    How can you afford to gamble?

    i do some internet marketing and surveys for extra money. what about you? how do you stay in the game??? low gas prices certainly helps i guess but after bills and food how can you have anything left to gamble with? I am always impressed by guys on here that win, lose, or draw they come back to fight another day, never give up. Some of you must have really nice jobs or maybe inheritance? either way...Props to you

    I get left with 50€ every week after bills and weekly needs(not hookers) I usually do a parlay to get back 500 if it wins then I have a bit of bankroll to try and build if not no big deal as I am not in debt.

    Wow funny you said that. Although i do have a good paying job i do the surveys for points on the side. Which do you do? I know you cannot make a living with them but hell they do give you some extra spending cash or gift cards. I actually just got done catching up with a couple. If i were to cash out i would get around $400 worth of stuff . We mainly get gift cards though and take my nieces out to eat .

    No. I just started betting this past football season. I'm still learning so I'm very conservative with how much I bet right now.

    thats cool what do they say? i think if you bet 1-3% of your bankroll per game and win over 55% you post a profit somethin like that

    I know i tried them before . Right now my best are NFO Mysurvey. You get points that you can cash out for cash or gift cards. They also send you stuff you can test . EPOLL is another good one very simple and you can get gift or Ecards . MYpoints is one that you can get points but i also use them to order Ink or Gift Baskets for my clients and get points.

    Put $1,000 in an offshore account 5 years ago and have been playing on that same money until now.

    Used a CC then paid off the CC from savings.

    Money management and use a good system or a credible handicapper is key. If I told you how much I spent
    on systems and handicappers, I'd have to kill you.

    Since i do not have your e-mail i just sent the website to you. So you just have to Join. This one is actually my favorite. They will from time to time send you things to try. I have gotten deodorants ,shampoo, snacks, about a month of cat food, and the best thing i ever got was a Keurig Machine i had it for 6 months i did have to send it back but i got free coffee while i had it basically for 6 months. They have a good variety of stuff to choose from, Applebees,Olive Garden,Longhorn, Cracker Barrel. And tons more.

    With a title like that you seem to be implying that most here do not have jobs, or those that do have low paying jobs. Hmmm....

    Most people that don't gamble or only started think that most gamblers are sitting on social doing nothing but gambling but in reality most have good jobs which gives them the funds to gamble.

    Aluminum pistol and straight to the bank will have you gambling for a while, If you're caught you can gamble in prison by playing "how long can I drop the soap for".
