I'd Rather Go Hungry And Not Eat Than Not Be Able To Bet. I've Gone To Bed Hungry Many A Times Just So I Can Put Money On The Yankees..

It's A Sickness Jj.. And You're Right, We Want To Lose. I Am Depressed Now Because I Lost So Much The Last 3 Weeks, But In A Way, I Am Happy, Because It Adds Flavor To My Life For Trying To Chase It Back.. If I Kept On Winning, Life Would Be Boring.. I Need This Rush..

Good Vid, Jj..

20000% Accurate.

Video was made before SBR.TV was created

PorkChop · 12-01-09, 12:31 PM

It makes it very tough to watch a game without a "play" on it. Which is sad.

Nicky Santoro · 12-01-09, 12:31 PM

damn.. not available.. fukkkkkkk.. man, do i have a great memory or what?? like i said, it was a sat aft around 4pm in july during baseball.. but no vid.. onner, you are great, i don't know how you do it..

thanks anyways..

jjgold · 12-01-09, 12:33 PM

I do not know why it is not available

onthewhat · 12-01-09, 12:34 PM

I don't think I ever saw that vid...I wasn't very active back then and only remember a few vids from that time frame. One was when jj got behind his PC and tried to show Nicky how to fix his computer, the other was when he baptized himself with a bottled water outside on his bench...

onthewhat · 12-01-09, 12:34 PM

Corbin if you remember that vid lets get a remake for SBR.TV

landers781 · 12-01-09, 12:38 PM

I slightly disagree with the OP. The reason why I gamble is I love money too much. If I lose I get pissed. Its the reason I started gambling in the first place. Was young and naive and figured it was easy cash. Then I lost. Then I tried to win that money back and lost. Then it turned into a vicious cycle for me. I am not as careless as I was back when I started. Whenever I take a break from it, I find ways to save etc.

I do agree that I am a totally cheapskate outside of gambling. Its such a pyschological mind fuk.

wow, incredible.. what my worse of all time is your favorite. i did not get it all, even though it was adressed for me.. 7 min and 34 secs of him talking chinese to me.. i did not understand 1 word he said.. i tried re watching it 34x, but failed each time. i lasted only 1 min 22 as my record.

speaking of a vid about pcs.. JJ, now i might need your help badly.. and this one i will watch. i accidentally downloaded a fukkin toolbar and now, there are these pop ups that appear every 2 min or so.. i fukkin hate it. always about lavalife, slots, dating sites, you name it..

i even tried spyware removal, put up pop up stoppers/blockers, etc.. nthing works. i know squat about computers.

JJ, maybe you should make a vid for me how to remove those fukkin ads...

GELATINOUS CUBE · 12-01-09, 12:42 PM

Yeah, i don't care about winning money. I just bet for the rush!! Lol.
Living off your profits is impossible.

Well, the gamblers are cheap thing is true. At otb, all the gentlemen always have on tan box store slacks and jackets. Most of them wear $9 velcro shoes. It's so funny, but they'll lay down 100's every day (well, usually a set amount to lose).

I disagree with the thread, but i closely study these people (and tell myself i'm somehow different from them...which maybe is true).

Sam Odom · 12-01-09, 01:00 PM

It's been said many times, money is just a tool for gamblers. If you love money you will be a losing gambler.

GELATINOUS CUBE · 12-01-09, 01:48 PM

alright then. I guess I'll quit. That's it. See you guys.

I have spent many a week living off of ramen when I had three hundred on a football game on sunday.

Sam Odom · 12-01-09, 01:56 PM

Lived in the backseat of a car on a side street in North Las Vegas while playing 1-2 poker trying to get 'back on my feet'

GELATINOUS CUBE · 12-01-09, 01:59 PM

sam.
noob ?

+EV means a bet +110, +150, +175 etc?
or it means you're ahead or in the green profit-wise.

sorry, nobody at the book's ever said '+EV'

wsop2009 contestant last night, "the online guys learn from the live players and vice-versa'

Sam Odom · 12-01-09, 02:02 PM

Cube , +EV is easier to explain for live Poker. If you have the math on your side in relation to the bet/pot ratio then you have +EV.

Google for more

(On edit) maybe dice odds is a better or easier way to understand

GELATINOUS CUBE · 12-01-09, 02:02 PM

Well, between me and you guys..

$10 jeans are made of the same crap as $300 jeans. Pretty much the bottom price stuff at box stores is the best stuff you can get. A lot of times, expensive stuff usually has been on the shelf longer.

Or guys placing $20,000 in bets on Saturday, all my rich friends are kind of slobs. Its the way to roll.

GELATINOUS CUBE · 12-01-09, 02:11 PM

ok positive expected value. Don't usually teach that, but aced stats in prep and undergrad, on prof. tests, etc.

So, you don't play - ml bets?

I figure if I'm 80% sure the Browns are gonna cover, I have +EV, even if the line is -110.

I've started playing poker too, and I'm up $37,000 online (play money).

I can figure the odds of a card or suit flopping from a 52 card deck pretty quck and I look at my overall chances from the start each time. Basically I fold almost every hand, then go all in.

I like Helmuth's strategy for poker. I've applied that stuff to sports and found it successful.

But I'm not only gonna play +115,+170, bets.

GELATINOUS CUBE · 12-01-09, 02:14 PM

no i get it sam. just verifying that's what you are talking about. i teach math p/t.

Sam Odom · 12-01-09, 02:18 PM

Cube , flipping a true coin is the best way to understand. (not sure why i didnt say this at first)

You choose or call the flip H or T. You guess right I'll give you $1.00 , guess wrong you give me 1.10. We know it is 50/50 H or T so it should be 1 dollar for 1 dollar. Therefore you are gambling at a -EV

if they did they wouldn't gamble. either they go up big or they go down hard. the one thing they won't accept is mediocrity and a life without a thrill. not many things out there give you a thrill like having 1k on 1 bet. and once you lose its ok. money isn't that important unless you have a lot of it, or a little of it. so we gamble until we have a lot or a little. because we want to do something of importance in a boring lives with no ambition or girlfriends or status in the community

This is totally false. The reason the bookies can lure so many addicted gamblers is that all the gamblers have a false belief that they will someday become rich from gambling.

The high that comes along with having a bet is there because you have the ability to win money. If there was no money on the line, there would be no high. If gamblers didn't care about money, why would they gamble? If they didn't care about money there would be no high associated with gambling because they wouldn't care if they won or lost money.

For all the gamblers I know, when they lose there is a low, some of them kill themselves. A close friend of mine killed himself over gambling losses. At work, in his truck, on the anniversary of when his mom killed herself.

It is my belief that gamblers care about money much more than the average person who does not gamble.

I think you missed the whole point of the thread buddy. Good try though. Too much info there guy.

who is fishface? Does he care about Sbr points?

FishFace5 · 12-01-09, 04:17 PM

I don't get it??

landers781 · 12-01-09, 05:49 PM

So ****in true, you are at the casino and bet 2 fukkin grand at blackjack but dont wanna spend 15 bucks for food

On the flip side though, if a gambler wins, he will treat himself to the best shit money can buy for a day

teaserpleaser · 12-01-09, 06:11 PM

nice sports ticker JJ!!! how much that bad boy set you back?

20Four7 · 12-01-09, 06:15 PM

Money is only the method of keeping score on your gambling. It has no value outside of that, UNTIL you take the money out of your gambling account and use it for something else, then it has value. I can win 2K lose 2K it's not real just a method of score keeping.
