You know I love you man.
And I see your messages bro.. Im just in no mood to talk or work.

I have the most respect for you, dont you forget it and take it the wrong way, but I just need to put things off for a bit bro.

I assure you ill make it up to you..

You have my word.

And my habbits are pushing her away.

She may leave me it seems..

We need some time to get away.

now that's funny :)

Good luck. If you liked to bet on football it will be tough for you come Sunday.

Get you head on straight, and then we can talk. Your word is like gold to me!!
But your friendship is priceless.
I know how much you love your wife, I am sure you can fix this.:thumbsup

Does this mean that our Poker game in Vegas is off?

Damn that's what I was going to bet him on :1orglaugh

Good luck Boneprone.

Gambling is something that fucks up a ton of lives. Luckilly, I've lived in Vegas my entire life and there's not much of a thrill to it, other than playing some blackjack once a month or so for fun. My best friend is falling victim to it, and he makes next to nothing (and loses all of it unless I'm there to grab his cash).

Just relax, spend some time with the wife, and try and get your mind out of the books.

You can beat this! :thumbsup

Good Luck BP...Gambling is as addicting as smoking or drugs.If you seek professional help and have the mindset to do it ..You will succeed
:thumbsup

San Antonio by 15..

any time you see/hear someone say lock of year..double up the other way..it is guaranteed winner..

key to gambling is money management..and being able to not play some days..its chasing money that ruins players..

You should take a break and go visit Amp in hawaii.

and a space opens up at the TGP VIP party............

Hang in there man. I can tell your a smart guy. If you know numbers then you know you can't win at gambling. It took me years to figure out what a waste it is . Now I just play poker. Poker is a game of skill, not chance. If you do go back to gambling at all, please just try poker. It will relax you and you will enjoy it.


For right now just go buy an oz. of the chronic and smoke away. Spending $300 on Hydro is a hell of better high and rush than any 3 team parlay. Buy a nice glass bong and snap bulls.

I've never understood the gambling addiction.... I can understand how you could always think the next one could be the jackpot or something... But damn, I cant imagine getting addicted to losing money (not that I have any to begin with)..

Good luck

Been there done that.

Good luck man - it's not always an easy fight.

Congrats on the decision, boneprone. Stick to it, you can do it.

stay strong bp if u need to talk to anyone holla at me

My uncle gambled his house away and had to borrow money from my grandpa so some mafia type dudes wouldn't kill him. Did he learn his lesson? Hell no.

Good luck to you Boneprone.

Boneprone,

I dont know you very well and never did any business with you, but I am familar with your posts and I can tell you're sincere with this one.

good luck with it,
Kush

I haven't read the whole thread - just the first post.

Of course, you realize that it's gonna be a long, hard road. There's a reason why you started gambling in the first place. If you don't start working with those issues, it'll come back, maybe in a different form.

I wish you luck. :thumbsup

Good luck, Boneprone!

It was about time.

Gambling doesn't work that way. Addicts get bored with small wins and think about how much they could have won rather than focusing on dialing it down.

Just be patient and strong and you'll be able to quit boneprone.

Glad to hear this Boneprone! :thumbsup

Oh boy... you picked the wrong game to like my friend. One of the worst games to play in the casino as far as odds.

Since I am DR PHIL let me help u out a bit here..What your going to wanna do is substitute it for something different and fun. I recommend crack. Next problem please?

congrats, admitting you have a problem is a big step

Congratulations on quitting gambling, boneprone.

Clearly he resolved his problem since he went right back to gambling.

That's how it works, right?

old thread, but still, that's classic... :1orglaugh

Admitting you have a problem is the first step.

If you want to gamble but do it smart and make money from it, then be a bookie or get involved with a sports book site. The people who bet are suckers, the odds are stacked against them no matter how much studying they do or how much of an edge they think they have. When they do win (the lose more often than they win) they just lose it all back and then some.

If you were the "house" you could still be involved with gambling but at least profit from it.

Even when I made 30K+ a week, I couldn't bring myself to betting more than a couple hundred a weekend or spending more than a couple hundred at the casino. I don't care how much money you make, when you lose a lot of money it makes you sick. If you work hard to make that money it makes you even more sick to work so hard just to piss it away. If you spend hours doing research and studying trying to get an edge, and you bet a lot of money and still lose you even more sick because not only did you still lose a lot of money but you lost a lot of time.

I need to get a few video poker machines. Now that is a kick ass investment, allows you to still be involved legally with gambling and you make a TON of money from them. If you want to buy a couple machines here and get them making money hit me up.


oppps you got me... i didn't check the date. Perhaps you should have quit back then I bet you would have a lot more money now if you did. Well placed bump considering he just lost 9K last night.

congrats to the losers.

Pick me Pick me!!! :1orglaugh

will power

7 yrs later, LA Lakers are bad for you :(

Nice bump...

this thread is the best thread

Hilarious. I opened this and thought "He said this a few years ago"

laffo. once a gambler, always a gambler. something I will never understand.
