Not a degenerate gambler, but maybe a bad drinking gambler....

****First off sorry about the big C's in my post... Keyboard has done fukked up and I have to Copy and paste all of my C's right now....I know! ...pathetiC!...hehe...Anywhooo*****

Woke up this morning up around 300 dollars... This may be nothing (money- wise) to some here and it wasn't really muCh to me but it was a potential medium payday (average win/loss at end of week is usually around 1000-2000) . I go through a loCal when not betting offshore and have to pay out or ColleCt on Tues and I should have quit but I got into drinking and phoning in games that I knew nothing about...NFL to me is like asro physiCs to a retard.... I do not follow and do not want to...I dont even Care that muCh for pros save the Steelers who I even bet against tonite....

Now I won't argue my abilities as a NCAAF Capper (I know where that gets you here on this forum), but my passion is College football and I study it well... I love studying teams and ConferenCes and angles and spreads and this passion and vigilant study keeps me in the game (though I wont argue its profitable in the long run for me or anyone)... Bluntly, I think I'm good enough to not go broke and have a good time playing fall Saturday games, taking the ups and the downs and being ok with the winning and losing....

But today I fukked up.... I thought my 300 could be turned into more... Easy to phone in a random bet,, and easy to chase it when it loses....EspeCially when you're drunk.... Boozing with friends in town and not worrying about whats going on with the games... +300 turned into -875 in one day with 40-60 dollar bets (a feww 110 bets).....

Its happened before but not this bad.... 875 wont hurt me at all (but the statistis are maddening...What if I had been up 20 G's and had bet the same way?? There are times when I have this kind of money to spare, and yet Cant afford to lose) and yet the guilt I feel now is real!! Im a pretty heavy drinker (on the weekends) and am the type of drunk who tries to take over the world when getting on with one too many drinks.... Thus stupid bets and money thrown away.....

Good College Capper with very little disCipline asks in all honesty...Is it time for me to quit for good????

I hope Bread reads this.

[Shortstop]

Why is it that intoxicated placed wagers seldom win?

[Robyn]

Because they are often greedy picks or decided on a coin toss.

[awhitejackson]

Oh Robyn I hope Bread has some sympathy....Did you mean he was going to rip me for whining, or that he needed to get the point of it all???? Either way I'm game........

I make all my bets then start drinking..... after drinking no more bets...... I liked pittsburgh but didn't want my drinking to make a play I shouldn't make so I drank some more and watched the game. Drink or gamble but rarely do both mix well. BTW coke and gambling do mix well but that's a different thread.

I love drinking and gambling. Love it.

I end up either having the best day ever, or I snap my phone in half. You gotta love the potential swing of sleeping with a smile or ending up in a hospital/prison.
