Has anyone read Busted by Art Schlichter?

[Albert Pujols]

Wow it was eye opening. I had no idea compulsive gambling could get so bad. I wonder what percentage of people on this board have a gambling problem.

[Fishhead]

Yes, immediately after it came out.........

I knew Art fairly well when he lived in Vegas, you may recall me telling you a few good stories about him.

[gravy]

I know that Art and Earle Bruce liked going to Beulah park and bet the horses alot and I mean ALOT

What's funny is poster CY1981 across the street played QB under Bruce at Iowa State...........and look at CY1981 now, a degenerate gambling corn farmer from Iowa that visits gaming forums daily.

[gravy]

Earle has been known to bring the gambler out of you

[Fishhead]

LOL

I've witnessed firsthand Art wagering $20,000 horse parlays..........

Art is probably a lurker on this site.

No way. He couldn't lurk here and not bet. And if he ever bets again his life is over.

I couldn't even describe the magnitude of this guy's degeneracy. It was fascinating to hear about the depths that one can plummet to in this game.

I've been around hundreds, and he is one of the, if not THE, biggest degenerates I've ever associated myself with.

Obviously he is going to have to say goodbye to gambling and everything associated with it. And even then it will be a tough challenge.

its not at my library, i'll have to request it

[Brock Landers]

Got it from my Library today, almost finished it. Hell of a good read. Guy is the biggest degenerate ever to live to tell about it

It would make a great movie,who would play him?I remember seeing the CBC in Canada doing a news segment on him when he got his last chance to play in the CFL years ago.He had this beautiful and really nice wife and great little kids and that couldn't even keep him from gambling.He seemed like a nice guy all the time.Even when he was in college and high school he never came across as a golden boy jock.I am going to get the book but wasn't it some $2 bet on a harness race at a fair in Ohio as a teen that opened the floodgates for him?In the 70's he probaby won $50 and that was alot of money for a country kid.I always figure that it's best that a teenager that bets loses a couple hundred dollars on his first few bets instead of winning big.Winning big just primes the pump.
