You are right. Alcohol is as bad as gambling in society. The person who sells drinks is not affected by poverty because he is actually working, and within the law, unlike drugs.

Just like bookmakers are also billionaires. They are also working, providing some service, whether it is bad or not.

I just believe that those who try to make money without working or generating value through their capital, do not prosper.

@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.

@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.

You see, people who make money gambling "for a while" are making that money at the expense of other people's suffering. Because for every dollar you make, there's someone else on the other side who's addicted and losing. So you're like a drug dealer who's profiting from other people's addiction. Anyway, I also gamble, I post my bets here on the forum, I'm just trying to explain to you how my view on gambling works. I'm aware today that every dollar I make here isn't mine, it's money I'll be donating to charity. The losses will go into my budget as "fun money."

@dertydude

 Yes, I also mentioned that I admire him for being in the positive for so many years. He was really the only Capper here in Covers who managed to do it for so long. But this year was proof that even the "God of handicap" will also fall one day, as so many others have fallen before him.

@dertydude

 I have been gambling for so many years because I truly consider myself an addict, but more importantly, I really enjoy sports. I was actually a college baseball athlete who didn't make it to the next level. So sports are intertwined with my personality, and it's really hard to stop watching them, and it's even harder to stop betting on them. When I make a bet, I feel like I'm part of the show. But today, after many years of watching various cappers and reading books on the subject, I have my own verdict on what happens to those who think they are "winning" or "living" from betting. Even worse, "making an investment" in betting. Crazy.

@MiXaoLon

 I am not religious, but I am old and experienced enough to know that no one prospers in life with money from gambling or theft. This money usually exacts a very high price, whether in dollars or in mental/spiritual peace, family misfortunes, etc. Just look at how 80% of lottery winners will be poor after 10 years. Money can only prosper if you create value for other people, whether through your capital or your service.

Vanzack is giving back everything he won in betting this year. He seems to be -40 units the last time I updated. I confess that I have always admired him for having so many years in the positive, but after more than 30 years in this industry, I know that all bettors will give back their winnings sooner or later.

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.

To date this is my 2nd largest wager ever 

1st was against Brett Farve

i took the raiders the night Brett’s dad passed, I no stupid, was young and thought he would not be in correct frame of mind. Couldn’t of been farther from the truth. 

Houston +8.5 extremely large (1.000USD) or 10units

Good Luck. 

The Jaguars arrived in London yesterday, while the Bears have been there since Tuesday. I wouldn't bet on the Jaguars.

1-4 

Good write.

You is the State Nebraska?

Good write. 

Good.

@PerfectRotation

 The only thing I agree with here is being skeptical of the Jets' project, because I believe Brisset
I'm going to have a great performance after having 245 yards in 2 games, it's difficult.

@OverAmbassador

Yes, they went over 300 yards, but will Stevenson rush for +150 yards again?

Jets -6.5 is no-Bet for me. 

It's really complicated to bet on a QB who can only produce 120 yds per game, even when Stevenson goes
be able to run to +150yds and save the Patriots? I can't see him doing that again. Give me
Jets -6.

Damn oddsmakers, fucking 59 points.</
