If you had a gambling problem, and vowed to quit, would you make an exception for the Superbowl and bet on the Pats??

A friend of mine has a gambling problem, I was wondering if it were smart for him to make an exception for the superbowl and put 10k on it..

On the Pats of course.

What do you think?

StuartD · 01-26-2005, 12:32 PM

No exceptions.

That's like an alcoholic having just one more bottle of JD because it's his birthday.

stopping means stopping. No more. That's it. No temptations... no little "just this one time" excuses.

QualityMpegs · 01-26-2005, 12:33 PM

No exceptions.

xxxdesign-net · 01-26-2005, 12:33 PM

a friend..? *wink*

Marcus Aurelius · 01-26-2005, 12:34 PM

yeah I think all or nothing is a good policy, the little taste of excitement from the one bet could push him back into the lifestyle again.

sherie · 01-26-2005, 12:35 PM

No exceptions for your "friend" ;)

Fabuleux · 01-26-2005, 12:36 PM

That friend you are talking about, you can only see him in a mirror right?

BIGTYMER · 01-26-2005, 12:36 PM

A friend.. pffft!! lmao. The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Mack · 01-26-2005, 12:36 PM

Best thing for your "friend" is to give up watching sports for a year. Stop following it. I'm sure there is something else he could fill his time with.

boneprone · 01-26-2005, 12:37 PM

You guys do realize its the Pats right?

David! · 01-26-2005, 12:38 PM

If you had a drinking problem, would you make an exception?
1 little exception leads to another and another

SetTheWorldonFire · 01-26-2005, 12:38 PM

I'm going for the first black quaterback to win the superbowl.

But that's gonna be hard to beat.

Thrawn$ · 01-26-2005, 12:39 PM

Gambling is so good, dont stop it yo
but dont put your money on Patriots

davethetruth · 01-26-2005, 12:40 PM

I quit gambling after Vegas and haven't even bought a lotto ticket since.

I've thought about it and I'm not betting on the Pats even though I've been a fan for years!

Maybe if I had the money I'd feel differently, but I've just decided that I'll end up fucking myself over in the long run if I make that bet.

Doug Williams is playing??

sicone · 01-26-2005, 12:45 PM

I think your 'friend' should send me half the money. Its a win/win situation. Your 'friend' still has 5k instead of none.. and I then also have 5k instead of none

fuck yah .. its the pats. thats just easy money, not gambling.

boneprone · 01-26-2005, 12:45 PM

My friend thinks this is a Lock Bet.. And that no way the Pats can loose...

I mean "lock" is a pretty sure thing isnt it? And the Pats, seem to be who'd Id pick strange enough if I were a betting man..

Which Im not anymore of course.

Your "friend" said he was going to stop gambling... made it a statement of fact.

The question your "friend" has to ask himself... is he a man of his word or not?

What would you do?

I mean "locks" only come once in a blue moon..

Should he go for it??

I mean when you fall off a horse you get back on it. Ya dont sit there in the mud and feel sorry for yourself do ya??

Ya get back on the thing, and ride it guns blazing and go for the throat..

Ya gotta stay agressive.

boneprone · 01-26-2005, 12:52 PM

My friend hates to loose.
When he sees an oppertunity to fuck em up he gets pumped..

Its hard to calm em down..

Ill try though.. Try very hard..

uno · 01-26-2005, 12:53 PM

I'm not sure if you are joking or being serious. Even starting this thread shows the reservations you have of it. Don't seek approval for your bad habits on GFY, it won't turn out well.

boneprone · 01-26-2005, 12:53 PM

My friend just told me that he can buy a point.. So its pat minus 6 points..

Unless the Pats win of course right?

boneprone · 01-26-2005, 12:55 PM

Uno..
I wish you were up here in Portland.

You could help get my friend's mind off things and take em to the stripclub like you did for me in Vegas..

Now that was fun!

sumphatpimp · 01-26-2005, 12:55 PM

you have an insurance policy on the pats QB not getting hurt in the first quarter? or their prize reciever?
shit happens.

only "lock" in life is death and taxes.

No fun at all.

But Ill relay the message to em.. You may be onto something.

BradShaw · 01-26-2005, 12:57 PM

Boneprone, make an exception. You only live once. If you win, I want my 20% though.

Yep..
Pats Minus 6..

The normal line is Pats minus 7..

But I, I mean he plans to buy a point to make it -6..

boneprone · 01-26-2005, 12:58 PM

It would look something like this if he chooses to accept the bet.

1) BET ID=XXXXXX
Straight Wager
10000.00/7407.41
Patriots(NewEngland)
Eagles(Philadelphia) 02/06/05 (18:30 ET)
Patriots(NewEngland) -6 (-135)
Bought 1.0 point(s)

Brad.. If you were a betting man, who would you take?

I know your buddy Ron likes them Eagles, and I do too.. But this is the big dance and my money says the Pats will take it..

I've never been to the pacific NW. Maybe I'll stop up there some time when I don't have school to annoy the piss out of you, Brett, and a few people up in Vancouver.

boneprone · 01-26-2005, 01:10 PM

Ok..
Ive told my friend not to do it.

He's pretty contained as of now..

He almost did it, not to say he wont later.. But for now he's contained his fire in doing so and falling off the wagon.

Im gunna try to get him just to watch the game, and not wager on it..
