congrats domer

You mind revealing anything about how you have done it? Do you make a large amount of plays per year or not quite as many but very large bets on certain games?

Do you scalp and middle, or mostly just handicap games?

Killer_Demo · 08-21-10, 03:47 PM

i'm a rec gambler...i make 4-5 bets max a month...just when i see a game that really stands out to me

Somewhere in the middle of recreational and compulsive. Haven't bet more than I can afford to lose in quite some time, but I am very reckless and have little to no bankroll management. Wouldn't quite say I couldn't stop gambling if I wanted to, but I have never taken a day off when I have money in an online acct.

You don't deposit money you can't afford to lose after losing a bankroll or a big bet when you use poor bankroll management?

I'm find it interesting that you see money differently when its in a gambling account as opposed to a bank account etc.

Well ya see I actually don't deposit money at all, with the exception of a one tme deposit made to go pro, and I'll be making a deposit for Beat The Prick sometime soon as well. My poor bankroll management is usually with money from FP's and contests.

can't really be both. Do you bet more money than you can afford to lose? If so you are compulsive imo. If you only bet money you can afford to lose then your just a recreational player.

Recreational Gambler

tanner40 · 08-21-10, 06:16 PM

Recreational. But I am an SBR Pro

stealthyburrito · 08-21-10, 06:20 PM

recreationally, have not been placing many wagers lately and don't really feel like doing so much right now.

Cuse0323 · 08-21-10, 06:24 PM

Compulsive, if I have money in my accounts, I have to make a play regardless if I really like a play or not.

aca · 08-21-10, 10:10 PM

Rec here, but attempt to be semi pro!

paco · 08-21-10, 10:15 PM

Recreational.

Woulda tried to go Pro if i was still single. But i have a family, and will just keep it Recreational.

eidolon · 08-21-10, 11:03 PM

I'm a pro gambler...I make 50 dollars a month

OmgUrMom · 08-22-10, 03:21 PM

Interesting results so far. Somewhat close to what I projected (75%-80% rec, 15%-20% compulsive, 5% pro)

GELATINOUS CUBE · 08-22-10, 04:09 PM

pro.

INVEGA MAN · 08-22-10, 04:17 PM

katstale · 08-22-10, 05:34 PM

SBRJohn told me I was a pro. I didn't know til he told me.

tinfoil paradise · 08-22-10, 05:41 PM

A recreational gambler who is compulsive and envisions himself as a pro.

MJT1212 · 08-22-10, 05:53 PM

flyingillini · 08-22-10, 08:39 PM

I am a rec player, always have been and will continue to be that way. I have no desire to be anything more.

Mr KLC · 08-22-10, 08:56 PM

Recreational for now. My wife threatened to leave me if it gets bad, so I'm contemplating graduating to compulsive.
