What have you done with the other 15%?

Are you good with money and can afford to spend it recklessly?

Dave, can you imagine Mr. Vince Goodrum, CSN, MFT, HPP, CEO, rolling into a casino!!!

He's a high roller! They probably roll out the red carpet for him. I can only imagine him pulling up in his Mercedes Benz!

Play the national lottery when it’s on (wed and sat) just one line and only keep doing it as it’s numbers we picked and sort of feel stuck putting it on in case we stop and they ever came up otherwise would have jacked it in years ago. Never gamble in any other way

Mr. Goodrum would likely pick up Mr. Basile and they would go cruisin' around and then head to Gold's Gym in California. Afterward, they would go out for a nice dinner in order to ensure they do not miss their 30 minute window of opportunity. Afterwards, they would go back to the Marriot for........well, we will keep that for another time.

Football. Good money to be made from inplay markets.  Barca at 0-0 at the hour mark was well worth 50 quid at 4/5. Easy 40 profit and then similar on the Benfica game that just finished

Vince is at a whole other  level.

I've been talking with Coach to see if he will send Vince some tshirts to wear on his YouTube channel. Coach is nervous that something like that would cause exponential growth and his company wouldn't be able to handle it.

Honestly is a few I’d help if they needed anything, problem being nobody would know as I wouldn’t tell anyone I’d won the lottery if I ever did and would still claim to be hard up

When I realized I am not winning on dice and blackjack casinos, I end up stopping my gambling adventure, almost promptly. I do gamble only twice to once a week as I really like playing craps here. But I never rput my money on stake as I know houses always win:)

The only way you are winning in a casino these days is if you're getting comped and playing perfectly, eg 10% back on losses. Free or very cheap food and drink and hotel rooms help.

Anyone hitting the casino regularly who says they are winning are full of shit. The only exception would be a world class poker player.

Yes, all speculation is gambling.  Playing the market is actually more risky because you have no control over the market or what individual stocks will do.  With gambling you have total control over your money unless you are compulsive.

I started betting sports as a sophomore in high school and just this year started playing baccarat online and in casinos.  I never play the lottery and no longer mess with the stock market.

+23 ($2300) units on my bookie but i haven't been active since 2/1.  Don't mess with casinos, given odds favor the house, so what's the point?  Play one PowerBall ticket every couple of weeks.     

Do you even Statistics?

the only way you can get 99% positive is to play the difference between 2 bookies which is time consuming and you need lay 2 big beats to get the 1-2% return.  you could look at it as part of your portfolio. anyway i was up almost 4k at 5dimes but cashed out. just left $14. i just don't have the time.  either you do it casually or gamble.

so you think you can beat the professional odds makers basically.

keep dreaming.... you will be broke in no-time with that attitude. Then again you probably already are.

gambling is for fools.

If you middle two bookies and lose, you still pay vig, no?

For instance, if the total is 44 with one, and 46 with the other, bet $100 over 44, $100 under 46, hoping to middle.  Unless it's 45 or a push, you lose $10.

Or is that not what you meant?

The poorest people buy lottery tickets. I find no thrill in gambling because I understand basic math.
