Serious question

After many years of losing money to gambling, I have finally gained enough experience to beat the game(sports,poker and casino mostly for me).

The question is, if you had to do it all over again...would you gamble?

I'm way ahead, even counting those damn lottery tickets I waste money on. So yes.

I am not a material person so I like to spend my money doing things.

That said I also hate to lose.

So yes, but If I couldnt figure out a way to win I would find something else to do.

No. My life is currently a mess because of it. And Im up.

Horse racing was my downfall.
If I could have stayed away from the track, things would have been much better for me. That is my tip of the day...STAY AWAY FROM RACE TRACKS!!!

Well all gambling was fun for me. The first time I went to Belmont Stakes, I picked THE WINNER in 7 consecutive races. In a drunken beligerant rant, I claimed to Bob Costas that I am Matt _____ and I am a horse racing GOD!

Seriously though the online version of this game was my downfall...sure I lost a bit of loot, but it made me hate spending time with my great great girlfriend so I could get better. So I thought I wasn't into her. Now I'm beating the 15-30 for 2.5, and I don't have my girl anymore.

I'd much rather have my girl. I began a long post of this, but I shelved it with all the QLC and people whining nonsense.

Insert QLC joke here.

That's funny. I paid a good chunk of my college tuition from race winnings. I actually think it's one of the more beatable forms of gambling.

Find a girl that likes to play poker.

How's it a mess because of it if you're up? And why quit if you're up?
