I think I have a gambling problem

I signed up for sportsbook.com on bloody anus's recommendation even though I said I wouldn't bet on the playoffs and then proceeded to lose $70 on their blackjack game and would've lost more but was denied another deposit

you'll have $40 more to waste soon!

oh shit good point

I am way too sceptical of those gambling sites. You're telling me that they are all 100% on the up and up? At least at a real casino, I can see the cards, and if I'm showing 14, the casino can't go in and make it so my next card is an 8. On those online casinos, why can't everything be rigged? I just don't trust 'em.

If I were into sports gambling, I'd use those places, but never for card games or even worse, slots.

see that was my problem. I also said "I'm never gambling online", but when i signed up, it was just so tempting. also, I was up at least $150 and I never know when to stop

I hate gambling. I went to AC when I was 21 to see what it was like, and I just cant get into it. I work too hard for my $$ to lose it on a bet.

The Sleeper · 01-04-2005, 07:21 PM

maybe I don't work hard enough for my $$$

The Sleeper · 01-04-2005, 07:21 PM

also, I've been to AC 4 times since I turned 21 and it's 3 hours away

it's called a stop loss. When you are up $150, stop once you are only up $100. Have some self-discipline. And realize that you will always lose gambling unless you read that book from the MIT guys.

Do you go on the Old Lady Tour Bus since you don't drive?

The Sleeper · 01-04-2005, 07:23 PM

no I take the NJ transit, but I might take those tours now since they give you money to play with

Maybe you can pick up an old broad on social security, if you play your cards right

The Sleeper · 01-04-2005, 07:25 PM

I've been to AC once, and it was the only time I ever won gambling. I won $500 in about 45 minutes playing craps and I don't even know how to play. It payed for my room, my food, and drinks for the rest of the weekend. And then I stopped gambling.

I've gone on three cruises, and had three trips to Vegas and I've lost money gambling every single time.

HedCold · 01-04-2005, 07:26 PM

how hard is it to take nj transit down to AC? when i looked on the map quick one time it looked like i had to switch off at to many places

The Sleeper · 01-04-2005, 07:28 PM

there's a bus that goes there straight from port authority, with one stop at toms river

I don't judge, I didn't mean to come off that way - it's just not for me. I don't even do lotto.

I hate losing so i try not to gamble, but I am pretty good when I do.
