So Unlucky!!!!

Hi,

i have received some emails lately about the issue of luck in betting. Many people say that if they count the results they have been unlucky to lose late in a match , those have been significally more than those they have won.

If you find me in a relaxed situation(a bit rare) i will also tell you that maybe those bets i've lost on dying moments are significally more than those i've won. There is another explanation though. Most people remember those bets they have lost but those they have won they tend to forget. Its a classic physchological think. On my teaching years i remember a classic phrase. When you have given to somebody a bad mark you will listen "This bastard gave me an F!!!" , when you have given a good mark you listen "I took an A!!!". It is clear that the tendency to explain good thinks has to do with us "I TOOK THE A" and when we lose we have the need to give the blame to somebody else "HE GAVE ME A BAD MARK".

The same exactly happens on betting. When we win , we have made a correct prediction. When we lose , luck takes the blame.... Which of us remembers chances that an opponent lost in a bet that we have won? Nobody... Do we remember the chances that our team lost in a match gone nasty? OH YES...
