There were times years ago I literally lost a car

[jjgold]

Back in the day when you were into a bookmaker you had to pay whatever means possible I never had nice cars, no gambler has so I had to give up one or two

anyone else had to give up a possession or a business or something like that a watch

Many posters have given up their soul gambling. They have gone to extreme measures.

JJ, Have you seen a gambler have nothing and have to give up the clothes on his back?
That would be a rock bottom day.

I know a guy who shot himself in the leg at his pizzeria claimed he was robbed. Made an insurance claim and collected 200k. 1986.

Never bet on credit in my life, my motto has always been if you don’t have the cash then you must take a pass. I also taught my son that.

Always have 10+ year old cars that run good. Honestly could be a millionaire and would still probably drive a 2011 town car only difference is it would be an absolute cream puff

When I was a sophomore in high school, we would watch the seniors play 2 card guts in the school parking lot on a car hood during free period or lunch. I saw a guy throw his car keys in the pot for an all in. One guy called him. The guy that threw his keys in had 2 kings. The guy that stayed in had two bullets (aces). He sold the car back to the guy about a week later for a few hundred.
