Admitting you have a problem is the first step.
If you want to gamble but do it smart and make money from it, then be a bookie or get involved with a sports book site. The people who bet are suckers, the odds are stacked against them no matter how much studying they do or how much of an edge they think they have. When they do win (the lose more often than they win) they just lose it all back and then some.
If you were the "house" you could still be involved with gambling but at least profit from it.
Even when I made 30K+ a week, I couldn't bring myself to betting more than a couple hundred a weekend or spending more than a couple hundred at the casino. I don't care how much money you make, when you lose a lot of money it makes you sick. If you work hard to make that money it makes you even more sick to work so hard just to piss it away. If you spend hours doing research and studying trying to get an edge, and you bet a lot of money and still lose you even more sick because not only did you still lose a lot of money but you lost a lot of time.
I need to get a few video poker machines. Now that is a kick ass investment, allows you to still be involved legally with gambling and you make a TON of money from them. If you want to buy a couple machines here and get them making money hit me up.
oppps you got me... i didn't check the date. Perhaps you should have quit back then I bet you would have a lot more money now if you did. Well placed bump considering he just lost 9K last night.
