I staked on this PSG match live when the scores was 1:0. The bet was for the home team to win the rest of the match regardless of the current score. At 28 mins, USL scored again and the bet was winning, there was no other goal until 45 mins, just before halftime, PSG scored a goal and invalidated my best. It was kinda painful because I thought I already win the best. The bookmarkers were evil too and didn't want to bring out the cashout option Cry.

Reflecting on the matter and the fact being that this has happened to me a number of times, I thought of putting up a discussion on it.

  • How do you deal with near misses?
  • Do you gamble more to try your luck again or do you just quit?
  • What is the emotional implications of having a near miss for you? Mine was a mixed feeling of upset and laughter. I almost cursed Dembele for scoring that goal Grin

Let me hear from you.

Such thing happens more than often with me and at the first moment after getting final result  I feel very frustrated about myself.  But after a while, I calm down, reminding myself that most of the match was just a series of fortunate coincidences. The acupuncture technique I use on my palms helps to ground me, allowing me to let go of the near miss and keep trying, again and again, despite my setback at the given match.
