Do you ever find yourself rooting for posters to lose?

Tuckman

Uh Poster
Obviously we are all here to make money, but some posters just deserve to lose IMO. I don't find myself always rooting for everyone.

Can't say I do.

I like when the big money (the syndicate money) loses, however. Makes life easier when competing against the sports books (fewer rules, fewer restrictions, better attitudes, etc.).

Nah. Unless, I'm in a contest against them. Obviously.

Re: Do you ever find yourself rooting for posters to lose?

u guys who like to see people lose obviously have some major issues. judging by the people who are saying they do i stand to be right. one square loser(weinke), one drama queen(dimetoupee) and one fat ugly pill popper(tuckman).
 
Re: Do you ever find yourself rooting for posters to lose?

Thats bad karma brother ... I wouldnt be saying out loud if I did want others to lose. Gambling Gods may frown down upon you.

Re: Do you ever find yourself rooting for posters to lose?

Even if I am on the other side of posters and cappers I respect here or anywhere else, I don't root for anyone to lose. While I know it's likely they are going to run the table, I hope they come out every night with a winning percentage since we are all here to serve the same purpose.

Seriously though, anybody that hopes to win inevitably roots for all others to lose whether they consciously do it or not. I'll let Tim write the proper four paragraph explanation if he chooses...

I have a hard enough time rooting for my own play if someone I like has a big play on the other side.

Haha precisely. It's the great misconception that it's the "players vs. the books" when it it really the players against other players. The more dead money in the market, there more money there is for intelligent players to extract. It is my hope that the forums can funnel as much dead money as possible into the market.

Of course there are a few guys who I like or share info with and enjoy seeing them do well, but it's the guy who lays -3.5 on Sunday morning when -2.5 (-115) was available all week that is paying you, not the sportsbook. I root for these guys to keep betting and with more money. The only individuals I personally root for to lose though are the ones who make it seem like winning money betting sports is "easy". I also get a kick out of the ones who have a meltdown when one of their "locks" goes up in flames.

My personal favorites are the ones who do those Martingale systems. Clowns just asking to zero their accounts. :finger004

I don't either, thus the devil. Sometimes I'm still liable to tilt and forget its actually money...Red Sox won Friday though, its all good.

Re: Do you ever find yourself rooting for posters to lose?

Docsports sent me a free weekend pass for 2 cappers 2 weekends in a row. I chose Ace and Doc Sports. Both were horrible.. and lost units. Never ever sent Doc sports any money and never will after that free showing. I expect another freebie next weekend until they get a winning weekend down,lol.

I would never name names, but there are a couple guys I hope lose on here just because they're obnoxious.

Re: Do you ever find yourself rooting for posters to lose?

I never will just root foe someone to lose, however if someone posts lock after lock and keeps losing I may fade and root for my play, if i don't play I might go back and laugh if their record goes to 4 -16 but that is all. I like seeing people win.

That's my list. Crazy.

Wow man, that sucks.. :(

I'd never root for you to lose, in fact I've felt real bad after seeing you a couple of times.. Had no idea while I was rooting for you, you were rooting against me.. Its cool though no hard feelings about it, just surprising.

Re: Do you ever find yourself rooting for posters to lose?

I don't root against Posters - I root against Plays

When someone makes a JACKASS play - I root against them and hope they lose their JACKASS play so they will learn their lesson and not make another JACKASS play in the future

A few days ago when someone posted how he looooooooooooved Phillies -190 vs the Mess, I rooted against him and was ECSTATIC he lost because he made a JACKASS play. Laying -190 over the long run will KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL YOU - and I wanted the play to lose so this poster (who I THOUGHT was too smart to make this play) would realize he made a stupid play and not do it again

I root against people who lay -3.5 in the NFL when earlier in the week the line was -3 or less - I root for the game to land 3 so they lose by the hook because they were stupid

I root against people who post 10-team parlays in which they put up $10 to win 10-zillion dollars and then say they did it "FOR FUN" when there is NO SUCH THING as a bet made FOR FUN............because if you make enough of these "For Fun" bets all the money you lose stops being "Funny" when all you do is lose

I root against Plays.........NOT Players

Nothing inherently wrong with laying -190.

Re: Do you ever find yourself rooting for posters to lose?

I don't root for people to lose, but the above post is a good example of why I find it funny when Winky loses. Also after everyone verbally jacked off Rainbow before the big contest watching his meltdown was pretty funny.
 
Re: Do you ever find yourself rooting for posters to lose?

To me, it is simple. If they wager on a team that I have played against, I hope they lose. If they wagered on a team that I took, I hope they win. If I do not have action on the game or event, I really could care less what they do, though I have to admit that I do enjoy seeing the boasters and big mouths in here going down. If I like the person, I feel sorry for them. Anyone who says that they will not hope that a person who went against them in a wager loses is simply not telling the truth.

What? :LMAO:LMAO

So you root for guys that have to same side as you to lose? That's what the word all would mean.

What Weinke has going for him, is that if he roots for people to lose he has a better shot than rooting for himself to win since he's such a square. :houra

Maybe work on your wording in the future Weinke, because all I did was respond to what you wrote. 91023i2ndw;l

You are one bitter dude. Your need to insult people over the internet is pretty funny to witness on a daily basis - maybe relax and get outside and you'll enjoy life a little more. We're here for you big guy! Your e-grudges are getting a little out of hand.

You're just annoying and I hate that you're here. You get the brunt of it because you deserve it.

I'm perfectly happy with my life; have lots going for me. Just an hour left at work and I'm off for 18 at the golf course for the third time in three days. Follow it up with a workout, maybe sex with my fiance, and then root for my Angels bet before calling it a night. Can't beat that.

I will want fries with my meal, please. Thanks, needledick.

Well Weinke, I play golf everyday for free and work for a golf course now so you'll have to go get your daily fast food elsewhere.

Weinke, I barely ever address you. The fact that you care so much about me being here is a bit alarming, no? You root for me to lose my plays, but I actually give writes up and thoughts on every play I post. The fact that you care about what happens on my wagers is also a bit alarming, no? A random guy on the internet gets you so worked up. I think you need a little help. If you were so happy with your life you wouldn't be as angry as you always are Weinke. I live off the 1st hole of a golf course, wake up and work and then play golf everyday - that's the life! :houra Haters gonna hate.

How mature is a guy who can't address posters on a message board with out using personal insults?
 
Re: Do you ever find yourself rooting for posters to lose?

I would not or never have rooted for any type of gambler to lose...Casino action or sports...Man oh Man, that can bring bad KARMA to one...and we all know KARMA is a BITCH...

I used to post my plays on the forums, but when I made a 2 team teaser in college football and the very 1st post in my thread was hoping that I lose my grand, I had bet, I decided right then and there that I would never post another play ever...It ended up I needed the tease to win my bet (one side didn't cover the full point spread but won the tease, so I felt very good about the bet)

But to hope folks lose, in my opinion, is just a lot of insecurity or jealousy on one's part...the whole game is trying to make a little here and there..

Just my .02cents and thanks for your time..
