#3Day to day - It's a 'touch and go' style of living. One bad bet with (a few thousand lost) could easily send your average sports bettor in cardiac arrest (LOL).Comment -

#11Its A Known Fact That Gambling Takes 15 Yrs Off Your Life. Research Has Shown This To Be True. Why Wouldn't It Be True.
Gamblers Dont Get Exercise
Gamblers Eat Bad.. (order In Food Like Pizza Etc)
Gamblers Are Lazy And Inactive
Gamblers Hearts Pace All Day Long And It Takes A Toll On The Heart
Gamblers Are More Overweight Than The Avg Person
I Went To Lots Of Bookie Parties Back In The Day, And If You Take A Good Look At These Men, They Look All Beat Up.. Have You Taken A Good Look At Jjgold, Me And Richie, And How Beaten Up We Look.. Why Do You Think I Wear A Mask For.. And Especially Richie, Have You Seen How Beat Up Richie Looks.. He Smokes All Day, Cigs And Drugs, Drinks, Gambles.. That's What Most Gamblers Do, And That's Why It Takes 15 Yrs Off Your Life. Richie Hasn't Got Off That Chair Since 1982..Comment -

#12After a while, gamblers learn how to not get too up when they win and not too down when they lose. The stock market is gambling in my opinion, and gamblers don't die, they just get barrelled in and fade away.Comment -

#13Has a lot to do with genetics. Some people handle stress better than others. Some people have genetics that keep them healthy.
You should not gamble every day. You will lose and be very depressed and tired all the time.Comment -

#14Before I found the stock market, I used to gamble every day. Now I play the market every day and I am an investor. What a crock of shit that is. There is no actual difference except that gamblers have a stigma against them and investors are look as money smart.Comment -

#19I do see tons of old gamblers at the track, when you gamble your mind is alert all the time and it does correlate with being healthy for some reason. I would be the couch potatoe that drinks beer all night does not live as long as a gambler.Comment -

#28Originally posted by Thor4140Im not shitting here but a post you wrote about a month or two ago change my life. I have been gambling off and on for almost 30 years. The last two have been full time because i wanted to see if i could do it. Well i have done it but the enjoyment of it isn't there anymore and im pretty good at it. I think you were arguing with Swede or Robyn about gambling and i had a lot of those smyptoms you discribed that their boyfriend will have someday. The good part is that im not a scoreboard watcher or get high with wins or real low with losses. Its just like a job to me. Im thinking of going back to my old job just because i want to get out of the house again. If these young guys knew what was good for them they would get out now and enjoy their life. these kids are gonna feel some real low times doing this and have no idea how low it can get. I may just sit on the other side from now on and let others have to do their homework and all i have to do is see them at the end of the week. I should have thought of this twenty years ago. Believe it or not from your post im back in the gym and eat healthy again. Im not gonna quit totally but i will only wager in certain spots now for on. Feels like im free as a bird lately. this shit is worse then drugs. Poor Richie has all the vices. He might need fifty of your speeches to finally get it.
good job, thorry. thorry, just look at this. today was 102 degrees and sunny, and there is a great world out there. i stayed home and looked at the lines tonight and did some early bets. now is this a way to live? talk about wasting our lives huh... a guy like me, or richie, who stays at his desk and smokes and drinks and gambles morning to night is very sad for us. life goes by fast thorry. thorry, i was just a little kid, and now, so fast, i am an old fart, and have wasted each precious moment of my life staying home gambling. .richie hasn't left his desk since 1982. he doesn't even get up to go piss, or crap. if you look close at his vid, look closely to the left, you see he has a bucket there so he doesn't have to get up and miss a beat..
life goes by fast thorry, trust me.Comment -
