But suppose for a moment he really didn't care about money. (Which is nonsense, he obviously speaks of the losses with regret.)

What could be a bigger waste of a life than gambling for something you care nothing about? Could there be a more asinine waste of a life than that?
Oh ****

Re: Archie Karas the gamblers gambler...WOW!

The hate going on in here for Archie is ridiculous. If you dont agree with his lifestyle and philosophy fine. That doesnt give you the right to call someone an idiot when they are obviously not, in fact it only makes you look like an idiot.

Fact: The guy was a world class pool and heads up poker player. Have any of the posters in this thread ever been world class at anything, let alone two things?

He also happens to be a sick, sick gambler.

Archie is a class act and a true Las Vegas legend the likes of which may never be seen again, anyone who thinks otherwise is just hating on him, and although they may never go broke, they will never ever know what it is to be a true gambler.

Re: Archie Karas the gamblers gambler...WOW!

its so sick that someone can let this kind of thing happen to themselves. the fact that he didnt kill himself after suffering losses like this is amazing if you ask me. I know if this happened to me id find the nearest cliff and jump head first. I mean losing a couple thousand is alright for poker players but 40MILL?!?!?! you gotta be f*cked up to let yourself lose that kind of money.

Re: Archie Karas the gamblers gambler...WOW!

Archie is a gambler, don't you all get it?

It's the thrill of the gamble that he gets off on, not how much he wins or loses in the long run.

If you want to gamble
I tell you I'm your man
Win some, lose some
It's all the same to me

Hey, what if Archie is the one who is right and all you haters are wrong? Maybe his way is the right way and everyone else just can't see it? Leave the guy alone, wer need his action!

If he only wouldn't have lost the 40 million, we wouldn't have had to read all these posts on how he's an idiot.

I think it's clear from this thread who the gamblers and who the nits are.

You've got my respect Archie.
