My gosh! I live an extremely boring life. I think the world is over if I lose 250 points.
What are some of the things you've done to stay in action??

#109Okay 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.Comment -

#115Yeah she is still with me. Well kinda. We have been through a lot and just last week for the 737365th time we talked about separating. Funny thing is it is always me that wants a divorce. This time it has nothing to do with gambling and only that we fight non stop. We honestly can have a fight over if it is dark outside yet or not. We've been to this point many times though lets see if it actually goes through. If so u can count me in for the bash boys. Keep your fingers crossed for me.Comment -

Brock Landers is an excellent producer to generate a thread of this calibre.
I could have imagined some of these scenarios but many are quite striking. Some even hint at some real writing talent beneath the compulsive behavior.

#123If there's definitely one thing I don't miss about the US is nosy people. I've had an immigration official ask me why I was living in Thailand and not the US. I told him, "because I can and I want to." He just gave me a dirty look and let me one my way. If some nosy ass teller asked me where the money is from I would have no problem telling her that it's money for a hit I did a few days ago. Then I'd smile and say, "just joking." One thing I do like about living in Asia is that no one gives a shit what you're doing or how you make your money.
Do you have money to pay? Yes. End of story.Comment -

#125Yeah I agree. Trust me I wanted nothing more then my wife to stay with me when these things happened but the last year or two I have been trying to end it and just didn't have the balls ( i've tried 20+ times only for her to talk me out of it) after all the things I've put her through. Honestly I am sure she will talk me into trying again but this time it's been longer then usual. Thing is she is honestly way hot and I doubt I'll be with someone with her looks again. I've gained like 50 lbs since we got married and she is still 5'0 103. Big boobs and honestly really a good person. We just don't get along anymore. Obviously lot of trust issues causes problems. I do blame all the problems even now on me and what I've done.Comment -

#128When I started college my family was a lower middle class so I had most of my tuition paid through by grants and goverment aids. I was attending a public university close by home so it was fairly cheap.Had about couple grand left over after all that and my family paid it off my first year. Second year I realized all these loans the goverment was offering me and I could take one out without the family noticing. And the best part apparently there was no interest until you graduated college. I took out 5k planning on depositing 4k and using the 1k left over on personal things. What I didn't know was they break the money into 2. So you get half the money fall semester and the other in spring semester. I had planned everything out with the 4k in my account and I had to completely readjust my bankroll management and the action wasn't all that great compared to 4k. My parents eventually found out about the loans due to the papers being sent home. I had to lie to them and told them my financial aid was cut in half and I needed to pay for tuition. They didn't buy it and almost kicked me out of the house cuz they suspected I might have been using the money to gamble. I still regret not dorming to this day.Comment -
