I dont actually do any work I have just managed to wangle myself into a position where my income is good but my input is zero. I tell people I'm retired which saves awkwardness.I do have a wife but thats not really relevant.
My job aint easy though & can't do it forever , it's a young guys game so have to make every grand i can , while i can , you don't just turn up at 9am have dinner & clock off at 5 , and i'll probably end up just like you , minus the wife !! |

By:
Next you'll be telling me you have a Pension ...
Some people just don't know what a Grind really is !!! |
|
By:
Exactly. You have a job. Millions of peeps have jobs. Its a choice lump it for the cash or quit for your soul.Its virtually everyones dillemma.
I've never really been pensionable. I am expecting to die before i go skint. |
|
By:
Yes , but What am i Working For !?!?
If i had no money at all i'd have a better life , get housing benefit paying my rent etc , plus get a pension at the end of it all |
|
By:
Well thats an ambition of sorts.Give up the poker and go for it.
|

By:
I 've made the cash already if you see my point , what else is there worth getting out of bed for every day , and more to the point why should i , when so many doss around on benefits all their lives ?
It drives me to an extent , but just as Fornivan says it's the Urge that keeps me going , i thrive on winning , not the end result , or what it can buy me , just like many other successful gamblers it's just numbers on a screen to me |

This is just made up anxt.Do it or dont do it. What the fck answer do you want? The meaning of life is two cents extra. Failing that play poker/dont play poker.Live with your misery or change. its up to you.

half my stuff is in boxes. i wanna get a house with enough room for a pool table and a runny thing. wtf are they called...treadmill probably lol. then i'll feel more like earning money and more like exercising and more like relaxing. my life will have some sort of schedule. right now im just waiting for stuff to happen, feel like im in prison. just a cycle of getting up, being bored, going to bed. a femaler to add to my problems isnt really on the cards!

I agree . poor sod has so much money but don't need it cos he sad . boo hoo. make your choices get on with it. Do you really need to be up at 6am staring into a computer screen ? Not very healthy is it. Find a balance. There that's your answer.

Have the weak and needy proliferated in society in general or does betfair attract them specifically?

I know exactly how u feel mate , i was suicidal for years before i moved
then when i did move i almost had a breakdown , broke out in dandruff though stress , just as you i thought i'd exercise & get fit when i moved , but all i do is keep trying to mae money all day every day , haven't even decorated the place properly & been here a year already now , things just don't happen as am too busy/stressed & already wanna move again  |
|
By:
Mc M, 100K is not a lot of money. Get yourself an around the world ticket and have a year off to get yourself organised.
|
|
By:
Irish , that's the thing what would i do otherwise , might start growing my drugs or something vaguely interesting , at least i'd sleep properly then .....
|
|
By:
Mc M, at this rate your epitaph will be "dealing the flop."
You are much better than that mate. |
|
By:
Not sure you will sleep too good with a garden in the spare bedroom mate
 Obviously medication and talking to a counsellor would be a starting point if you feel that sh1t but hey easier said than done. If you wanna feel better you gotta break the cycle tho its that simple. |
|
By:
I'm not saying it's a lot , or i'm Rich , but he asked so i told him , many guys i grew u with are 40 & still rent places with a few grand to their name , that's why i had to move away & go my own way .

That's Bond, not me. |
|
By:
Full of sad wannabees pretending they're James Bond that go home & eat beans on toast before falling asleep on the sofa

I would say you have got to do something where you are working with people (or volunteer work) ...this will help you view the world as a better place......gradually cut down on the poker
You will meet someone you like.... Having kids gives you a great reason to live.....it all changes then. |
|
By:
did u win kenny , hope so after 20 years
|
|
By:
No, I lost a fortune. The chicks distracted me. Fortunately no such distraction on here.
|
|
By:
you got kids then Lep ?
you're right i need to see the world as a better place as all i ever see is thieves robbing each other , but that is the world imo it's a very sad desperate place ! |
