    You can do it. Just try not to get too caught up in the party scene and stay away from casino games. Came here when I was 24 and lived here 11 years now and still love it.

    these last two weeks will feel like an eternity before I leave for vegas..  looks like leaving after super bowl now considering my lease starts Monday feb 9   why waste cash for a hotel for so long... still going to have to be in hotel figure 5-6 nights between drive out and getting to vegas around the 6th or so..

    at least work is done!

    Well done gambler.

    I was on Seattle -7, OVER 23 in the 2nd half of Seattle/GB (got lucky as garbage), and on Pats -7.

    Went 2-1 today so I'm happy.

    But seriously, how many drinks had you had from the time your Pack bet hit and the time you put that Pats video on YouTube and you definitely didn't seem sober. I'm not judging at all man---just trying to help 

    Get that money and save that money

    gambler,

    you didn't necessairly seem drunk.You just seemed super excited (I'm assuming from the big Pack win). Not trying to be your keeper, but trying to look out for you---I'm the same age as you and struggled with alcohol in the past myself. Stay excited and keep up the enthusiasm, but man, don't let the booze get a hold of you!

    Great job today---winning day for us both. Hahaha like I said man, I'll be out in Vegas in a few months and would rather stay with a fellow degenerate and bet some games than crash in a nasty on the strip hotel! If you are game of course.

    College gambler, I don't see how you are going to pass the time during the day. There are only so many statistics and match-ups you can analyze, before you become extremely bored, or feel like your head is ready to explode. 

    I wish you well, but idle time in Vegas (especially during a Monday of limited action), is a recipe for a health and bankroll disaster.

    Just read about you endeavor on the NFL forum and started to read the link. I wish you all the luck on the world. I spent a month out there two years ago at a friends condo for March Madness and truly enjoyed it but I am too old for the daily grind that you will have to take on to keep ahead. 

    Keep us posted on how this goes.

    I played poker full time for 2 years and got extremely tired of feeling like a piece of garbage and not being a functioning member of society. I was making good money but I felt like a scumbag and needed more out of my life.

    Goodluck

    Goodluck Isn't everyone  out there kinda in the same boat though?  Or at least the guys grinding in the poker rooms?  Not trying to be a smart azz.......I'm jus sayin.  No doubt you're capping (pun intended) the football season off on a strong note. Congratulations. I don't buy think you will get bored between games. Seems like during football people are so focused on the marquee matchups on Sat/Sun. Truth be told I've done better on those excruciating-to-watch mid-week MAC games this year than top-25 college/NFL combined.  The people in my house owe Northern Illinois more than they know.  Have a safe trip.

    As long as they pretend to pay me I will pretend to work
