Attn Nicky:

[success]

I give you credit for making that video for Patty yesterday. You are absolutely correct. You are also "real" unlike the rest of the "professional" gamblers/losers on this forum. I am not ashamed to admit to that I believe in G-d. If you succeed (it will be very hard to do) to save Patty or other young guys from messing up their lives,maybe G-d will make your life more meaningful.
Regardless, keep it up and just be real.

RAKER, YOU ASK A GOOD QUESTION. AND HERE IS THE ANSWER. I AM NO DIFFERENT THAN A COKE ADDICT WHO IS ALREADY ADDICTED AND HAD THEIR LIFE RUINED AND IS NOW GIVING ADVICE TO A KID TO NOT FOLLOW IN MY FOOTSTEPS. IT'S TOO LATE FOR ME RAKER, BUT IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR PATTY.

And don't think every gambler is always checking the score or watching the game.Some handicapp place the wagers and go on with everyday life.

BBY, ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT YOU GO OUT ALL NIGHT AND NEVER CHECK YOUR SCORES.? I DONT BUY IT.. AND IF YOU DO, YOU WOULD BE IN THAT 1 IN 1200 THAT NEVER CHECKS SCORES.. AND IF YOU DO CHECK SCORES WHEN YOU ARE OUT, THEN RIGHT THERE, GAMBLING IS CONTROLLING YOU.. IF YOU ARE WITH YOUR GF AND YOU HAVE TO GO TO WASHROOM TO CHECK YOUR SCORES.. GAMBLING HAS TAKEN OVER YOU..

I HAVE YET TO MEET SOMEONE WHO NVER CHECKS SCORES AT ALL AND GOES OUT EVERY NIGHT.

Even if you've been gambling for the past 30 years, you could get out tomorrow and enter the 2nd half of your life

I don't check scores or watch games.

[SBR Lou]

I don't check scores or watch games.

Do you check when you know they'll be over, or just log into your online accounts and see if the money was credited?

[Nicky Santoro]

I don't check scores or watch games.

FIRST OF ALL, IF YOU REALLY DO NOT CHECK SCORES EVERRRRRRRRRRRRR... THEN I APPLAUD YOU AND YOU ARE THE 1 IN 1200.. HOWEVER, DONT TELL ME ON A COLD DEC NIGHT ON A MONDAY AND N.E IS PLAYING DALLAS THAT YOU DONT WANT TO STAY HOME AND WATCH IT ALL AND PUT A BIG BET ON IT AND ENJOY IT.. YOU DO WATCH GAMES.. AND EVEN IF YOU DONT, YOU HAVE TO BE HOME 9 HRS A DAY IN FRONT OF A SCREEN WATCHING LINE MOVES, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GO OUT IN CASE YOU MISS A GAME.. THIS ALL CONTROLS YOUR LIFE TOO.. WHEN IT'S 530 PM EST.. AND YOU ARE NOWHERE NEAR HOME, YOU HAVE TO FIND A COMPUTER FAST BEFORE GAMES BEGIN TO PLACE YOUR BETS..

ALL THIS IS THAT GAMBLING, NO MATTER WHAT.. CONTROLS YOUR FUKKIN LIFE.. I CAN GIVE YOU 247 MORE EXAMPLES OF HOW GAMBLING CONTROLS YOUR LIFE, BUT THIS POST IS LONG ENOUGH.

I usually update my spreadsheets with results first thing in the morning. I'll check that my sportsbook balances match my records about once a week.

Yes, actually I do watch games. I have the red sox game on in the background every night while I am working. Of course I don't bet baseball. I also watch the Broncos game every week and some college football, but that has nothing to do with gambling.

And no I don't bet on games because I will watch them. I watch football because I like it, not because I can gamble on it. I will gamble on anything I think can be beat. I'm certainly not going to watch a WNBA game any time soon.

And yes I work hard, more than 9 hours a day sometimes. But, no never have I been out needing to find a computer to place a bet.

Durito seems to be a consummate pro, Nicky.

I think the rest of us squares would be doing ourselves a favor to mimic his habits of not checking scores, only updating our spreadsheets in the morning. In my case it'd be updating a free version of Google Docs.

If you detach yourself from the emotion involved in gambling, it would most likely eliminate any and all desires to make chase style plays.
