    @GriLo

     We are betting against the house an_roll_laughwe are not taking your money. Making you bet. Making you even be here in the forum. Wtf man wtf is wrong with u. I tried to be cool about it and get u to shut the app down lol but u really have some serious issues u need to deal with.  Anyone who has gambling problem isn’t on any of us. We aren’t taking from you or forcing you to do a damn thing.  I realize now your one of those guys who are looking for someone to blame because you couldn’t control yourself and has had a bad day experience with gambling.  You need to look in the mirror and say all the stuff you’re saying. And have some self accountability man. I’m not going to comment anymore because I now see exactly what this is lol.  I still wish u luck on realizing how wrong you are for this thread and hopefully u get some help because u have no control.  Peace

     Oh wow so that’s what it’s about an_roll_laughI should’ve know from the start. So many people love to blame others for their stupid mistakes. It’s truly sad but that’s the world we live in. They have always been around but I find even more than ever there are a lot more of them lol.

In fact, I will go further, the money won in betting, theft, is the same thing, it is cursed money that did not come from the fruit of your work and is charged double from you later. Do not spend 1 dollar that is not the fruit of your work, if you win for some time in betting, donate it to charities. But for the love of God, do not use this money for your personal expenses, it will take a high price with no future.

    Uhhhh...

    Last year I won 70+ units on NFL.  7 straight years winning similar amounts.

    I lost 36 units this year.

    I say this because your premise is incorrect.  People can and do win betting.  It is not a futile effort.  It is actually easy to make money sportsbetting.  Most people dont want to win.

    @Macwestie1

     Is your post merely an opinion or is it an 'ex cathedra' proclamation? 

    Anyone who promotes any form of censorship is an enemy of human freedom. Free America!!!

Money can only prosper if you create value for other people, whether through your capital or your service.

    What is prospering?  Never having a job and being able to spend my whole life doing what I want with my family?  No misfortunes, total peace, no high price paid here.  My life has been miraculous because of gambling.

    @vanzack

     lol i think it’s a lost cause vanzack lol. I tried to break it down before you even seen it. But someone stated he made a large wager so now I get what it’s all about. Just someone looking for someone to blame for a dumb move they made. That’s all it’s about.

     lol i think it’s a lost cause vanzack lol. I tried to break it down before you even seen it. But someone stated he made a large wager so now I get what it’s all about. Just someone looking for someone to blame for a dumb move they made. That’s all it’s about.

    Utterly ridiculous.

    Every dollar you make anywhere could be labelled the same thing.  Have a job at a corporation?  Guess what...  Someone paid too much for you products and you are benefitting.

    Its such a widespread flaw in human nature. 

    If you dont understand something that someone else is doing successfully:  99% will criticize, poke fun, troll.  But only 1% will try to learn and replicate.

    I have spent my life trying to learn from people smarter than me.  That is why I post here at covers.  When I see someone doing something successfully I always try to figure out how they do it.  I am always confused by people who simply say it isnt possible or throw shade - but I have come to learn it is the majority - and I guess I should be thankful because they willfully become the losers so that winners can exist.

    He must be having a bad day or something.

    But then I see he has his "second biggest wager of all time" today on the Texans.

    So funny.

     Exactly brother. I usually don’t even read threads like this. But I had time today. And wanted to because he mentioned a name of someone who is a staple of this platform. And a proven winner. But it’s the world we live in and your right there are so many more than we can even imagine with the glitch that allows them to say stuff like this out loud lol. But if there were nothing but winners the casinos wouldn’t be a thing so we have to have them an_roll_laugh

    U don't think that the gambling/lotto industry lends itself to a certain type of person who already has problems? It's not where the $ comes from thats to blame, it's the person who acquired it.

    And the only thing that Van proved is some Sports Investors are man enough to admit when they are in a bad streak and can ride it out to play another day.

    I guarantee alcohol has destroyed more lives than anything else in modern society. Are purveyors of alcohol in the same boat as thieves and gamblers?! Wild people would even post this nonsense on a gambling forum let alone call out vanzak.

    @7272

     Agree Completely.    If you are going to be successful betting you need to put a lot of work in - break things down, have a reason why A team beats B team etc.  Just looking at lines, trying to figure out what the public is doing, etc. doesn't often give you the results CONSISTENTLY that you are looking for.   It takes a lot of time and effort

    @GriLo  

    I don't have a problem with a few things you said but I do have an issue with  "In fact, I will go further, the money won in betting, theft, is the same thing, it is cursed money that did not come from the fruit of your work and is charged double from you later. Do not spend 1 dollar that is not the fruit of your work" 

    Either way bol to you

    @vanzack

     

    Vanzack, you can cite numerous examples of criminals who live happy and healthy lives in their mansions, thanks to drug trafficking or theft. I really don't understand this, because this is what we see from the outside, we don't know the real reality.

     

    I believe you are one of those guys who has possibly succeeded in this industry, 1 in a million, and yet you have returned a good part of it this year.

     

    Anyway, if my 30 years of experience in gambling were not enough to convince you, listen to what the Mormons have to say. They have been studying the "evil of gambling" in society for 200 years and have the same vision as me. They have everything documented about what happens to people who try to make easy money without working/generating value for other human beings.

    Everyone is addicted to gambling. But I try to be a controlled addict.

    @KeyMaster

     

    You are completely wrong. The greatest investor of all time, Warren Buffet, has already answered this question.

     

    Stock investing pours trillions of dollars into companies in the American economy that will prosper, generate jobs and value for other human beings. Countries that do not have a sophisticated stock market like Africa cannot get investment to build anything or improve people's lives.

     

    Now, if you say that “trading” in the stock market is like gambling, you are correct. That is why the number of winners in long-term trading is as small as the number of bets.
