JJ,Brock,Ricjkas,BTJ/Nickey Do we do these 20-somethings a disservice

[minet123]

Or do they need to find out on there own
Know one could tell me at 23
On top of the world by 25
and barreled-in at 30 with a $100 a day manteca habit to "boot"
Than tormented by those 12 step weirdos for 5 years
than waking up one day and realizing that you can learn self control
(They don't tell people with an over-eating problem to stop eating)
You can go down to N Philly every now and than and get a bag and not go back the next day
You can Pick your spots for the 10 dime ML dog and spend the rest of the time scalping and and small "bean" wagers
You can go to the track with 2 twenty's and have a great time
THAT YOU DON"T HAVE TO CHASE IF YOU PRACTICE STRICT MONEY MANAGEMENT
Do we have that responsibility to share our experience or why bother they won't listen
I didn't at that age

I'm trying to learn self-control, any tips?

And no you are not doing any of us a disservice, as the great brock landers once said, "no one is putting a gun to my head." I think that applies to all of us.

[Brock Landers]

Nothing to it, but to do it. Can't tell anyone else how to live their lives, like talking to a wall

[The Seer]

most of them won't listen anyway. They will have to experience it the hard way.

read posts 4 and 6 and then look back over Sammy's posts since December of 09 and tell me if kids here will "listen" to advice

[SamsNCharge99]

i would 100% do that again

My family taught me all those values,teachers have not taught crap to anyone since the teachers unions destroyed the profession.I also learned how to wager on sporting events from my family, I came HERE and learned about the Pinnacles and matchbook and betfairs

[jjgold]

These young guys are smart, I post a lot tat you cannot win betting sports and to be careful.

I never give up though

Bet within your means

Providing personal experiences can't be a bad thing. While most will not appreciate it there is always that chance that at least one will see something that someone else has been through that relates to where they are at and maybe, just maybe be something they can bennefit from.

Telling them what they are doing wrong or bashing them for the mistakes they are making won't do any good because the natural response is to reject, ignore or rebel, but providing life experiences and letting them get from it what they will can not be bad.

I learned more from my family and coaches in the first 15 years of my life then anyone could teach me the rest of my life...... it may not be specific to a subject area, like is Sportsbook.com better than bookmaker? but the core values will transfer believe me, to ALL areas.....such as gambling, but if you DON'T want to learn.... NO ONE NO ONE NO ONE can teach you....

[Richkas]

Let them learn on their own. They wont listen anyway. I have a 22 yo and a 18yo and put up with the know it all shit everyday. Finally I said phuck it and let them learn the hard way.

[Chi_archie]

Richie has done more for the anti-gambling movement than just about anyone.....

shit, who can say they've watched a Richkas video and not coming away.....

SHAKING THEIR HEAD SAYING I GOTTA QUIT FUKING GAMBLING RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!
