We’ve all seen it happen over and over again. The MLB season is a long, tough grind. Losses, as with any sport and maybe more viciously than the other major ones, are inevitable.
For me, I’m a terribly sore loser. It’s not the money that bothers me because I have a very disciplined money management system. Money is a way of keeping score. I just hate losing . . . at anything. We could have a thumb war and I’ll want to punch you in the face if I lost. However, as much as I hate losing, I don’t blow a gasket. Understanding losing is a part of betting assists me with coping during a losing day. I think we can all agree that losing makes us all a little bitter. Some more than others.
How do I deal with the tough days? I reach for another beer. Nothing cures the pain like a nice ice cold Heineken or another Rum and Coke.
I compare my rather calm behaviors to those who say the words “AGAIN?! I F***ING LOST AGAIN?!”. I can only imagine who they are getting their picks from, not us that';s for sure.
In real life, I’ve seen some angry drunks at the sports books. Some get overly aggressive against themselves, or overly aggressive against others. Some compound their drinking with other social habits. It’s a roller coaster and I thankfully do not meet the losing requirements to ride.
Losing days. Everyone has them.
