Do you gamble or have action at work?

I know we have many professional sports punters on this site that gambling is their job, like Fish. I think Durito is a day trader, that's basically gambling... but for the rest of us that have careers- what do you do when you have action on a game but you're stuck at work?

 

I hate being on pins and needles trying to do my job, worrying about a game.

 

Do you go to gaming websites on your office computer? Aren't you afraid? I'm piss scared I'm going to get asked what is c0vers and why am I accessing that site on company time.

 

When I used to work in the casino industry there was a strict policy on cell phone usage so I had to call an info line from the hard line to check scores.

And also, when I'm at work people ask me who is "my team"...

 

There is a poster on TGF and i don't remember who it was but his answer was the last team that made me a buck. And it really is the truth.

 

I wish I could say this to people but then they will know I am a sick person that gambles on ALL sports.

I don't bet over my head. So If I'm busy and can't check I just check when I'm done.

 

When the day comes that I'm sweating a game so bad that I can't concentrate then it's time to take a step back because I just bet more than I can afford to lose.

 

 

great attitude

 

i have always had the problem that even if it's $10, i care much more about the bet than my work

So when not working you bet more than you can afford to lose? Makes a ton of sense.

 

No it doesn't.

 

And I've thankfully matured to the point where I really never bet so much that I'm going to end up in a bad place if I lose, but occasionally I end up betting far more of my gambling bankroll than one probably should. Last Thursday with FSU, for instance, I had about 20% of my bankroll at stake. I would never bet that much on a game where I knew I'd be working, but when I can sweat it at home by myself, a couple times a year I'm prone to scratch the itch we all have.

I think what W2W means is that he doesn't make a big step out play when he knows he's going to be at work.

 

IMO, every punter has to make step out plays every now and then. Grinding away at 1 unit every single play is prudent but the goal is to make big money.
