If u had 1 do-over in life, what would it be?

Sam Odom · 12-09-09, 03:04 PM

Never have drank alcohol of any sort

jellobiafra · 12-09-09, 03:05 PM

I wouldn't have killed that bitch.

I enjoy my alcohol if I didn't chain smoke along with it

rm18 · 12-09-09, 03:07 PM

i would of skipped school and started gambling earlier

buztah · 12-09-09, 03:11 PM

I would have gone all in on internet penny stocks back in the 90s.

Capybara · 12-09-09, 03:12 PM

Paco, solid thread, good work.

I would have stayed with and married a certain girl -- she loved me and was a great catch, but I thought it wasn't quite right and figured there'd be other, better girls for me -- incorrect. I f--ked that one up bad. She's married to some other a-hole now. Prob even has a kid by now.

Ditto, this is a good one.

TomDwan · 12-09-09, 03:14 PM

If I could change one thing, I would have started tailing enogsiwon's picks earlier, the guy is ranked #5 out of 704 people in BTP. Wow....

Sam Odom · 12-09-09, 03:17 PM

paco , I still drink today and enjoy it but overall its been -EV in my life

Raz, even a lousy 10k investment back then could have netted you tens of millions. Unreal opportunity. Such a shame but I missed the gravy train back then.

Willie Bee · 12-09-09, 03:21 PM

I'd have called the ambulance 10 minutes before my best friend had the heart attack that killed him. That was 13 years, seven months and 21 days ago, and not a day has gone by that I haven't missed having him around.

Agreed Buzzy, it was arguably the greatest investment chance this century. Shame I was too young and not well versed in stocks at the time to take advantage. It was essentially a lotto ticket for those who did invest.

Shahbucks · 12-09-09, 03:24 PM

I would have got good grades in high school and not take advantage of being a athlete.

W0lfy · 12-09-09, 03:27 PM

I would go with the bobcats instead of nuggets

sickler · 12-09-09, 03:31 PM

I would have stayed away from bad influences.

...or maybe I was the bad influence.

LLXC · 12-09-09, 03:33 PM

Would have attended classes, and tried in school.

THEGREAT30 · 12-09-09, 03:39 PM

Never had sex, never smoked a blunt or gotten drunk, never started gambling, never cursed, never been in places where prostitution was going on, never seen someone shoot heroine in my face, never potentially committed blasphemy. Seams like a lot but it really is only 1 thing, I would have simply been a better person.

GJMike · 12-09-09, 03:43 PM

I would have started a Sportsbook Review site....

DwightShrute · 12-09-09, 03:49 PM

wish I held on 1000 shares for another 2.5 weeks!

Bought them for $1 a share and sat on them for 3 years, sold them at $4.30 a share but less than 3 weeks later, $96 a share

When I was in my 20's I owned a few Harness horses I had a chance to buy a horse called Mud Hole for 8k a young 3yr trotter my trainer looked at him and said ....Looks small chested and I really dont like his legs a pass here is good. One of the stable hands begged me to buy him for 8k saying some how ill get half and buy half I'll take care of the horse everyday myself he will be a champ someday. Again I decided after thinking it over a long time not to buy...Mud Hole goes on to win a 650 k race at the Meadowlands wins over a million lifetime and that year I lost half my money in the penny stock market which crashed. I would love a mulligan there

SpiderMonkey · 12-09-09, 04:07 PM

I would have recognized when I was prop'd for a 3-some [2 chicks FYI] -
Instead I thought my girlfriend at the time was just swinging by the house with her friend to say "hello". -- Real cool when she told my friends about it 2 years later.

GELATINOUS CUBE · 12-09-09, 04:11 PM

I would have dropped out of school and started slanging coke at 15. Then, damn only 1?? Well instead I would have bet huge on almost all of the winning horses in the last decade.

Deuce · 12-09-09, 04:14 PM

I yam what I yam.

FreeFall · 12-09-09, 04:18 PM

absolutely nothing. I have no regrets of anything I've done up to this point in my life.

YES unfortunately

I still made $$ but **** man!

GELATINOUS CUBE · 12-09-09, 04:28 PM

SpiderMonkey, I chickened out a couple times as a kid when I could've got laid. DOH.

minet123 · 12-09-09, 05:40 PM

I would have taken Villanova that night in 85 instead of all in on Georgetown

seaborneq · 12-09-09, 06:42 PM

I would have enjoyed being single longer, and I would not have taken dating so seriously. Other than that life has been great.

Cougar Bait · 12-09-09, 06:49 PM

I would have stayed in the acting business and not done so much mescaline.

paco · 12-10-09, 08:34 AM

Good stuff guys. I live a pretty crazy wild life but, I am happy to say I don't regret much. Yes, wouldve been nice to have a nice 6 figure salary but o well....Fvck it

wal66 · 12-10-09, 09:21 AM

Paco, great thread. Sad thread but still a great thead. I tried to answer but the trut is there are too many things I would have done differently at different points in my life. I am a decent enough person but that doesn't mean I don't have regrets. Not often a thread can make you step back and reflect and look at the totaility of ones life. I have always been a do-over type of person. If something got old I started something different. If something didn't work out I tried something else. Unfortunately none of us get a do over in life and that completely sucks.

I applaude those that took the time to reflect and were able to isolate one moment in time they would go back and change. I applaude both your honesty and your ability to focus on that one thing that could have changed your life foever.

Paco most of all I applaude you. You managed to start a thread that enables one to really see the depth of some of the posters here. Many try and ultimately fail because we tend to not take life seriously but to this point this thread deserves a nomination for it's originator and the responders as well.

paco · 12-10-09, 09:45 AM

Thx Wal

The Seer · 12-10-09, 10:25 AM

I would have dumped every penny I could find on Buster Douglas.
