No need to apologise Kobe. I think we all just get worried about you because you seem a bit too stressed, if that makes sense. This stuff's not easy - no such thing as free money, even if you tailed LB until the day he died. Between streaks, bad beats, team's not showing up, fixes, etc... this shit could really do your head in if you don't look at it for what it is. I've seen guys ruin chunks of their lives over this stuff - people think it won't happen to them but it can. Just be careful and I'm happy to hear you've made a dent in your debt.

Thanks MT!!!! Changing my username tonight to something a little less obvious to those who search something gambling related and see my damn name pop up. Figured I'd put my picture back up for luck and so you guys know who I am when you see me in here with a new name.

Cripes, you're putting 10x on that???? Well, I guess if I'm going to tail again on NHL, now's the time to do it. Think I'll stick with 2x though.

Best of luck Paco!!

Lyon , u guys won, but don't tell me that wasn't as lucky as it can get ?

luck is part of it pal- the thunder got what they deserved. the lakers won in the most hostile environment in the league- anyways we all get lucky sometimes. i would rather have the lakers on my side in a do or die game than the thunder and la controlled that game but for a momentary lapse-

phil jacksons whole career has been luck-

Off-topic again -- anyone doing the Derby tomorrow? I'm rolling with Paddy O'Prado at 20:1. Jockey that's won three Derbys, and the weather's supposed to be sloppy, which should give POP a chance.

I'm going tomorrow with my girlfriend and her family. Should be fun, though I won't have a lot of money to spend. Won't impress her parents though.

**SoV** · 05-01-10, 01:00 AM

Btw, got a more accurate avatar, which represents me and the forum.

**MidgetTossers** · 05-01-10, 01:06 AM

guys i have been tailing all of lbs plays for months now...there have been more good weeks than bad and since i have been tailing him i am up quite a bit...i lost 26x last week but was able to absorb that easily with all the money i was up with him....i cant stress this enough...if the guy makes a bet thats 15x or higher i would roll with it and not ask questions...i would really be up a hole lot more if it wasnt for some stupid bets i have made on my own but i am learning and will continue to learn form the best...yes i still freak out on every bet cause its just my nature and i cant help it but in reality if i were to lose both bets i tailed from him tonight i still would have been ok...hope some of u learned something tonight and best of luck to u guys

Just curious, but do you literally tail every one of LB's plays, including ones that you like the other side of?

Ok, well if you say so, I'll stick another 3x on. Bloody hell - 5x on the damn NHL for me.

You have no idea how much I'm going to cop for this, whether it wins or not.

Although I know already it's a winner.

Well said MT. And I think the other important thing is that LB gave a pretty good indication of what his roll is the other night so 25x or 50x is not even close to an 'all-in' for him. We're talking 5-10% max. And how often do those plays happen?

That's why I keep going on about money mgmt in here. If someone pops in with a $2000 roll and drops $1500 on a play because that's the exact amount LB is, well they're going to end up with a lot more than ulcers quickly enough.

well said shari...thats exactly what happens around here..on lbs 25x i went 10x and on the 15x i went 6x...i dont go exactly the same amounts...i have to scale down cause my roll is but a fraction of what his is

MT why dont you just lower your units then so you can wager unit for unit? In the end it would work out much better for you.

**MidgetTossers** · 05-01-10, 01:30 AM

i dont know...not a bad idea i guess...im doing pretty good though this way...ill keep that in mind thanks

Yeah, that's a good way to do it. I don't know why I worry about it - everyone here is hopefully of legal age

so they have the right to do whatever they want with their money. It's just when I see people get so stressed, not just in here - but elsewhere on the forum and in real life as well - I just want to shake them a bit. Seen bad stuff happen too many times to people because of gambling.

Especially if they're coming in this thread for a quick fix. If you overbet what you can't afford, you're not going to be around to make it back and then some if a play loses. Guess everyone learns in their own time though. Must be the Mummy coming out in me.

Have fun, paco. I'm assuming you've been there before -- I haven't gone across the bridge in almost 10 years.

Spend some of that hard-earned $$$ on the ones you love.
