Around 11. I used to go to the bowling alley with my dad and the guy always had the football card. I remember winning once when I first started lol.

I was 25, I was a late bloomer because I knew I would get hooked, and it was the over in the Raiders/Bucs Super Bowl for $50, just think how different my life would be right now if it would have lost, lol

I was 18 or 19. I can`t think that far back on the first bet I made, but it was probably an NFL game.

Played my dad's NFL/NCAA office pool cards when I was 13 and 14. Studied the lines in the paper, and I won the weekly prize 8 or 9 times and won the overall year-end $1000 prize both years. Felt good winning big money, and I felt like I was smarter than a bunch of guys in their 30's and 40's. My fate was sealed.

About 10 years old at Churchill Downs in Louisville...My Aunt wagered $2 a race on all the races...I got to pick the horse.....That was the adrenaline rush that has haunted me all my life.
