Greedy or Not Greedy???
when it comes to wagering ...do you consider yourself greedy (can't resist) unloading frequently a.k.a. horrible money management.

Not greedy. Most people in this business lose not because they can't pick 50% winners, but because of bad money management.

I am very greedy, I get cocky and go for the kill. Sometimes I get real greedy and waste my money on BIG parlays. However it just takes the one to hit to make up for 50 more. I agree money management is the hardest part to gambling. Whenever I win real big I feel the need to up my bets. This is a no no most of the time lol

Not greedy, although this hasn't always been the case. Been sports gambling about 15 years and for at least half of those years I was quite abit more greedy than I am now.

Like it how I am now and will never go back (hopefully).

Used to be greedy... now I am trying not too.. Colts killed me though, I tried to double my bankroll and they couldn't pull off a win.

So I don't know what you will count it as.. since then I have been doing good not chasing any losses.. usually because if I have a bad day I try to win it back in poker.. hehe

I think the question should be

self disciplined or not?
