For 10 Grand, would u stop betting?

[hello there]

Hypothetical question....

If someone gave you 10 grand to stop wagering on any and every kind of bets, sports or whatever, forever, would you?

Most people lose over the long run and even if you win, unless you're betting big money, odds are astronomically slim you'll ever reach a profit of 10 grand anyways......so would you stop or turn down the 10 G's and keep on betting ???

For $10, would you stop posting.......please!?

I'll ante up another 10 bucks.............:moon:

Only if I could bet it on a double-digit favorite on the money line that would surely lose and I could be relegated to posting on inane subjects on a gambling forum as I would have no interest in the games because I was broke.

Most people lose over the long run? Just because that's your situation, don't assume that this game can't be beat.

Most people on here would agree that less than 10% of people who bet in this industry, in the long run, will make money. So I am right when I say most people won't. That wasn't even up for debate. Did I assume this game can't be beat?? Ofcourse it can, by some, not most. Suggestion, please read my posts carefully and completely before commenting on it.

astronomically slim = 10% ?

you will be the first person that I've ever put on my ignore list. congratulations

 

[hello there]

astronomically slim = 10% ?

I said "less than 10%" not "10%". Again, please read the posts carefully.

"I will bet you 10 grand you dont ever bet again?"

kinda reminds me of the scene from Dumb and Dumber....

Well Hello i'll will give you this. It is correct info most will end up loosing in long run. EVEN those who say no. Well there bull chitting just alittle more then the others. The odds are there to see that you loose. Real pros have said may times if more then 10% of the betting public say there winners. You can cut that in half. Im not sure about that. I hope there are at least 10% that win. I hope that's short and long term. As for the 10 grand to stop. Not enough for me to stop. This is part of my entertainment. It has challenges that other things cant give. But for about 25 grand maybe. Not sure why you caught so much chit for this question. But you seem to have a way of pissing folks off. Hey could be worse. They could stop answering.

According to Gambling Times magazine it is estimated the true number of gamblers who win in the long run is less than 1%.

Keep your ten dimes, or give it to me.

Give me two months, I'll give you 20 dimes back.

Serious answer to your question, you got to be kidding me, hell no!

KC keep half of the profit you will have earned it, and he should still be very happy.

Isn't this the guy that kept rolling it all over into the next wager 2 months ago until he lost it all ?:violin:

I think that's the same line a scamdicapper service gave me once.
