WOW. You guys heard what happened to a long time poster of ours.

[2PLAYSMAX]

Brock Landers went through and is apparently going through a rough time with gambling...here is what he posted from SBR back on Dec.28th....

I know we've seen a lot of these lately...but i am here to say i am making my very last post on the board. I don't know what the hell happened in the last month, specifically since Ball St lost on Friday December 5th, but i've been beaten and bloodied beyond belief and had to be bailed out by my family for the last time. its happened before over the years and now its happened again and one result is i need to now get a 2nd job. How the hell i still have a family if one of the great mysteries, i've put them through hell with my gambling and today it stops, or i die, one of the two.

Guys, i'm not telling ANYONE what to do, what i am saying is be smart and carefull, we are all a few bad weeks away from cashing in our chips for the last time. I certainly didn't see it coming, just a month ago i hit a monster play on Northwestern in college football. But thats long gone and then some.

If anyway wants to rip me, so be it, i hold no ill will, even towards an obvious novice as Venditto.

So to JJ Gold, Richie, Nicky Santoro, and all the rest of you i can't remember right now. Take care, its been fun, but all good things must come to an end.

Salud boys!

"we are all a few bad weeks away from cashing in our chips for the last time"

Not true, and it sounds like he's trying to rationalize.

 

[homedawg]

if you are a bad bettor you shouldn't be betting $1,000 a game as he claims he does. Boggles my mind that you are betting money you don't have when you know you are a life long loser

Has nothing to do with the money, it's about the rush.

There are many of those around here.....but if you ask me, what comes around goes around

I hope as he is going to pay his local "for the last time", he gets rolled.



Karma baby, Karma.

I'm no where remotely close to being 2-3 weeks away from cashing in my chips - wagering is just like alcohol or drugs - some people just can't handle it and it overtakes their life - my idiot friend has a drinking and drug problem and has not done either all of 2008 - he went out with me for New Years and started drinking - well, he left Gold Rush yesterday at 5:00 pm at night coked to the gills some 10k lighter - he never went home since New Years (all by himself).

I hope it all works out for him

but in my view........the problem is this

"had to be bailed out by my family for the last time."

when things get fixed is ......when you are not bailed out by anyone and THEN its really the 'last time' when you hit rock bottom and you get out of the hole (or may be not?) all by yourself

Yep.

 

[Hitman26]

Which ever of his family members bailed him out, did a terrible disservice to him and hurt him in the long run. Hopefully picking up the second job will help him and keep him away from gambling but from every thing I've read by that guy he has no concept of paying his debts and is always looking to stick it to someone.

 

[bellyputter]

I warned this arrogant prick a couple of times about the evils of buying worthless pts and wagering on minus-ev moneylines. The sad thing, is he may be through begging for help from his enabling family, but he hasn't hit rock bottom yet. March Madness baby!

 

[PO69]

I think that he went bellyup on his loan on prosper as well. He "friend" stopped paying his loan back, i know that for sure

 

[Kruser6]

Brock's gay

 

[Geoff101]

man,that's too bad....

anyway, sounds like his family has some liquid. Especially to bail his ass out multiple times. Someone tellhim that if his family is looking for an out...I know a guy...he surely isn't the only degenerate in THAT family tree...

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

Still owes me 500 bucks from last year's Celtics bet...have contacted him a few times but to no avail....what gets me was him ripping stiffs and then turns around and doesn't have the decency to contact me....

 

[fivestarjake]

i was going to start a thread about him cause i didnt see him during bowl season. its a terrible feeling when this sort of thing happens. problem is many feel they can survive betting on sports. been there done that(when i was single). and to those who solely depend on gambling as an income and are successful i say gl to ya. but theres no way i could look my kids in the eyes and tell them daddy can't pay the mortgage because some college or pro couldnt hit a 3 pointer. sad.
