I do not whant everyone I know Family and friends to know I wager,for good reason some people just frown upone it and yet others would use it to bring you down, staments like " he did not buy a new car this year," hes a big gambler!" so over the years I have kept my plays close and a very few guys that I know that play and keep what we say between us.

The DILEMMA
A Family member (call him Bill) playing Black Jack at Mohegan Sun and ask me why I was so interested in the Col football game I said I have a few bucks on it.. how much he said $300
I said ..this guy has never played a sports game in his life ...hook me up I whant to play I the ass I give him my mans # now the monster has been created hes calling the 800 # paying for picks. he wins big in Nov. at thanksgiving he annonces to the whole family that he has found the Holy Grail its EZ this guy calls me I bet a G or 3 per game. then it comes ASK JIM HE GAMBLES.

NOW
Things have not gone as well for Bill of late he called last night WHO DO YOU LIKE..answer with a ? WHO DOSE YOUR GUY LIKE... he said TAKE THE BEARS +3..( 3rd mistake). I said I am playing Wash...-3 you know my phone will be ringing Sat night... how do I get out of this one,and once I give him a loser it will be my fault!

    I've seen it happen alot. He will hit rock bottom by the bowl games and be broke. The worst thing that happened to him was he got a taste of winning. It is not for everone. You will be rid of the monster soon. Ohh don't loan him any money either you know what will happen.

    i have freinds call me all the time. just in the last week had 3 freinds call me , can you get a 300 bet on so and so.

    i wont give anyone my local, because i would feel responsible if they lose. i just tell anyone that asks to get a bet in

    my response" i do everything online now"
    even had a guy say good put my 300 on ravens .if they lose ill bring you the money over . then i have to explain its not that easy. because of depositing. and if he were to win. about withdrawals..

    pain in the ass. i tell to put 300 in a offshore, and leave me the fuck alone. now im pissed i just typed all this shit lol

    Interesting dilemna. My family knows that I play high-stakes poker.. About a year ago, my sister begged me to teach her the game. After a few months, she was a pretty fair player. Playing $1/$2 at the casino, she had some fun and held her own. A few months later, I find that she's playing online tournaments $100/$500 buy-ins. Needless to say, she ended up losing $30K and the rest of the family thinks it's my fault. For those of us that treat this as a business, or at least serious entertainment, those things rarely happen. For the novice, it's easy to get sucked in, and then chase like a sonofabitch. I guess it's human nature.

    i use the online excuse,i tell them i have to put it in online,and if u win it will take 2 weeks or so to get your money,or i say i dont have enough money in my acct to cover it,works very well.very rarely do i have someone ask me to put a bet in anymore,usually i hold it if its under 200 or so,kinda funny had a guy only lose 300 the other week and of course he says can ya wait for 2 weeks till i get my check,so i guess ill never be getting that money,he would have had his hand out right away if he would have won..same ol story differnt person..lol.

    I take anybody's bets.. I like the juice..it's like playing +110 all the time and the chances of that person winning is 50/50.. just like vegas.. "they take all bets and keep the lights on".. every time somebody places a bet with me, if im fading it, i take it mentally.. if i like their play, i place it online and bet along with them.. i tell them how much they have in credit ($100 for ex) chances are, they'll keep playing to where you never have to pay them cause along the line, they will lose it.. very rarely have i had anybody cash out...
