I lose nothing by having sympathy for PR and his situation, the struggle is real.

No one needs to tell PR anything because he is well aware of what he is doing and the consequences his actions will potentially bring, this is obvious by his actions.

No one needs you to ride into the bbv on your trusty white steed and save PR or anyone else with your infinitely deep flowing wisdom and advice.

You want to berate losers for being losers, go to GA. I choose because I've followed PR's story for a while and understand he's a grown man who's going to make his own decisions to feel for him.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

In the late 80'/early90's I was enough of a roller to be limo'd and rfb suite comped at most of the casinos in AC. As a sick gambler the problem was that I'd keep gambling until I either had a huge win or went broke. I realized that if I could devise a way to lock up some of the money while I was winning then I couldn't go broke. I tried a number of schemes that didn't work until I hit upon this one:

I went to the locksmith that my company used and told them that I wanted a safe that used a key and that was small enough to carry around. They showed me one that they said was a favorite of the drug dealers because it could be bolted to the floor and quickly opened in case of a bust because you didn't have to dial a combo. I told them that I wanted a metal divider welded inside to make 2 separate compartments. I then had them drill a small hole on one side and I gave them a casino chip and told them to make a slot on the other side that the chip would fit into and no bigger.

When done I headed off to AC w/ the safe in a leather overnight bag and I left the key at home. While playing I would occasionally drop a large denomination chip down the slot and when I cashed out I'd roll up some bills and shove them into the hole on the other side. This worked great for 6 trips or so. I'd go broke but when I got home I'd open the safe and there were chips and money which usually brought me close to even or made me a winner.

All was well until one Saturday night at Resorts International when I'd been putting too much money into the safe and I was running out of cash. I found myself in the bathroom holding up the heavy safe and trying to dig chips/cash out w/ a paper clip but I'd designed the thing too well.

Back to the craps table w/ small money and unhappy because I had my room thru Sunday and I was a sick gambler. So I had the following conversation, at 3am, w/ the floor staff:

'Is there an all night supermarket or a Walgreens in town?'
'What do you need that for?'
'Well, there's something I need to get?'
'We can get you anything you want. What do you need?'
I was really embarrassed but finally I blurted out that I needed a drill.
'A drill?' What do you need a drill for?'
Eventually I had to haul my bag onto the rail and show them my safe and tell them that I needed to get into it. They all had a good laugh and said that at least now they knew why I'd been fiddling around w/ the bad all those times.

Long story made a bit shorter: In short order I was escorted by security into the bowels of the hotel to the machine shop where a worker used a drill press to open my box in no time flat. Naturally, I went broke.

Well, I figured that what I'd lacked was any sort of self-control so I would give it another shot. This time I picked a much smaller box w/ the same design.

A few weeks later I found myself going broke again, this time at the Trump Plaza, middle of the night again.

I called for the floorman:

'What can I do for you?', he asked.
'I want a drill press.'
'WHAT?
'I know it's unusual but I need a drill press.'

I'm sure that he had never, and never will, be asked for something like that for his entire career but I did get my drill press and that was the end of that experiment.

What do you think when you lose big?

I would always be like omg never again and get pissed off.

Know I might give a slight grin at most? And know I will bet again.

Maybe just more mature who knows.

Only degen when you lose

50% time we are winners.

Never had gambling been a issue when I was winning, I came to
The conclusion that if I stop at the moment I won that no matter how much I lost
I would always leave a winner.
