I think many people post on these forums because its the only place they feel comfortable talking about their gambling.

I'd say only about 2% of it is done outside the forum.

Right. I talk to nobody about this in the real world.

have a couple of bud's who like to root against my plays when we're out, but they are great for a "public" view - I normally ask their opinion and bet the opposite!!
Other than that nobody...

I'm pretty sure if you asked my friends to define me with five different single words gambling would be one of them.
 
Re: Do you discuss your sports betting with anyone outside the forum?

Yes, anyone that I know very well knows that I gamble. It's not something I am ashamed of and never will be. If someone doesn't like it, that's there problem not mine.

No matter how intelligent you might think your target layman might be, they are just not going to get it. Even if they do "get" some of what you are saying to them, nothing good will come from it.

Considering how much time I spend talking about gambling in a given day, I've got to talk to others about it or I'd have no human contact!

To clarify...the post above should have said "in-person human contact". When I reread it, it could imply that EOG folks are not human. Certainly not my intent!

If you post on gambling forums under some anonymours handle, and keep your gambling activities secret, shouldn't that set off warning bells in your head about where your life is heading?

Everybody seems to be a gambling genius but everybody wants to keep it quiet. Yeah, right.

Why isn't everybody shouting their gambling success to the mountaintops?

If you are capable of winning at gambling, why would you not tell the world?

I think I know why.
 
Re: Do you discuss your sports betting with anyone outside the forum?

Yes but it's not the only thing discussed. Have a core group of people hang out with, some gamble, some don't. Sometimes those who don't provide an insight that was not remembered or an alternate point of view and in both cases that's fine. Hard to believe but there is more to life than just gambling.

i had my parents here for Christmas and rooting for me on all my bowl plays. In the day, my grandfather used to book some when he owned a bar. Its in the genes. We Irish can be like that.

Come on gentlemen GAMBLING is a life style you dont turn it off and on its always ON. Sure all my associates bet sports and that is what we discuss. Does gambling lend its self to socializing and friendship I dont know?
