nicky santauro


keep up teh exercises pal nicky i think you are like me your minds racing all the time,and you like to talk about stuff,its amazing cause actually im pretty anti-social and very controlled in person,but its like you put a freakin pc in front of me its like food for my brain im energized all of a sudden knowing full and well the disease posting causes when you feel it running through your vains such a RUSH an addiction to say the least.
i appreciate your vids nicky you seem like a cool cat i understand your concepts on gambling it can ruin your life its a slow slow slow process to make money and it takes supiorer control of all aspects which is a known fact very few can accomplish.if i wasnt making it i sure as hell wouldnt be here so mabye our veiws might be diffrent on that part but its HARD yes.


nicky keep up the vids man i think its a good way for you to communicate and vital to the stimulus of the mind,i got to tell you when i first saw you break out that hockey stick jezus that was some funny stuff,and the next vid you slammed your pc on the bed i hope things turn out for you kep up the good work nicky these vids are educational for the new guy for sure,and also entertaining as well

Great video Nicky.....You know what, you are 100% me....No lie. It's so fvcking weird. Everything you said and have done is exactly the things I do. Everything. wow. Although, I still have hair and the girlfriend has not left yet. I do a good job of pulling it off behind her back which is hard to do. We went on vacation to relax and I would sneak to the pre-pay internet to bet games and watch them in Spanish while the girlfriend sat on the beach waiting for hours.....And tonight, the laundry, cleaning, and spending more time came up from her. I told her to shut-up and stop nagging. I'm mad at myself because she does everything for me and not to mention gorgeous. I needed SF to score one run and couldn't stay in one spot since I needed to check scores on the other tv and on internet. Oh well...I need to make it a Sunday thing only, but that's the day she likes spending time with me. I shouldn't be pushing her aside all the time. I have enough money, but guess what, it's never enough...f\*\*k ME.......

I feel sorry for Nicky, I know no one this bad
I am normal compared to him and I am a compulsive gambler like most here
Nicky is a pathalogical gambler which is the worst
I feel bad for this kid

It only controls the lives of those people who allow it to have control. I'm very well aware of addiction, and how strong of a pull it can have on a person whether you're talking heroin, gambling, cigarettes, alcohol, whatever. I've fought certain addictions myself. But in the end, the blame was on me, not the subtance or the activity. If something is controling your life, then take control back, just buck up, take responsibility and exercise self control, and get past it.

Nick-

Are we brothers or are you reading my past life story LOL. Everything you said I can relate. Now I treat it as a profession and thank God I stopped being so crazy. I know a new career for you - Comedian in Vegas. I HAVE NEVER laughed so much in my life!! I was absolutely in tears, literally crying trying to stop laughing. Seriously you would make a fortune in Vegas being a comedian, everybody could relate. You're hilarious, thanks for the great video to brighten up the day!!

Great video buddy! It is scary how much we are alike! I was watching it and I said that is me all the way. The only difference with me is I do go out with my girlfriend all the time but when we are out I do check scores on the phone in front of her.

Nicky great vid! i related to a lot of those stories. The on the cell phone. well actually it was a sports pager, in the movies I would press the backlight to check the scores and my wife asking "why do u keep looking at that?" Good examples I think most SBR members can relate to at one time or another. I love the D.R. I went to Punta Cana had a blast. Stay out of harms way Nick and keep the vids comming pal!

happy boy,

trust me, there is no diff between a pager and a phone. when your woman is telling her story and you need to check that pager, and you pick up the pager and start staring at it, while you are nodding your head pretending to listen.. keep nodding head.. yes.. yes.. aha ahah.. yes.. and then stare at pager at same time as her talking, then you see your team allowed 4 runs in bottom 9 to lose.. and you swear.. you think your woman doesn't know you are ignoring her.. pagers is exactly as bad as phones. i hate when i talk to friends and they are staring at pagers while i talk. it's disrespectful.. we are all sick..


boys, this was a cry for help.. i am a very sick man.. i am obsessed with this crap..there is no diff between me and a drunk.. look at me, i just woke up now, and i slept at 6 am.. only reason i just woke up is for aft baseball games, or i might have slept till 5 pm..boys, i am a loser. a drunk spends all day in a bar drinking. i spend all day in my room (103 deg) i gamble, and i watch sports.. at least the alcoholic gets out of the house and hangs at a bar and socializes. i dont..


boys, can you picture a bad a father/husband i'd make.. honey, we need diapers, go buy some. whaaaaaaaat.. you nuts, it's the freakin 9th inning. honey, how are you, how is your night.. fukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk, get the fck out of here, since you've come in the room, all my games are losing now.. you're fukkin bad luck.. get out.

how about if i have to drive my son to school at 7 am.. whaaaaaaaaaat... i just went to bed, i am sleeping.. what about having to pick him up... what if the cubs are tied at 3-3 in the 9th inn. NO WAY i am leaving the house..

boys, i think being single would be best for me.. i would make the worst husband/father..

boys, i am a sick man.. i need to quit and get a life.. asap..

i am happy some of you here were able to relate to this vid, cause you all can see how sick some of us are..

I feel great today. The sun is shining. The birds are singing. I think I'll have a giant steak tonight in Nicky's honor. This quitting gambling is a Godsend. Thank you, Nicky.

Nicky I think you need a xanax, but nonetheless great video. Hang in there you'll bounce back read a book on selfcontrol or go to a AA meeting or something. I am still anticaping the " life as a bookie video " and again hang in there Nick things will turn around.

Of course you love the Montreal Canadiens, you're from East LA, where everyone loves the Habs.

Sicky, your stories are getting sloppy, if you're going to make things up, you should be more consistent to be believable.

I have to admit that I have done the checking the scores thing alot.Finally realized that if I am going out I don't make any bets because I will worry about them if I don't know whats happening while I am out
