Title: Self Control - trading under the influence
Post by: brodman_18 on 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.

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

Post by: brodman_18 on 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

Bad Luck about the Mrs dumping you on Myspace buddy.... chin up! your only 15, I garuntee you won't even remember her name in 6 months. Imagine the trades you might do if you used alcohol to ease the pain of the breakup!
Title: Re: Self Control - trading under the influence
Post by: vman33 on April 29, 2010, 10:56:32 AM
im exactly the same!

what i do is allow myself to use up ten trades for the first half of season to get rid of any duds
then i only use the other 10 trades only for injuries in the crucial final rounds

Dont trade before teams are announced, but definitely get revenge on the B....H that dumped you on facebook.
Title: Re: Self Control - trading under the influence
Post by: MrRiosWan on April 30, 2010, 01:25:34 AM
To be honest I dont see alot wrong with that trade given some of the talent that has dropped in price considerably already. I think its a good time to build your team up if youve got the coin.

This is a football forum not a Lonely Hearts Club, tell it to Dr Phil Elephant Man!  As for the idea of reneging on trades before lock out, seriously why don’t we just make it unlimited trades for all you mud larks that are useless at the real thing.

To many morons involved in DT these days, was better when it was just the purists

ideally my players could stop getting injured however im tempted to make my other half change the password and only she can log me in when i can walk a straight line
Title: Re: Self Control - trading under the influence
Post by: brodman_18 on May 07, 2010, 04:53:45 AM
LOL nice one!
true if my players stopped getting injured or pulling out with shower excuses like leg soreness or hamstring tightness (then go out to the logies). Last week I had out in my mids, GAJ, Mitchell, Shuey, Mckenzie and Martin. plus danger in the fwds = 3 donuts!!! not happy

Good decisions come from Shiraz, you're sipping and appreciating it, taking your time to ponder.
Bad decisions come from Beer, you can't wait for it to finish, you can't wait for another and you have to keep taking a pi$$, rush,rush,rush.

Post by: brodman_18 on June 25, 2010, 02:41:28 PM
Hmmm interesting thought rooster? What if you have had too much shiraz. that is the question. I would add bourbon to the list of bad decisions also.

Not under any influence (unless you count starting holidays as one :P) but decided to go Playfair to Henderson in SC. But was copping 2 donuts :'(.

New trading method I've come up with, drink COOPERS!

When you're unsure about what to do and your mind is clouded, the choice should be clear....COOPERS CLEAR! ::)
