.... 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Grin

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.

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.

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 really solely on luck as the money goes down shattering all your false hopes. Been there, felt it. Then quit Grin

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

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.
