I don't think I even have an aquaintance that doesn't know my opinion on gambling

Told my wife before we got married that I play a lot of golf and gamble a lot on sports...take it or leave it

Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

Spouse and kids know, but not the extent of how much.

Work does not know. I recently purchased a business and vowed not to discuss it with my employees.

I am an open gambler, mom knows, brothers know, the girlfriend knows as well. The way I look at it, there is no reason to hide anything & if you do, there must be a problem which is why your hiding.

Of course, I do it within reason, dont bet more then I can afford to lose, dont play for the sake of gambling either. If there is a good game(s), I will do it, if the board sucks, I will wait for another day too.
