KingJD31 · 02-21-12, 12:54 AM

I smoke people up on weed alot but other than that im greedy as fuk

MoneyLineDawg · 02-21-12, 01:06 AM

I'm not greedy at all.....never was

You'd be surprised how it all works itself out.....all of my friends usually hook me up with whatever and have helped me out a lot if I needed to borrow some money or whatever in the past just as I do for most of them

Of course there's a few cheap or greedy fukks in our group of friends and no one ever goes out of their way to help them or share things with them

Is what it is

byronbb · 02-21-12, 01:30 AM

all humans are greedy beyond their imaginations. gambling was an eye opener to me how greedy i actually am.

RedSox88 · 02-21-12, 01:31 AM

winning gamblers cant be greedy

it will never end well

One might think gamblers are pretty generous. Many live in squalor, donating all they have to the books. A greedy person might keep some money instead of giving it to the guys at 5 dimes so they can buy ferarri's and race to the coast.

How can you say that we are greedy? If most of our money end up in the bookies' hands, we are too nice brother. Bookies are the ones who are greedy.

probettor1 · 02-21-12, 03:06 AM

People are always talking about winning gamblers and jesus, I wish I can see one or the other before I die.

probettor1 · 02-21-12, 03:09 AM

How many elite athlete use or have used illegal substance? How many of the famous gamblers have paid for tips not availables to the public? My bet, more than a few.

Makes you think. The guys running the books are millionaires many times over, and they got there mostly by capitalizing on the lack of education and intelligence of their customer base. It's a free country and all that, but I put it in the same category as payday loan joints, buy here pay here scummy used car sales, and door to door salesmen who sell worthless crap to old people.

It's up to the person who is risking his/her own money to educate themselves.

Suppose there is a car dealer who is 100% honest about the quality and condition of the cars he is selling; if he is charging $3,000 more than his competitor across the street for the exact same car, is he somehow doing something immoral? No, it is the responsibility of the consumer to determine the fair market price of the car.

I don't see any difference when it comes to sportsbooks, provided they are operating honestly, paying out on time, etc. There is a plethora of free information available on sports betting. If people choose to ignore that, it's their own fault, IMO.

Payday loans takes advantage of the desperate and uneducated. The difference is the books don't charge usery rates for their money. In fact, the overseas books, we have to pay them upfront, and the only rate they are charging us is juice - which is 10% at most books for US players, or 5% at a reduced juice price.

10% is nothing in comparison to the 28%+ usery rate payday loan joints, and bad car dealerships make the consumer pay.

Books are nothing like the filth that is payday loans and places willing to sell you a marked up clunker at usery interest rates.

Most guys bet to lose

Most guys just keep doubling up until they lose everything

Most guys think it is easy

darrell74 · 02-21-12, 06:58 AM

Every once in a while, I may donate to a charity organization.
Most likely, I buy drinks for anybody at the bar.

I'm not Ghandi, but I'm not Ebeneezer Scrooge either.

ODDmaster · 02-21-12, 07:08 AM

I'm greedy for some things, but mostly still found money to donate. (h8 to borrow money for lame thing)

showtiime · 02-21-12, 07:48 AM

as bad as you are lazy I think being greedy is the least of your problems.

Sportsbetting123 · 02-21-12, 07:54 AM

98% of all people in general are greedy

Frozenropes25 · 02-21-12, 08:24 AM

the bad ones are

opie1988 · 02-21-12, 08:44 AM

Greed, for lack of a better term..........is good.

darrell74 · 02-21-12, 09:33 AM

disagree

greed is not good

greed is a killer, #1 killer for us gamblers

the next time you see a gambler living out of a dumpster because he donated too much dough to cancer research, would be the first one

We die because of greed
we succeed when we know we've had enough

thetrinity · 02-21-12, 02:41 PM

not at all, think im too generous with my money if anything

PickWinnerAllDay · 02-21-12, 02:43 PM

I have been greedy in the past, but lately, when I"m up $1,500 on the day and the night games are rolling in I've been laying off because $1,500 is good enough.

A year or so ago, I'd probably put $1,000 on the late game and try to make it $2,500.

jjgold · 02-21-12, 04:00 PM

Tough to be a grinder

We all start off normal but then start increasing bets when we lose

That was just a Gordon Gekko line from "Wall Street".

probettor1 · 03-02-12, 03:03 PM

Every body here is a winner. I wonder how does bookies make so much money. People talk like they know. You won a few bucks but it doesn't make u a winner it just encourage you to lose a lot in a near future.

they say when your greedy , your a pig , and pigs always get slaughtered. Personally My daughter- in law has said that I am good and kind to a fault. I guess I am a sucker for family and friends!
