    you got ripped at GA? i would tell them to place more bets to get happy

    i chose this life but my dad bet horses and went to casinos so I was around that a lot. he also ran a football pool at work which i participated in as a kid. that really started my interest in spreads and teams covering.

    No, that's a Kaballah/Chabad heresy according to Orthodox Jews, Christians and Muslims.

    I was lured by the promise of a better life, 3 car garage home and vacation properties with a side piece included with each one.

    What I got was a makeshift closet and a mattress. Forced to ingest narcotics and perform sexual favors all day everyday. That was fine until they made me start gambling.

    Small at first, now I can't do anything without at least a few bets on any game at all times of the day

    I don't regret it.

    Keeps one exercising the mind; possibly warding off any cognitive decline. (Uncle Joe B)

    Something to look forward to, every day.

    Watching games is very stressful. (I'd rather just see the score the next day or that night.)

    It seems to make people superstitious.

    My friends' teams can have a 6 run lead in the 9th (I know that just happened) or a 14pt lead, with the ball, at the two minute warning...and not relax.

    How many endeavors can one work at one's own pace--work with numbers--enjoys sports, and, (as long as adhering to the 1 percent rule), be OK.

    Tough to shake the stereotypes, though. A guy puts a suit on and works down town and is a reputable "speculator" or "analyst."

    good post roscoe. i can tell very few women i like to gamble without them assuming i am a loser or a guy who can't manage money. of course, if they gamble themselves then the response is a lot different. i mean the regular girl walking around who knows nothing about gambling and thinks it is this poisonous entity to never touch.

    Not really. When I first started betting I was making 500-1000 most days selling weed. I was barely 21 and had fukk loads of cash and was stupid about it. I started betting during the playoffs. I went 9-1, no joke. If I would of lost that first time I would of never bet again.

    JJ, I am actually appalled at your behavior last night on zoom. Frank was just trying to be friendly to you and he set you off. That kind of behavior will not be tolerated again. You are a liked person with the others and you contribute but it won't happen again. God Bless you and your plays from 8/2-8/3.

    yes Illini, RIP Dad.

    Concerning the zoom meetings, are these still monthly sessions?

    There is no need for JJ to fly off the handle like that.

    Guy wears a suit and a tie gets 20% return on deposit he is a genius. Gambler does it he is a lucky degenerate.

    Let me guess; you were pissed off because you took the Over 14.5 people at the meeting and lost by the hook?

    JJ, be honest.
    The second the meeting let out you went straight to the OTB office and bet a few ponies, didn't you?
