Any of you large wager guys....

[Chi_archie]

start as a small time recreation bettors like me?

been at it 2 years... I still only bet 3-4 days a week, maybe more when its football/basketball season at the same time. and MLB playoffs time.

I don't go over 50 bucks too often.... In fact many times I'll only bet 10 bucks. Its not really about the $ or the wager. Its about the capping and winning.

anyways, wondering if even a guy like me has the potential to get reeled in, and become a total degen and start betting a dime on 10 games every night of the week

I like being small time.... but I get scared of falling in... somtimes when the urge hits me I intentionally take time off or bet 5 bucks or less even a game. Just to be careful

[wtf]

u will escalate when your salary/revenues escalate or there is no thrill in it

Loving your avatar. By far your sexiest picture yet. That BigAl is one lucky fella.

$10 is the gateway drug into bigtime degenerate gambling.

that is the nice thing.... it has nothing to do with any "thrill" for me.... I do quite well but I feel no need to throw money away. Maybe it helps since I live in and around so much abject poverty. It keeps things in perspective.... I know that a lost 100 bucks on a silly bet...is a super joyful night of chuck E cheese for a kid and his friends.... that have never had a real birthday party for.

I hope I don't end up like Brock Landers

Archie I used to be small time like you, but now I have to bet at least a nickle on side to get excited about a game.

Archie you didn't make it.

god bless.

[Chi_archie]

Fuk me.....


ok......well might as well get started with my full blown degeneracy.... I'll start with a five team parlay in your honor for 500 bones tonight....

Archie if you hit that you could buy your girl a nice new dress at j-crew and she will be sooooo happy.

god bless.

[Chi_archie]

she hates dresses...hates j-crew.... and i'm pretty sure that other then dress/work clothes she has not bought anything new in 5 years.... she loves the thrift store...

so I might just buy her a thrift store if I win

Good post, as long as you can keep the perspective you are no degenerate. Never forget there are so many people who simply struggle to survive.

I don't know if you want a serious answer. Yes, I started small. I mean, of course. The bets have gotten much bigger.

This is the weird bit to me.

It seems like you are assuming failure. Why the word degen?

The reason bets should get bigger is because of winning.

I think you've been hanging around Players Talk too much.

The game can be beat.

[wtf]

marry that girl you cheap fuk
