A story here, from some time ago. No names mentioned to protect the guilty. Two guys pull up to a P-car dealership in a Caddy, walk in. The sales manager of the P-car dealership hands these BIG guys a thick envelope. Sales manager is a friend, so I asked what was up. "Oh, they collect for a bookie. I made the mistake of starting to bet on pro football. For a while, I was really good at picking them, and these guys paid like clockwork. But lately, I haven't been so good at picking them. I had to take a pay advance, tell my ex wife that the child support would be late, and borrow from my roomate as well as not being able to pay rent for a few months. I tell ya, Paul, I've learned my lesson. I'll NEVER bet on a sports event again."
Gambling isn't fun...it's a business. And those in the business don't lose. I learned from my friend's experience. Well, that, and a 21st birthday trip to Reno.
