Got buried in all sports

Have no clue what to do now

It was not my fault

Good Luck

you can't quit coach....

i remember when i had one bad week and wanted to quit for a while and, you talked me out of it and, you did. turned out i got all my losses back plus 6dimes on top of that.

this is your week JJ, i can feel it. so, go hit the streets and, make some $$$$

[picantel]

hmm 19/20. actually I was at one time except #20. I did go to GA for awhile and obviously I did not quit gambling my I changed the way I gamble. I set a parameter and I do not go beyond it. I no long gamble any money that is suppose to go to bills. I do not borrow to gamble. Gambling is no longer the #1 priority in my life(sex is now err haha close but I love disney). When I win big I do not go nuts with the money. I often pay months ahead on bills and credit cards. Right now I have like $200 in cc debt only which is nice. Basically I gamble to pay for disney trips for the family.

NFL and NHL killed me this week-end. Think I lost 11 units. You and I should turn touts and sell our picks to fade.

Two to fade for the money

Max

Edit: and with that post, I became a senior member. Do I get a t-shirt or something?

[clonecat]

JJ,

I think it is time to come out of retirement. An 12 hour break from betting is long enough.

Get back up on that horse.

[picantel]

My biggest hits JJ, aside from fading you, have come from 3 team 10pt teasers.

[JimmyRad]

Fezzik, steviey, even JJ. Scary stuff

[bigboydan]

seems like about a week before one of the 4 major sports in the USA starts, the squares seem to cash in that week before for some reason i've noticed.

Maybe not, but I don't think you answered those questions honestly.

I would say if you do gamble play the parlays its cheaper and has nice payoffs.

[natrass]

Sell the short sleeved mink jj ... or pawn it and get it back with your winnings ... its winter now anyhow.

[Senator7]

Anyone else here think JJ would be perfect as a tout?

1. He loves to brag about how good he is and how he's a pro.

2. He could use the money.

3. He would no longer be losing money with his plays. Other people would do that for him.

I think you should consider it JJ. Get a bankroll together, find 3 or 4 sales guys and you're on your way. You'll never have to give blow jobs for anything again. As a matter of fact, you could probably buy yourself some pretty nice blow jobs with all the money you'd make from the squares who use services. I'm sure AK, raiders, and slugger could help you out. Just trying to help you out son...

[Quarm]

but bragging on the internet is easy, if only half of the shit he posted here is true...
oh well you know, no need to go over the same shit again and again :-P

Bad advice, parlays are sucker bets....period.

I know a few suckers in town. I always tell them to stay away from the parlays. Do they listen? No.

Well, the payoff is great....I always hear that. Stay away people.

[smoothsuave]

Maybe it was beginners luck but I hit two and it was the second week I played. Great payoff

[onlòóker]

Good job.
But they arent cashed very often.
May I ask how many teams were on each?

[smoothsuave]

I had a 5 team at 20
and a 3 team 100
=$,$$$
The best part was that I didnt even know it until I seen my balance

[onlòóker]

I bet that balance was nice after those hits. Again, good job.

[smoothsuave]

Yeah one of those weekends, this week is looking tough
Ever since I started playing the 3 team 10 pt teasers the normal spreads look risky, I have also started playing halfs and in prog quarters. Trying to make smaller bets since I am on the up

[jjgold]

Parlays are sucker bets but if your just betting for fun why not as theya re exciting type bets where you do not need lots of cash to stay in action.

[bigboydan]

parlys are not a very good bet no matter if you win a few in a row or not IMO

[picantel]

they may be sucker bets JJ but I am winning with them and you are losing without them. Course, if you cannot pick 1 straight up I can understand how 3+ would be beyond your abilities. I would ask you to bow down before the master but you may take it the wrong way.

[jjgold]

Piker they will get you in the long run but good job hitting them

take it easy, coach. hope you can take a short break, re-group, then kill the books

[Nicky Santoro]

i wish i took a break 1.5 yrs ago, and didn't bet since.... i'd be worth a lot more than today..

[jjgold]

Back in game, definately lost a lot since that thread started but like my capping the last 4 weeks or so.
