    What’s your favorite gambler stereotype?

    Untrustworthy?
    Lives in moms basement
    Broke
    Unhealthy
    disowned by family

    or is it like a Bovada ad...

    Just like anything else in life, most ppl in life remain in control, while a small percentage do not.

    From alcohol all the way to eating.

    Gambling is no different.

    Unfortunately some bad perceptions exist about gamblers.

    Out of your list, I'd say i dislike 'untrustworthy' the most.

    It says in the bible gambling is bad

    I think it's the story where the Roman soldiers rolled dice made of animal ankle bones to see who won Jesus' clothes

    We are sinners bound for Hades, let's not kid ourselves

    Stress and lack of sleep aren’t good for weight loss. Most gamblers drink. Also sitting at the poker or blackjack table and watching games for hours on end isn’t exactly great cardio.

    A gambler who either gets ticked off easily or someone who can laugh at their losses.

    I personally like the guy who is flush with cash but bets nothing over $10

    One of my best pals is loaded. Works downtown, and instead of paying $200 a month to park, he bets a five horse tribox every day for $6, gets a couple $2 beers and gets his parking validated

    Same price as paying to park with a chance to win. Lol

    I like the guys at the track. Paycheck in their pocket, betting every race, screaming at their horse, talking to themselves, throwing the program when they lose, lmao! "YOU GOT A LOTTA HORSE! GIVE HIM THE WHIP EDDIE!"
