WWAW gambling?

Uncle Floyd

Nice try, Floyd.
Never got into sports betting but I enjoy a little dice, a little cards, a lot of not telling my wife how much I lost, even more of not telling her how much I won.

Any other degenerates on here? Cards? Slots? Sports? Cockfights?
 
No. I used to bet a little bit on sports and would mostly break even but when you see the profits bookies make you have to be dumb to think you can really win. Anyone who does get on a streak has their account closed.

If i gamble i cannot stop, especially online gambling with no physical money, my perception of money totally changes, normally i'm quite prudent with spending money, but when i gamble all logic goes out the window.

So i banned myself from all online gambling and avoid it like the plague.

Norm describes the slippery slope quite well.

Come over and we’ll have nachos. And some beer.
I like the wheel, kino, slots and blackjack. Blackjacks my favorite but I hardly ever hit a hot streak, I might beat the dealer on a couple hands and then get hammered the next 5. I was supposed to hit the casino this weekend but my friend had to cancel on me and I don’t typically like going by myself. I usually spend more when I don’t have someone there to check me

Still spreading the O&A virus
I still remember listening to Stern live in Vegas in 2003 or 2004. Artie was at the height of his gambling addiction. Likely throwing away millions on the NFL alone every year. They did a contest where Artie had to hit a pitch from a female baseball player because Artie said on air that "no girl could strike him out". And a female softball player said she could easily strike Artie out. If Artie got a hit he got $50K. If he struck out the woman got the money from the casino who was sponsoring them being out in Vegas.

Artie got a clean hit and got the $50K in cash. But Artie told Howard that if he won, he would put all of the money on one roulette spin for a 50/50 chance at doubling his money for nothing. So a roulette wheel is brought out by the casino. Artie says "coin flip for $100K baby!!" crowd is going crazy. Artie places his $50K on black. Crowd is going nuts. They spin the wheel for the 50/50 chance at getting $100K. And it lands.....on......green. Not even on red. And literally everyone including Artie just laughed.

This is the luck of 99% of gamblers.

All my buddies are the generation that thinks its cool to do coke and have a gambling addiction because of Barstool Sports. I enjoy some sports gambling myself but Im way more conservative and have a strict rule of $100 a month to gamble with, if that.

My one buddy in college would blow all his money gambling, and work delivering pizza just to get back to $0. What an awful way to live. I actually think its a serious problem among my generation that many dont realize. You can lose everything at the touch of a button now, and I’ve seen it be the downfall of many a young man

My senior year of track all of the senior sprinters used to sit around and bet on distance races. We would place bets with abstract value not monetary because it was all a joke and no one actually gave a shit about winning, it was just a way to stay entertained for multiple heats of 2 mile races. I only ever made one guy pay up because he was comically deep in the hole. Other than this wild and crazy tidbit of my past I've never been much of a gambler.
