    I've gone back and forth in the past without really believing in it. This latest run has got me thinking though. After making about three withdraws of over a thousand dollars I've currently lost my last 9 SNG's and in those, I've had my money in w hands that have been ahead 7 of these times and ended up losing. Now maybe it's just coincidence but I'm curious to see what everyone else believes. I knew my ~ 50 percent ROI was too good to be true through the first 9 days of the month.

    Why would there be such a thing? Alot of people make a living playing so they would would suffer from this curse all the time.

    BTW in ur pic who are you pitching for, assuming its you? After further looking I assume its the Gateway Grizzlies.....I probably went to 10 games this year.

    Yes, that's who I played for. You probably saw me pitch then, I was there the whole season. Did you eat a Krispy Kreme burger?

    No, I didnt not....I am not very adventerous like that. Did you start for them and will you pitch for them again?

    Yes, I started and ended up going 8-7 w/ a 3.55 ERA. I don't know if I'll be back, I'm trying to get traded to a more experienced league.

    well....this is the last hand i had of the night. I know it's not unbeatable by any means but just capped an extremely unlucky day. I had not believed in it at all.....but I can't say I'm 100 % sure. I mean...if I were to analyze the beats I took and the odds of them happening....it would be pretty statistically crazy.

    Yea I'm sure there's a cashout curse. It couldn't possibly just be variance or anything.
