Coach, I remember you used to say that gambling is a privilege. I think I have lost my privilege to gamble.

I lost $598,956.49 and 75,348 points in my career and never quit. Gambling is a way of life.

Damn Pavy... how old are you if you don't mind me asking?

(by the way good call on the canes cover tonight... put 4 units on it)

39 zam

I have been gambling since I was 14. I average about $22,000 losses a year which is not bad.

Now show us how much $ and points you made...Come on dont be modest ur willing to show us ur losses so y not the profits (in the interests of objectiveness of course)....

Pavs... You're the real deal. A testament to the truth of gambling, or at least one side of it. Obviously you can afford it and learned to manage it. I'm sure there's plenty who do this that can learn a thing or two from you.

I am not going to quit yet. I have made a commitment to spend less time doing it. Mainly because the way of life I believe in considers it wrong. I have made some good money doing this and in all honesty it's like a 2nd job to me. I am going to scale down my amount of bets and increase my amounts. So I'm able to open up some time by spending less on the forum, capping and watching games. If I notice loss of profits from this I may consider quitting.

Not me. I doubled my points and my $$ on the UFC 125.

**onizuka** · 01-02-11, 10:11 PM

Me! Quitting gambling (without analyzing)

**Flexin** · 01-02-11, 11:29 PM

No reason to quit.

Quit a job with $100,000+/hour potential that involves mostly sleeping?

**GELATINOUS CUBE** · 01-03-11, 12:53 AM

Pavy,
minimum bets for you my friend.

Been doing too well to quit. If/when I hit a really rough patch I'll just martingale slots to get back to biz.

Taking a sabbatical until the conference championships and first couple rounds of the NCAA baskets tournament. Best +EV weeks of the year right there boys as the doggies bark. Then bases hard work will ensue. Bases is the mealticket these days for me.

So not quitting, just a sabbatical for a few months to regenerate brain cells and regain mental sharpness.

Some bad advice here guys, if you are addicted you should quit. Period, "SBR did not raise quitters", WTF does that mean. JJ do you get paid to hand out this nonsense. Don't you realize this advice could possibly be very detrimental to some people. It could cause them loss of home, family and even life.

If you can control your gambling that is fine, if you cannot all this other stuff is complete bs, you should quit before you hurt people you love. Take this advise from a person that witnessed it up close. It ain't pretty.

You realize that telling people that if they are addicted to gambling they should quit is rather pointless?
