College gambler pocket dictionary.

Grind - throwing three 3K mini bombs in quick succession.

Discipline - "grinding" instead of throwing 10K bomb.

Humbled - a state of mind of deep introspection where no further bombs are thrown. Mean duration 22.6 minutes.

Handicapping - identifying value on one side, fading yourself just because.

Wholesome fun - DUI to MILF

Bankroll - a pile of crisp C notes, primarily used for buying blow/filling up sonata/shopping for tilapia. Occasionally used for "grinding".

Money management - increase stakes when bankroll shrinks, like a "pro/boss/legend"

Pro/Boss/Legend - an NCAA/NBA/NHL/MLB bettor with a proven record in the NFL.

Family - synonymous with "bad luck"

Bad luck - every time a bet doesn't win.

Sickening - see "bad luck"

Line shopping - doing miles in a hyundai sonata.

Snap - word used at end of agitated YouTube videos. Meaning unclear.

Mojo - something that gets lost when "family" comes to town.

Tall Boys/TBs - increases "mojo"

Sacramento Kings - goto NBA team when the "proven" "pro/boss/legend" is "handicapping"

Advice - no dictionary entry

To be totally honest not long at all.  As good as i was that year, the next year the games didnt fall the same way.
35 years of chasing the golden goose in gambling and still havent found him.  So much time and money wasted away.

CG, makes a video tonight talking about how hes humbled and needs to change blah blah blah, then in the video he talks about probably having a bomb play again tomorrow.  The kid just wont get it, until every last penny is gone from his bank account.

My guess he will be doing tallboys, lines and milfs tomorrow night while waiting to see how his bomb goes.

1.  Clean up.  Get off the drink and drugs.
2.  Get a job.  You like Vegas.  Find a job there.  There is no shame in this.
3.  Stop gambling until football season.  Save any extra money and put it with your 7k for your football bankroll.
4.  Find out why you think you can win, and identify why you can win. 
5.  Come up with a plan, and execute that plan for football.
6.  KEEP JOB NO MATTER WHAT

This is how you live the dream, stay in Vegas, and turn this whole thing around.  I said it back on page one of this thread - GAMBLING FOR PROFIT JUST AINT YOUR THING.  You don't understand it.  You are trying to speak Spanish and you don't know the vocabulary.

Plenty of time to turn this around.  I know you will ignore this - but considering you will get lots of advice about how much to bet and how to turn this gambling thing around - READ THIS OVER AND OVER AND OVER - THERE IS NO AMOUNT YOU CAN BET TO MAKE MONEY NOW, AND YOU ARE A .500 CAPPER.  But you can turn that around.

Listen to Vanzack, I also told you pages and pages ago that you had ZERO chance of doing this for a living. Let's be honest CG, you aren't a good enough capper to make a long term profit(as much as you will disagree with that), you have ZERO discipline with your gambling and from what I see no discipline in any area of your life, you have no patience, you don't have the work ethic to invest time into doing this for a living, it is work not throwing darts and hoping you win, you are close minded and you think you have all the answers, you don't have enough outs to get the best lines and juice, I could go on forever but I am sure you get the point, well actually I doubt you get the point.  It is too late to grind like Vanzack has also said, your best bet is to listen and take the advice that Van gave you or go all in on one game as you head back to Jersey for your old life. There is no other "real" options at this point. You will not turn 7K into  living by betting. Game is over Brother, I commend you for chasing your dream but you did it with no plan at all. You went to Vegas like a typical action junkie hoping to get lucky. I don't doubt that you want to be a pro gambler for life but like I said before want and ability are 2 different things. Be thankful that you are young enough to turn your life around and do the right thing. Just make this a story that you tell years from now about how you were young and crazy but whatever you do don't continue like this. Get some guidance from others that have sunk and turned it around, be open to suggestions. I am sure there are knowledgeable gamblers on here that would take time out to chat with you. I feel bad for you, I really do, just wish you would have listened to some people here and maybe you would have eventually had a chance at making it.

this is one of the more baffling notions ive ever encountered....wat the fu.k is commendable or admirable about embarking on sumthing that had less than zero chance of being successful because of stubborn-ness,no foresight watsoever and arrogance??
 and its not being clever after the fact either,it was precisely predicted at the very beginning of the thread that wat has happened wud happen...im not sure why doing sumthing this idiotic shud be respected.

it doesnt take "balls"...it just takes a tiny,tiny brain capable of infinite stupidity and the most closed mind ever witnessed in the recorded history of mankind.

nothing admirable or courageous at all.....I or any other poster in this thread cud easily have done the same....if only we were dumb enuff


if he had come in with a plan,sum humility,determination and willingness to learn on the other hand.........then at least ya can give kudos for taking a shot,even tho odds still stacked well against anyone pulling it off

Pretty obvious at this point that "patience" and "discipline" aren't what's standing in CG's way. It's a fundamental lack of work ethic and handicapping skills (a full time job requires about eight hours of your attention per day, not five minutes deciding a team is "due" and calling it "research").

Better luck with your next endeavour CG.

Much wisdom in this thread -- earned by years of life. A pro gambler?
Many are called but few are successful. Lady Luck will F with you like 
You cannot even imagine.

Your move CG -- I wish you well.


P.S A good restart down this road would be to reread this thread and 
Attempt to learn from it.

Yes, he has balls and a desire to succeed --- two necessary things
And apparently the will not to cut and run. Now he needs a no emotion
Approach that can be analyzed and altered to steer thru the maze.
Than the discipline to stick to the plan.
