    Football BR small... raising kids costing me $600/wk.
    Cost of raising children is out of control. Everything is getting so fukin expensive... school supplies came to $300 for fuks sake. Barely enough in the till to have my fun anymore.

    Inflation is finally catching up to my income. Gonna be a grind this football season, $500 max BR for me... anyone else feeling this crap?

    Maybe I can put a positive spin on it and try and improve my bets and br management. Seasons past have just been reckless and only served the purpose of satisfying my hunger for action. If I do that this season I'll be broke in 2 weeks.

    Definitely time to start taking my gambling more seriously...

    on 2nd thought, I'll probably be done in 2 weeks... ain't it a biotch

    Need to find a couple football sharps to tail, maybe make things last a bit longer... any suggestions?

    I think the pinch is being felt by everyone.

    Somehow in a crappy economy my kid's school thinks it is a good idea to raise tuition by 15% and the sports participation costs jumped 20%.

    I only bet 2 sports------college football and college hoops. I start September with 2K---if I lose it (like I did in '07 and '08)---I am done. No mas. Game over.

    But I have learned-----bet fewer games-----don't take a flyer on a game simply because it is on tv-----and there is always value in a good 'dog.

    Best of luck to you this season.

          You're struggling to buy school supplies for your kid and you're worried about your bankroll.

          I think you should probably reconsider your priorities.

              Steeevvvvvvayyyyyyyyyyy. You should come live in my basement... it's nice. Rent free, you will have to babysit the kids whenever I need you to though.

                              zammer perhaps you should've thought about this while you were humping, pretty expensive sex huh?

                              it's surprising that any woman would sleep with someone that has a man-crush on chris mullin

                                wow is right. tuition alone is $800/mth.. food, clothes, entertainment, sports. it fukin adds up quick. also gotta save a little for em ya know.

                                3 kids. Trust me, I was baffled as well. I'm sure the wife threw on a couple bottles of vino while shopping at Target though... it's ridiculous all the crap their school wants them to "specifically" have. Also had to by some uniform stuff.

                                    I thought you had 1 kid, but for 3 kids, $300 is a bargain.

                                    Good luck pal

                                          Damn, I never knew kids were that expensive. Mine is just 3 months old, so the added expenses aren't too bad. I see what I have to look forward to, though. fuk!

                                            I don't freely give out my picks to people so they can fade them.

                                            asshole.

                                            BOL with the kids expenses...shop online if they need diapers or shit of that nature. No clue on how old they are, but amazon has some amazing deals at times.

                                              What the hell did they have you buy? Or you talking clothes, shoes, backpack, etc etc?

                                              If it was just school supplies, you bought some expensive pencils and paper.

                                              For my son, the supplies came up to $25.

                                                        If you do not make over 100,000 a year it is not worth it even to have one kid

                                                        Too damn expensive

                                                          Easy as 123 WV. Just make sure doc gives you the goods before you go in to keep you calm. Plan it around a good sports weekend.

                                                                "manhood" is the ability to procreate, drink regular beer (not light), drink regular soda (not diet), buy a sportscar, etc etc

                                                                too many men give up all this stuff without a fight

                                                                i think almost everyone would agree that tubes carrying sperm to testicles, and the ability to shoot that sperm, is part of manhood
