when it comes to tracking your bets. I know most people aren't but I wonder if anyone can relate.

The primary thrust of my actions is I do not want to know any in-game partial scores for games I have bets on. I will go to some lengths to avoid such information. I only want to know final scores.

So when I am looking at SBR lines after some games have begun, I will go to the last unstarted game and click on a line history so it will push all the in-progress games down and right off my screen. I don't want to see scores. I don't even want to see the red dots that represent baserunners at the edge of my vision.

If a sports update is starting on TV I flip the channel. I have even been in a situation where I was sitting on the toilet and I could hear a sports update starting in the next room, and I will start singing to drown it out.

Obviously I avoid forum threads that appear likely to have in-game reports on games I bet.


And I don't particularly want to get final scores through the day either. Like even though I have 3 afternoon bets today and I could probably get all the finals at 6, I will probably not check them until midnight or whatever. I average 9-10 MLB bets a day and I prefer to get all my results at once.

My method of checking the scores is a whole peculiar little thing in itself but I won't even get into it right now.


Anyone relate to that at all?
 
I rarely track scores cause I hate the stress that goes with it, but I don't go out of my way to avoid knowing what's going on. I do prefer to check results and grade my spreadsheet once all the games are over.
 
The funniest thing is when I hear a sports update starting and I'm not going to be able to turn it off in time so I start singing. It's not like I just slide gracefully into some Gershwin; it is generally a case of me being surprised that an update is upon me and I don't have a song at the ready so I'll just start emitting some kind of random noise LAAAAAAAAAAAAALALALALALA.

Then maybe it will morph into a real song eventually.

I make myself laugh sometimes at the absurdity of it but I really prefer not to hear those partial scores so why not?

Have you attempted to apply the "earmuffs" method of covering your ears instead? You might not look as crazy in the middle of the Sears electronics department...
