Well, as many on the Forum have stated over the years, "a bad call at the end of the game is just the same as a bad call at the beginning of a game", and "the officials don't control the outcome of the game, the players and coaches do". Now, if I repeat that, to myself, several times, maybe I'll really believe it, and my loss won't hurt so much. And I was going to use my winnings toward the purchase of a chicken coop. I guess that I won't have fresh eggs for breakfast any time soon.

So you learned that gambling doesn't pay?
