    Goodbye SBR and Gambling

    Due to some personal problems that have stemmed from gambling and various accounts I am walking away for good. I have been under fire and advise those that are playing with locals to be careful. Its no secret the government is stepping in and taking over the gambling industry one book at a time. I thought that hell would freeze over before I would have any reperocussions, well I have found out the hard way that I am not invincible. I have enjoyed betting on sports for the past 10 years but the recent months have been life changing to say the least. Luckily I have been categorized as a more recreational bettor compared to friends that are facing more serious problems. I think that its a good time to walk away...

    Good luck to all!

    sure, we are all shivering in our boots over the fact that the government doesn't want us to gamble. what are they going to do. build a gambling prison for anyone who places a bet either legally or illegally. i don't know what your problem is jmathes, but you are overdramatizing it for sure.

    no drama here just trying to make you all aware that there can be repercussions for what you do. for some its perfectly legal and for others its not.

    JMathes is a serious and thoughtful poster, and he was a force in the sbr contests...

    usually for these kinda posts, I say something like... Just leave! don't make a thread for it! I post to who is HERE!

    but in this case, this is an actual good dude, that I WILL miss and I appreciate him letting us know that he is moving on.


    Good Luck and Allah Speed JMathes

    Are you a cop? Maybe they'd frown more on cops dealing with bookies.

    But a normal citizen gets caught with a bookie, they arrest the bookie, don't do shit to the guys betting.

    Such a sad story, I am shedding a tear.

    jmathes owes downsouth and I 2,250 points that he is conveniently walking away from. Ran up the loan to thousands in the SBR book and Thad's book, then lost them all.

    Buys an I-pad in the store Jan 29.
    DS and I loan him 2,500 on Feb 3, runs them to thousands, loses and now leaves.

    I have heard this story before.

    This shit is a little scary, getting way too close to my fukking backdoor. Plano about 7-8 miles away, Frisco only about 2-3 miles away, South Lake about 10 away.
    My local warned me about a year ago that this shit was going to happen with these offshores.
