Self Control - trading under the influence

brodman_18 · April 24, 2010, 04:50:26 AM

I have made 4 trades so far this year. Some for injuries some not. I was sitting at my computer lat night with a glass of single malt feeling a little more than tipsy when I saw that Hitchcock was not playing this week. I remembered that he had had an ordinary weekend and that Pods and Rock were on the bubble and could not stop myself from trading him.

Any techniques of self control to stop trades like this?

Lol!

I think you should be able to take back your trades at anytime before lock out. That would stop it!

That would be a very handy feature and would improve the usability of the site.

best thing is to have your mates DT passwords & do it to their teams haha
nah i know the temptation mate, had a few bevies last nite whilst watching the footy show and saw Moles wasnt getting a game, nearly locked in the TRADE for lucas (even though he was on a 7-man bench)

thumbs up for the single malt. have 4 supercoach teams so you can trade in them instead and take your dream team serious

LOL so I haven't invented drink trading, its been around for a while. Up there with drink texting. Wake up in the morning and wish you hadn't done it. I've got a SC team that I haven't used trades in but Don't worry as much about my DT injuries later in the season.

2 too many? ;D can understand 2 with 1 for all those trades but 4!!!!! ;D

Brodman, have you considered not going on dt during the week (except to check the scores from the round before). Only on Thursday/Friday. Thats what i do and only down 1 trade in dt :D

brodman_18 · April 28, 2010, 03:34:25 AM

Nah its usually not a problem..... begining to think alcoholism may be the issue at play here... LOL. Don't have any desire to trade at all this week. We need drink traders anonymous.

*sigh* i have used 4 trades already and i have a plan that involves using double trades the next two weeks in a row. now im only 15 so i dont drink and i try not to go on dt but when your girlfriend dumps you over myspace it hurts and dt seems to be a good neutralizer of my anguish
