Right now, that feels as if that's about 8 years away.

I do not work in UNITS............as I gamble in some many different ways through sportsbetting(wagers, scalps, middles, contests) plus other types of gambling is involoved other than just sportsbetting.

If you beat 500k on slots alone I would believe 13k wouldn't bother you. Just my 2 cents.

it's all relative

You are joking, right????

ANYTIME that I'm in a downside, it bothers me to some extent...............it really is more the LENGTH OF TIME THAT I REMAIN IN MY DOWNSIDE BEFORE REACHING MY CAREER GAMBLING HIGH that concerns more as much as the amount.

By the way, 13,000 is a good chunk of change to me.......having a +13,000 month would be a tremendous month for this grinder.

Keep in mind also, since 2004, I've made very little playing slots and/or video poker having lived in Florida since that time.

why dont you just work you fvcking lazy bum

PittsburghPlayer · 02-20-10, 01:10 PM

Fish, about a month ago I too was getting tired of the grind, made a thread AND sang a song about it! I do not expect you to do this but what worked for me was a cash-out, leaving enough in to satisfy my additction. I have since pissed that away and am staying out of action `til tournament time, though I do have notes and records I update daily. With my new found free time I have taken steps to better my life. Men like Hoopster42 writing encourage threads about being positive have been beneficial as well. On a side note, yesterday I had an interview as I am looking for a new job. Currently driving a tractor trailer to and from NYC every night, and working nights kinda blows...in any event, putting my time to better use. Lastly, I still find time to stop in here and keep abreast of what is going on. GL Bro`, no matter which path you choose I know you will be successful. GL and

out.

I love my gambling career.............and will eventually return to my all-time high..........after years and years in this trade, I've come to expect the swings. However, at times, I will admit it does feel like I will never recover.

I guess that is part of the enjoyment of this profession..........however sick that may sound.

Fishead does not have 500k liquid just laying around from slots. It is INVESTED with his brother in Iowa.

Correct, at least a portion of it.

Hell, I don't even have $20 laying around..........

Fishhead I feel for you, hang in there

I know you always pull through, I remember when you were down over $35,000 2 years ago in 3 weeks time and you pulled out of it.

Hang in there

sharpcat · 02-20-10, 03:07 PM

Just remember this is a marathon and as long as you are good at what you do you will rebound

Regul8er · 02-20-10, 04:11 PM

Keep your head up fish. Even if it takes 3 years to get back to all-time high. Sometimes it takes that much time, sometimes longer.

Hang in there.

fsugolf · 02-20-10, 04:16 PM

put it all on black and you'll be back in no time

durito · 02-20-10, 04:48 PM

Is that supposed to be a lot?

Do you not use kelly?

durito · 02-24-10, 03:03 PM

and Kelly is there to save us from Gambler's Ruin. of course we all know that the longer we are in the game, the longer and more pronounced the swings will be.

GL Sir

Which is exactly the point. If shitheads roll is a big as he claims and has been gambling as long as he claims, a 13k swing should be nothing. That can happen before lunch. I lost more than that sunday morning before i got up.

nobs · 02-24-10, 05:36 PM

Im not trying to be an asshole or get involved, but I do understand why people say what they say to fishhead.

Again we all go online for our own reasons, and some people like playing the big shot. I like to be an asshole to stangers who cant do shit sometimes. To each his own I guess. But honestly, anyone who cant see that fishhead is one of the most full of shit posters ever, well I just think some people are too nice. Guy is a near carbon copy of Patrick " I just won 2 million this weekend " McIrish.

By the way, still have not recovered, but recovery is just around the corner hopefully.
