    Seriously...don't...any dealer will tell you that...and they are right.

    Or do you know anyone who really won any money by gambling?

    Dude,

    I love to gamble.

    I won 3 grand during the last month of the NBA season just betting on the over unders.

    Now I am going to vegas in October with a little jack to play with.....I have won and lost, but the key is just take what you can afford to lose, and don't sweat it.

    I have made substantial profits from sports betting online. I have a 5-year track record with *zero* re-loads.

    I guess sports betting is a different story, but I am telling you, this Las Vegas style stuff is all dangerous. As I said, I spoke to this dealer yesterday and he said, basically he NEVER sees anyone going away with a lot of money they won. Usually, people will not know when to stop (which is true for myself as well). When you lose, you feel like you have to win it back (although it's a sunk cost!) and when you win, you get even greedier and think you can win more because it is going well. In the end, only the casino always wins. I know I am not telling any news here, but I am speaking from a very recent experience!!! :mad:

    I don't have a pick for tonight's game. I haven't researched it and I'm jammed up at work today. One key to gambling is not to bet on games unless you have a thorough, well thought out position. A good bet is often one that is not made.

    I bet at PinnacleSports and Sportsbook (.com). Both have good reputations and are credible.
