THing is though, 300 bucks IS a small wager in the grand scheme of things. The guys who draw attention are betting 4-5 figures a hand, and even that doesn't get more than a glance
To be fair though, that shyt isn't fun because at that point you're playing with serious money that could be used for much better things. For a good while I used to bet $300-500 a night, now for most people that ain't shyt, but for a college kid who worked part time, that was like gambling two pay checks a night.
The days I won, it was pure euphoria—for me, the greatest high imaginable. I can't tell you how amazing it feels to win whatever you perceive as "good money", it's amazing feeling. You qualify it by comparing it to what you know. For me, that was like 3-4 weeks of work in 2 hours of fun. I could buy fly shyt I normally couldn't afford, I could pay for a couple classes, etc.
The days you lose, though? Sobering, crushing, devastating—whatever adjective you wanna use, it feels like hitting rock bottom.
I first started betting because it was fun, then I realized I could really profit off of it and upped my wagers more than I should've.
Gambling
should be fun. Fun for a millionaire is betting a couple hundred, a couple grand, maybe a couple hundred thousand, but fun for a working man shouldn't be more than like 5 or 10 percent of your total bankroll.
Because even the best cappers in the world go on cold streaks. EVERYBODY at some point is going to lose. EVERYBODY. If you execute money management, you CAN profit long term if you know what you're doing.
Because the highs and lows nearly destroyed me, I decided I'd never play with more than I could afford to lose. Now I stick to no more than $25-$30 bucks a night tops and even then I get just as pissed when I lose or just as happy when I win as if I had won or lost my old triple digit amounts.
It's shyt like that that realizes that someone like myself doesn't bet for the money, but rather, I bet for the high and as twisted as it seems, the low that comes with losing.
It's like feeling you can control fire, and the euphoria that comes with controlling it is worth risking the incineration of losing.
