Monday's G. A. Meeting:

[alienx]

I'll try to do the prev days recap and post the winners here. Tiger used to do this in different sports. Haven't seen it being done in College Hoops. I'd like to see the winners. I'm calling it GA Meeting b/c wife thinks I have a gambling problem.

Ohh well, here we go Sunday's recap:

Loophole 1-0 -nice
Hoops 1-0 -streak starts here
Teddy KGB 2-1-1 -another winner card.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Be back tomorrow.

"Hi! My name is buddy.

(several voices in unison) "Hello, buddy!!"

 

[thepoolguy]

Now THAT is funny! (I hope it was supposed to be.)

 

[buddy]

thepoolguy,

It was intended to be humorous, although, I now realize how close to the edge it was.

Let me be the first to say this..

I have the greatest respect and gratitude for the "Anonymous" groups that currently exist worldwide.

I have been to them.

I have learned from them.

And I will be forever grateful for their existence.

My 12 step program

1. We admit that we were powerless over goal line fumbles and bad officiating.

2. Came to realize that most of our failures are due to our inability to manage money and be selective.

3. Made a decision to play for the long run and financial rewards not for today and the idea of "Action"

4. Made a searching and fearless moral and financial inventory.

5 Admitted to ourselves and another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. Were entriely ready to have these defects of character removed.

7. Humbly asked our friends for help and advice when necessary and listen to what they have to say.

8. Make a list of all poor decisions made in our wagering and money management lives and become willing to correct these flaws.

9. Make a point to realize that playing a game that you have no advantage on is the same as losing.

10 Continue to make a daily review of all wagers we make and document those and whether winner or loser promptly admit if it was a good decision or bad decision.

11. Make a conscious effort to learn patience, money management, and humility.

12 Having made an effort to practice these principles in all of our affairs, we tried to carry this message to other future winning gamblers.
