Title: I am so nervous
Post by: The Patient on November 18, 2013, 11:29:48 PM
Ugh man, maybe I shouldn't have risked so much.

I've got 5 btc riding on this monday night football game tonight. Over 7.5 after the first quarter and I win.

Brady and coaches had 2 weeks to prepare a game plan. I think they come out and score on their first drive even with the tough D.

...But now I am kind of regretting betting so much.

What do you guys think of a over 7.5 1st quarter bet?

lol yeah I am a bit crazier then the average joe...


And I don't think I can sell some of the bet. I'm doing it through bitbook.biz.  Haven't read anything like that being possible

if you are placing your bet just on a "feeling" with no logical reasoning as to why it may or may not occur, then you are crazy. you would need enough reason to believe that your prediction is more likley to occur than to not.

Its a let down week for panthers. They really haven't been beating good teams besides last week. The hype is probably getting to them. They barely let teams score in the first quarter....that has to change at some point. Their offense is capable of scoring.

Patriots on primetime monday night...this is their spot. This is where they shine. After having 2 weeks to prepare, ya gotta think that the coaches have a solid starting game plan to go out and attack fast and get points, so their not behind against a good defense.

Bye week for pats, let down week for panthers.  1 Td and a field goal in the 1st with vegas having the over at 46 for the game, doesn't seem to unreasonable...


But idk!!

I'll definitely be hoping for it to come through.  5 BTC is a much larger chunk of money now-a-days...

Mother fucker, Seeing these prices go past 700 is killin me. I thought it would crash so i was more inclined to gamble.

If I win I'm selling some and then storing the rest in a paper wallet. This is too stressful betting this much.

Send me some good vibes guys!!

Good vibes man!

I usually tried to keep around 1.5btc in my gambling account but I am going to need to scale that back a bit now.  I've been making $300 bets like it's nothing because I keep associating the wrong USD value to the mBTC lol

i'm sorry to hear, but you made your own bed.. just remember that next time you feel the impulse to gamble lots of money. it can save you in the long run.

by holding bitcoin itself is enough of a gamble for me.

Well I couldn't stop myself and was like ahh screw it.....so I bet my last 3 btc on an in-game bet. I got +7.5 on the pats. Looks good as of now

If it hits then I think break even or only lose 1 or so BTC.  Better then 5.

...but yeah, I should stop. Just holding bitcoins is indeed a gamble in and of itself

ouch.  That sucks.  Sorry to hear that.  But as others have said, only gamble what you're comfortable loosing!

ouch, pats lost by 4.. did you lose 8 BTC today?

another way to look at it: do you think BTC has more than a 50% chance to rise significantly? for me, i'd say at least 60% likelihood. and then take a look at your bets.. do you think the chances, at the moment when you are placing your bet, are higher than 50%? don't parlay a good bet with a 50/50 bet.

Nah, the patriots covered the in-game bet I placed. The lost by less then 7.5 so I won that.

I lost a bitcoin today.

But like a stupid gambler, I'm going to try to win it back tmrw instead of cutting my losses.

Good luck man!  Glad your in-game bet covered.

Let me know what you are betting on today :D

after I once lost a 100$ on a bet I stopped betting :D
it's too risky to bet a lot of money, especially if you worked hard for it,(that's a lot for me as I don't have a full time job) :/
and the best advice I can give you right now is quit while you're ahead!
if you win back your money don't bet anymore, just enjoy your luck and don't risk it again ;)

I don't think it's a good idea to bet. I mean it full of risks right[?]
