The money is a driving factor but it is mostly for fun and entertainment. I enjoy sports and stats and if I can profit off of it thats a good thing.

**topgame85** · 03-25-09, 11:03 AM

Adrenaline Rush is why most of us are here, the highs and lows, extra money is always nice but not the only factor

**Nicky Santoro** · 03-25-09, 11:05 AM

if we were all in it to only make money gambling, we would not be here and would be studying lines right now and staring at screen and shopping for #'s.. this is worst place to be at.

**fiveteamer** · 03-25-09, 11:06 AM

It's a I get high a little bit when I place a wager and sometimes I just need to have that feeling win or lose. I do not even care about the money.

**Richkas** · 03-25-09, 11:06 AM

Its all about the money for me. If I want to have fun I go out with friends.

**fiveteamer** · 03-25-09, 11:07 AM

Nicky, by "here" I did not just mean sbrforum, I meant gambling in general.

I gamble to get high first and foremost.

**Bread** · 03-25-09, 11:10 AM

I gamble strictly to win. Don't ask me how that's working out for me though.

**fiveteamer** · 03-25-09, 11:11 AM

Bread you are just about the biggest action junkie here there is no way in hell you bet just to win money.

**sickler** · 03-25-09, 11:24 AM

I like winning money.

I dislike losing money.

Money is the driving force. The rest is just window dressing.

**jjgold** · 03-25-09, 11:27 AM

Bread if you gamble to win then why are you betting?? I now gamble for action and the "feel" I get like a drug addiction.

**fiveteamer** · 03-25-09, 11:32 AM

Perfect example is Sammy.

Does anybody remember his Seina vid?

Did you see him? I've been around many stoned people in my life and Sammy looked stoned out of his mind in that video watching Siena when he had $1200 on them.

Most guys here waiting for lines to come out sound like the people waiting in line at the methadone clinic to open up.

If I could shove a whole day's spreads into a syringe and jam them into my arm, where they would infiltrate my blood stream until my pupils dilated with buzzer beaters, I would.

Very true. It took me a long time to get that through my thick skull but it did finally sink in awhile ago. I used to fight and fight to have the forum BS cut out so it would be a better place for money-making purposes. I assumed that everyone was in the same boat.

As I finally came to see though, I am in a small minority who are floating along in a little raft beside the Titanic which, as you say, is full of guys who don't see the money side of things as the priority.

It also took me a long time to realize that that is in my best interest.

**Matt Rain** · 03-25-09, 11:57 AM

Fiver, give me a winner, pal.

**Bread** · 03-25-09, 12:44 PM

CORRECT fivey. I think he actually enjoys losing. He loves the pain, especially when slamming two beers at once.

**AMBlai01** · 03-26-09, 12:35 AM

**Robyn** · 03-26-09, 12:35 AM

John Denver.

**The General** · 03-26-09, 12:35 AM

Nice place to hang with people of common interest and there is quite a bit of nice sports info, IMO.

**Robyn** · 03-26-09, 12:36 AM

Amby was at a trendy nightclub when we called him last week. He had girls all around him, I could hear them. What a stud.

**AMBlai01** · 03-26-09, 12:38 AM

LOL Robyn...I don't know if you would call it a trendy nighclub...more like a neighborhood bar. There were a few girls around though....

**Robyn** · 03-26-09, 12:41 AM

Amby, don't lie. You told me that you were pounding $17 martinis.

**RogueJuror** · 03-26-09, 05:58 AM

**Robyn** · 03-26-09, 06:35 AM

**Bread** · 03-26-09, 06:37 AM

Joorer you gotta keep me updated with your ever-changing phone numbers.

I'm not the CIA homeboy. It's OK.

**pico** · 03-26-09, 06:45 AM
