    I mean today I was thinking how the phuck am i going to live another 10 years when all my life is pure stress and nervousness and anxiety.

    This is all i know how to do and i curse myself for closing my own doors on other stuff years ago.

    Watching the dodgers win today made me sit down have a smoke in a dark room and think to myself for the first time .. what the fvck did i do with my life?

    I am no example for my kids their dad is a crazy , gambling hooligan that will live of this .

    Im tired of riding in this rollercoaster. Im tired of being burned .

    This really sucks

    i guess my mom was right after all
    Maybe you should just stop, dude. There's no reason to be this stressed. Try quitting.

    I've been stressed in the past but not as serious as you seem to be. I gamble 'cause I like to have fun...I can "afford" to lose 'cause I don't go crazy.

    Maybe you "go for it all" a lot?

      that was by far your best post ever at sbr. you make a lot of sense and it is the truth.. it's no life this shit.. we are NOT normal people. normal people don't go through this stress each day. life is supposed to be normal and live a normal life. this is not a normal life. it's all ups and downs. you win, you lose big.. you win.. you lose big.. it's repetitive each day. it's no way to live a life. how can i ever be a dad one day to my son when he asks me to drive him to his friends house and i dont want to go because i have to put in 2 bets and the cubs game is 3-2 bot 9.. or how can i wake up at 7 am to drive him to school when i went to bed at 4 am after my late game bets?

      it's no fukkin life..i can give 894 more examples why gambling is taking away my life and my social life.. i just want to be normal. if i can do this all over again, i would have never made that 1st bet at age 15 or so. i would have went a diff direction. this is NO WAY to live.

      good post. you just gained some pts for POTM award now.. i will remember this thread when me and JJ make our decision.

            you guys need to join our ever-growing PEP thread and get some positive energy into gambling again...

            rediscover the joy of it and win or lose as a GROUP

            the community of SBR needs to rally around this effort and do something as a TEAM...

            one way to make gambling fun again is to participate in it WITH others...

                Dude, shut up! You keep posting this on every thread. If they want to join in, they'll do it.

                They can see the thread for themselves and join in on the fun - if they want.

                  I wish i would have stayed in college , and listen to my mom but the money was to appealing .

                  It was cool when i was single and the industry was different i was making great money and i felt like a champ.

                  8 years later , this industry sucks it doesnt leave much $ . I have 2 kids im stressed about providing and being a good dad i love my daughter and son with all my heart and sometimes i get home cranky after a bad day and still try to play with them and be there since im gone 12 hours a day and even then i just think about scores?

                  I am tired of these fukin athletes roid users deciding my future .

                  BUT , what do i do ? no other honest job will pay me what this does .

                  But what is the price?

                  I have an ulcer , I have high blood pressure I smoke 2 packs a day , i suffer from anxiety attacks and im not even 30 .

                  I have a decision to make and soon . Maybe i wont make as much but then i think to myself .

                  I have 2 kids and its worth it to break my back for them , but what if i die so young from stress?

                  Or is it this me quitting and they will be the affected ones when i cant buy them cool stuff , like i did before?

                  I dont even drink much anymore this is pure sobriety and me lettinh some stress of my chest.

                  I think this time i might be done for good

                  Well this will be the obvious thing to say but who cares...

                  You need to stop gambling.

                  In my opinion, and this will probably go against what all these other addicts think - but once you have a family that you need to provide for - the fun is over. You can't be losing your money on sports.

                  As you said, being single and all that other fun stuff is good when you don't have responsibilities. Once you bring kids into this world...that's it...time to grow up.

                  I might catch hell from some of these people here but oh fvckin' well. I think you should seriously stop. I know it's easier said than done but there's programs out there that can help you.

                    From Alcoholics Anonymous (Substitute most addictions)

                    - Our Southern Friend

                    I cannot see the cause of this temptation now. But I am to learn later that it began with the desire for my own material success becoming greater than the interest in the welfare of my fellow man. I learn more of that foundation stone of character, which is honesty. I learn that when we act upon the highest conception of honesty which is given us, our sense of honesty becomes more acute. I learn that honesty is truth, and the truth shall make us free!

                      Dude, I was talking to SSLP, not you. Stop trying to be the boss of everyone and telling people what's right or not, damn.

                      I'll go about recruiting people for PEP how I want and you go about your lil pimp slaps how you want..

                      I know what I'm doing so mind your own business...

                          I'm not trying to be the boss of anyone, douche. This was a serious thread...then you come on with your damn PEP stuff. I like your thread myself and it's fun but don't go advertising it everywhere. The other posters can see it for themselves - they know it's there. If they want to join in, they will. Pretty simple.

                              My position in the industry is a stressful one i have alot of responsbilties and i am held responsible when others fuk up.

                              You guys complaint about losing and i complaining that this industry isnt gonna get anybetter and im tired of trying and i became a slave to this.

                              Again my kids are provided for .

                              What i am saying is I wish i could get out now , but it seems to late .
                              Sorry, guy. I guess I didn't understand.

                              But the overall gambling industry is very stressful - no doubt about that. There's good times and there's bad times. It definitely isn't for everyone.

                                  Uh let's see, you try and dominate every conversation. You can't even make a point without resorting to name calling...

                                  Sure they may see the thread, but you can also see a preview to a movie and then only wanna see it based on a recommendation from a friend.

                                  As far as why I advertised PEP... Pretty simple.. the guy prob bets big. Guys like this keep gamblin even when they wanna stop. What PEP does, is allow someone like that to slow down a lil. And have some FUN

                                  Maybe it'll ease his stress and keep him betting low, or for fun. I kinda doubt he will just quit cold turkey, so this is an alternative.

                                  I have no prob presenting an alternative solution to heavy gambling. If you have a prob with me doing it, get over it..

                                    Whatever, guy. Once again you've accomplished to make a thread about you and your PEP. Congrats.

                                    The guy is talking about stopping and you're fvckin' advertising your thread? Selfish prick. You seem desperate in your attempts. Not everyone wants to do parlays. There's a great group of guys that post on PEP...don't go shoving it down everyone's throat. If people want to do it - they'll join in. Pretty logical.

                                    That'll be the last time I talk to you about THIS on THIS thread.

                                      You made this thread about you and your smack talk... I merely provided the guy an alternative to gambling heavy. I doubt he is gonna stop, based on some of the threads on here..

                                      If he IS gonna stop. Then more power to him. I def don't want him to keep gambling if it's gonna be detrimental to his family. All I did was provide the guy a POSITIVE alternative to what his normally grind prob is.

                                      Don't go saying I'm selfish when I'm trying to offer an alt solution to the guy.

                                        There are lot of jobs that are more stressful than laying bets @ -110 (or -105) and being in line with Don Best. Now, if you are one of the originators and your model is getting crushed, then it's a different ball game.

                                            For some people gambling is the only way they know how to make money. I can attest to this

                                                SSLP might be one of the most intense and emotional posters any forum has ever seen. He is a emotional roller coaster.

                                                Lets be honest here, if your with him when he gets in one of these moods your done. He is a walking time bomb and i think many guys will shy away from him at the bash.

                                                    This decides it. I'm giving SSLP a hug in Vegas.

                                                    I wasn't sure at first, but now I can see that he's just a teddy bear under the rough exterior.

                                                    COME HERE SSLP AND LET'S HUG IT OUT BITCH!!
