and we get ppl who blame games I capped for hours on a getting some tail with a girl I like. im 28 and like my women, but like I said I ALWAYS do my homework and put in the time to give myself the best chance to win and for anyone to question that is mind boggling to me
College Gambler, I give you MAJOR kudos and respect for having the balls to chase your dream, whether or not some of us feel you are going about this the right way.
However, you only have to prove to YOURSELF, that this dream of being a professional capper can actually become a reality, and so far, to my dismay, you are doing an EXCELLENT job.
That being said, your bursts of anger are VERY immature, and disrespectful to those trying to give you some solid, constructive criticism.
Also, it gets hard to root for your success when you talk about being so great or skilled at something, like you have reinvented the wheel. A little cockiness and ego is NECESSARY and GOOD, to remain successful in the brutal profession that you chose, but you regularly look to other people for deflection and blame.
You were given some great math advice from other posters, but from a psychological perspective, tone it down a little. Having passion for what you a re doing is great, but agonizing over every possession and bet will only lead to your downward spiral.
If anything, bet the games, then IMMEDIATELY go out to the strip club, watch a movie, or hang out with your date, as you have no control over your bets at that point. And don't get too high off a few wins, or especially, too low and angry after a few losses, or you will alienate even your most ardent supporters, even though I am not one of them.
Don't lose the passion for your dream, but if you somehow mature somewhat close to your age, instead of acting like a high school drama queen, and quit lashing out at those who question you, you will slowly work me into your cast of supporters. Until then, I am honestly waiting for your transition into Ben Sanderson, from "Leaving Las Vegas".
