Unless you're a winning poker player, or sports bettor with elite discipline this life can get out of hand. Doesn't help that I'm willing to risk money I never have. It's one thing to lose what you have - a whole new ball game when you start busting credit and loans from people.
But I don't want to turn this into a SOB story. Tomorrow is a new day and a new parlay. SHIP IT!!!!
I have 3 weeks to pay my bills or I'm toast. I will keep you guys updated how the runup goes. Literally collecting change around the house at this time. But $50 can turn into $1k real fast!
You have no idea how lucky you are to have a job pay decent. I am a poker grinder at AC(to all if you don't know AC, you ask Pocket rocket, he lost all his money at borgata which is at AC, one of the best casino in town), I had a black label there not because I played a lot of poker, but lost a lot on roulette or other stupid pit. Well if you stay in AC long enough like me you will understand all these ****. Yesterday one of my long time poker friend told me he just lost 70k at borgata, in "two ***** night", he pull out all the money he saved in the casino safe box plus max out his CC, he was lucky he didn't touch his bank acc because he need those money to support his family. I ask him how the **** he lost all those money, no way on the poker table, I know this guy, he told me he lost the money on high limit baccarat table, betting range 1k-3k a hand, the high point when he lost his mind to chase lost, he bet the max of the table which is 10k a hand. I ask him why the fk he played those game, he said he been on a hot streak and won almost 40k at baccarat the last couple month, some nigh he just sit down couple hours and won 3-5k easy, every thing goes his way, but not last two day he lost everything back. I heard so many these type of story around me, and I start realize if I don't stop I will become the one some day to tell the story. It just doesn't matter how much you won in the past, you will just give it all back, all it takes is to chase a small lost and keep the losing streak long enough and you will go to crazy monkey tilt and start betting crazy.
Zen save me because it helps me inside, helps me understand deeply that I don't actually own anything in this world. All I own just for temporary, when I died I will give it all back, so if in this world I don't actually own anything, that can apply to relationships, you don't own your wife. It can apply to gambling. You don't own the money you won in the past. The idea can be apply to almost anything in real life. That's why the monk is the most peaceful human in the world, nothing can bother them, all the big trouble that will crush the normal people, they will handle it just like nothing happen, because they are truly understanding the "truth" in life. Which is the most important thing actually. Not the money, not the luxury life
