    We Gamble To Lose

    It is true what they say. JJGold has always preached this. Coach is wise beyond all of our years.

    When you win you become complacent, bored, you do not appreciate it at all.

    When you are down, the heat is on to get it back and the thrill from the tilt is the seed of life.

    After you pull a great run, the satisfaction is gone almost instantly and there is an emptiness, a desire for more.

    Losing fills the void. It might be comparable to an emo kid cutting himself.

    Your head says winning is good because you are making money, but this isn't what drives you deep down. It's the chase.

    Thankfully my head wins the internal battles most of the time, but it is a different story for guys like Patrick Venditto and Brock Landers. This vid fits them to a T.

    True to an extent, but I don't enjoy losing and when it's all gone it's not much fun.

    I disagree,
    When i win i feel like i'm smarter than the books, smarter than other gamblers, it feels great and i envision huge profits in my future.
    When i lose I feel like maybe i don't have that edge that I think that I have and I am not as excited about my next wager.

    Another spot-on post my my good friend sunde91.

    As always, good stuff my brother! Note to some of you younger posters: Don't FUKK with sunde91. He's a bad motherfukker. He's been know to fully emasculate other grown males by simply the words he types in his beloved chit-chat room.

    Understand that the joy from winning is short lived and derived from the redeeming feeling of getting losses back. Winning in itself is usually never good enough. How much until you're satisfied? Up 1k? 10k? 100k? It is never good enough and never stops.

    JJGold and I are savants who understand this.

    Everyone wants the thrill/excitement/rush/narcotic of watching a game you wagered on play out. When your chasing its even more of a thrill because of the added pressure.

    For me I've experienced all the highs and lows...hitting big, betting more than I could pay (payment plan afterwards), chasing losses with bigger losses...Nice hits at Casino also leaving barreled in...The one thing that has never changed for me tho is my desire to win...Was it the rush I was searching for??? No I don't think so. I have always been one to walk away when up...sometimes I don't tho....Never satisfied.

    Over time I've learned, don't put yourself in a tough situation where your gambling more than you can afford. It's nice to stay within your means. Always stay hungry, but stay sharp. Find angles and never play heavy favs. I'm at a spot now where I win some and lose some...but I know for a fact, I don't gamble to lose

    YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME

    Gamble for the rush. Bet just enough so it's interesting but not over top so I go crying to the pawn shop, like a lot of you fukkin degens. Some people wanna get rich of this, good fukkin luck. If I can pay a car note or phone note,great. But if you get pleasure from gettin barreled in, you need to get your head fukkin checked.
