IMO I think how degen it is is dependent on the relative value of the money for that individual.

Personally I think some guy who's broke and massively in debt losing 2k playing craps is more degen than some whale high roller playing like for a couple thousand a hand.

Few years back I was broke one week until pay day, had like $15 to my name for some groceries, spent it on booze and ate cereal and bread for a week. Degen as **** mang.

Sounds like pretty typical young Aussie behaviour to me

You are welcome. More to come I promise.

I am happy to read you were moved by my story. Thank you for taking the time to read it. More to follow.

Davino, your response here prompted me to click on your recent posts and I immediately stumbled upon the letter you wrote to your ex (?), I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when she read that ****

Sorry man hopefully you were able to make it through that day alright

You are welcome.

I have had some rough patches in the years since as we all have. Thankfully I can say that today life is beautiful and I am so grateful for it!!

I agree. I get a little emotional every time I re-read that paragraph myself.

Foatie, I read your post shortly after you posted it. I just have been so busy this last couple of weeks I haven't taken the time to log-in and respond but it has been lurking around in my brain ever since.

9/10 times you are correct. The life you live. The life you chose. Please do me this favor. The next time you see one of those homeless or street walkers look deep into their eyes because that is where the story lies. If God forbid, my wife, son, and daughter were to perish in a house fire you just might find me parked out front of the scene on the sidewalk in a solemn drunken stupor til my very last day.

Now for those mean, aggressive, dead-eyed bastards on the streets, FUKKEM!

Thank you for calling me resilient also, that is a high compliment IMO. It takes one to know one

You already know!

Hang on just a little bit longer!

Had to see a man about a horse.

JK my plate has been real full lately but I promise I will write up the next installment and have it up by Sunday night. Stay cool out there folks!

Man, reading your story like i've been doing last couple of hours is like marathon-watching a really good show up until you've caught up and have to watch the episodes week-by-week, such cliffhangers..!

Dont leave us hanging dude, you have very nice writing skills, i like it!

That's a pretty swift contradiction.

Lost another 1k on a bs unregulated online bc casino I banned myself form nj ones...

Fml

Why would you put money on unregulated online casino? Like if you ran the 1k up to 20k you really think some shady site would just send you a check in the mail the next week for 20k? Only Explanation is you are a huge degen who is subconsciously hoping to lose, so you don't care about the fact that you're getting freerolled.

Good, but scary thread. It has probably caused more out of control behavior than it has stopped, and it is a bit of an enabler. Better than a movie, but I feel for many of you. On the flip side, sometimes the only way to truly stop a bad activity is to really crash and burn, so the sooner that happens, the better. Positive spin.

Lol I hit for 38k 2 weeks ago and am still in the process of "getting the money wired" they have done all the usual stall tactics with documentation/ routing numbers but I've had valid responses each time.

I have almost counted the money as gone. But there's still a 1/10 shot I may get it. This really would solve all my debt right now and would be such a nice win.

Win number 1- beating the casino at their games with an edge

Win number 2- getting money off and unregulated site.

Win number 3- rubbing 38k all over my titties before sending to American Express.

If they don't pay at least I can call Amex and have them reverse 2k of charges.

Pulling for you Rocketts! That 38G would be enough to kick off movie quality degen adventure; prob book series too.... GL!

All right, I'll post a fresh one. Staying at Caesars, went to Bellagio to play 40/80 LHE with about 6 dimes on me, left 10 in the room. Did my, okay I'm hot now, I can start drinking because I am 3 racks ahead. Drinking leads to quick trips to the 21 pit where I keep winning 1k and going back to to poker to sit, chill, win a pot, and jump out to BJ. Keep doing this until I have about 22k in my pocket when my idiot buddy says he's over at the Flamingo playing 2-4 limit, so I figure I will go over there and play at his table and get completely wasted. Don't bother stopping at Caesars to drop off my money, what could possibly happen in a 2-4 game? Nothing, if you actually end up staying in it. Of course, after I realize I am battling grandmas and nits for that 4 dollar river bet and I HAVE OVER 20K in my pocket, I gravitate to the BJ pit. If you didnt know, is absolutely unbeatable in any CET property at the low stakes "party pit" tables. Realize that I am playing BJ pays 6-5 no double after the split with about 40% deck penetration, I leave. Mind you it took me about 7 dimes to put this all together through my Budweiser/Fireball coma. Shoot over to their little high limit area, and procede to get the 7 back plus another 3 from the hottest Asian dealer I have ever seen in my life. Leave, after I somehow ask her if she would like to go lay down in my van for a little while, it seemed like an appropriate exit strategy. My buddy is nowhere to be found after making the requisite 3 laps through the casino, so I walk out on to the strip, facing Caesars, a minutes walk form suite. Of course here comes the 200 pound white hill billy hooker with the smile of an angel and the ass of a new born rhinocerous. All she wants is 100 bucks, a bottle of Captain, a two liter of Pepsi, and the chance to hang in my suite. What a deal!!! There is no way I am turning that down. We start to make the walk across Las Vegas Blvd, hand in hand, and of course I don't have my room key. Saunter into the hushed tones, beautiful employee, Seven Stars registration room with this Lovely Beast, and request a new key. Wow. After I made her shower, and brush her teeth, hey I am a hygeine guy!!!, we start in with the face to face fat person acrobatics. Switch to dog style and catch a glimpse of myself in the side mirror. Oh God, there I was, in all my glory. 30 pounds overweight, bald Hairy, closing in on 40 years old, 25 k sitting on the coffee table, cause why would i put it in the safe. I am railing this chick like a silverback gorrilla with my 5.5 inch pecker. Jesus christ, I have children, what the **** is wrong with me? I pull out,immediately lose my erection, slap her on the ass and tell her to order
some room service. "Really" she squeals, in absolute post coital delight. She is like a little kid, digging everything that is going down, the room the sheets, the breakfast, the money on the table, the unlimited minibar and my sexual prowess. Eating the food, naked, planning how we are going to have a life together, the call comes. Now my buddy is at Planet Hollywood and the 2-5 is jumping and the Fireball is sitll flowing!!!!!! I grab the 25 dimes, open the safe and take the ten because I get it in my head that my 200 pound Ellie May Clampett is an amateur hacker and will some how be able to open the wall safe I grab my last 10 as well. Tell her stay, sleep, eat drink whatever you want I'll be back after I gamble baby, wear one of my shirts if you want, kiss kiss, slap slap. Go down the elevator and slip past Payard, Gucci horsebit loafers feel kind of sticky on my bare feet, gross, whats that...........Sports Book, cool, I avoided disaster last night, and by all rights should easily be broke, the only way to handle that is take 10k and play a 3 team round robin by two's for 3300, total bet 10k, pays 26 dimes, its off to PH for some little action, knowing full well when I get back I will have a 36,000 winning sports ticket in my pocket and my tragically flawed Miss America waiting in my room, sated by unlimited Michelle Richard and mini bottles of Ciroc with Kahlua chasers. Cab to PH, walk through to the game, but lets warm up with a little BJ!!!!!!!!!Down 5, to fatass 60 year old dealer from shicago, I fing hate losing to guys like me, bring me an Asian. I am going counterintuitive now, but little mesohorny pumps me back up 4 of the 5 Im stuck and its off to 2-5, deep breath, they wont let you destroy yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!! Five Diamond final tablist in game, drunker than me or maybe eeryone laughing and drinking and hes said this is too low so we start doing flips black red black red for 100's then 2's then 3's and then floor stips us. It's ok, I am only stuck 3.6k, but I was sure Red had a comeback in him. BJ now again. small 200 hand and stuck 10 before you can say Ni Han Sir. get it back, try to leave but cant find exit at PH, its hard, have you ever tried real drunk? Now im in the miracle mile malls thinking about buyins some moisturizer for my new angel, but there is no door, wtf, securty directs me back into the casino to find the door and really he should get a a nice bonus for that move, because I lose the fight in me and just go ahead and lose my 25k like it was 25 cents. Stumble back to Caesars, go in the book to cash my ticket and FML, I went 1-2 for no pay. Nothing left to do, I got 100 left enough for a cab to airtport, smokes and a big gulp. I pack while she lays there snoring away. Bye Bye Vegas..................For now.

Oh wait, I probably got free play!!!!!!!!!Screw it, save it for next time.

New front runner ^

Fwiw if the Vegas hooker knew there was 10k in the safe and she was already in the room chances are it wouldn't have been there when you got back anyway. So the pro move was actually taking the extra 10k with you.

Plz more stories bc when someone has the degen bug like that it there has to be moar.

I don't think she was a hooker just yet. A girl needing some money and cash with no where to go, it's a good start at it though.

of course the pro move is to take the money, but I would have been okay, she loved me I think.

A friend of mine actually has that beat in a way. He got evicted from his apartment, had 480$ to his name, but a 108$ one way Spirit Airline ticket to LV. Mind you, he is jobless and basically homeless and this is what he decided to do. He figured he would grind and crash with guys he knew, started at Mirage 3/6 I was there playing tiny NL, he lasted all of 40 minutes, stuck a rack of white, and says **** it, this isn't going to work. He has about 190 bucks and asks me to take half of him in the WSOP 235 daily. I figure I'll just give him 50 and look like a nice guy, and he ****ing chops it 3 ways for 22k.

Game proceeds to go str8 to 150/300 mix at Bellagio, flips me a dime to play 20/40 cause I got him in the event, and proceeds to win another 12ish. Now hes rolling. Straight to Encore where they give him a room cause hes playing two hands 200 each BJ and drinking Johnny Walker like they are going to stop making it on thursday.

When I tell you he lasted at the Encore for 17 DAYS, went to XS every night, and got at least one 500+ hooker every single day, and sometimes twice. He would just hit an run BJ twice for like a dime or so every day and then blow it on pros, clubs, and coke. It was staggering. They finally got him on day 18 when he got stuck 4 and never recovered. His parents came and got him and put him in Rehab. He was 32 mind you.

a+ sqred

17 day bender at Encore and XS...epic

I don't know if I could've lasted that long even with enough funds.

No ****, guy was the biggest beast I have ever known, an I've been around the block more than once.

True story. He staggers out of Bellagio to come join us at Hooters off Buffalo and Blue Diamond. Passes out in the street, litterally, like between Paris and B, the ambulance comes, and in route to hospital. he convinces the crew to drop him off at the Hooters we aRe at. I swear on my kids that is a true story. He got dropped off in front, multitple witnesses. Walked in and ordered a pitcher of Miller Lite and a Fireball.

Fwiw is this mystery character referred to as Warmdeck on 2+2?

For real tho the getting dropped off by the ambulance was legit.. Wonder if he still had to pay the xfer fee. Riding in ambulances is not cheap. I know

That's a top 10 contender for thread champion right there

I don't know warmdeck but this guy is known around the scene pretty well. I actually tweak the stories a little because I don't want to out him completely.

I have no idea what the ambulance charged, but he isn't big on paying his bills anyway.

Warmdeck has a legendary thread in BBV, Def check it out.

Lol I need Moar. This has been A+ degenning

im so glad i opened this thread. ive never known degeneracy like thus

To whom it may concern-
I apologize. Had a very busy weekend. Will get back on the writing horse this week though. Take care out there folks. Rest, eat, then GAMBLE!!!
