Don't you hate it when....

[Maasdamer]

.... you bet on a team team and it teases a comeback just to fxxk you over.

This happens to me every 3. game I bet on basketball.
Just now, my team was down by 19 in the 1st half and 17 at HT. 2min before the end of the 3rd they come within 1 just to give up 8 straight again.
90sec before the end the make it a 1 point game again just to give up 9 straight, WTF.

My teams never come back, just let me think there is hope and then fxxk me. Basically in this game they fxxked me 3 times. First playing shit and go down by 19, then teasing the first comeback and then the 2. one.

It never ends for me.

For your last line, as it never ends, it will never in future as well. In our every life jobs, there's a minor factor of luck, be it business or job but when the whole industry thrives only on "luck" which is gambling, then problem arises. Doesn't matter if it's traditional (normal) or sports casino, you will be surprised with what happens when you rely solely on luck as the money goes down shattering all your false hopes. Been there, felt it. Then quit

Whatever u wrote here is not relevant to what I am talking about, lol.
I am not talking about luck but about teased comebacks which come with regain hope the play would win just to get doublefuxxed in the end.

You weren't particular whether you are supporting a particular team or every team which you peak teases you, nonetheless, as I generalized, that's why it's called "gambling" because no matter how much you think your team is strong enough, or how much you think the end is predictable, it's full of twists and turns and that's why it's based on "luck" and it teases you, sometimes with loss and sometimes even it teases you with a sudden win, but always loss in the long term

[sunsilk]

That's part of betting. And that's why before you bet, you'll need to consider things like this if the team has this kind of sickness during their matchups then you don't bet for that team.

If you bet for esports games like Dota 2, you'll always see this kind of disappointment but if you knew the game, you'll understand that games that are taking time will always have the chance to do comebacks even if the team you bet or not has already leading the game.

[dothebeats]

That actually gives me more thrill and more entertainment than anything, honestly. Though I know that it's equally frustrating to not win on an event that you placed your bet on, the entertainment that close of a game provided to me is somewhat more than enough to compensate for the loss. You win some, you lose some. It's not only you who's tired of losing when you think you're so close to winning, but also the actual team who played the game for your entertainment.

You'll get by on these losses once you enjoyed the entertainment the sport provides, I assure you.

[decodx]

It' s part of the game. In sports, you never know what is going to happen. And if you're going to place bets, you can bet it'll be a roller-coaster ride.  

And that's where, for us, we love the game.

[goinmerry]

Is this a live bet? I understand the frustration if it is although I doubt you will make a bet in a team behind 19+ points no matter how favorite that team is.

Actually, that situation is just normal where the team behind many points then suddenly will make a rally but will fall short. The ball is round and you don't have to be frustrated on that (in case you are just watching and not actually betting).

It's just unfortunate that you always ended up on that so just move on.

[rhomelmabini]

Gambling was indeed fun, am I right? That's education for you too and learn with it that whatever you try to happen that wasn't gonna goes always in your favor even on all other aspects, you don't have to expect with what were you thinking. I guess you have to stick to teams that have more potential in the future or be faithful always on your selected team, just fair advice.

Most teams don't want to win a game by 50 points. They want to pace themselves to prevent injuries. Save energy for future games.

If they're leading by 19 points, they'll relax and go easy. Do just enough to win.

Sometimes if they have a big lead they'll put their star players on the bench. Put the secondary or 3rd string in to gain experience and game time. Later if the game is close, they'll substitute their star players back in the game. Scores will see saw and fluctuate to mirror these adjustments.

This is very common in the NFL where injuries have become a concern. Even mixed martial arts fighters train only 30% to 50% of their maximum potential if they think its enough to defeat their opponent in some of the smaller events. Its common for UFC fighters transitioning to bellator to put less effort into training, believing they don't have to be at their best to win.

Lol, I understand your feelings, I have been betting in NBA and see this kind of comebacks, either fall short or go all the way.

My teams never come back, just let me think there is hope and then fxxk me. Basically in this game they fxxked me 3 times. First playing shit and go down by 19, then teasing the first comeback and then the 2. one.

It never ends for me.

Most of the time, I never did watch the game specially when they are in a comeback, I have a feeling that I may jinx them. That's just me though, just take it easy, I known that the odds are very attractive for a win and it's going to be a big disappointment. But just go the next day, best of luck. 

[Wexnident]

Hey, I mean if it never happened, I'd also get fcked when the team I bet lets the other team make a complete comeback right? Matter of perspective I suppose, but yea I feel you when they just ruin everything you thought of as possible. I'd rather see them get completely destroyed or have a back-and-forth match instead of one team letting the other score in one half, and vice versa in the next half only to decide the winner in the end. The same ending with a back-and-forth, but a different process which probably what makes watching it different from each other.

Though I do suppose I just assume that most teams with an early lead are the mos likely winners since they wouldn't really tire themselves out to chase something, unlike the other team that has to chase the score that they lost in the early parts of the game.

[Darker45]

You seem to have taken it personally.

When you placed your bet on your team, you must be aware that they could either win or lose. That's it. If they win, you are good. But if they lose, it's all good just the same. It was a possibility right from the start, after all.

Your team was not giving you hope. You were the one who hoped because your money is at stake.

[Yaunfitda]

Of course, I think I will say that majority of the bettors in NBA games have experienced this one. You might hate the team, but what if the next game they win and you win big?

I agree that you don't need to take it personality, that's the very definitive definition of gambling, you put money on the line without knowing the outcome, so it can go on your favor or not. This has been, I would say the trend in NBA currently, teams leading by second half, you feel assured that you are going to win and then suddenly in the last two quarters, the other team played good defense and offense, and vice-versa.

[Peanutswar]

It depends on your preferences its part of the game there's an unexpected event that happens as the event of Singapore major which the EG vs IG after the EG got 2-0 then IG made a comeback with 2-3 unexpectedly but I bet on EG because I'm a fan of the Evil geniuses for a long time it doesn't matter to win or lose because I enjoy their fight. The same thing with your case we can't tell that the odds already say the winner of the game doesn't take it too much seriously because you do not have the power to manipulate everything just to win your bet. If you dont want to lose next time I guess try to bet with the two teams at the same time by that its a 50 50 chance no matter if they made a comeback by the opponent or not.

Lol this is wonderful Game mate and you must consider the Enjoyment and excitement you felt in the whole game and not just the money you lose.

though kind of frustrating ? but we can find the Good and the Bad in this kind of game , try to look in the brighter side mate even if you really felt the frustration .

and also try to bet sometime in the other side, i mean if your instinct telling you to bet on Team A, try to bet in Team B instead.

[famososMuertos]

1st  quarter: WTF!
2nd quarter: WTF!
3rd quarter: WTF!
4th quarter: Game over!!
What is the problem? have fun, get excited enjoy the game and enjoy the thrill of winning or losing if you place a bet. If there is frustration about losing money, then just enjoy the moment, do not spend money on gambling if you think you will always win.

[swogerino]

I hate it like everyone else but I have suffered so many of these games in soccer that I am quite used to it now and when this happens I just say whatever and go to my next bet.

The difference with you though is this is not never ending and in between such loses I also manage to get some relatively big wins and this is what keeps me going.

[Cnut237]

I bet on basketball.

Different sports have this to different extents. I don't bet on basketball, but it's high scoring, so I'd imagine this kind of thing is quite common. Other sports are probably more predictable and more forgiving. Another issue is timeframe... the shorter the timeframe you're betting on, the more unpredictable it will be. The question of who will win a match is more predictable than who will score most in the next five minutes. The question of who will win a championship over the course of a season is more predictable than who will win a single match.

I'd advise try either a) lengthening the timeframe of your bets, or b) trying a more predictable sport.

For me comebacks usually only go in the other way. When my team is behind I barely see chances of a comeback, but when my team is winning I see some random goals happening in the 89th minute just to change the easy win to a draw. I probably lost most of my bets due to a draw because I bet for a victory. It is really frustrating to think you are winning just to get the win stolen from you in the last second. It would be nice if we could buy some insurance for the big swings in the last 5 minutes of a game.
