Betting When Broke .......................

jjgold · Jul 28, 2003

Is a true test of character and one that can do this in my opinion can handle any pressures in life period.

Example lets say a guy has $300 to his name and is betting nickles and dimes on every game on credit with locals and offshore credit. This is what I call a pressure player and one with balls and it shows me a lot about the guy that he will not buckle under presssure. I reccomend it to everyone to toughen them up mentally. I also respect guys that do this.

No, it's called a dumb shit and soon to be stiff player.

Every time I think JJ has turned the corner we get a thread like this

Thats what I do all the time. I borrow money from my daddy and parking lots to bet on games!

A true test of character is being responsible and honest even when it's difficult.

A person with character NEVER plays with money he doesn't have.

Tico the guys I know that have done this never missed a payment, they would go to sharks or hustle money up but always paid and that is what I call a solid guy. Of course guy some stiff but the ones that do not show me something and are pressure guys.

Lots of bookmakers have bad weeks and go to sharks to play the players and again that is what we call solid guys. Boys I am trying to teach you what solid actually means and there is another message in this thread.

Reminds me of the guy that calls up one day, deposits a dime and tells me he's gonna bet cause he'd like to buy some real estate...

HAHAHHAAHHAA.

If this were a stock market, your stock would have just plummeted after that comment.

Ninja I guess your a conservative player, nothing wrong this that but around here we got guys betting all the time and have no money and no jobs but bet nickles on games. This is called pressure betting and I respect it.

Good Luck

JJGOLD.................your example is absolutley, positively the most asinine, insane dumbest ect... i have ever heard........

first of all the person who gambles HAS A CHOICE TO BET OR NOT TO BET......

the bookmaker who takes bets HAS AN OBLIGATION TO DO WHATEVER HE HAS TO DO TO SETTLE......

the person who gambles with money he doesnt have on a regular basis will find trouble...............

and as far as you knowing people who do this type of activity...........im gonna say your bluffing, because my experience with players that bet money they dont have...eventually, ALL OF THEM end up paying off the debt over time or worse STIFFS...........

now with that said, yes there are people who roll the dice and go out and hustle to pay off the debt, BUT SOONER OR LATER IT WILL CATCH UP TO THEM...............thats a absolute promise....

jjgold · Jul 28, 2003

Dime I am laying the cards out on the RX poker table right now. Guys that do this are pressure guys whether it is right or wrong and DO NOT BUCKLE UNDER LIFE'S PRESSUREs because of this crazy betting style. What pressure it must be when having 4 dimes in action and have no money to pay on Thursday's if you lose. Now if that does not toughen you up I do not know what will.

betting when broke is about as smart as raping a hot chic in the ass when you have the hottest chic at home, make about a gazillion dollars a year and have the world at your feet.....

Angelle · Jul 28, 2003

I would be so stressed out if I was in that situation...

why does one do this to themself

dimeplayersonly · Jul 28, 2003

actually what your saying is very reckless, suppose a newbie reads your post and thinks its gonna be ok to bet this months mortgage or car payment or worse???????

if i lose i can borrow the money they say to themselves only to find out oops..........

very bad habit to get into health wise and financially.........
