Default Getting shut out poll.

Let's say there's a game you love and are planning to make a nice bet on it. But, for whatever reason, you get shut out and can't bet it. At this point, would you rather have your team win or lose?

There are good arguments on both sides. I said lose. It feels like you dodged a bullet and it's like winning $ by not losing. OTOH, it means your handicapping might be a little off.

Lose - not that it's necessarily like winning money, but winning IS like losing money, and that puts me on tilt.
