    May Need to Take a Break

    I'm considering taking a bit of a break from sports betting after the NBA playoffs. Maybe take a couple dimes out of the bankroll, rent a cottage for a week and just chill. No screens, no Internet. The only lines I'll worry about are over/under fish caught, beers consumed, grams of kush smoked, number of (old school dead tree) books read.

    Things are completely locked down here in Ontario, so not sure if this will even be possible at the end of July.

    Am I going to experience withdrawals?

    There are draconian measures in Ontario.

    In Alberta we laugh about it. When we get frustrated with our restrictions, we always remember at least we don't have lib Doug Ford running our province.

    Laker, think about how awesome the SBR Canadian Bash is going to be:

    1) CFL game. 12 on 12. Provincial battle.
    2) Curling tournament.
    3) Hockey game. To settle it all.

    Yes, but get that action on some fly in only fishing place. Get a few hookers, a buddy or two for poker games and a box of fine cigars.

    Used to do this in Saskatchewan.
    We'd all it a SMOKIE. Just cash poker games, hookers, sauna action and fishing ...have a blast!

    We had "the worst stats in North America". All the liberals whined and whined.

    Hey mikejamm!

    I'm frustrated at being a Pro when my Store orders take over 100 days to complete.

    Sorry that I don't fit your "real man and women" gambling definition. I'm not quitting, I just want to enjoy a bit of my success and not have to stress about watching lines, updating code, and finding +EV plays for 5-7 days.

    I'm down for a Canadian Bash!

    1) Let's go Ti-Cats! Argos Suck!

    2) Never watched, but I'm down. You can drink unlimited beer, right? Also, I've heard there are Bong-spiels? I can clear a massive bong.

    3) Go Leafs go!

    Huge Dopamine withdrawal. You should be feeling well in two weeks. Then after the 3rd week you a cured until you go back. The the addiction speeds up. Better to not ever take a break.

    The only slight dopamine increase I feel is when I back a +EV position and the market/line moves with me. That can happen multiple times per day or not for a week or longer.

    dmm, full respect for your comments in here.

    I'm telling u, your vantage point is good. If u go away somewhere and don't even watch sports, you'll realize there's more to life than sports-betting. There's poker, horses, baccarat...more than u can imagine.

    If you go camping be sure to set up the tent BEFORE the mushrooms kick in.

    Bro... nothing wrong with taking breaks..I ran to the lake this past Victoria Day weekend in Mont Tremblant Que.. we were locked down here for months with an 8pm fucckkin curfew..now9:30 till Friday when it’s lifted
    in the city.

    Felt good to get away smoke some weed bang a French Canadian broad and just chill out by the lake and not bet for 3 days..small break but a break..I happen to like mikejam he’s right in the sense that no one will give a fuckk if you leave for a few months.. but breaks in the gambling world are good IMO.

    I Feel refreshed after just a few days off.

    Bol with your decision.

    No way your store orders are taking over 100 days to complete. So you’re full of shit there or you’ve done something to raise a red flag. Most likely because you’re a dipshit Canadian like Laker douche. (Al Masters is an exception because he actually has some degree of intelligence.)

    And we just lost a long time beloved SBR Pro Samball9 after a long illness, who was the upmost reliable and successful store orders processing manager this site ever had. He was the only one who ever held the job, because he was that damn good.

    So how about show some respect noob and stop your whiny bitch’in cause you haven’t gotten your order and understand that SBR is going through the painful process to find someone to continue Sam’s great work.

    And again pal, when you post some stupid noob shit like “Don’t become a Pro” above your avatar, it a fuk’in insult to every “real” SBR Pro here and the people who work their asses off to make this site as great as it is.

    So yeah, take a break and order yourself a mouth enema, too much shit is flowing outta your mouth.
