Hi guys, first time im on the General Discussion, Im a 20 years old guy, and the truth is that me and my father have made a lot of money on NFL and sometimes on NBA, it all starts as a hobby, my first bet was a 5 dlls parlay, 10 dlls parlays? no way it was a lot of money (I was only 17, yes I live on Mexico no big deal about the age). Then my father start to bet, also not real big, 50 dlls maybe 75, but we start to win, then it was 100, 200 and 500. I will never forget his face, it was a wild card game, dolphins vs seattle, and he bet 500 on phins and under,and he won, then it was 5000 on the titans ( a push), and the under etc etc on SB. I remember that most of the time I cashed the tickets for my father and i loved when all the people saw how much money I (well my father) won. Starting the 2000 NFL season we never bet less than 2000 each sunday, and the MNF was always 2000 on the side 2000 on the total and 1000 on a parlay. On the super bowl he won 12,000 and the casino paid us 2 days after. What a beatiful life I always had at least 300 dlls on my wallet (it was a lot at my 19 years) fridays and saturdays I went to strip clubs and on sunday I got back the money I spent there (betting on NFL). During weekends I Hang-out with my friends and I always paid. Whats wrong with you ass**** you didnt read the topic it is about tragedy, well guys my tragedy is that as a teenager i didnt care about school. School? who need it, I made more money than a lot of people who have a job. I spent hours on my computer but instead of make homework I read gamblings write ups, and Handicappers picks. I finished my (I dont know who you call the 3 years before college) on 4and a half years, my father? it wasnt that he didnt care, but what the hell he was making money with me. I went to college and pick a major on MEA, my grades? well i flunk all my classes, I will never forget my classes on monday from 4:30 to 6:00, my cell rongs at least 6 times, because people want to know which one will be my bet. The next semester I change to a License major (my dad became crazy) and also I flunck all my classes. Friday was my first school day and I need to enter to a LOSERS program in order to be accepted again at school. On Tuesday me and my fellas had a party, and i cant describe you how bad a felt when all of them start to talk about their jobs, or the plans for the future. I realiza that I have waste my life chasing a stupid easymoney dream. Now i will be lucky if a finish my major at 25. Well guys hope i didnt bore you, but I just need to tell this to someone.
