MikeNowlinWins · Nov 30, 2004

OK, tell me how to take the test if I do it for a living??

ppeter · Nov 30, 2004

Three here. Meaning I only answered NO to three of the questions

neel · Nov 30, 2004

Any Rx regular who doesn't answer yes to at least 15 of 20 is a LIAR. I only answered no to questions 18 + 19. Does this mean I'm sick? Am I eligible for a disability pension?

MaxPower+ · Nov 30, 2004

Okay, I'm Guilty of 2, 4, 8, 12 & 14

I don't care about 8, 12 or 14.

I'm getting better with 2 and 4. I HATE losing.

I'm on fire tonight. 4-0 with two more to go. I want to hop a plane to Vegas. OOOPS, I think that was 8 and/or 14 again.

bookie · Nov 30, 2004

Fifteen years ago I would have said yes to the 20 questions but today probably less than half. Man, I wish I had that money today. :hitting:

kidslick · Nov 30, 2004

lol..............yeah i have taken this test when i went to G.A. WHEN i was 19 years old ....... before going to g.a. my company sent me to a rehab for 30 days to get me away from my enviroment.(miami)...lol...

actually i learned alot during those 30 days.. many good stories

i believed i answered yes to every one of those questions back then..
make a long story short went in partners with a bookie a few years later then got out of that........

only answered yes to #2.........but hey, "women", they always think they got a better use for the incoming $ and definately the outgoing $!!!

:lol: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

GAME.

hansenbros. · Dec 1, 2004

FOUR here

#3 most people know it's partly to blame for the successful life i live, the cars i drive, the hose i live in, and my club memberships. etc

#4 been remorseful when there is one game (MNF or something) and i play it w/out a proper capping angle for fun. and even though it is a marginal investment i still am remorseful when it loses.

#6 sometimes my work-a-holic like attitude towards capping makes me less productive in my other businesses -- actually, the RX probablly does that more than my capping LOL

#17 i WILL NEVER let a bad beat affect my conscious personality -- friends and family, but, at times, a bad beat will affect me unconsciously -- i've tossed and turned a couple times while sleeping.

if you have answered YES to #7

WERE YOU RELUCTANT TO USE "GAMBLING MONEY" FOR NORMAL EXPENDITURES?

then, by definition, :nono5: you have a gambling problem since you have made the rest of your life subservient to gambling, :monkey:

petre · Dec 1, 2004

FOR SOME PEOPLE THAT DONT HAVE A LOT OF MONEY ....I SEE A PROBLEM WITH DO IT"SUBSERVIENT TO GAMBLING"......I CALL IT DISCIPLINED....THEY ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE ......MORE THAN I WANT TO GIVE.....

bookemdano · Dec 1, 2004

ACE ACE...Should'nt you have answered yes to #3??...As a ex-bookmaker gambling certainly changed your reputation...and i think everyone has to answer yes to #'s 2 and 4....if you gamble...you have losing weeks...and if we want to admit it or not, every player has bet games they wished they did'nt..remorse....and every player has bet on games... for example thanksgiving day games...if you are cheering or complaining while watching the games with family it has an effect..good or bad..on your home life...also you have been the best poster i have seen since i have been viewing the RX the past 3 years...just wanted to say thanks for all the enjoyment i've gotten reading your posts...hope you stay on here for years to come...bol the rest of football season and i wish happy holidays to you and your family....DANO
