Guest ChrisHarvard Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 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.

Guest ChrisHarvard Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milwaukee mike Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August West Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 My real job is to figure out ways to get people to gamble more. And yes, sometimes I do make some wagers while at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeinkeToWarrick Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 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.

Hangover Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 This is not really an issue with smartphones being where they are at and most sites having a mobile version. It would suck balls to be a working degen back in the 90's tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ChrisHarvard Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 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.

FISHHEAD Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 My guess most on this site gamble in some form or another everyday, often during their work hours, as well as post on TGF and AGWEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
