most definitely...most of the people around me know the deal and cut me some privacy. I try to exercise to get over it quicker....which leads me to a funny story...I was riding my bike to work today just because, so as I pull into the golf course I see one of the older local bookmakers (who I never played with) on the putting green, he yells at me "keep betting the jags and you might be selling that ride too!" I just laughed my ass off.


exercise does work I have done it

Back in the day when I was in college, I'd flip out and scream at at TV after a game if I lost something. Now, living with my fiance, I'll just sulk to myself for a little while if I have a crappy day. I don't take it out on her, though. Not like it's her fault. If anything, she'll know when I have a losing day and we'll go out to dinner or something afterwards to put me into a better mood.

She's tough to please though. In August, I had the run of my life betting baseball. Won obscene amounts of money. After a while, the other shoe dropped and I had a rough week. I only lost back maybe 20% of what I won, and she tells me "you shouldn't have played this week."

One of the funniest posts I have ever read was almost 7 yrs ago on therx.

Bullet points

Kid made a bet that would put all of his summer winnings at stake.
Watched game at girlfriends house....she had a cat.
Cat was meowing her ass off through the whole game.
Game was very intense.
Game comes down to the last play.
Meow, Meow, Meow....
FG crushes his bet.
Cat goes flying across the room.
Not only did he lose the bet but had to pay for the cats broken legs.

I was in tears laughing.

Gambling became tolerable, when I no longer had to win. I am immune to the bad beat world.
