A guy I know was opperating a kenel back in 2008 and all his clients were Wall St. guys. Well, the clients dried up but he had about 2 litters worth of dogs that were growing fast and were unsold. HE was looking at thousands in food costs and he didn't want to lose his license. I offered to take the pups off his hands for a couple of grand... needless to say the only homes I found them were either at the bottom of a lake or in a dumpster behind the local Applebees.

Took the 2k and tailed Venditto right off a cliff. Woof.

Easily put Brock to shame on the Degen totem pole.

[LostBankroll]

Is this legit?

This thread is unreal.

worked a little harder the next pay period at work

i've got a great job and loving family. My parents can overlook my gambling penchant

"Penchant" -- now there's a word for it. Talk about the understatement of the century.

[chipper]

My wife questions that I might have a gambling problem... I gotta' show her this thread and all the heat will be off of me when she sees what some others have done.

[No coincidences]

Okay I am going to try to list what I can remember, trust me when I say there is a good chance I leave some stuff out. Okay well I am 34 years old right now so these are things that basically I have done because of gambling in the last 16 or so years.

I'll begin with when I was like 18/19 years olds and I was still living with my mom. At this point I was already going to the Indian casino's and played blackjack. You only had to be 18 years old to go there. After about a year of being hooked to gambling I was like $2300 behind on my car I owned and one night while I was sleeping I woke up and it was gone. Well not to drag this out, I borrowed the money from my uncle. Problem is I went to the casino that night instead of getting it back. Thing is I didn't lose it all. I was down to $100 and then proceeded to get it back swearing to god as I was thanking him, I won't come back. Well the next night I went to another casino and lost it all. Made up a lie to my mom about meeting some girl off the internet who spent the night and while I was sleeping she went in my drawer and stole my money. The next day my mom felt so bad that she went and bought a new car so I could have her second car, a truck. She didn't have the money to get my car back. She just recently found out the truth about this story actually.

Okay when I was about 22 I got a bookie now BAD IDEA. After doing okay for a few weeks, meeting this bookie every week and paying up or collecting money I had a bad week. I now owed like $1500 and at the time this was big time money. What do I do? Nothing. I don't contact the bookie and I don't think we had cell phones at the time so I just ignored his beeps on my beeper.After a litte while I stopped getting beeps so I never had to pay it back.

Now I am 27 and just recently married. I again have a bookie, BAD IDEA. I was doing real well actaully had cashed for 3 weeks in a row for close to $5,000 total. The wife knows about the bookie and everything since we hadn't been married long or even together very long. During the nice run we went out and lived life, partied it up and paid some bills. Then the next week I had the weekend from hell. I was playing all straight plays in NFL and went on to lose like 13 straight games, including trying to double up for like a $5000 bet on the Sunday night game. After losing all these games and the $5000 I just made the last few weeks (which I don't have anymore). I didn't know what I was going to do. I didn't tell my wife anything that was happening. Well I decide I am going to try to double or nothing on Monday night. I didn't like the MNF game or my luck on football so I went with a NBA game. I did so much research and found to go $5000 on an over of an NBA game. Well at the end of the game I was like 5 points away and the team that was down 3 points got fouled at the buzzer on a three point attempt to try to tie the game. OMG I had a chance. Yeah fat chance. Guy misses the 2nd free throw and I end up losing. Now I was down like $11,000. Had to tell the wife. Told her that night, almost got a divorce. We had to borrow money from friends and family and got a payment plan with the bookie for the remaining. I promised the wife that I would never bet on sports again.

About a year passes and I am playing online poker almost everyday. The wife know and I am secretly depositing/withdrawing money that she doesn't know about so she doesn't know how Im doing exactly. I go to a site that has a sports book and I had a good balance going so I say **** it I'm just gonna bet a game or two. Well I end up getting right back into it. This goes on for about a year and she has no idea. I too am floating checks on NetTeller and then it gets real bad. I now have a bookie through my dad "for a friend" is what I said. Everything is done online and I am the middle man for my "friend" and my dad. I was losing here and there and needed some cash. This is when I really got bad. My credit is bad and I couldn't get a CC for more then $300 from anyone. I decided to get 2 cards in my wife's name. They both came and had lines of like $2500 or so. I even had to call in and sound like a chick so they would activate them. Well I ended up maxing those out and my wife had no idea about them. One morning I woke up to my wife hold my cell phone asking me "what is this?" Acting like I had no idea what she was referring to when I was looking at a mobile web site for betting. I JUST downloaded this site a week ago for my phone. I told her that was old. She went on to say she knew I was lying that she saw these teams just played yesterday blah blah blah. I ended up just confessing and then went on to tell her all the stuff I was doing for the last 18 months including the card I got in her name. We almost broke up again "she should have" but I promised not to ever gamble again, again.

Now I owed some money to one of friends and had for a while. We were in the process of selling our second car which we did one day. We got like $3500 for it. Problem was after I sold it I just held the money in my pocket the next day and while I was supposed to be at work I ended up sitting at the blackjack table at another casino. I was only gonna play like $200, that was the plan. All of a sudden after losing that $200, chased. Chased big time now I was down $2500 of the $3500 I had. I said **** it and went all in on one hand for the $1000 and of course I lost. I didn't know what to do. My wife was sure to leave me is what I was thinking. When she was at work I sent her a text the next night saying that our friend called me and said he really really needed the money we owed him, which was like $4000 so I told her I figured she would be okay with finally paying him since we had the money. She had no idea it was a lie. She didn't find out for a long time when I ****** up from something and came out with it.

Just a side note I stopped gambling after this time and was doing really well. I didn't bet a game for over two years. Then one day last year my wife came home and talked to me about some "5Dimes.com" that has a live blackjack dealer that one of her friends told her about , I guess the guy won a lot of money. Told her I would help her set it up so she could play. Well she put $100 in and just watching her I wanted to play so bad. The next day I opened up my own account to play bj. Well couldn't do it because we had another account in the same house. I didn't know till after I put in the $100. What do I do? They have sports I decide to play a little. HOOKED AGAIN. I never put in too much money 100-200 or so. Few months pass and the wife and I have a talk because I have like 4 pay day loans out and also tell her about the dimes account. Told her I am going to do what I want to do and she can leave if she wants. We were having many many other problems that this wasn't the problem at the time.

The one thing I have learned from all my **** ups is that I will never have a bookie again. At least when I lose money it is only money I can get my hands on and not some imaginary number that I have no way of obtaining if I lose.

I know for sure there are more of these I just can't remember them all. I know I am a MAJOR degenerate though I have gotten much better then how I was.

My favorite part:

I decided to get 2 cards in my wife's name. They both came and had lines of like $2500 or so. I even had to call in and sound like a chick so they would activate them.

After I turned 18 I decided to get in on the action and deposited $200 into bodog. I was a junior in high school at the time. Lost the money in a month. told myself I'd be more patient next time and deposited another 200. I was more patient but blew that in 2 months time. I had a college savings account under my name my parents had opened for me. I had worked the past 2 summers and my parents had put in some cash as well and I had around 3k on it. I told myself I knew what I was doing wrong and I would fix things up and have better bankroll management and make smarter bets. Deposited 2.5k of the money into my Bodog account. Around the same time I started having an obsession with poker as well. Lost small chunks on sports gambling but the most damage was done in Poker. I was a complete donk at the tables and within 3 months I was down to $500. I learned my lesson and withdrew the cash. One of the worst mistakes I ever made. Parents saw the check and questioned me and found out what was going on. I would have rather lost that $500 as well. I had to work my entire senior year to replace the money I had lost and my parents have never trusted me with money since.

I like the 18 year old junior in high school part.

[AraiWa]

Good stuff here. The only thing I've ever done is sell a camera to assist in putting together my bankroll.

Money management, money management, money management, that's the key to not losing yer ass, at least, it's worked for me up until now. 2%-3% bets no matter what. No matter if I think it's the lock of the century, 2%-3%. It's not always easy but the alternative isn't easy either.

[hawley]

Some sick shit in this thread.

[AraiWa]

sold some drugs...not proud but ya gotta stay in action

Oh, I didn't know this counts. If this counts, guilty as charged. About 20 years ago I moved quite large quantities of an illegal yummy white substance. I used to do all sorts of wild shite with that money. Forgot all about the wagering. Most of it went to going out to clubs and getting strange but I did manage to blow some of it with the bookies.

[ZetaPsi808]

wow this thread is fukking awesome.

good topic brock

Yeah I've made many many many mistakes. Now I never have a bank roll of over $1500 in my dimes account at any time. I know myself and know that I have most every cent that's in my account In action everyday so I just don't leave it in there.

He does not even come close to Brock. Even though he did some scummy things it was never for huge amounts of money that Brock has done. The thing is he knew he was going to lose but with Brock he is always the optimist thinking he will always win when in all actuality he is probably the worst capper on the site.
