The Shrink: why did he off himself? his wife?

"Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?"
1 Corinthians 3:16

your point is? i am not being critical, and as a Christian partial to the NEW TESTAMENT. I just don't see the connection.

This is traditionally read as a prohibition against suicide.

I read it as a prohibition against the obese.

my theory based on everything i've read on message boards and this is my FINAL thought on the matter:

the Shrink was a degenerate bettor just like the majority of sports bettors are. he lost a lot more money than he ever made and in the end, he owed way too much money to way too many people/books and could NEVER pay it all off, had no equity in his home and NO OTHER real assets and knew EOG was not worth much, so instead of having to accept a "poor" living lifestyle and lose whatever he had, he convinced his wife (who was probably not willing to live poor either) that this was the only way to go. my suspicions are that he thought of suicide many many times over the yrs. his "money talks" win in vegas was just one lucky run but at the end of the day he was a losing bettor who had a serious gambling problem. instead of using only cash to bet he bet on CREDIT for many many yrs and the balance owed kept growing. he kept chasing and chasing and the debt kept growing and growing. in the end, the Shrink was no different than your average every day losing gambler. he just lost much BIGGER than the avg gambler because books were willing to extend him credit. the only other difference was that he had a name because of what he did as a pioneer w/sports gambling message boards. besides those 2 things, he was just a degenerate losing gambler and his ending is very sad. people should learn from this. i know i have.

the end.

HE LOVED HIS ACTION. i WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO EOG.

You know a lot of you are overlooking the simplest answer. Depression is an illness and maybe he just had enough of it and it was time to go. Perhaps he suffered through it his whole life and he finally let it get the best of him.

[Fishhead]

Still think he is alive.......all of us have our theories.

[hoopster42]

if The Shrink is still alive, this is GENIUS LEVEL shit on his part. gotta be so hard to fake a death in this day and age
