Hi my (not poker related) degen story...
I work for a bookie and sell bets on horses and sometimes gamble a bit with tipmoney.
Every year there is a big race in france where some of the best horses meet.
Last year I saved some money and studied the forms a lot and had a tight plan on what bets I was going to place.
My first horse was going to run in the first race of the meeting, the odds were super nice and the horse unbeatable in my eyes (Overdose).
But then there was a false start, because they had probs with the boxes and the race was said to be repeated at the end of the meeting with my horse scratched. That was where my tilting started, even harder because my next horse failed (100€ gone).
Now my well calculated plan was forgotten and I started to bet against my own favourites, mistake BIG TIME!
The day ended with - 5k €,
If I would have kept my route, it would have been 1k € plus.
