Another Saturday wasted on gambling

Holysmoke+ · Oct 9, 2004

What a fvkn day! All this sweatin cussin and pissin off wife again, while kids listen in for what? for a lousy 13 dollar profit.

Here it is 1035 pm est. and I'm wondering why I didnt spend the day with wife and kids at the zoo, rather than spend it online and in front of a tv for absolutely nothing.

this hobby sux bad, but is unfortunately addictive.

too bad for my wife and kids, my loss!!!

next time just place your bets early then spend the day with the wife and kids. watching the game has no effect on its outcome.

Take bzb's advice Holy, you won't regret it........

the way i look at it is, take total amount you wagered today on the games. you could have lost all or half. be thankful, and put your family first

My wife and kids like it this way:toothless

I don t think you can just let bets ride anymore...there's too much strategy going on with halftime plays...if your playing for keeps, you should know what's going on...you can protect profits, make adjustmens at the half etc...i finally lost a halftime game tonight on Fla OVER...I cannot recall the last time i lost a halftime before this...Also 3rd qtr wagers come into play, you can really protect profits with the in progress wagering...just keep at it, and make all bets the same...I highly recommend flat betting for someone who's an 'emotional' bettor...

It helps to rationalize spending the day in front of tube screaming at tv:toothless

Holy,

Forget all this halftime plays, hedging, etc. Leave that to the serious gamblers. Put in your 3 best plays and spend the rest of the day with your family. If you have to look back on your life and realize that you wasted it in front of the tv and computer like some of the degenerates, you will be sorry. Serious gambling isn't for a family man. Best of luck to you.

Put your family first. I have been gambling for 30 years and it has almost ruined my family life many times. Now family comes first most of the time. I have the greatest wife in the world that will stick it out no matter what, or I would have been long divorced by now. I still lie about the amount of money I wager. If she found out that I usually bet a dime or two per game I don't think she would be very happy. If I could do it all over again I would have never started gambling. The last four years have been very profitable for me and I share the wealth with my entire family. If I started to lose all the time I would give it up in a minute. I don't need the money, but I am addicted to the action. When you are old you will look back and realize you wasted your whole life on gambling. Everyone I meet I strongly suggest to them NOT TO GAMBLE. Good luck and think about what is most important to you, and how it would be without your family around.

There are pros and cons. Do what makes you happy. Do what will not result in complaint.

Good luck
