I really dont understand why any of your wifes get upset because your gambling, everybody in this thread appears to be experts at gambling and only win. Your wifes should all be very happy, that you have made the bookie your own personal atm cash machine.
I just hope you guys dont put all the offshore books out of business with all your winning bets.
lmfaooooooooooo 5 percent of the gamblers in the world actually make money at gambling, yet everyone here makes a living at it.
Wake up people your wifes are actually smarter then you and they know sooner or later you will be in debt from gambling and will be looking at bankruptcy like most gamblers endup doing.

Hey smartass, did you ever consider how many people gamble? Do you know how many people embody 5% of all people that gamble? Not to mention that therx can't posibly be considered a cross-section of all gamblers. I'm not ignorant enough to suggest an overall winning percentage among RX users, but it's not 5% and likely over 30%. All I know is we will destroy CBB this year like last year, and dood, the wives smarter than us? You are a woman aren't you?

I must say this has become the most entertaining thread I have ever read on the Rx. I'll throw my experience in here as well. My first wife and I were high school sweethearts, married at 18. I didnt start gambling..er..sportsvestoring until I had gotten out of college and put her through college as well, which was about 8 years after we were married. Our income was near 150k a year jointly and I would take a small amount (2k) for football season and bet it. Initially, I would tell her about all the ups/downs wins/losses, but it quickly became obvious that this was a huge mistake. To lose 100 bucks on a bet would drive her crazy..."just think of what we could have bought with that? WE would have something the show for our money!" etc..etc. When I hit a 6 team parlay I had bet 500 bucks on one year (paid around 25k) she had no problem buying new TVs , car, etc. Next year I lost around 5k on a big bet, wow..you would of thought I had been caught in the act:hump:. So, now she is an ex wife, not solely because of her opposition to gambling. The current Mrs. Smacksmiter knew all about my sportsvesting goine in and even participated herself on a limited scale. But, guess what, now that we have been married 10 years she has decided that gambling is a bad thing, so i cant tell her anything anymore...sound familiar? It doesnt matter if you win or lose, its just the way women are. I have something very important for every male here on the Rx to hear/memorize/know without a doubt...
Females are wired differently than Males
less than .01% (about the same percentage of true dykes in the population) have the wiring/hormones setup to truly appreciate gambling in any form, much less handicapping.
So...the bottom line is...knowledge is power. Learn it, know it , live it.

I think you should seriously stop gambling and stop watching any and all sports (except Winter Olympic Figure Skating with her). Then add all the time you spend on here, gambling, and watching sports, and use it for cleaning, cooking, and definitely more time cuddling.

When I was betting sports heavily, and winning, I once flew to Vegas to put 5 dimes on the Lakers -12 vs. Sac. Magic Johnson was just off surgery and I figured that, since the Lakers had got their butts kicked in the previous game, they would roll in this one.
Anyway, I get home and say to my wife, who is Italian, "Lets go watch the game at the Forum". We go to the Forum and the Lakers are up by 15 late in the fourth quarter, when they pull Johnson to rest him. I know I have just lost $5K. My wife says "This is a lot more fun than football cause a lot more stuff happens", or something inane like that. Anyway - I say " Yeah, well I just lost $5000." The Lakers win by 11 and I lose.
She really doesn't say squat about the 5K, just babbles about "how great the game was".
[She once picked 20 NBA games straight vs the spread by reading the odds in the paper - after the fifth game, wiseguys at the Stardust were asking me "who does your wife like this week?" Everybody cleaned up betting her picks [except me]. She then proceeded to lose 19 games straight vs the spread, and everybody gave all their money back. You know the old theory "Joyce won 20 games straight so I Know she will hit on the next one" [EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS LOST SEVEN IN A ROW].
Moral of the story: Divorce your wife and marry an Italian - they are all degenerate gamblers.

I use to be a pro gambler ( gambling paid my bills ) when I was dating my (future) wife . She did not care for four years while we were dating . She always knew what I did for a living also. We got married last Sept. and she lost her job. I did not want her get to get a job until I got laid off of my job. I then started back pro gambling and was always on THERX . She was always pissed off B/c I was always on the computer THERX (working) . All of sudden she came to me and wanted a divorce. She freaked out b/c she did not want to get a job and she left me to go to AUSTRALIA to be a nanny (where someone else would take care of her)......Anyway she is back and begging for me to take her back....... Point is BITCHES ARE CRAZY !!!!!!!

My wife knows and she has that as her ACE up her sleeves. And will use that against me. She'll use that to get custody of the 3 kids and make me slave the rest of my life to support her. I know she's kept some of my gambling papers I'd thrown in the trash can (as proof???). She hates it whenever I watch sports on TV.
Once a month when she gets agitated, she'd go flying off the handle and say things she'd regret... and she'd alway bring the gambling issue up, And make me out to be the bad guy, yet I'm not the one on the Rags at that.
uppy:. The last time she flew off the handle was on Easter Sunday (3 months ago). And since then, even though we live in the same house, but we hadn't talked at all. We hadnt' share a meal since either, she hangs out with her friends, and I with mine. And all my friends are evil as they are degenerate like me. Our marriage is on death row, 3 months and counting.:smoking:
Moral of the story, it doesn't matter what you do, you're behind the 8 ball, she'll bring up gambling as the straw that leads to breakup, and the judge will hear about your evil trait as the reason to take your kids away from you.:Sad Face: Doesn't matter whether you're in the Black/Red.
