I bet on the Patriots literally for the first time ever yesterday. I had them +7 as part of a teaser where a push lost and I nailed my other picks. Everyone was wondering how the Steelers managed to beat the Patriots by a TD, little do they know it's because I had good money riding on the game.

 

Thank you. If you're really unlucky at gambling, please bet on the Patriots this coming week too.  :thumbsup:

If you lost 500K you could probably afford it...

Unfortunately there are people who lose money, sometimes big money, who can't afford it.

All relative. Prolly less to him than my $100 moneylines bets are to me. 

 

BTW, good day to be an underdog moneyline bettor yesterday.. hey, that’s me!

 

Only a complete degenerate would waste that much money on betting.

Makes me feel better about my $1000 Super Bowl square that only hit for the 1st quarter once in the 17 years I've been playing it.  

 

(that it drives my wife nuts that I continue to play it makes it worth it)

I’m betting on a third poster in this thread using the mis-phrase “could of” in a sentence.  Help me get there!

 

I don't know when this became something that's so widespread, but it's hideous. :unsure:

Only a complete degenerate bets more than he can afford to lose gambling...HUGE difference. Money Mayweather is said to be worth at least $1B...so he is betting appx .001% of his net worth when strking a $1M on a game...dude who makes a $1000 bet with a net worth of $1m...same percentage of net worth. Neither degenerate in my mind

 

Now the dude who makes a $200 bet but doesn't have enough to cover car insurance if he loses??? That's a degenerate. Amount of the bet means nothing

He could of bet on the Bills 100 times.

 

Not to be the grammar Nazi, but this needs to be corrected: "could have".

Honestly, I don't understand the appeal of gambling, at all. Outside of maybe betting a dollar or two on a billion-dollar lottery ticket once a year.

 

It seems wasteful.

It's usually not a good idea to call people "degenerates" who do something you readily admit you don't understand.  And lottery tickets aren't gambling -- they are, literally, the equivalent of throwing money in the garbage can.

I said I don't understand it's APPEAL. Try englishing sometime.

 

I understand how it works. But please, go on and continue with your ill-informed responses.
