Everyone in my family knows I gamble. Some look down upon me. It's funny when someone is in a tough situation and needs a loan they always come to me first.

Through my family it's well known that I do. Opinions vary.

I've seen to many "pillars of society" fall to give a rat's ass what other people think about how I live my life. Jimmy Swaggart, Bill Clinton etc. come to mind.

It's not that I don't understand why people have a dim view of gambling. I just do not care to live my life their way. I determined that long ago.


Funny thing, no matter pro or con on gambling they always enjoy
the money / perks.

my grandfather used to spend the christmas party on the couch watching nfl games...and always holding his "sheet" of bets in his hand...therefore my family almost expects it...my mother and grandmother both know more about betting than most men that actually bet games

I was in Lake Charles, La. last night playing poker. Love the cajun attitude --- let the good times roll!

 

[bellyputter]

I'm thinking of coming out of the closet. Sorry, wrong thread.

 

[BradtheBloke]

my brothers know, not my dad. all my friends know which kina sux because they always ask, "hows the gambling going?", and if I'm in a slump, I hate having to answer that question!

 

[tatehill2000]

script,,, you know my advice,,, I always say,,, I lose alll the time,,,, "I just hope to win a tiny BIT more than I lose"

and they laugh,,, and the whole discussion gets thrown by the side,,, sometimes I tell themt he truth,,, sometimes not,,, typically I jsut say,,, my bank roll I manage Just like you do your 401K,,, or ROTH,,, I keep my ammounts private,,

lol and the semi Pompus attitude speaks volumes to my conservative family,,,

whole family knows I gamble. Sometimes I put in through my dad's local.

My wife invest in offshore with me. So, it's no secrets.

My dad was betting before I was hatched.
What is there to tell?

 

[AndySpainpick's]

Told my mum recently, after seeing the figures coming in and knowing i always was gifted for ''numbers'' and have a ''sound head'' she's very much fine with it, she doesnt know how much time i put into it to make it, but at least she's happy and not worried. ( how could she be worried, I have been 13 months without having to make a deposit :aktion033 )

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

My daughter loves it.....she reaps all the benefits, college tuition, car, and trips to wherever I am.....her frequent flier miles are almost as much as mine....

Do you tell your Family that you Bet?

They taught me how.

 

[PercocetThreat]

Me and my two bros all bet, my moms is aware of it and she is cool about it. She worries for me but she knows that I never bet with money that I dont have and that I dont fucking chase.

 

[LarryTalbot]

they frown down upon it and they're regular lottery players. Go figure.

 

[terps1313]

dont you hate the question... "hows the gambling going?" I mean really how do you answer that?
