I have many but I forget/block out many of mine because I move on like a emotionless robot when it comes to gambling on anything competitive. I think I could actually type all night 1-upping myself

But one recent was I walked 15.5 miles to a Indian casino in Pocola, OK to use a slot freeplay that expired that day at midnight.......I ended up only coming out ahead one order of french fries after cab fare home......Couldn't hardly walk for two days after

It's not even really about the money, it's about taking knowledge, preparation, combined with skill to win at whatever. Even though I am sometimes driven to solve financial hardships overnight. Instead of saving like a puss.


I get ballsy in desperate times and tend to take huge risks average citizens can't fathom to $olve problem$

Nothing like living on the edge

Whenever I'm at a Devils game with my cousin, we bet a beer on the "Mites on Ice" during intermission.  I always take the kids in the Red.

I've bet Madden simulation games.

I've bet skins on Hot Shots for the PS2 w/ a friend.

Good story about two degenerate gamblers on their way to work one morning. They see two businessmen running for a bus. One degenerate gambler says to the other " Do you want to bet which one of    those businessmen gets to the bus door first ? "  The other degenerate says " sure--but you pick ". So the other degenerate picks " the guy in the blue shirt ". When the businessman in the blue shirt loses the race to the bus, the loser degenerate gambler asks his friend how he knew this would happen. The winning degenerate gambler replies: " I didn't know who would get there first. I just knew you'd be wrong. "

Bet on Americas Cup back when Spirtsbook.com posted lines, New Zealand I enact to say for 100 and the boat broke down, thought I might get. A refund but the bet stands once the race begins. Look it up I was in the Kiwis.

I miss the guys who would stalk your tables and talk smack challenging you to big money heads up matches after you knocked em out of a tourney.

There was a guy 5 yard ago named Adam Lambert who I ended up piling about 1400 on only for him to lose it in the final 2 to some kid named kris Allen. What's so degenerate about this bet is that I'm not some trust fund baby whose parents are even in the same galaxy as the Forbes list. I was  an unemployed 20 college dropout who literally just finished blowing his entire life savings on food before making this bet. Though the money I used to bet was won with money I made winning small amounts in freeroll tournaments and then building that roll up in real money games, my net worth at the time was literally not $14. And better, I ended putting more on him as the odds got heavier each passing week. I think I made 7 or 8 bets total on the fruit cup.  5 yrs later much older and wiser, I realize that this kind of bet isn't the kind of thing anyone can be that sure of, unless you were literally the one having it rigged.

I can't believe even a pretty heavy duty drinker could handle this. I've seen someone do half, but a whole liter?  

I know you were a professional at one time, but I can't believe you got that done.

I bet on Kris Allen for one reason and one reason only:

He was straight. 

And look who's doing the voting on American Idol: it's your self-proclaimed 'Apple Pie' American voters.

He had NO SHOT at beating Allen in that final and I was shocked he made it to the top 2.

Wish we could have talked about it before you did that (the Lambert kid was amazingly talented so I know why you dumped on him).

pee wee football games during my tenure as an undergrad at bama.

me and my roomate would make a pretend line and bet the games.. they showed them on some local tv station in alabama.. was funny as the games usually aired as repeats on sunday mornings and would already be half drunk still.

Beer pong..  many bets on that too

Me and my friends in our senior year of highschool had a pool going about how much this one fat chick weighed. What was so crazy about her is that as a freshman she was hot, and was about 5-10 pounds over weight. By senior year, she was a solid 50-100 pounds over weight.

We paid her friends a few bucks to put her on a scale one night after they were drinking and she was passed out drunk.

I lost like 35$

I also played one of my friends dad in Madden for 100$ when I was 13...money was on the table

I'm 99% sure the guy was a drug dealer too. He was one of those guys who would put Vick at WR back in like Madden 03.

I'm pretty sure he let me win, even though I had trashed him before a few times for 5$, $10 but I was feelin like a boss after that
