Moving to Vegas to become a full time pro handicapper

Welcome to WalMart.  I am CG - your fukkin greeter!  We got some RLBs (RED LIGHT BOMBS) in aisle 3, and we have a SMOKING HOT SPECIAL on Tall Boys and Tilapia in Aisle 7.

Don't tell me how to greet people!  Until you walk a day in my shoes, you have no right to tell me how to greet!!

YOU will not find a job here in the casino industry. YOU cant pass a DRUG test (hair sample and piss). That's how they do it out here. GO HOME and GET CLEAN! This place isn't for you. You are a Level 4 Bi-polar patient. I know because I have a daughter that without medication is just like you. Take your meds correctly and GO HOME and start all over.

Just thought of something....

Wouldn't any real job have a drug test?

How are the coke bombs going to allow CG to pass a drug test?

Anybody telling this kid anything but pack your bags head home now are doing him a disservice.

He was destined for defeat before he left Jersey playing into -110 and the rare -105 he has had the opportunity to play.  It's just that simple.

No online presence at all. C'mon.  The biggest gift he was given was necessary tools to access pinny and Mb among others and he hasn't even recognized it.

the hair sample test will detect for the past 18 months I believe. He has no chance here. Plus he put himself all over you tube snorting coke...he has no idea what he has done to himself here.

So, now, I am strongly of the belief that this situation calls for a full blown "Prodigal Son" protocol. In this scenario, "The CG" goes full and absolute bust ... no bankroll, no 401k...completely and fully broke in every way possible...except perhaps physically.  Certainly emotionally, mentally, spiritually...fully broken and at rock bottom.

In my experience, this will be the only way anything good comes out of this now.  He must go through this full bore and get it burned strong on the hard drive in his head.  To do it now, at age 28, will have the best effect on his life going forward.  He blows it now, he will never forget this and it will guide him on all future decisions.

He has failed every test to this point.  Now, its time to flunk completely out of the school of hard knocks and get back to life with a reality check experience that will serve him well the rest of the way.

CG comes out and says he is struggling mentally,  and needs help.....and advice comes rolling in on how to tap his 401k and keep the run going?  In the name of hitting some sort of "bottom" ?? And THEN rebuilding his life???

The fact is, not everyone gets up from the "bottom"....you talk as if it is a foregone conclusion that CG is capable of getting it together, all he needs is the proper "bottom".

Let me tell you, when someone hits "bottom", it is a coinflip as to whether or not they can get up and live any kind of life, let alone a productive or happy one.  MANY times, stories like this end with a gunshot, or with a prison sentence......and it is from the shame of having fallen so far from the person they once were; not from losing a pile of money.

The way I see it, CG hitting an absolute bottom raises the stakes even higher. So yeah........throwing gas on a fire???
