, NOW THAT IS HARD TO BELIEVE. THIS ONE HERE IS MUCH MORE BELEIVABLE..

 

[sickgambler]

KERMIT, GREAT QUESTION, BUT IT'S HUMAN NATURE. WE ARE ALL GREEDY I GUESS AND WE WANT TO WIN EVERY GAME WE BET.

I SWEAR TO GOD, ABOUT 5 YRS AGO, I BET 11 HOCKEY GAMES STRAIGHT UP. I FELT LUCKY THAT NIGHT.. I WAS 9-0 IN MY FIRST 9 GAMES, THEN THE LAST 2 LATE GAMES, I LOST BOTH, AND THEY WERE SUCH BAD BEATS.. ONE ON AN EMPTY NETTER, AND THE OTHER IN OT, WHEN LEADING LATE IN BOTH. SO I WENT 9-2 ON THE NIGHT, BUT WENT TO BED VERY MAD AND DEPRESSED AND EVEN BROKE MY REMOTE CONTROL WHEN I THREW IT AGAINST THE WALL. WHY I SAY? I JUST WENT 9-2 AND WON ABOUT 7K. I EVEN WON 3 OF MY 9 GAMES SO SO LUCKILY. THEY WERE MIRACULOUS WINS. BUT LOSING THE LAST 2 GAMES DEVASTATED ME. YOU'D THINK NOT BECAUSE I WON 3 BY FLUKE, SO WHY NOT GIVE BACK 2 BY FLUKE? I WENT TO BED SO PISSED BECAUSE IN MY MIND, I HAD WON 11K, AND WON ONLY WON 7K. YOU SEE HOW GREEDY GAMBLERS ARE? I NEVER CARED ABOUT STEALING 3 GAMES, I WAS ONLY CARING ABOUT 2 BAD BEATS ON MY LAST 2 GAMES. EVEN THOUGH IT EVENED OUT, I WAS FUMING.

THAT'S GAMBLING, MY FRIEND.

 

[wilheim]

Sick how about an update on how many minutes left before you leave for Vegas. Did you dream about jumbo shrimp last night?


wil.

 

[sickgambler]

36 HRS BEFORE I BOARD THE PLANE...

2160 MINUTES BEFORE SICK GAMBLER HEADS TO VEGAS..

129,600 SECONDS BABY!!!!!!!!

WILFREDO, I SWEAR TO GOD, I HAVE BEEN DREAMING ALL WEEK OF JUMBO SHRIMPS. I CAN'T WAIT TO SINK MY TEETH INTO THOSE IN VEGAS. WHEN I AM DONE WITH THEM, THERE WILL BE NO MORE SHRIMP LEFT IN VEGAS. I JUST WANT TO WARN ALL POSTERS THAT IF ANYONE EVER REQUESTS SHRIMPS IN ANY RESTAURANT THERE AND THEY TELL THEM THEY HAVE NO MORE SHRIMP, IT'S BECAUSE OF ME. SO DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU BOYS..

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SEND OUT A FEW FISHERMAN OUT IN THE RIVER AROUND THE CLOCK TO CATCH FRESH SHRIMP TO BRING BACK TO THE CITY.. I WANT ONLY FRESH SHRIMP, SO THEY BETTER BE OUT THERE IN THE WATERS WHEN I AM THERE.

________

WILSKI, I HAVE TO RUN TO THE GYM IN 15 MINUTES. CAN YOU DO ME A BIG FAVOR PLEASE.. I CANNOT SEEM TO FIND ANY GOOD PICS OF JUMBO SHRIMPS. CAN YOU POST A FEW FOR ME BEFORE I LEAVE PLEASE? THANKS.. THE PICS I PUT UP DO NOT LOOK APPETIZING.. AND ONE OF THEM ARE RAW, AND I HATE RAW SHRIMPS. I WANT TO GO WORKOUT NOW WITH THE THOUGHT OF THOSE SHRIMPS ON MY MIND SO I CAN WORK OUT BETTER. THANKS WILLY BOY..
