    Would you still gamble if Money became like bet points?

    Like money still existed but had no value?

    Obviously not but my understanding is that 90% of posters here gamble ONLY with betpoints because they have no money.

    This thread makes no sense. If money has no value betting wouldn't by betting either.

    When the points mattered here i used to just like to see if i can get my $100 back in Gift cards. Not a huge deal with how much i bet but was a challenge i gave to myself. The best time was the BTP but once that left it got harder.

    Well. That's what I was thinking. I deposited $100 in early December and ran it up to $400. Haven't redeposited in a month. Put $50 all on $1 futures then bet $5 on all NFl and soccer games played a week ahead of time. Problem is when bets get graded it gets the urge to go all in with available balance. I got no plans to cash out just need a constant bankroll to bet

    and thats how you do it every one period but take out some cash for your self go buy something you want

    i dont use online accounts i like live betteing get ticket cash in after game is over decide what to do late games

    one thing i miss is reverse betting we had with locals like this Cowboys - 3 Bengals +3 then bengals + 3 cowboys - 3 $100 bet wins $400

    a split you lose vig get nothing back

    Actually it was not chest hair . Look at it very carefully . It was the shape of a Buffalo Head. My inflatable brother was a Superhero . Water Buffalo Man. I was Goat Boy. Together we fought crime and grazed in a lot of farmers fields.
