We Gamble To Lose

[Sunde91]

It is true what they say. JJGold has always preached this. Coach is wise beyond all of our years.

When you win you become complacent, bored, you do not appreciate it at all.

When you are down, the heat is on to get it back and the thrill from the tilt is the seed of life.

After you pull a great run, the satisfaction is gone almost instantly and there is an emptiness, a desire for more.

Losing fills the void. It might be comparable to an emo kid cutting himself.

Your head says winning is good because you are making money, but this isn't what drives you deep down. It's the chase.

Thankfully my head wins the internal battles most of the time, but it is a different story for guys like Patrick Venditto and Brock Landers. This vid fits them to a T.

[Cuse0323]

True to an extent, but I don't enjoy losing and when it's all gone it's not much fun.

[ACoochy]

Start fading Golds spreadsheet Sunde and ur life will turn around. Guy is a fukkin gambling phenomenon imo....

[wtf]

in it for the win, nothing feels better than hitting a 30-1 horse


i have a great story about this movie, i was speaking once to that tout WAYNE ROOT, he told me that movie is about HIM, no kidding

[boeing power]

I disagree,
When i win i feel like i'm smarter than the books, smarter than other gamblers, it feels great and i envision huge profits in my future.
When i lose I feel like maybe i don't have that edge that I think that I have and I am not as excited about my next wager.

Another spot-on post my my good friend sunde91.

As always, good stuff my brother! Note to some of you younger posters: Don't FUKK with sunde91. He's a bad motherfukker. He's been know to fully emasculate other grown males by simply the words he types in his beloved chit-chat room.

[BrickJames]

i love that movie

[rm18]

Yes winning does not make you happy, try to bet big to find a way to go broke

[jjgold]

Great movie
Great post Sundae
I love losing and trying to dig out

[Sunde91]

Understand that the joy from winning is short lived and derived from the redeeming feeling of getting losses back. Winning in itself is usually never good enough. How much until you're satisfied? Up 1k? 10k? 100k? It is never good enough and never stops.

JJGold and I are savants who understand this.

[MendozaLine]

Come on Sundae, you're a 20 year old. Quit now and stop blowing your 350 dollar paycheck at 5dimes

[in2thethickofit]

Its all about the action, we all know that.

[lyon804]

i gamble for the challenge of it. when i am down i have an emptiness. winning makes me feel accomplished.

[BettingGeek]

ditto

[thekid667]

For me its about learning to become profitable,but that being said i do love the thrill of the chase.

[astrodomer]

I wanna win I wanna win so bad.......why do I always end up face down

[Conan]

no i think i like to win more

[Salamander]

If ever there was a thread that belongs in player's talk, this is the one.

[jjgold]

If you really were interested in winni9ng you would be spot betting only maybe a play or two a week

We want action only

Love the feel of money on a game

speak for yourself
turnover x margin = profit
maximise turnover, maximise profit

[valaub04]

that actually is the theory of some psychologists. eff them.

[RubberKettle]

Everyone wants the thrill/excitement/rush/narcotic of watching a game you wagered on play out. When your chasing its even more of a thrill because of the added pressure.

[unusialsusp5]

just watch the james caan 1970's movie "the gambler" and jj's point will be explained.

[jjgold]

Some of us need to change our ways and want to win

[EDDIE MONEY LINE]

For me I've experienced all the highs and lows...hitting big, betting more than I could pay (payment plan afterwards), chasing losses with bigger losses...Nice hits at Casino also leaving barreled in...The one thing that has never changed for me tho is my desire to win...Was it the rush I was searching for??? No I don't think so. I have always been one to walk away when up...sometimes I don't tho....Never satisfied.

Over time I've learned, don't put yourself in a tough situation where your gambling more than you can afford. It's nice to stay within your means. Always stay hungry, but stay sharp. Find angles and never play heavy favs. I'm at a spot now where I win some and lose some...but I know for a fact, I don't gamble to lose

YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME

[CisforCOOKIE]

Man I don't want to cut the grass today

[Otters27]

nothing like hitting the all in bailout play! Then you bet everything you see while you are up and repeat.

Now that is a very solid post

[jay777]

Gamble for the rush. Bet just enough so it's interesting but not over top so I go crying to the pawn shop, like a lot of you fukkin degens. Some people wanna get rich of this, good fukkin luck. If I can pay a car note or phone note,great. But if you get pleasure from gettin barreled in, you need to get your head fukkin checked.

[dtp]

barreled in is not fun. i would know.

[Sunde91]

its absolutey true

lose by half point garbage 3 at buzzer and you feel nothing, then you want more and more HIT ME AGAIN HIT ME AGAIN
