yeah watching games you bet on is really painful, especially if it's juventus, that gets me on a whole new level of upset.
i usually play for small stakes, and then i take some interesting games and bet a few draws and a few surprises, like newcastle was in my latest attempt, i can't begin to describe how proud i was of that win.

but it's ALWAYS the smallest odd that screws you over, when look back i don't know why the hell i went with roma, had i not i would have won like 600, 700 euro which is also WOW! oh well...
speaking of correct results outcome, when betting houses first started opening here in Zagreb, more than 6,7 years ago, there's one on every corner now, i decided to take a fluke with correct results because the odds were too tempting. anyway i picked two games, i remember it as it was yesterday, real madrid vs zaragoza and udinese vs parma in coppa italia. i wanted to put 5 euros on real beating them 3:1 and udinese beating parma 2:1, but somehow when i got to the bet house i started thinking wtf, there's no way i'm gonna guess those results, it's virtually impossible. so i went with the classical win for real and win for udinese coupled with one other NBA game, don't remember which one anymore, just to boost the final odd. wouldn't you know it, real won 3:1 and udinese won 2:1! but noooo i had to be a chicken shit over 5 freaking euros and guess what? i lost because of the NBA game.
true stories of a miserable gambler, i could go on and on with those stories. never in my life have i ever bet on a correct final result because of that.
