Guys quit enabling Brock

pavyracer · 05-26-10, 09:49 AM

Brock just stop the nonsense with RB plays. You were on top of the world at 90%. Now after 3 weeks you are down to 78%. Can you see the writing on the wall?

Brock Landers · 05-26-10, 09:49 AM

it was followed up by this a WEEK later!

LOL... Just saying he obviously knows the pros and cons of gambling. If his wife who I'm sure he has known longer then anyone here can't encourage him to stop. For us to keep to keep telling him over and over expecting different results is literally the definition of insanity.

This whole thing is very sad. I hope at some point a few people start to realise that there is an actual person posting here and not just some jackass hiding behind a username and an avatar. Because honestly, I think some of the guys here just don't get it. Trust me, I'm not an idealistic hippie who thinks love makes the world go round and solves all our problems but I am a person who truly believes if we have a chance to help someone out when they need it, then we're assholes if we don't at least try. Encouraging this man to gamble is essentially poisoning not only him, but more importantly his family who are innocent in this whole thing. Would these people telling him to brush it off and keep gambling say the same thing if they were looking at him in the eye, or even worse have the balls to say to his children that they're telling their daddy to keep pissing money away when he has a problem, or is it all ok because we're all hiding behind computer screens? Just because someone's not plunging his syringe full of heroin, that doesn't make what happens around here any more acceptable.

Nothing personal, but that is the gayest comment in the world. I had an ex who would say that all the time, the phrase makes no sense whatsoever to me. You're telling me that if you are say 24 and have been dating a girl for 5 years and are about to get married and she all of a sudden dies from a heart attack the day of the wedding, this all happened for a reason as you put it? I don't mean to lash out on you personally, its just I can't stand this phrase and it makes no sense to me.

Just gotta think of the big picture. Maybe since you didn't marry her it made way for something else later in your life. Maybe after ten years you would have divorced her and wished she was dead. Metaphorically speaking

I respect everyones view even if I don't agree with it and many hold the same view you do. Its just that when something terrible happens, 9/11, a child dying from any disease, etc. this phrase just makes no sense to me at all.

Well said Shari, but keep in mind the majority on this board reading this thread are probably under the age of 22, 23 and have not moved into the real world yet and have no clue the impact gambling can have on oneself and their loved ones.

excel · 05-26-10, 10:04 AM

All results of actions... Sometimes the reason things are happening won't be a for a fairy tale ending.

Yep, you're right. It would be great if there was a 'been there, done that' meter before people were allowed to post in certain threads. Because anyone who has been gambling for any length of time can understand what's going on, whether they only post rambling math equations or solely in PT. No one sits there at 4 years old in Kindergarten and says they want to be a gambler when their teacher asks them what they want to be when they grow up. It's just a matter of how efficient you become at it when you finally dive in. And usually the path to becoming successful at this is through at least one bout of adversity.

JJ always says brock lost 90,000.00 dollars at one point.

I seen him make a video with his family members and not swear even once. Also there was a video of him with a couple of hotties........ he was trying to get in their pants and on his best behavior.

The only ones suffering in this ordeal are the innocent. Here is a family man who should have been a role model for his children but instead he is the poster child of creditwagering stiffs.

How much of this do you think is real? Do you think there is any exageration or streetching the truth going on?

as real as a heart attack

I understand the desire to gamble but I don't understand the desire to bring others down with you, especially innocent children. It's just wrong and everyone on this forum knows that. Put the money in a trust fund for them, they'll love you for that...step up and be the father your children will respect. Never heard a kid respect a father who has rubber band plays...just never heard that.

So you lose 90K and you get a loan from pops which you have to pay off by delivering pizzas at night after coming back from work. Wouldn't it be better if you didn't owe any money and spend more time with your son?
