I think we should start a section for problem gambling

[pico]

bad loss happens once a while, so once a while we like to bitch and complain about how gambling is ruining our lives. i think it is a good idea to start a section for problem gambling support group.

for example, thread in that section will go something like this:

Title: I am done guys

Message: This is a brutal week, i lost everything. I think i am quitting gambling for good. good bye guys, this is a great forum, best of luck to you all

and someone could reply and say something like this

Message: yeah, this week is pretty tough, i think it is a good idea to take a break and clear your head. good luck

and someone wiseass could also chime in like this

Message: you're a loser. i know you'll be making bets this weekend.



don't you think this is a good idea? reading those thread in the players area is kind of depressing.

[tacomax]

Great idea.

Also, what about a problem poster section for people who start a new thread for every thought they have throughout every single day?

[idontlikerocks]

i'm thinking about peanuts right now i don't know why....

[BigBollocks]

I like the idea Pico. 98% of the people on here are worse for the wear as a result of gambling, and it might serve as a solid wakeup call to a lot of the posters on here. I'm sure we'd hear a bunch more crazy JJ stories from his time in G.A too....

[jokerfly]

if you are a problem gambler, i think there are better boards elsewhere that would be more appropriate. these boards are very helpful for the purpose they serve, but if you have a gambling problem, i don't think a site that has advertisements trying to get you to bet is a place you should be frequenting.

[Dead Money]

SBR could make JJ a mod ( just of that section) Great idea!!

[vanman]

I gamble,it`s not a problem.

[Tchocky]

Good idea. I wasn't aware so many guys had a gambling problem.

we all have gambling problems. it is how you deal with it. some people will never make a bet...that is how they deal with it. some poeple make a bet once a while for fun. it is like a little monster inside of you, it gets bigger everytime you win, and gets upset everytime you lose...and one day it'll just consume you after a key loss where you're just feel like shit.

then you start to reflict what the hell happened. sometimes you vow to never gamble again, sometimes you think you need a better strategy. after a while, the cycle start all over again.

i think some of you know what i am talking about. i can ramble on and on about this, that is why i think there should be a seperate section, so other posters won't feel depressed reading the player's section.

I wasn't trying to make light of this issue. I know gambling addiction can be a real destructive force for many. You're absolutely right about everything you said.

thanks. because not everyone will have a good week, i remember usually sunday night or monday everyweek there will be bunch of thread talking about how certain 4th quarter that ****ed them over now they're quit gambling. if i just had a great weekend, i don't really want to see these kind of depressing threads. i think player's area is better off with upbeat threads. but you can't force people not to post about their bad streak. so yeah, so i think bitch and complain in an area where those who really give it a shit is a pretty good idea.

No problem gambling just click refresh lines at pinny too much and get your ip address blocked.

[SBR Lou]

Excellent idea. The traffic of the forum might suffer, while we all have degenerate qualities and rough spots, most guys who seriously bury themselves by week 4 quit for a while. Unless they're the kind who start using rent money or mugging old ladies.

[jjgold]

I do not beleive I have a gambling problem.

[BEANTOWNJIM]

Happy Boy why would he do that when he can live with his parents in Newark for free?

Its a good idea, great idea. We would need a mod or someone who is an expert or at least has some training with dealing with problem gamblers.

[BEANTOWNJIM]

See John I Can Handle That Section I Am Really Nice When I Want To Be So Let Me Be The Moderator In Charge Of Deadbeat Losers Maybe I Can Straighten Them Out.

[Dark Horse]

Even though I'm into the straightforward approach - if you don't want to gamble, put your mind on something more interesting-, and not into ten-step boogies or psychoanalysis, you can't be serious about leaving stuff of that magnitude to a forum moderator.

i think i am up for the task if my only job is to move thread to that section once a week.

[20Four7]

I'm Canadian so I have no problem gambling. I've had locals, racetracks and now on line to get my fix. Just don't give me another beer cuz I did give that up.
