I honestly don't know why there is any shame in saying "I screwed the bet up and should have made more money". Why must everyone lack such introspection? I screw bets up all the time.... but if you don't learn from it you screw them up more over and over again.

Plus, don't redboard. It's unbecoming.
I used to say that all the time 10 years ago, now I am happy to win.

I had always bet MDO, but instead of betting him across the board - like I usually do - I bet him $20 to win. At least you made a little money.

That GD PP - he did the same thing to my boy in the 2004 Dubai Classic.
