    I am a cold blooded gambler.
    I will bet on you and love you, then the next time out, I will fade you and curse your every move. The antics you pull to get foul calls, I'll cheer them one day and the next day call you a flopping pussy. I love my brother more than anyone in the world, but I would bet against him routinely if he was on the ATP circuit or in golf matchups. There is no loyalty to anyone in sports, and I think fans of any team are complete suckers that invest their hearts and wallets and care 100 times more about their team than the players do. They become broke and their hearts get broken, and if they by chance win the whole thing, they get to do a shot as a celebration and then it's back to a mundane, trivial life.

    I just realized recently how much I've changed from back when I was a sucker fan that didn't bet. I am a cold blooded gambler, and when I drive on the Vegas strip, those buildings are my enemy.

        No, just realized I'm as happy as I've ever been with regard to sports. It's great to see the whole field as a potential bet or fade, with no heart issues. You have to lose your heart to be in this war. And it is a war. Those penetrating bookies and casinos just fleece everyone.

              Don't know about that but what I can say from my end is that I neither bet on my team nor against it.
              Referring to Pujol's post I bet you gonna regret your words someday when your blood will turn out red and you lose most of your bankroll.
              I don't wish that to you though

                Lol, I guess you could say that. The thing that caused me to write this is those damn Cubs commercials where they keep talking about it being their year. "We got Maddon, we're gonna win it, this is our year." One too many of those for me. penetrate you fans, you suckers. The players will file for free agency the day after they win the World Series, if you ever manage to win it. And it's gonna be on big disappointment even if they do for you. Just bet. Win something if you're gonna watch sports.

                  Case in point, Albert left St Louis. It was like a divorce to the town. Then I just realized penetrate you Albert you ain't shit. And I'm not going to spend my life cheering because the Cards might win a WS again. Been there and done that twice. Doesn't mean shit in the end. The next day on Baseball Tonight, they're talking wow, the Cards are in serious trouble they are gonna lose this guy and that guy. Means something for 5 minutes for fans to go "Yea, my team. We won."

                    same with musicians and or entertainers how people think they are God....kids worshiping these freaks that are not even remotely like that in real life
                    I think jerkoffs idolize teams ..wearing team shirts like pricks

                        I think one of problems with many people is they worry too much about other people instead of their lives

                        Who cares what other people are doing..go look on so many websites all it is is gossip stuff about celebs

                        Why would anyone care that lets say Beyonce is having troubles in marriage??

                          True that if you bet with your heart game is over in the sports betting biz. Gotta stay clear of any bias or favor toward your hometown or favorite teams to succeed long-term it will kill your bankroll.

                            exactly and if your team wins are those players going to embrace the fans and let you celebrate with them???

                            are they going to buy you a beer at the bar and say thanks for being such a great fan?

                            are they going to share any of the millions of dollars they make???

                            fukk no. the players and owners dont give a fukk about the fans so why should we care about them?

                            fukk them all.

                            i'll root for the team i have money on and nobody else matters.

                              the day the season is over most players get the fukk out of what every city they play for and they dont return until they are forced to.

                              Tom Brady hates Boston and doesnt spend anymore time there than he has to.

                                        also remember men most athletes will not give you time of day if you saw them in person

                                        Something happens to these people once they become big as they are nothing like childhood most think they are bigger than life

                                        Money and fame definitely desensitize people

                                        look at all these young stars..Justin Bieber just one of them..kid was totally normal growing up and now he is just a zombie its sad

                                        Jeter is a prick in real life and I bet he was a normal kid in HS

                                          JJ,

                                          funny you mention that money changes people...

                                          i had a friend who was a minor league ball player and we were still friends when he was in MLB and when he was making 1 million a year and he would give me free tickets , free jerseys etc we would talk on the phone a few times a year and gradually as he started to make more money the less i heard from him

                                          then he signed an 8 million a year contract for about 3 years and then from that point on i have not heard from him since... he has retired from MLB but my point is the more money you make the more friends you have and the more money a person makes it changes them... alot of times it makes them forget where the came from.

                                              You guys better get out there one last time before OP bankrupts the town.
                                              Not what I meant. What I meant was that I see those towers, those billion dollar towers, and it's like a trophy they are holding up. It's like a warning that if you aren't careful, they will take every dollar you have and take you down. They'll give you a mansion as a room until you lose everything, then they will give you a free breakfast and tell you to get the penetrate out and go be a homeless bum. There is so much bullshit in the gambling industry. We want you to play responsibly. Hahahahahahaha. penetrate them.

The antics you pull to get foul calls, I'll cheer them one day and the next day call you a flopping pussy. I love my brother more than anyone in the world, but I would bet against him routinely if he was on the ATP circuit or in golf matchups. There is no loyalty to anyone in sports, and I think fans of any team are complete suckers that invest their hearts and wallets and care 100 times more about their team than the players do. They become broke and their hearts get broken, and if they by chance win the whole thing, they get to do a shot as a celebration and then it's back to a mundane, trivial life.

                                                    I just realized recently how much I've changed from back when I was a sucker fan that didn't bet. I am a cold blooded gambler, and when I drive on the Vegas strip, those buildings are my enemy.
                                                    I learned long ago to divorce emotions from sports betting. Emotions tend to short circuit rational thinking. When I became a disciplined, serious bettor, I ceased to become a fan. I ceased to become emotionally involved with money.

                                                    I learned that lesson long ago in the equity and bond markets...don't get married to your plays or picks.

                                                    Fact is, the markets prey on the emotions of people and, particularly, the bettors. This weakness in the bettors is just one of the many reasons some of us continue to win while so many continue to falter.

                                                        funny you mention that money changes people...

                                                        i had a friend who was a minor league ball player and we were still friends when he was in MLB and when he was making 1 million a year and he would give me free tickets , free jerseys etc we would talk on the phone a few times a year and gradually as he started to make more money the less i heard from him

                                                        then he signed an 8 million a year contract for about 3 years and then from that point on i have not heard from him since... he has retired from MLB but my point is the more money you make the more friends you have and the more money a person makes it changes them... alot of times it makes them forget where the came from.
