Nah. Make a couple bets a year when I'm in Vegas for work.


Actually made a random $50 bet with a coworker and took Georgia +4 so that's lunch money for a few days.


I used to bet heavy on mlb. Several hundred dollars per game and anywhere from one to six games a day. I won increasing amounts for three seasons straight and thought I had it all figured out. Then got utterly destroyed the following year using the exact same approach. That's pretty much when I realized there is no such thing as long term winning.

We don't need life stories, unless gambling has ruined you. Reread the title.

Been times where I have been on tilt a bit..always have paid my bills and such. I dont play much anymore..when I played alot it was my only vice. Honestly id rather drink, eat and stuff now. The stress of gambling is simply too much. Shit takes its toll.

Tanner too bad more guys are not as smart as you or have that will power, it seems like you know your limits and have learn a lesson, too many cant stop and it very sad to see the end results.plus if i may add gambling just take you out of real life and heck real life is short enough for all of us as it is

A co-worker of my wife just left her husband. She discovered he had drained 100% of their savings. Something like 100k. She took the kids and left

Like betting NFL foots each year .. but I do it only with fun money maybe total of 300$ for the season .. I do it every year so I'm not sure if it's a gambling problem. But I guess u could say I'm addicted to doing it

The problem for me isn't financial but the need to check scores all the time. It has created problems for me whether its fantasy, straight bets or pools, I have the need to check scores at times that I should be focusing on family issues. Unfortunately, Christmas Eve was on a Sunday and ff finals. Wife's family was up and they are readers, not sports people. I bet I went to the bathroom 20 times between 4-7pm....so yeah, in a way I have a problem
