Best way to quit sports betting?

[2daBank]

Like a junkie, you will find a way to gamble. Got to get rid of the mentality.

Not talking bout personal experience. I’ve never lost everything cause of gambling, lol.

I have pretty good self control, hardly ever bet above my means. Few times over the years I’ve went to boat and lost a great deal more than I could afford, not a good feeling! Lol.

Once after I got out of prison and was just a normal working stiff with not that great a income yet I did it and was so pissed at myself on the way home I did math on how long it take for me to get the amount of money back by not smoking, came up w days/years and quit cold turkey, didn’t buy another pack of cigs till those 500ish days (or whatever it was) were over! Soon as I made it went right back to smoking! Dumb, lol.. I still bet sports during that time!!

oh wow

good thing he didnt go into the telephone pole on a 4 lane highway

for some reason i can't stop laughing at this post

[JIBBBY]

Best way to quit is go broke

Being broke isn't good enough for some. Junkies will always find ways to borrow and go further into debt. Go deeper into that Abyss..

Can always go PRO and start betting with SBR bet points daily instead of real money and con your brain into thinking you have action.

[slayer14]

You can enter tipping competions that give prizes out like money

[tb1984]

Go broke, lose job, get in debt then become homeless...

GA next move at that point.. Work the 10 step program then earn sober chips..

I agree with this. Get to rock bottom, then remember that feeling

I agree with this. Get to rock bottom, then remember that feeling

Goes with just about every addiction in life. Rock bottom works. Works with hard drug addictions too..

Prison time can work as well. Gives you time to think about your life regrets and to get sober while rotting away in your jail cell.

Only thing I regretted in prison was fact I squandered all the money I was making, not what got me there or any the drugs, just the fact I lost sight of my goals and wasn’t all that much better off than the losers in there for dumb shit. That part was the worst! lol. And gambling played a huge role in why I wasn’t left w much other than some good stories, not sports gambling, that has never really cost me all that much, I lost a small fortune at the casinos tho. Lol

How much time were you in for Bankers and for what?

Jail sucks, luckily I've never had to experience that in my life. I'd go nuts locked up in a cage every day. I would probably try to read books though and probably write letters most of the time. That's just speculation on my end though.

[jjgold]

Banker was in

Attempted murder, arm robbery

I thought you knew (everybody does, lol). I did like 3 years and few months. Felony possession w intent of weed (got pulled over w 100 lbs in Mississippi when I was 27-28ish). 10 year sentence, did the rest on parole.

Honestly it wasnt nearly as bad as it made out to be., the 6 months they held me without a bond in their county jail was w nightmare (took that long to get a bond cause they called me a flight risk and guess they thought if they kept me sitting eventually I’d turn snitch cause every few months they would come back w suits from varies agencies trying to get me to snitch on folks, lol)..

Once I bonded out then came back to do my time after being convicted those few years wernt shit for real (so the time was split, I got credit for those 6 months in county and then was out for bout 6-7 months during the court process, so did little over 2.5 straight in prison). But hell, Mississippi state prison so jammed up w real criminals (you know violent offenders and thief's, the only ppl that should be in prison!!). That I only spent few months in the actual state pen. Rest of time I was at these things they call satellites where I went out to work unsupervised every day, had weights, basketball court, volley ball, horseshoes, could have 2 12x12 boxes sent to me every month w food, cigs, pretty much whatever so lived pretty good (plus the places I worked always fed me good real world food!). Even got conjugal visits so the wife would come down every couple weeks and id get pussy! (Best time of our 15 year marriage! lol)..,

It was harder on my family than me, I got in great shape and pretty much spun on my head. Only time that was rough was when I became eligible for parole but since I was paroling out of state it took few months and that sucked, it pretty easy to do time ya know you gotta do, but when ur time supposed to be up and you left waiting around not knowing it a bitch! It all about the mind I suppose. Lol

I hardly ever wrote, hated when I got letters cause then I have to write back! Lol. Seriously one of worst things was the 2x a week I would call over to my moms house to talk to her and my wife, I didn’t wanna hear bout shit out there and I didn’t have shit to say, lol. I did that for them. I did read a ton of books. I’ll never pick up another book in my life! Lol.

^^ Weed lol.. 100 pounds is alot though.. Ouch 3 years...

[2daBank]

^^ Weed lol.. 100 pounds is alot though.. Ouch 3 years...

lol. Being totally honest for me it wasn’t, we used to get 1500 at a time delivered by the cartel (bunch of my friends did fed time for conspiracy to traffic, luckily I never got jammed up in any the fed indictments, I was pretty good at what I did! Lol). Once that plug died off I had to start getting creative and going other places to get it cheap how I got caught up. If I was smart I woulda had other ppl doing that part but thing is you can trust very few, one to just not bolt w your cash of fukk up, 2 not to snitch when they get jammed up. The few friends I had I knew I could count on had kids and shit so I woulda felt like hell had one of them got jammed so I did it all myself. Pretty dumb cause those idiots ruined everything when I went away! Had it all on a silver patter for them and it all fell apart while I was gone, lol. Who knew just any idiot couldn’t run shit??!!?

I always knew I’d end up in prison for a stretch so maybe that why it made it easier for me, never crossed my mind to snitch my way out of it. I think lot of criminals too dumb to look big picture so when they get caught they turn to scared pussies and start looking to fukk anyone they can to get out of it: me, I expected it at some point, still sucks when it happens but knew it would one day.,

like I said the only bummer part to me was I always told myself the time I did be worth it if I got it trying to achieve certain goals, but somewhere along the way I lost sight of those goals and became obsessed w the lifestyle and blowing the money as fast as I could make it, lol. You will never hear me trash these athletes that broke 3 years after they out of the league cause I get it. When you grow up poor then get real money it real real easy to be super dumb with it! Lol. That my only regret, if I had to do over I’d still do it all just minus the 2-3k a night bar/club tabs for 15 my “closest friends”, weekly casino trips dropping 10k or more, trips to all over blowing money, basically being a big headed show off cause I had it. All the cash I just gave to ppl I thought were my friends cause they needed it (some those I don’t regret, I like helping ppl, others I do).. some my friends were smart and put money away, used it to start businesses when they got out. I wasn’t, lol.

^ Weed is basically legal today.. Years ago you did go to jail for that crap.. That was 3 years you shouldn't have spent in prison, just open up a dispensary today.

I'm not proud to post this up but I actually own a commercial property in West LA that I rent out now to a legal weed dispensary.. It's off Western Avenue and the 10 frwy here in Los Angeles, Ca.. NO LIE!!!

I rented to this guy who owned other legal ones in the area.. I was morally conflicted but I thought if it's legal it legal.. I went with it.. He pays on time and is making a fortune now.. Weed does help and healing benefits.. I use to smoke it.. Not anymore..

[stake1]

Bet no more than 2-3 games per day. If you like more than that, do a parlay with 10% of your normal straight wager risk. It’s almost impossible to quit betting on sports if you are an action junkie, but setting hard limits on what you will risk should go along way managing things.

[dante1]

Only way to survive gambling... spot betting

you know why this has some merit because bookies don't like spot betting. good thought.

Weed has never lead anyone to herion, it the dumbest argument made by the idiots who support the war on drugs. Obviously someone willing to try a substance deemed bad by jerkoffs is more prone to try other substances,, having a personality more likely to experiment w taboo things will obviously make you more likely to try harder drugs than some pussy who doesn’t do anything cause they been told it bad.

The argument that weed leads to other things is like saying 2+2= potato. Not once ever has weed been directly responsible for someone using a harder drug. Maybe if the powers that be didn’t lie and vilify harmless drugs ppl would take the bad ones more seriously. It dumb fukks who spread this nonsense that leads ppl to try other things once they realize you been lying about weed for 100 years.

I smoked weed and never shot up and either did all of my friends growing up that smoked weed.. You are wrong JJ..

I do hope I'm not a drug dealer indirectly. I never want to be that!!! I DO NOT WANT TO BE THAT!!! Like I said I was spiritually and morally conflicted renting out my property to a dispensary. It was legal though and I didn't break any laws...

Talking with my tenant I told him that, he went through all his patient lists showing me how his patients were helped.. Cancer patients..

He convinced me and I rented my property to him. Alcohol I do believe can be worse when out of control and that's legal too..

I hope not.. Don't make me feel bad JJ.. He's straight and paid.. I screened him hard.. He's got outstanding credit, owns a restaurant and one other dispensary that's been around for a while now..

He begged me to rent to him and I did.. He seemed like a good guy.. He pays his rent on time. City of LA ok'd it all..

I'm rolling with it.. What will be will be.. He remolded the place too, made it all secure and nice looking.. It was a car dealership lot before that..

Go in there once in a while check things out

[The Kraken]

Tail Morino, you'll have no choice but to quit

[JIBBBY]

Go in there once in a while check things out

I will JJ maybe.. It's a commercial property and when they sign the lease for 5 years and start the business up I give them complete control of the property.. I just want monthly rent checks coming in the mail.. It's not like residential rental properties..

Once a business is set up on your commercial property you don't want to bother them.. Let them run it and you drive by once in a while.. I may not talk to this tenant for 3-6 months now if everything goes smooth..

Commercial leases last for years and years. They are running a business on your land and let it be.

I always say if you wanna get rich in life buy commercial property. Once you get a business owner in there that is sharp and solid that will become their lively hood and it's money for 10 or 20 years at a 3% increase every year for you as the owner..

Commercial property in good areas is an absolute gold mine. Take note to this post investors if reading in.

You think small with residential rentals and apartment buildings and you get head aches, property management problems, vacancies and rehab costs constantly.. You get a commercial property and a solid tenant renting on your land and it's so easy and NO MANAGEMENT for years to come..

I don't even want to think about this property anymore I just wanna get that rent check in the mail every month and move on. That's how it's been since I bought this property back in the LA riots in the 90... Last tenant was there for 20 years.. Never called me once for anything.. I like that ...

That's how you retire in life.

Sorry to hear that you had to go through that brother. I’ve been through a few issues myself over the years. But luckily when it comes to the Ushy, in Canada for a first time offender it was always a small slap on the wrist. It’s now legal, so you get caught with some real weight and you have never been jammed up before your not looking at any real time (as it should be) the biggest pain in the ass is your lawyer fees that will almost always lead to dropped charges or minimized to a possession or something stupid that’s off your frxord in a couple years. It’s now legalized in Ontario and a couple other provinces and you can legally have up to an OZ on you and nothing happens. But since they legalized it up here if you get cdricing stoned you get the same charge as a DUI. They have test strips that they can place on your tongue and tell how recently you smiled or ingested THC. You also cannot deny that test and they don’t have to have any reasonable cause for asking anyone to do the test strip test. Marijuana doesn’t lead anyone to use heroin, people who say weed is a gateway drug are brain washed by republican politicians into believing that and have Probally never blazed a solid in their life. In fact weed has helped many heroine addicts and pill heads addicted to perks/Vikes/Oxy’s off that shit. The NHL is the only major sport that has proper rules in affect for positive tests of marijuana. You can have multiple positive tests for THC and not be suspended. Other sports would rather pump addictive opiates into their players for pain management then medicinal marijuana. When I played pro hockey for years in the 2007-2013 range team doctors used to pass out perks and oxy’s like pezz candies. They wonder why so many hockey players have ended up dead, and having serious issues with those things. I’m sure it’s a lot different now since the Opiate epidemic has taken over North America. Smoking weed for some people can help some much with anxiety, appetite issues, sleep and pain management. It’s just a matter of time before is legalized / de-criminalized across Canada and the United States. People doing life sentences and decades of time for weed is an absolute joke. Sitting in a cell for 3 years and change ain’t no joke, and I feel for the time you lost going through that BANKS. But sometimes it can be the best way to get a clear head and a better perspective on things and help someone change everything that was negative in their life. Biggest issue with it being legalized in Ontario is the check points and “RIDE PROGRAMS” they have set up all over the place and people who like to go out for a couple a Pints getting popped with DUI’s because they are trying to pin stoned drivers all over the place. Christ, you drive a hell of a lot better and safer when your stoned, it’s nothing like driving drunk. But hell, what do I know right ? Lol.

Really wanna fix the bad habits gents that you can't control then put on some head phones and turn up the volume and REALLY listen to these two videos below carefully.. In order one after the other!!!!

Trust in the good man up stairs my friends. It's real and he's there. Give it up because you can't do it on your own. He will fix stuff.

Oh and these vids below are both in black and white. Who cares as the message is there and the color of your skin doesn't matter! God didn't make any mistakes in making people at birth.


I'm a Godly man down deep. I keep it light on this forum and try to fit in. I got my vices too.. I'm no saint on this planet myself but I know stuff, I've seen and felt stuff that would blow your hair back. I'm not lying either..

Bump.... Not joking about this... Hit rock bottom try this tonight my friends on SBR.. Might just get you thinking in the right direction, believer or not.. Check it before you wreck it..

There nothing wrong w weed bro, yoi doing nothing wrong. I told the miserable bitch judge who sentenced me “you act like I was moving coke or heroin! You know how much more mfin money I could have made if I didn’t have morals!!”. Doctors are way bigger drug dealers/pushers than anyone selling/growing weed.

WEED is the killer of all motivation for many and I know this Bankers, it made me lazy. I'm honestly conflicted. I know there are healing benefits though. It wasn't a gateway drug for me or my friends.

I never want to contribute to any bad habits or addictions for anyone in life. That's not what I'm all about these days. I'm not gonna be on this earth for much longer at 51 years of age now so what else is there? If you are not helping others then you are just hurting others and being selfish and trying to get yours. Good luck with that!!!!

With that being said Bankers.. I love this video below the best!! My all time favorite.. Message is great, you got a massive audience, choir and orchestra and it all comes together musically..

Lyrics are great for those that are struggling.. Keep hope alive, keep love alive!!! Life is short for all of us so make the most of it and make it count!!!

It not a gateway drug for anyone, that is just a bs myth perpetrated by the POS rooster suckers who profit off the war on drugs, have friends who own prisons and profit off housing “criminals” , easier to fill those quotas when you incarcerate folks who commit victimless crimes, and let’s not forget the pharmaceutical companies and doctors who hate drugs they don’t profit off!! . Call me crazy but imo if there not a victim it not a crime!!

Far as the laziness or lack of motivation goes sure that can happen but that a you problem not weeds problem.

Personally smoking isn’t the best for myself, I’m not very functional stoned but that doesn’t mean it the same for everyone. Different substances effect everyone differently. I enjoy smoking to watch a movie or something, if I’m drinking I enjoy mixing in a little weed cause I suppose the alcohol distorts the part of my brain weed can make paranoid or awkward feeling! Lol. My ex wife on the other hand was a intolerable pretty lazy bitch without weed, when she smoked she was much more enjoyable to be around, cleaned the house, did the everyday things one supposed to do, in her and many others cases weed does wonders!!

I feel everyone should be afforded the freedom to experiment with anything they like and figure out what works best or they enjoy. Know thyself! I can’t stand the idea the government should be “protecting” ppl from themselves by dishing out horrendous punishments for things they deem “bad”!!

Here the thing, yes weed, booze (which prob worse/more destructive than all other drugs combined! But is legal), pills, powders, whatever. All can be bad and ruin lives for some folks. In others they able to use them responsibly and they enhance their lives. Should those ppl who can
responsibly enjoy things/self medicate not be allowed because others can’t control themselves? That ain’t freedom jack!!

Well weed smoking does and can effect everyone differently.. I certainly got more creative smoking it over 25 years recreationally at night after working hard and smart in the day time. It helped with sleep and muscle recovery also. It made me lazy at night though and anti-social.. Made movie watching much better absolutely.. Gives you the patience to learn musical instruments also ..

I'm not hating on it.. I just gave it up. It's a young mans drug. To each their own..

As far as doctors are concerned some are ABSOLUTELY really just legal drug dealers. Many get new med samples to give to their patients and those doctors get compensated for it. That's the biggest drug money scam of all.

Now doctors do want to make their patients happy so they continue to prescribe addictive pain killing drugs if the patients are complaining about pain. Doctors know they are hooked on the pain killers and opioids and they just keep prescribing it to the same patients anyways.. They know it's addictive also.. That's when doctors basically become legal drug dealers.

It all stinks to high heaven. Big money in the pharmy doctor drug business for sure.
