Has gambling ruined your social life?

[vyomguy]

Yes for me

[onetrickpony]

vyommer u fuk, i wont read this shit but just get out u fuk, its that simple no need for anything else just do it

[jjgold]

I really never had one..I was always my own best friend
Yes gambling does promote anti social behavior
Keeps you inside more also
Many of us choose this lifestyle though

I love it and the boys at sbr that are just like me
we have a bond

[Tech N9ne]

Quit while your ahead, you WILL eventually lose it all unless you arb or your Billy walters

[freeVICK]

You make 3x your salary gambling huh? Sure you do

[stevek173]

It is a nice distraction from the lonely miserable life most of us live. We are outcasts not accepted by normal society - at least now we have an excuse for it.

[flyingillini]

Not at all, I am in a very social field and gamble at the same time.

........... where do these guys even come up with these stories.
Congrats guy, you're a real hot shot.

[Holdin Aces]

It very well can.

[20Four7]

No where close to where drinking has gotten me.... great social life shitty life.

[FishFace5]

Ask bookmaker guy...they will let you know But thats not the point of this thread you fuk....the point is how we are all wasting our time in gambling instead of living our lives to the fullest. We have become anti-social as jjgold suggested.

Please dont act like you could provide truth to this nice lil internet life you created for yourself.
As Illini suggested above I would hope that most can find a happy medium between work \ family \ gambling.
If you have the life you suggest above and cant find a nice middle ground for gambling than you must have some deep rooted mental issues. Maybe go see a shrink.

Baruch HaShem Beantown!
I am actually meeting my new Rabbi this Friday. I already give my Synagogue $2,500 a year, not getting any more.

[rm18]

you make 400k a year at bookmaker and you work?

[doublej95]

I never liked people much to start with so it was an easy transition into gambling.

[neverstoppers23]

Not really, I still place bets I just go out, and I come home and check the scores. Some of my friends give me shit for gambling so much but they understand it helps me relieve my stress. Considering I am disabled I can't just go out all night every night, most nights my pain in my back, and legs prevent me. So basically gambling on sports is my only form of entertainment I have. When i was in the hospital for 6 weeks, on strict bed rest, gambling on sports, and netflix watch instantly were the only thing that kept me sane.

One time my ex boy friend for whatever reason hated that I gambled, and basically told me if I didn't stop that he didn't want to date anymore. I thought about it, he was hot and everything, but I told him its a big part of my life. Long story short, he left and broke up, got back together, broke up, and he died two years later of cancer.

Jeezuz your like a walking meatball of doom

[FishFace5]

You are talking about a minority percentage who can balance all aspects well. Illini is an exception. Most gamblers (more then 90% of them) cant balance all aspects. Do you think most posters here have a social life? we are in forums on friday night, saturday night sweating out games in the over-time innings. Wake up guy.

I dont think I'm willing to group 90% of posters into the degen group.
Certainly we have a strong degenerate and proud clique in PT but I think some of that is exaggerated and some of it is a demographic of under 25 years of age.
By your late 20's you should have things more or less figured out. If an individual is as successful as you claim to be you should be smart enough to know where to draw the line.

[yahoonino]

if you make good money at gambling ,you should have a great social life money buy you everthing ,,,girl ,,fun ,,,travel,,,etc wtf you talking about

......What kind of selfish bastard rakes in around a half a million bux a year and takes the time to post regularly at a gambling forum but cant share his plays with others?????
maybe think about this when trying to figure out where your issues lie.

[Emily_Haines]

Yes, were all like JJ

Shut in's with no life other than gambling.

[Ra77er]

I don't think Fish has missed the point of your post but you continued to bring up the fact that your a "top 5%, make 3x yadayada" that kind of put a /facepalm spin on the point you were trying to get across. I could be way off here...

I felt really good about myself...until I read that I have a "bond" with jj...damn

Anyone who chooses to spend time around non-SBR members is the real loser here, boys.

As I've said many times, everything one requires to be happy in life can be found right here in the chit-chat room.

Immerse yourself 100% into the chit-chat room, and watch all your wildest dreams come true, boys. It's all right here waiting for you.

SBR is everything....and everything is SBR. Come into the light.

....... and to the OP's RX reference. How come you can contribute over there but just troll around here and preach about what a hot shot you are.

jjgold bribed you with Poster of the Month award

I'll say this.....Vyomguy has probably given away as many points as anyone on SBR. (except for Noser. Nos is SBR's most generous poster)

Thanks for spreading the goodwill, Vyomguy!

I know what you mean, vyomguy! I sometimes stay home and watch the game I am betting on while all my friends are going out having a good time and taking pictures and meeting new people.
But if I go with them, I'm stuck to my cell phone watching the updated scores and if my play looks like it's not cashing, I'm grumpy to my friends for the rest of the night.
