Do You Gamble?

No one bets on pre-season games unless you’re an action gambler.

There are too many variables such as taking out the starting quarterback after only a few series, withholding starters, playing the second-team defense

Well I do, and this is the first pre season bet I've lost this year out of 6. And honestly, when the odds are so high because of the variables, it's one the best chances to win good money because I only needed to bet 10 to win 100 rather than bet 10 to win 15/20 or something.

 

i see no point in choosing to. i do not understand the appeal of 'bling', and have no wish to.

things to make things with and things to make things out of, for free, yes, that would be nice,

but gaming for money isn't about that, its about the nonsense of excitement.

if that's someone else's happiness, i'm not stopping them,

but i can't think of one single reason i would want it to be mine.

 

those aren't really variables, they're basically guarantees. especially for a game 4.

basically betting on this week is just betting on who has more depth.

 

I don't gamble at all. But I love going to Vegas. There's plenty of fun things to do there without dropping a single quarter in a slot machine.

Wait....do they still have quarter slots?

I crashed a wedding in Vegas a couple of weeks ago. My wife's cousin eloped. We found out about it and crashed the wedding.

I eloped too, but that was in Lake Tahoe. Nobody in my wife's family can keep their mouths shut....thirty people crashed our wedding. We weren't local either, everybody who crashed it came from Los Angeles and Boston. That was over 20 years ago.

 

No that's the thing. That's what the bookmakers do to set the odds. But look at all the awesome upsets that happened compared to the odds. And that's why betting on pre season can net a lot of money.

Regular season games could have a team at 1.70 and the other at 2.30. But pre season might be 1.50 - 2.75. Given the variables mentioned, selecting the latter team to win and multiplying that bet with two other outside teams could easily get you up to 14/1. And since it's pre season and who knows what's going to happen and who's going to perform, you never know.

I don't bet huge so usually my winnings just cover bigger bets if they don't pull through but I dare say if I multi the 5/5 I did get, I'd of have a bit of money because I specifically picked high paying outside teams to win, and they did.

 

I do a weekly poker night with the guys, and I have a soft spot for blackjack.

 

gambling is against my religion

 

Life is a gamble

religion is a gamble.

 

You’re right it’s a regular crapshoot because they all can’t be right

Yeah, actually I enjoy playing poker and blackjack in 32Red Casino.
I read about this casino here, there are plenty of different casinos where people can play different games without any problems.
And I also like to play roulette, fascinating!

 

Every time I step outside my door.

 

True. I mean just look at how many different christian denominations exist, many of which absolutely contradict themselves on the most fundamental points:

 

Actually I wasn't done. I exceeded the text limit...:

 

it is easy to identify the true religion. out of all the religions which one is doing God's Will by preaching the Good News of the Kingdom?

 

none of them.

every 'god' is a name we've invented, for a universality greater then ourselves, that is real enough, but about which, we know nothing, no matter how many books we may print, pretending to, no matter how many people may claim to believe the same or simular things, as each other.

 

Yeah, I really enjoy chilling out weekly in different casinos in my local area. But though I think that online casinos with different online games can be even much more convenient and fun without a need to spend your time to get to the casino. It is awesome especially if you live in the city or village where there is no casino

 

Years ago I worked briefly for a bookmaker. First day at work he told me with a wry smile 'the bookie always wins in the end'.

My experience of seeing punters get fairly big wins on the horses, only to gamble again and loose the lot confirmed that hypothesis.

A mug's game.
