In my younger days, I would get so barreled in it was hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have read a bunch about this subject, and a person will seek the absolute most risk and thrill at the age of 26(average). I have always had the talent for gambling, it just took me years to harness it. Good Luck

Lets just say that if Penn State had not covered last night, I would've had a story to tell here. Thank you Penn State defense.

Everyone here has seen Owning Mahoney right? Movie /w Phillip Seymour Hoffman about a Canadian banker who commits various frauds to get money to support his gambling addiction... Really amazing film. The last scene is chilling for people who have had problems, or known people who've had problems.

Great flick.

Check out player 5150 too. Not quite up to speed with Mahoney, but still decent

He used to wager on baseball at the Barbary Coast(Jimmy Vaccarro) in the early 80s.

I put $600 on a Rockies vs. Padres midseason (June) game this last summer.

I think the only way I could have gone lower is if that had been on a WNBA game instead.

Once I had to borrow a few Gs from the girlfriend (never doing that again).....once I had to max out all my credit cards with a vendor that would cash me out (idiot)....and once I went on a payment plan that took the entire offseason to pay off....


if we are talking simply betting (not how fucked we were), then I don't think anything really tops the weeks/months I got addicted to horses

Sounds about right used to hit the COMCHECK on my CC in Vegas for 1,000's back in the day, bellying up to dice tables for countless hours.

When I got barreled in big time friends were putting in bets through me. .. we all knew the Max was $2k... towards the end I was getting calls from friends to put $1k and $2k on certain games. ..I called in 2k the paid way to get 3k and 4k in action on the two games....lost both and nearly killed myself
