I am looking to experiment with the effects that experiencing alternate states of reality may have on my success in sports gambling (induced, of course, by consuming only legal drugs, including alcohol) and I was wondering if anybody had any prior experiences to share?

So far im 1-0 betting while intoxicated lol the mind is so free..... you won't have anxiety making the bet I will tell you that haha my behind will eat the chalk up so yes, I go through some types of anxiety when placing a bet

When the fear comes in before making a bet then thats when you know its a good bet..... remember that

If you want to lose your money drink. If you bet while doing any drugs, make sure it's cocaine as your mind will be on point. However, keep in mind if your bet does somehow lose the comedown will get ya!

This is not the correct way of going about this.

I suggest this method but it required BELIEF.

Belief must be internalized through the sub conscious.

What must you believe?

That there is more than just one reality and the one you are presently witnessing is YOURS and YOURS alone.

So the Red Sox may win today in your reality tunnel but may not win for someone else.

But how can that be there is ONLY ONE REALITY.

NO THERE IS NOT.

My Buddy bet a whole ton of college football games one night in Vegas.  Got hammered, and somehow bet the same bets again on those teaser sheets.  Fortunately, he ended up winning twice on most bets, so it worked out.

Have you never been to Vegas, Tahoe, Reno, ect.? Everyone is wagering intoxicated. Personally, i've made tons of live and 2nd half bets because of intoxication based impulses. Mostly alcohol and blow. Some have been huge hits that I never would've played while sober. Others end with me saying, "What was I thinking?"

Already i'm glad I made the thread for this advice alone. Especially when people ask me for advice. And of course when it's my money. I get so nervous. And alc and weed definitely make the anxiety go away, that's why I've been rejected so many more times by women when intoxicated, cause I try more often

How dare you come in here and even THINK that any of the respected, esteemed contributors (to society as well as these forums) would consider becoming intoxicated, then making honest wagers (the only kind we make) under such heinous circumstances !!!!  Shame on you!!!

(Ok, I have to go take my post-lobotomy psycho-theraputic injections with my buddy WSGekko in his Downtown Vegas Hooker Reform Clinic.)

Of course there is only one reality. But not before the game begins. And maybe an altered state grants one access to unique perspectives? Unique ways of "viewing" what lies ahead? Maybe one could have a "beer journal," where one writes down all one's thoughts about a given game, and compare them to one's "sober journals," where one jots down thoughts about the same game while sober.

you will lose your money betting while drinking, however smoking some bud does force you to be more cautious and really look at every angle of a bet. I recommend it

For some reason I didn't expect so many people to have experience with this, I guess college students are naive 

But VT, you're used to drinking whiskey right? You can probably drink two jugs of whiskey without getting even buzzed?

Whiskey, Bourbon sure. I just mean sober Jags or High Jags isn't going to make more money than Sober Jags in the long run... works for everyone different though. For me, like I'm sure alot of people, alcohol gives you the IDGAF attitude. But if you have never been intoxicated gambling, I recommend trying it, just limit yourself.

I find myself getting scared of plays and not willing to take risks if i smoke a bowl before I start handicapping.

Like my mother used to always say, scared money don't make money. Drinking, and some drugs, definitely lower inhibitions. And whether with women, or with betting, sometimes that's good and sometimes it's bad. I've had a little bit of both with both.

Ha I get shot down drunk and sober but that's a different story. I guess women don't like talking about sports or the nerdy things I study. I think they tend to be disappointments in every non-physical aspect.

Hey if you got anxiety for any reason...in public, at work, placing bets, awkward situations etc...get some help. Talk to someone, there's deeper rooted problems that drugs or alcohol will only mask.


One suggestion to anyone reading this..DO NOT mix these 3 things:

1. Placing a wager on Basketball

2. Snorting Cocaine

3. Watching the Game you placed your wager on.


Getting  a heart attack is highly probable under these conditions.
