Sorry to hear that you have restless legs and neuropathy. I know what they are since I've read about them in the past. I'm diabetic and I'm sure I will have neuropathy soon too if not already starting to have it.

I try to avoid sugar, but I am sweet-toothed so it's really tough. Like last night, me and my wife were eating at the Harbor Club (player lounge at Harrah's in Atlantic City) and they have really good cinnabons for dessert. I ate two of them and it's got a ton of glazed sugar coating on top, so I got my sugar fix for the week. I used to drink a lot of sugared soft drinks in the past but now I drink only the diet cokes, but I drink way too much of them like 2 cases of 12oz x 12 a week and I'm sure that's not good for my liver with all those fake sugar chemicals. I can't have caffeine because it keeps me up all night, so I drink only the decaffeinated ones at least.

I wish I was fired up for the Super Bowl tomorrow, but I am just very nervous. Thanks to you and JDS, all of my parlays are still alive and I have a lot to gain if Seattle wins tomorrow. I have 4 parlays on top of my 2 Seattle moneyline bets.

Single bet of Seattle ML at -205
Single bet of Seattle ML at -230
Parlay of Miami FL ML -310/Seattle ML -230 at -112
Parlay of Louisville ML -500/Miami FL ML -360/Seattle -230 at +120
Parlay of Louisville ML -575/TCU ML -535/Seattle -230 at -101
Parlay of Louisville ML -520/Miami FL ML -395/TCU ML -535/Seattle -230 at +154

It wasn't very wise to have all of my bets with Seattle ML as the anchor since if Seattle loses then I lose them all. Going to an interesting day for me tomorrow.

Go Hawks!!!
I try to drink sparkling water now if I’m suffering. Tastes great. No sugar. Yeah when the pain is high I can’t sleep. Had a banana and whole bunch of magnesium glycinate pills. Anything that helps. And B12. I’m on gabapentin but that don’t work. Let’s hope they win. I have $6 on them. :) I just want to enjoy the victory I hope.

So what’s your wife think about all your big time gambling? Only if you lose right? :)
You saw the persons ticket and thread I posted?
He’s all over Seahawks. Huuuuge bets.
It's funny that asked about that.

My current wife is from my second marriage after my first wife went coo coo due to a servere postpartum condition after having the 3rd child. She was saying stuff like she wanted to kill herself but she wouldn't seek help. I didn't divorce her because of her mental condition, but because of what she did which is a long story.

After I got divorced from my first marriage, I made only one wish to God. Please let me find someone who will let me do whatever I want.

Well, I got my wish but with a huge cost associated with it.

My first wife is as perfect as can be with absolutely ZERO problems. She never liked me gambling because her father was a gambling addict who never won but lost all the time and her family went through a hell because of it. She never really complained about me gambling, but I know she didn't want me to do it because of that.

My second wife is a million times the opposite of my first wife and she has nothing but problems, but she does let me do whatever I want and she never complains. Even if I wanted to find someone who's the total opposite of my first wife, I couldn't find one who is worse than my current wife.

My older brother tells me that she is my challenge from God. Challenge for what? I call BS on that one.

Anyway, my wife has nothing to complain about me gambling and here's why.

She gets a cut out of all my winnings. She doesn't really ask when I win, but I just give it to her anyway and it makes her very happy. But what's the use since she donates them right back to the casino playing slots.

In the last 1/2 year alone since the football season started, I gave her more than $30K. Hard Rock casino says she lost $24K already, so she just can't keep the money I give her and she is the worst gambler on the planet and yet she is a gambling addict.

With my first wife, we went to Vegas every year while we were married for 15 years and she almost never went down to the casino floor. She just wasn't interested in gambling and she was just busy taking care of the kids as she was a great mother.

My current wife doesn't care whether I win or not in gambling, but she knows I'm winning most of the time. When I lose, I tell her how much I lost but she never says anything negative about it.

In the last 2 weeks, I am up like $2,300 in casino gambling and she got more than a thousand from me from them. Before that, she got several thousands from my playoffs parlay winnings. I have no idea how much of that she ended up keeping since I don't follow her around to see what she is doing. All I know is that she plays a lot of slot machines which is nothing but donations to the casino. She does play my game of Pai Gow Tiles but she is just not that good at it.

I haven't seen your post about the big bets on Seattle, but I'm going to look for it now. Thanks.
