    It's hard to be a gambler around non-gamblers

    Rutgirls vs. Va Tech

    "Mary": Did you bet on this game?

    Me:Yes

    Mary:Who do you have?

    Me: (Reluctantly)Rutgers

    Mary:You've won then!

    Me:What?

    Mary:It's the 4th quarter and they're up 10-0!

    Me: Did you really just say that?

    Mary:Should I not have?

    Me:

    I just hate the questions when they are interested in learning, so easy yet so hard for them to grasp.

    Was talking with my uncle over the holidays when the topic of my cousin who plays poker for a living was brought up. He's basically been outcast because of his "gambling problem". Was going to give him a lesson about bank roll management and how gambling isn't a bad thing when controlled and moderated but then came to my senses and thought why even try.

    Normal people don't get us, it's why we are all drawn to here where we can relate somewhat with others.

    Trying to explain what a spread is and how it works is definitely annoying. Explaining money lines are a pain as well. It almost feels like ppl try NOT to understand.

    Another problem is staying calm in a social setting when you have action. Your checking ur phone and ur lock just threw an int on their own 15 to probably screw you out of a much needed win and someone comments on ur shirt and wants to know where u got it

    We are a different breed.

    Non gamblers look at us like we are aliens.

    I feel ya. A client of mine who's mega-rich invited us to a damn fireworks display he's putting on at his house tomorrow night. Fukker spends about 20k on these fireworks. It's totally awesome.

    Unfortunately, the dipshit is starting his party at 7:30 tomorrow nite, exactly when the Dallas/Wash game is starting. Dammit....hate that we're gonna miss those fireworks. But I'll be damned if I'm goin to have to explain to some rich prikk in triple pleated sport slacks what a "first half total" is!!

    Why would anyone in the dallas area schedule something at the same time as the cowboys "win or go home" game?? 2 of my favorite teams going at it, should be fun. My son's favorite team is the redskins (even over the packers ugh) and i told him opie's gonna be mad if the skins win.
