Brock Landers - based on your experience from life

[diamond]

If you found out that your son after turning legal age, betting "heavy amounts" on sports (like a dime or so). Would you prevent him from doing so? What would you do?

You have experienced the ups and downs of this business, so could you see your son being a gambler or would you do everything in your power to prevent him from becoming one?

[Brock Landers]

Good question, will start thinking about it in 10 years.

[diamond]

I think its quite relevant, not only for you but most of us guys that is having a child or getting one.

[flyingillini]

Brock would you prefer your son to do yayo a few nights a week or be into the bookmakers for large #s weekly?

Some hot twat

[pavyracer]

Brock will give him the money to pay his gambling debts and have him deliver pizzas at night to pay him back.

[minet123]

strange questions

[diamond]

Not strange, you should be suprised how much you are influenced by the environment around you.

Dude what's up with the pizza crap....If Brock got stuck and did pizza at night I dont see that as a negative....He is willing to work to pay back that's 100% better than being a stiff. Enough with the pizza

[diamond]

True Konck, its good his paying his debt.

But you are aware that thanks to him and other stiffs at CreditWagering, people like you will suffer on CW?

[Tree Rollins]

A man with a true gambling problem might let his son gamble, maybe even encourage him, in hopes that he would hit it big. What's better to gamble on then your own son?

not gunna happen

Do like i say, not like i do.

[Tree Rollins]

not gunna happen

Do like i say, not like i do.

Lol. That's what my dad always told me. Unfortunately, i feel like i learned more from example.

I was just kidding about you supporting him though. I don't know you well, but from what i know you're a smart guy, and a good guy. I'm sure you'll raise your son well.

[THE PROFIT]

My dad was a degenerate gambler, now he doesn't gamble anymore but does it vicariously through me. Every time he calls or I go visit that's the first thing he asks about. "How's the games goin', son?"

[diamond]

How do you feel about that Profit?

[THE PROFIT]

fine, I guess. It's something he enjoyed, but now we talk about the games & he can still get some kind of thrill from it by rooting for me to win. My dad got me into gambling, he helped me run parlay cards when I was in my early 20's. I would be rich right now if I had just faded him all these years. He's like Brandon Lang x 10.

[diamond]

Lol, good description, yet a bit sad though But has his capping improved? I know he dont bet, but from his advice and so on.

[THE PROFIT]

Fuk no. He doesnt cap, I told you he was a degenerate gambler!!! he uses his gut feelin', I've always tried to tell him it was just indigestion or gas

[diamond]

Yes I know he doesnt, was just wondering if was able to pick a winner at all by saying to you. But what have you learned from it? I guess just picking parlays is no good, would rather stick to straight bets.

[Brock Landers]

Great fukkin thread!

[THE PROFIT]

I think Diamond is readin too much into this. Some of my best memories from childhood is my dad drunk cussin' the steelers & throwin' shit at the TV

[diamond]

Could be - just sounds sad, but if you experienced it otherwise, good for you.

Have you ever told a joke in your life?

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

whats this about?

[RealSlimShady]

Just put your son on your sheet, Brock and get a % back on his losses. Like JJold did with his son, Jeffrey.

[jjgold]

Brock would you prefer your son to do yayo a few nights a week or be into the bookmakers for large #s weekly?

I say yayo a few days a week

[diamond]

whats this about?

Nothing, Brock stiffed Creditwagering.

[in2thethickofit]

Addictions happen to run in my family. As far as I know, I am the only one who gambles sports. But, I have a son who is turning 21 in a few months and he can't wait to go to the casino, talks about it all the time. I love casinos and find it hard to tell him NOT to go...this is a real dilemma for me. Not sure what to do about it.

Two key word to teach your children no matter if you are breeding them to be gambling gurus or panhandlers "money management"

[wal66]

Good question, will start thinking about it in 10 years.

Brock, this flip response while maybe intended to be just that, flip is a prime example of what is wrong with today's youth and more importantly the family core values.

Everyone always seems to be putting off for tomorrow what needs to be learned today. Taking time out to sit down and actually talk about life and real issues with our youth could actually do them some good. Certainly won't reach all of them but if even a few learn something valuable that can spare them from learning the hard way like we did then it's worth the effort.

Too many parents are just too damn selfish to take the time and put in the effort to take part in being RESPONSIBLE for how their children turn out. It's like they aren't done being kids themselves yet in order to raise the kids they have.

Not saying this is your case Brock, you were probably just trying to be funny but the truth is there are those who do what you said and that's tragic.

[milwaukee mike]

wal you make a decent point

many people that play in poker home games/etc think their kids are fine only to find out their 12 year old is playing poker for $200 buyin at lunch time...

[THE PROFIT]

This is why I have opted to just not have kids at this point. I have hard enough time being responsible for myself
