Things You Hate While Watching Your Game

[rjp]

When I take my wife to a sporting event it never fails: she starts to ask about the rules and what's going on to show interest, which I appreciate, but we all know she doesn't give a ****! ;)

Know it all playing a parlay!

Having someone that plays a $5 parlay misses it by one game then becomes an expert! He just can't figure out that he still lost!!!! Then after the game it's I told you so! Hell I can pick em after the game too!!!! If you know so much put your money out there at the beginning of the game!!!!!!

Sorry about all the !!!! I just got a little excited!!!

I know this doesn’t really fit into the discussion, but I hate it when commentary is completely one sided….especially here in buffalo, I hate it when we are playing the new England patriots, and clowns like Dan Dierdorf are praising Tom Brady and tedy bruschi for tying there dam shoes….

By the way, I love kids....as long as they realize that that there is a three foot wide "KILL" zone between me and the TV that they will never penetrate, we'll just get along fine!!

Kids!!!!! Always someone elses!!! who believe that game time means it's time for them to entertain you, in front of the TV, and those wonderful parents who say, "Isn't that so cute"?

And while we're on the subject of Kids, I've heard this at least a dozen times.... I know that the game is starting now, don't worry, there's only about 45 minutes left on the "My Little Pony" DVD that the kids are watching.
:bitching:

Watching a game, especially with Dicky V, when he is liking the team that is going against the team you bet on....commentary is so one sided, it pisses you off just watching the game lol

When the announcer talks about a game being an upset but the team was actually favored.

i hate it when somebody knows you have money riding on the game and they spend the entire game talking about how they cant believe you put money on whichever team you did....if there such experts, why didnt they place there own wager!!

Just need to get these things off my chest because it has been getting worse. In no order, please feel free to add.

1) Watching it with someone who has no idea what they are talking about, but insist on "teaching" me about the game. I prefer the only sound heard be comming from the television or myself. I try to avoid this situation at all costs.

2) Long time no speak relative/friend calling in a critical point of the game (I could swear they are watching the same thing and decide to call that very minute). This gets me almost everytime.

3) My girlfriend getting mad at me about something and decides to cheer for the OPPOSING team. Ladies, go against your mans team. Nothing pisses him off more than that!!!

4) When someone asks a million rookie gambling questions DURING the game I have action on. This isn't a classroom damnit!!!

5) Finally taking the time to explain certain things (basic things like point spreads, money lines, etc.) to the person asking a billion questions and that person not even caring anymore. What the hell did you ask me for then?!?!!!

6) Someone telling me about someone they know, who knows someone, whos cousin also plays the books. Then mixing it in with their favorite team being the team that won it all last year, which will change depending on who wins it next.

7) Watching it with the "once in a blue moon" gambler who thinks that betting on any favorite is a "rip off".

8) This has nothing to do with sports but I hate people who eat at the poker table!!! Sorry everyone, but that's just disgusting. Stop greasing up the cards azzhole...

9) Before the game starts, the person insisting and non-stop begging that I call my bookie and double my bet becasue they "want in". Not granting their wish, winning my bet, and have them bitch at me like I made them lose money.

That's all I have for now. I will come up with #10 later. Wow, I feel much better now :glass:

Anyone else have any peeves?
