I am a member of a group that makes numerous "gentlemen's" wagers. There are three basic rules. No compliments, criticisms or references to lu-k. Rationally, a belief in the "L" word is the result of poor reasoning or wishful thinking. "Thanks" is a positive allowance.

The above makes perfect sense. I think the "L" word can also include "bad beats". I also think u could add another...... constantly blaming umpires and referees for making your own wrong decisions.
I'm not sure I'm understanding you properly but it sounds like your saying you don't believe in luck, only poor reasoning .... BUT yet your to superstitious to spell out the word or mention it .. Isn't that a major contradiction of your proposed theory ???
For me it's really a conscious understanding that sometimes you will feel like you were on the right side but just didnt get that clutch hit at the end of the game, bad call, poor game management, etc ... There is only so much you can do, things still need to happen in your favor .. Call it what you may, probability, luck, coincidence but in my opinion it's not always "poor reasoning".
Good point. There are certain religious factions that do not allow the full spelling of G-d, Je-sus etc. as an acknowledgement of humility. We have eleminated the "L" word relative to it's superstitious aspect. The "N" word is now rarely used since it is by many considred an insult. The superstitious "black cat crossing your path" signifying bad "L" is another popular myth. The elimination of "hot/cold streaks" for the mathematical accuracy of variance is another example. The success of SY and others is purely based upon multiple forms of reasoning with no depencence on the erronious wishful concept known as "L". On one other note-athletes thanking Je-sus for a win "gets my goat."

If I used this guideline, I would never have a legitimate post
Sure would be nice if Milwaukee could use that almost all right handed hitting lineup to win a game against a left handed pitcher once in awhile. They project great against lefties because of it and yet have the worst record in baseball against them.
This is the day things turn around and we don't look back. The pathetic, disgraceful, bad news bears of baseball. The assclowns themselves - the brewers will be the team to do it for you stevie. I'm sick of paying my bookie. Lets take these fcks to the cleaners. Time to go on Alittle roll. Today's a big fuckkn day for us. I'm pounding the brewers today. Doubling up. Sending it in. Cheers to that fellas and a happy fuckkn Memorial Day. Lets go.

Yea I did. Why the games over already ? Gallardo at 50 afte 2
If the last month has anything to do with it, yes, it is over. We have won 1 game, yes 1 game, we were trailing after the 4th inning(arz a couple days ago). Oh yeah, the Gallardo thing too. Mil long relief and their exp ERA of 5+ now comes into play even more.
Today's the day stevie. Be confident. I don't like the way you're thinking. Positive mindset. Keep your head up. Walk tall. You're a winner. Think like one

If I was playing, it would be different. Just getting old seeing none on, 2 out, bottom of the order up, single, triple. Leadoff double for us, ahead in the count and you can't at least move the runner to 3rd? Shit is happening way too much. Not that we would be doing great, but it seriously shouldn't be this bad. 2nd and 3rd, 1 out, can't score. Just to torture myself, I went back and looked at about 4 weeks of games. 8 blown saves(won 1 of them), won 1 game we weren't leading after the 4th inning, when leading after 7 innings, we are 5-7, opp has 0 blown saves. Those don't count the 6 run lead we blew(5 runs scored with 2 outs, 4 of them by the #8 hitter and the pitcher), a dropped pop up cost us a chance to keep playing, 3 WP's led to tying or the GW run. BA with runners in scoring position, .205, opp .289. runners in scoring position and 2 out, we have scored 23% of them, opp 41.5%. Base runners are 347 for us, 356 opp so it isn't like we haven't had the same opportunities to score. Like I said, it still wouldn't be great, but sometimes nothing goes right. After all, Texas scored 28 runs against Verlander, Sanchez and Fister, and we played them when they got 1 against Porcello(and we only needed 3).
Stevie hang in there brother, still a long season ahead, things will eventually turn. There is something that I was wondering, when you cap a baseball game, do streaks ever enter the equation? For example if you feel like team A is a play, if that team is on an extended losing streak would that take you off of them, or if team B is on a winning streak would that also get you off team A?

that certainly puts things in perspective. tides turn tho as Kane said so hopefully your grind continues for us that will continue to follow. Thanks SY.

Pointless posts have their place, this just isn't one of them.
Then you will love today.
u do realize you don't have to bet his plays if you disagree right? shit, play the other side
I wouldn't go crazy.
Too late for some of us (and I'm not referring to overbetting Milwaukee today).
Hope you didn't. Dead in the water.

Unless you're not rooting for Milwaukee like the rest of us, only jinx possible is the ever-popular "reverse jinx."
