I would give them respect for that and won't laugh at them.
That's very important, but when it comes to betting, you bet on a team that you think has a big chance of winning.
It's different that you are rooting for a team because it's your favorite team, here we are looking for value and actually I thought I saw a value on the Lakers -6.5 live betting and I was already happy when Lakers had a 9 point lead but Herro, damn Hero shot a 3 point and it even ruined the Lakers -7.5 point spread.
Others should see that grind and situation that you have experienced.
