Stumbled upon this Forum when searching for something about RWS. So will like to share some of my personal thoughts of being a "reformed" Gambler. I have been gambling seriously since I reached adult-hood. I have lost countless amount of money and came close to destroying my life with online betting, casinos, sports betting, with a huge measure of thanks, to banks that extended me credit that I ill-deserved. Credit Cards, Credit lines, transfer balances at 0%, un-secured loans ..... you name it, I had it and I busted it. I came close to bankruptcy, but managed to straved off the wolves, thanks to a good job and a good wife that managed my finances and kept my fingers off the money that I earned. Today, I see myself as a reformed recreational gambler. My Principals in Gambling as below: 1) I am expected to lose 2) I am not afraid to lose 3) I will not play/gamble with money that I do not have 4) I will not play/gamble with money that I cannot afford to lose 5) I will make good my bets and honor all my gambling debts/losses 6) I will understand/learn everything that I bet on 7) I will not believe in betting systems 8) I will not cheat For those studying Gambler's psychology to help problem gamblers, or collecting information for Casinos to exploit and market their "services" more effectively, I am going to volunteer my information on a platter. Race: Chinese (I know, we Chinese are a bunch of hard-core gambling addicts) Martial: Married but no children .... yet (If it is relevant, I absolutely love children) Job: Well Paid job handling Sales and Operations. (sometimes I have to bring clients to the Casino!) Salary: est annual USD90K~USD150K depending on company's performance More about me: Reasonably well educated, loyal to both my wife and employee (I have been married for 5 years and working for the same employer for 10 years ... haha). I classify myself as a recreational gambler but I do have occasional blings where by I drop everything that I am doing to go on a 2-3 days gambling trip, just on a whimper or a small desire. My favourite casino games is Baccarat where i normally play stakes of USD100~200/hand. I play some blackjack and sometimes slots machines when the Jackpot is attractive (you never know when you will get lucky!! ) I make it a point to learn the odds of the games that I am playing and will never put money down on bets that I do not understand 100%. That is all I can think of at the moment. And if someone care enough to ask more, I will answer. |
Share more on Soccer betting. I am keen to know
