    ALERT - Many gamblers missing, may have hurt themselves

    One employee of mine was a no-show at work today

    His wife just called me and asked where he is. She hasn't seen him since yesterday morning

    Guy is a big gambler, and I suspect he may have lost all his money

    Anyone else seeing similar things?

    Keep an eye on those that may be vulnerable

    That sucks. I can't believe anyone would bet so big on the Steelers.

    Not to be rude, but how could anyone bet all their money on this game? I can't see how anyone could have felt too strongly about either side or total. I cashed Green Bay but I can still admit it that it could have easily gone either way.

    Anyway- hope everyone's alright.

    It's called common sense and money management...just because it's the USA's biggest game of the year doesn't mean you go absolutely insane and bet all your money you can't afford to or back it up...it's pathetic and I feel no pity for anyone who doesn't have common sense on what they can bet and afford to pay if they lose...I know it sounds harsh, but it's true.

    agree with chimeyfish, I could have seen Pitts winning.

    But yeah, you Steelers squares, DONT JUMP!

    There's always Labor Ready or something to get you $50 + back on your feet.

    some guys i know run a total until the end of the year so if they're down they try to roll it all back on the super bowl...bet hits they are back to even- bet loses and well... you know.

    Driving to school yesterday after the game, I passed by a drive-thru ATM really late at night. The line was unusually long...getting money to pay their bookies? :|
