Well the idiots have created another form of chaos in the form of "bracketology" and the tv and radio stations are beginning their assult in the form of hype. I've always been one to believe that the masses are asses. As a gambler, sports investor, what ever label you want to hang on me...rest assured that sports betting is not fun for me. It's like going to the track and playing the ponies day after day. How many days did I just sit there and not make a bet...a lot of days seemed to pass before you would make a play at times. I've learned you can beat a race but not the races. So there I sit with my racing forum and I'm talking to some folks who just hit a nice sized tri and they get all excited. They start buying drinks for everybody and become friendly with everyone. "You don't show much emotion" a guy said to me. "Are you losing?" I just looked at him with this puzzled look. So I ask him if I was supposed to be having fun. His response was..."yes, isn't that why people come here?"
I then explaned to him that I can go someplace else and have fun. This is work to me. He didn't get it. So like I was saying, the masses are asses. For some, basketball is like breathing, without it they can't live. The whole PAIN is temprary, PRIDE is forever thing. Lest they forget that they wouldn't get anywhere without their teammates. Kinda like we all here at the betters chat forum. We all are trying to do the same thing (win money) but working different programs to reach our end result.
The challange for everyone here on this forum should be to ask yourself...."how can I help my fellow gambler?" Ever wonder why the ball never seems to bounce you way more often than naught? Karma has a funny way of sneeking up behind you and kicking your ass when your not doing the right things.
So I ask you two questions...What would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?....and.... What would you attempt if you knew nothing would ever workout? The first question urges you to dream big. The second, to be truly committed.
What is worth doing even if you can't succeed? Is there a moutain worth climbing even if there's no hope of reaching the top? Think about it. Standing on the top of a mountain is a moment, supposedly the moment that makes it all worth it all. Makes it worth all what? A lifetime of disconnection, alienation and misplaced priorities? The worlds saddest person is that tragic has-been who is always speaking about the woulda, shoulda, coulda thing. Or, always talking about there one shining moment...the 15 min of fame thing.
Do you really want to be that guy? How can you modify your betting habits to increase your bankroll 3-5 percent? What are you learning in life to help others along? Finally, how deep is your commitment to what your doing with your life? Millions of people long for immortality who don't know what to do with themselves on rainy afternoon. Life, if you will, is that rainy afternoon. What are you going to do with it?
I'm talking about embracing a commitment far greater than your own selfish desires.
Now the movie is over, the credits are rolling. What's next?
Can't we all just get along?
