What is Game Effort?
1.
1) When the team/player one bet on loses in spectacular fashion, causing emotional stress and financial destitution to the gambler. This could be due to a blowout loss or a last-second heartbreaking backdoor cover.
2) When one's favorite team/player loses in spectacular fashion, causing emotional stress to the fan.
One may add "sport" or "kid" to the end of the phrase for more effect.
A Yankees fan watching Game Seven of the ALCS exclaims, "game effort, sport" as Johnny Damon hits a grand slam.
