everything in life is a gamble when you think about it. I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s dirty but many people (family, friends, coworkers) definitely think lowly of it. That is why I keep my gambling to myself for the most part. Some of my friends are probably confused when I am cursing off during an random mariners/ athletics game when we are out at the bars. I usually just say that guy is on my fantasy team or something savvy like that though. It&#x27;s almost better to keep it to yourself. Nothing good can come from telling people about your bets. It get olds being next to the guy whining and crying about his bets or bragging about his rare wins, lucky parlay hit, etc. I am too baked to right another word hopefully this ramble made sense

Great take Messier, I have full disclosure with my wife, she knows everything.  But it is odd, not being able to elaborate the highs &amp; lows to friends.

It is disrespectful if you lose. If your fucking off money then it&#x27;s shit. But it&#x27;s not as "dirty" as fucking two person at the same damn time.

Not as dirty as what the kids in college are doing now-a-days in parties. They do this thing (dudes and chicks) where they pick numbers out of a hat. Then the all get bottomless and line up in a row on their hands and knees (face to ass) - its called the "Human Centipede" and they have to lick the shit box of the person in front of them. And they do this for I guess entertainment. And this is the future. WTF???

I only feel dirty when I lose after going against my voices in my head that told me that I knew better.

But I would not call it dirty but losing any amount of money you really do not need to lose will make you feel like a dirty scumbag.

But the way I see it. The ones who do not gamble also think I have a gambling problem when I am winning. You cant make everyone happy so I am fine with being a dirty MF.

It can&#x27;t be sinful when it isn&#x27;t mentioned in the bible as a sin. Also, how is it any different then trading on wallstreet? You asses data and take a risk by making a selection based upon your assessment. Sports betting and stock trading are no different in that regard, yet one is glamorized and one is vilified.

If you feel dirty you arent doing it right and should stop. It can become a problem if you let, as it is very addictive. If you stay within your means and use it as a hobby/enjoyment, there is nothing wrong with it. However, the previous statement is hard to do. Guess I&#x27;m lucky as gambling has never caused me a problem.....other than the douche bags that pop up on covers every year.

I&#x27;m a firm believer everyone is addicted to something. Some people have food, some shop, some are facebook addicts, religion addicts etc.. People lump addiction to what people consider "bad" or morally wrong normally. Strip club addiction, sex/porn addiction, gambling addiction etc..  &#xD;&#xA;Gambling is fine for 95 percent of people. They have fun do it and move on. The other 5 percent may or do become compulsive. I&#x27;m sure someone is studying why that is. &#xD;&#xA;The strange thing I&#x27;ve found is lots of people I know and would consider compulsive gamblers are upstanding members of the community and have a good career. One friend of mine blows every extra dollar he has on gambling to the tune of high five digits every year. He has a 6 figure job and gets huge bonuses that are spent before he even gets them on credit card related gambling debt. &#xD;&#xA;I&#x27;d be the first to say if I don&#x27;t watch it I become a compulsive gambler. Been there done that. Betting games every night, some I had no idea about just to have "action". Thinking at work about who is playing that night and what my "play" was going to be etc.. Not a healthy place to be mentally for anyone.&#xD;&#xA;If it feels dirty or you are ashamed of it something is off and you should stop. Your "inner voice" or whatever you want to call it normally steers you in the right direction when it comes to these things...&#xD;&#xA;Good luck whatever you decide...

No, not dirty. It is just weird knowing that a huge number of people frown upon it. Like some people think gambling is as bad as having an orgy, with guns and needles laying all over the place  Those people make me laugh...but na, not dirty. Just gotta be careful with who you broadcast it to. GL fellas
