A couple weeks ago, I made several bets as you can see, and got down $160. I won it back by Georgia escaping by the hair of their ass to beat South Carolina as I bet the money line. I won a small little $5 parlay later in the night, just for the hell of it. And that was it.

Overall, I won 2 out of 12 bets, and lost on the Cubs last night so I was down $45 again and pissed.
So being the stubborn irresponsible guy I am just now I played a mini roulette casino thing on there for the first time, and bet $50 and lost. So overall I was then down $100. Then in true Martingale system style, I bet $100 and won, and it put me back even - actually a little ahead, now I'm quitting. Fucking nuts.

I'm postponing gambling until i have money to burn.  my first time in AC i lost so much, after being a few hundred dollars up my first hour or so of gambling. 

[Tauntaun]

Good to quit now before you get addicted and lose tons of money then have large men come and break your legs. 

[Akala]

Gambling is awesome.

I think you need to avoid sports betting for a bit though, or pick better teams.

[muckhole]

You could quit, or you could take what you have left, bet it on black, and double it!

I woulda lost money on that Liddell/Evans fight too, if I'd bet. Tito Ortiz isn't much, and he'd have beaten Evans in their match, except for Big John pulling a point from Tito. I thought anyone who would've been beaten by Tito would get their ass kicked by Liddell.

At this point, I'm convinced anything I bet I'm doomed to lose. Saturday when Kimbo fights washed up Shamrock, I think its a ridiculous longshot Shamrock will do anything this old and this might be his last fight. I think he's just wanting a payday. Granted, Kimbo is damn near an amateur in submission skills, but he should win that easily. I know if I bet it though, Ken will catch him in some wrist lock or silly shit and I would lose.

My aunt gave me $100 to mess around in Vegas when I was under 21.  I took a risk and put all $100 in one bet in Roulette.  That was the last time I gambled.

At least you didn't waste much time losing it.

I remember reading a story about a guy who sold EVERYTHING. Liquidated all his assets, took all the money, went to Vegas, and was even wearing a rented tux. Not even the clothes on his back were his, and bet it on one roulette spin and won. I think a camara crew or something followed him around about it for a documentary show on some TV channel.

I guess not winning big wasn't so bad in my case since they would have checked my driver's license.  It would have been nice to win several hundred though.

I remember this, it was pretty amazing. I'm surprised Hollywood hasn't jumped all over it.

Wanna bet $10 you'll be back gambling very soon?

I wouldn't put any money on the Slice/Shamrock fight. Ken's got a lot of experience, but I think he's overconfident and he won't protect his jaw like he needs to, and he'll probably choose to stand up and bang -- big mistake. Slice is less experienced than Shamrock, could not throw down with anyone in his weightclass in UFC, and is probably believing all the hype that's surrounding him; if Ken can take him down, you'll be looking at a nasty submission.
