    Opening a sports bar is not good, if you're trying to quit gambling...
    My brother and I are opening a sports bar, I think it's a stupid ideal, cause I'm trying to cut back on gambling, that means that I can watch sports all day, which sucks cause the more I watch sports the more I want to put a wager on it... I talked to my brother, yes he knows I gamble that we should do something else, it was to late cause we already brought 8 flat screen tv's and 4 pool tables... We owned a sports bar before that was ran by my dad, he use to book wagers before he passed away...There were all kinds of bookies that were our regulars, sports bar are bookies favorite spots to hang out at...

    We are currently remodeling the building that we brought, the sports bar should be up and running in a month,...I let you guys know how it will all work out...

    There is a way around this conundrum if you can exercise self-control. Assuming the bar is succesful you will be earning more money, so if you can keep the stakes of the wagers to what they are now your income should receive a boost.

        Just quit gambling and start drinking more heavily.

        No that won't work either.


        Let me know when you're up and running so I can come up for a free tab. And to meet Holly.

            Nice English. Please look up the difference between "ideal" and "idea." That drives me nuts. Some people say "idear" that also makes me crazy. How do you have the money to open up a sports bar?

              Maybe it was a typo,is it possible you could be a little more of a penis and look for other typos around the board? It would be greatly appreciated Mr.Chips

              Good luck dante,its great to see some entrepreneurial spirit in this joint.Good luck with the bar.

              cheers

                  work the other side of the counter and start taking your buddies action. you will have more income coming in and if you have 10-20 friends who gamble as bad as you jk..... then you should make some extra money. seriously, put a cap on them and tell them to keep their fukin mouths shut about it and you will do just fine. ps...this is probably real bad advice

                        Take bets, don't balance the action...have +555 on one side like Nicky pointed out. Better to be rooting for a side at +555 than -110.
