....and then they find out how big of a hamburger degen you are when you lose on a play?
I'll be honest, me as a young dumb stud, when I first started gambling on sports......I sure did. Boy, my friends thought I was the biggest degen in the world when I told them my play 4 hours before game time. I showed them my ticket and all and then we sat down and watch the game just to see it get lose by the hook. Now I know how JJ feels carrying that spreadsheet and walking around the forum like he has the biggest rooster hanging below his belly button. But geez, ever since I started bragging to my friends about a play, they would start betting with me and fading me. They aren't even gamblers but I still came out as a loser. Holy shit man! I never felt like hiding from my friends on Monday night football. Biggest degen in the world right here guys.

Anyways, anyone remember the movie, "Owning Mahowny"??? Almost at the begining of the movie Mahowny is walking with his friend and talking about the double date they are going to and that if things don't go well, they can still watch the NCAAB game and root for North Carolina-1.5. So basically, Mahowny is doing what this thread is all about and then his friend witnesses the whole thing how Mahowny is nothing but a hamburger. Great movie! Based on a true SBR degen stories and more to come!

Nah, I don't mention it unless the subject comes up. When it comes to my family they like to guilt trip me for the next six months if they know I'm still wagering on sports.

I just told my friend to take Chiefs+15

It has been my experience that if you tell a girl you gamble a lot, they will fukk you, but not marry or seriously date you.

Am I degen if while watching that movie I was just as nervous and glued to the TV as Mahowny was during the NC free throws? And felt just as dejected as he felt when they did not cover?

My girl told me straight up she doesn't like it and to be careful. I'm not betting anywhere near thousands or even a few hundreds on games though so I don't consider myself a complete degen.

My girl's dad is a true degen. May even be a member of this site. He never had a job and denied she was his kid until she was 16. He is professinal gambler. So she gets kinda pissed when I gamble and spend majority of weekends drinking and watching games i wagered on.

Friends fade me cause Im really not a good gambler, but nothing is better than a victory when your friends fade you.

Started gambling January 2011 after seeing SBR's own Brock Landers rubberband thread. Life is a lot more fun now than last year when I was watching these games with no action.

Cheers

I was hanging out with one girl, and it got to the point where she would get pissy if I brought my phone in the bar with me cuz all I did was check scores every 5 minutes

[RGG]

Yeah I do, but I leave out the games where I lose.

[rm18]

talking is usually not a good idea either you look bad or make people jealous and want to rob you

[Tech N9ne]

No

[griz]

Yeah I do, but I leave out the games where I lose.

[neverstoppers23]

Yeah most of my friends and family know, not scured to hide it.

[Holtgetsback]

People ask too many questions and then fukkin cheer for you to lose.
