    This is a wise post by Gold, on so many levels.

    If you gambled, or even bet on a games, and were engaged in the marketplace, you'd know.

    I respect you Chucky, I do, but sometimes I wonder why.

    Real Talk.

    Gold, let's talk about some of the ways our privilige (not right) to gamble can be thwarted.

    Let's avoid the bottom dwellars, the guys stealing stashed from socks in the attic, I don't think we need to rehash that kind of destructive behavior.

    Let's get more specific as to behaviors that really will take our privilige away.

    This is actually a very important concept.

    Remember, picking winners is the easy part. It's all the other shit that gets in the way that makes consistently gambling hard.

    Gold, prime me here, start with some examples and I will make an effort to lend my expertise, both psychological and in practice.

    Good thread.

    Let's start with a tough one.

    What about using parlays to circumvent limits?

    Is this an acceptable practice?

    Destructive behavior means something whether you are an alcoholic degen looking for a rush when drunk and bet foolish or are pushing the limits of what books will let you do, due to success.

    Both extremes of bettors, and everyone in between, has something that can get destroyed. Thus, there can be a desctructive behavior. We can target behaviors, but we can't forget about considering what's being destroyed when changing those behaviors.

    SBR is not ready.

    Let's take this down a notch.

    What if you go to JJ Gold's Aunt with balls' house, climb into the attic, rummage through the semen socks to find a tube stock with a stash of cash, then take it to stay in the game only to get drunk and blow it all on a chalk moneyline NBA playoff game?

    Is this an acceptable practice?

    Anyone?

    what does 'privilege' really mean though?

    in the context of gambling, it can only mean the availability of disposable income

    essentially - if you don't have any available disposable income, then you can't gamble. pretty simple

    basically, you need to win or at least break even (i.e. grow or maintain your disposable income level) in order to continue gambling on an ongoing basis

    once your disposable income is gone, however, you'll need to wait until some becomes available again. and the only way that happens (for most people anyway), is by continuing to work your day job while also saving some other money aside that you can then 'afford to lose'

    'privilege' is an intangible right granted to you by someone else... but in the world of gambling, 'the privilege to gamble' is tangible - and you grant it to yourself in the form of earning savings you can then afford to lose

    Orbison, yes gambling requires money. But you can get down for very very little.

    Money isn't an issue if it's just about pulling the trigger. (Whether it's worth it for whatever money is another story).

    The big point is the gambling is not a right, it's a privilege.

    Many in the US need to remember that and not take it for granted. There was a time you had to make a roadtrip, and corner bookies were everywhere (they still are, lol).

    I know people with far more money than they need and they can not get down in their own name anywhere, with a few exceptions.

    Their privilige was revoked all over the place and continues to be.

    Money is an excuse, not an obstacle, to gambling.

    Money is just the tool.

    well, sure, i suppose you could call gambling a 'privilege' when it comes to the issue of needing an available out who will accept your action, but that's not what the OP was referring to by 'privilege'

    gambling is neither a 'right' or 'privilege' in the truest meaning of those words - it's simply an ability... the ability to earn and save money which you can then decide to spend on gambling if you want

    No.

    It's a privilege, in our society.

    If our gov't didn't allow us to, we couldn't.

    Not talking about black market like options.

    It's not a right in that you aren't going to get the "right to gamble" as an existential constitutional argument, lol.

    Think about like driving a car. You don't have the right to, it's a privilege.

    We could talk about the need for a vehicle, the ability to drive, etc, but it's more about gaining the privilege, like KYC, or passing a driving test.

    It's a gained privilege that could be taken away at any time, whether it's because you ran out of money, the tool, or crossed the wrong book, tax agent, FBI agent, etc..

    A guy goes to jail.

    Did he lose his privilege to gamble?

    He can probably get down in jail, but he isn't doing much in his BOL account.
