...as the elder statesman here I feel an obligation to give back to the gambling community- You name it, i've been through it. As a bookmaker for 25+ years in 3 major metroploitian cities and former president of a Labor Union for 13 years for a major Airline's workers (Mechanics, ticket agents and Ramp) I know it all....and I travel for free. And I've been everywhere and done everything.. One week i'm betting trotters at Hipòdrom Son Pardo, the next I might be betting on Muay Thai in Manilla and the next i'll be painting a picture in a condo in Instabul. There are things I know, that many of you don't, I graduated magna cam laude from the school of hard knocks and i'm ready to share and discuss thing that will help you all out.
Lesson 1: Girls don't like gamblers, sure you might get some mentally challenged crap, but real good women do not like talking about your bets. Its really boring to them. As a youth (17 years old) I had a one track mind, I went to the track everyday, I was a one demensional person and I wondered why I wasn't getting the quality pussy that my older brothers were getting- it was because I was boring. I would talk endlessly about horses losing by a nose, why I picked one horse over another and why the Cubs were gonna lose that day.. Nobody cares guys
A well rounded person does a variety of things and has a variety of interests and experiences- Everyday for a few hours you need to put down the racing form, dog track program and sports stat sheets and get out and do something completely different.
