I put in 500 bucks at the start of last baseball season and as of the Super Bowl am up 10x. Just took three grand in winnings. Got 2k left to play with.

If you want a tip for that last big one to even up just send me a couple hunned and I’ll hook you up clean.

Because Andy Reid decided to go for it on 4th and 1 in the first. Instead of kicking the field goal. It screwed me out of 3000. frick him.

Do it during sex, that way it's the second most disappointing event of the day.

The year was 1989. I woke up severely hungover on New Years Day in the hole around $4,000 from football bets. I rolled the dice that day and won 10 games in a row to cut my losses down to around $1,000. I paid my bookie off and haven’t bet on a football game since.

Don’t be a pussy. A quick 5 team NBA parlay will get you right back in it.

Go to the casino, pick red or black and double down until you're back to even.

Since this has been suggested about 10 times, I’m pointing out that it does NOT work.

Then all of a sudden tossed his wallet out of the window. Went home and told his wife he lost his wallet and he thought someone stole it.



Why not just keep your wallet and still tell your wife you lost it? fricking idiot that guy is

I had a roommate who was in pretty bad to a couple of small time bookies and they refused to take his bets.He then placed a substantial bet with a guy that was the biggest and most hard core bookie in Atlanta.Made several bets on one MNF game (Winner,money line,over under, parlayed o/u with winner) and won every single bet to bail his arse out.Woulda been in some deep shite had he lost.

Not only that but betting banker or player on baccarat is the same as betting red or black on roulette but better odds because of no zero to deal with. Banker on baccarat actually has the highest odds in the entire casino so OP go and put $1500 on banker. You're welcome

Before I got married, I had booked two times. Once in college (selling blow and taking bets in college is literally printing money) and once out of college (down and out, DWI, needed some quick money...didn’t turn out well).
Anyway, wife knew this, but it was in the past. So, got married in 2017, broke, but we kept separate banking accounts. Success came in business, and I started gambling a bit last year. She sort of knew, but really had no idea.
Won a decent amount on football and soccer in Fall of 2018. Lost it back in Spring of 2019. Like $5k or so.
We have a kid in Oct of 2019, I tell her I’m done gambling, blah blah blah. Well, I wasn’t, and ended up losing $10k one weekend. I didn’t tell her, but I gave her my phone one night to pick out a dress I’d buy her, and go to sleep. I wake up, and she’s just staring at me. I’m like wtf???? She says, blah blah blah.
Long story short, I bought her a new car, and all is well. And I’ve stopped gambling.


Most entertaining post I've read on the OT in a while. I was going to bold the best parts, but it's honestly all gold.
