So today I lost 5k to gambling :(

Nope. Americans look down on betting but it's starting to turn around. The UK is exactly where I was thinking of when I made that statement because my friends tell me over there placing a bet is like buying a drink - just a basic thing no one gets bytchy about. Congress shut down online gambling for poker a few years ago and shyt really hit the fan. Now they and major leagues like the NBA are talking about legalized sports betting for places other than Vegas.

That's exactly what it's like. I always lived within 10-15 minutes walking distance of a betting shop and once you're 16 it's legal to gamble in stores or online. I find it hard to comprehend what you're saying right now. Are you saying there are places where betting is illegal in the US?

i had 3k on the warriors -9.5 at home vs bulls


bulls won straight up in overtime.

damn that's fukked up

warriors been my go to squad

they started fukking up this last week tho think they was shaving points

I remember that game though I think they came back and covered like 3 straight after that night lol

gambling is my 2nd job. fukk what these nikkas talking bout. when I get home from work I clock right back in

Mine was $400 on Gators moneyline against the Bulldogs in college bball. Total square bet and it was dead at tip-off. Only time in my life I've seen technical free throws shot before the game even tipped because the Gators dunked during the pre-game lay up line. That's when I knew my shyt was cooked

WTF????????

Yes. Sports betting is legal but frowned upon. There are also restrictions and certain things like online gambling (for poker especially) are illegal. Basically, the US is backwards when it comes to the entire sports betting industry because we don't know shyt.

Edit: To clarify, sports betting is legal with registered Sports books in places like Vegas and Atlantic City. But placing bets with random bookies is illegal.

sports betting is dumb as shyt. Learn to count cards and take your money to the casino and play blackjack. I've practically made that my secondary job bringing in an extra $500 a week. Been up on the casino for 2 years now.

play daily fantasy sports(google fanduel)....it will feed your gambling hunger....i spend maybe 50 dollars a week...up about 500 this season

Flipped 50 into 900 once, felt like the king,went to the casino lost it all. Should've kept betting

Not 100% but better than the alternatives. Both are games of skill (craps is too) so if you're going to play games for $$ go those routes.

picked up 6k off a 500 buy in this weekend

ive been on rolls where ive won 17-18k in a 2-3 day span.... but i've also dropped 8-9 in a sitting. usually when i'm drunk playing some dumb shyt like baccarat.

craps is my game... BJ don't work because you have to depend on other players... and it's a depressing ass game

golden touch craps cuz... changed my life

 

[LV Koopa]

other players at the table have pretty much no effect on your BJ hand. The most they can do is slow the game down.

 

[dterpsss]

But if you do continue to gamble then do it because you think you have an edge somewhere, don't do it to chase losses, thats a one way street to ruin

Here is a twitter account I follow for up to the second news

unless u playing with some dumb fukks who never played before,this is completely false. If thats the case,u just move to the next table.

its a gamble the type of players you'll get at every table.... I've seen dumb nikkas staying on 12+ against a 10 too many times

for my money if I am gonna play bj, its gonna be head up or nothing

I have an addiction too

I was schemin on a watch
Dreaming on a yacht
Background sounds of money jingling from out the slot
Thinking on a plot
Drown my face until the bar close
Two months late on the rent plus the car note
Beyond purchase
Man without a purpose
Wood circle wrapped in velvet
While I watch the chips slide across the surface
Cards on the table watch the facial expressions
Turning nervous
...All I want is a taste
Got dealt a nine and doubled down
All I need is an Ace
Seem like the bottom of the bucket is my home base
Born to lose while I watch the work circling the room
bytches pass, I get a whiff of the perfume
It's like I'm laying with my back on the street
A little run will get me back on my feet
Sit at the table put me back on my seat
Diggin' in my pocket all I felt was my jeans
