    Let's face it, most people lose. Be it a few dollars or many dollars

    is it because of the Action ?

    Looking to get back what you lost before ?

    or you just KNOW that you can turn it around ?

    Something else ?

    It is because we are bored with our lives and gambling gives us that excitement to push through

    False temporary relief of the depression Tony

    This good enough for you man?

        if drinking makes you sad/angry then why continue?

        same with gambling, it's an addiction and losers have a subconscious desire to hit rock bottom because of self-esteem issues

                  For some people gambling is a drug, they pay for their action to get their fix - its no different than paying for cigarettes or any other drug - they don't gamble to win, they gamble to feel a certain way.

                    IT gets even worse when you try and mask it with a girlfriend.

                    Now you gotta gamble to fill that void, and the girlfriend wants attention, but you need to get those losses back.

                    So now not only are you losing your ass betting, you got a whiny ass broad texting at a critical moment in the game.

                    IT IS ALL BAD

                      Happened the other night. Late night action in Japan.

                      Had Flashscore loaded up on my phone staring at the scoreboard.

                      Needed this last goal to save my day.

                      FOCUSED ON THE SCOREBOARD COUNTING DOWN EVERY SECOND.

                      Then the text pops up, "when are we going to spend time?"

                      IDK, when I WIN A FUCKIN BET!!!!

                      Texts like that at critical moments make me never want to talk to the broad ever again.

                      Lots can relate but won't admit it.

                          For me....I thought I would be great at it because sports was my life growing up. I thought I had the inside edge because I played/watched it and “knew” it so much.

                          Turned out I was wrong and even though I had a hot streak here and there, I was by far more of a loser than a winner.

                          Luckily I was not addicted and could step away. I still love to gamble, but it’s on a limited basis and not with serious money.

                            Hobby, Just like other people spend money on skiing, hunting etc ....Nothing better to be inside a casino at the sports bar with your gambling friends with an adult beverage watching football/ horses looking outside at the snow coming down..... wondering how your other buddies are enjoying camping out while hunting.......

                                  I became addicted
                                  I stepped away. Now play poker and go to casino sometimes. But not daily. It can be done

                                    gambling mind set. Yea i'm down 100,000 all time, but this time it will be different. This time I have a new strategy and how I'm going to win.....

                                    BOOM deposit 500 and turn it into 4k and again in your mind you keep saying see I can do this, I can win. Withdraw $1500. See that's smart that's how you do it. Keep 2500 and you know you can turn 2500 into 10k.

                                    BOOM....lose the 2500 b/c now you are back to betting stupid then you get your $1500 from the withdraw and deposit $1000 of it.

                                    BOOM, lose that $1,000 in 3 hours and then sit there all depressed b/c you had money coming and money in account and you lost all of that.

                                    Wait a few days knowing you can reload and reset your mind. I can do this, new strategy, let's not bet stupid, stick to strategy.

                                    rinse and repeat

                                            It is simple. Do you want to spend thousands on some women that after you give her everything for years wants your house, car, everything in your pockets, your fukin dog or do you want to bet that money having a chance to double your money? Pretty fukin simple answer if you ask me. Let's go

                                                How many of you dump hundreds, thousands into the book and don't think ANYTHING of it. It is NORMAL

                                                But when the $4.67 Uber ride, or the $9.99 Netflix charge show up on the credit card it just has ya cringing.

                                                      How many of you dump hundreds, thousands into the book and don't think ANYTHING of it. It is NORMAL

                                                      But when the $4.67 Uber ride, or the $9.99 Netflix charge show up on the credit card it just has ya cringing.

                                                          Had Flashscore loaded up on my phone staring at the scoreboard.

                                                          Needed this last goal to save my day.

                                                          FOCUSED ON THE SCOREBOARD COUNTING DOWN EVERY SECOND.

                                                          Then the text pops up, "when are we going to spend time?"

                                                          IDK, when I WIN A FUCKIN BET!!!!

                                                          Texts like that at critical moments make me never want to talk to the broad ever again.

                                                          Lots can relate but won't admit it.
                                                          For me it's booze and blow, with a little gambling on the side.

                                                          It's like my dog. She doesn't want to play fetch or chase the ball at all from the couch. Watch 4 shows.

                                                          The God damn second Game of Thrones Final comes up she is growling, scratching, giving me her ball and wanting to rough house and play.

The second we crack beers (different days , different times), she's up his fuggin ass. It really is incredible.
