What do you do besides sports betting?

Tommy · 10-13-06, 12:11 AM

What do you do for a living and what else do you do for fun besides bet on sports?

I pretty much just play poker, watch sports, comedy and news on TV.

Sometimes I like to go to AC and play some craps

I used to be out and about when I was younger, now I mostly spend my time on the computer at home.

I'm as you can tell by my name a father of 2.9, just waiting for .9 to come out anyday now.

I played professional golf from 98-01 before getting into Real Estate after in 02, I've made a nice chunk of money doing this here in AZ over the last 4 years. I still own 8 houses at the moment which I rent out 7 and live in the other. I made a killing from 03 to 05 and am able to do as I please now, which is mostly spend time with my family, I try and golf atleast once a month with some friends.

My wife is a teacher, this is her 1st year she just graduated from ASU in May. And already she is on maternity leave

.

I'm looking into opening a NY style deli somewhere here within the next 3 to 6 months, been looking for the right spot and have narrowed it down to 2 locations. Just can't get a good sub or hard roll sandwhich here...

Born and raised in NY for 24 years... thats about it...

Forgot also looking to move to Vegas sometime next year as well depending on all the bullshit going on. Or just my buy a PT home for college season...

full time student going to school, pre-law major, gamble as a way to get away from daily life takes you away for a few hours into your own little land, i gamble more for profit than fun, dont really have a job. in the spare time like hanging out with the family (have 3 nephews), playing sports (for wut i can lol) collecting sports cards, and just enjoying life as a young adult not too many responsibilites at this age therefore gotta enjoy it.

I like this question cause' I often wonder about many of the members here.So I'll be honest and tell some. I am Old Head,name is OK because I am getting old to say the least. I still work If you can call it that. I run poker games in AC. Have five children,two ex wives,one grandchild. I have been in the casino business for over twenty five years. Craps and Poker exclusively.
I enjoy the hell out of betting sports, playing poker,family and watching sports. Since I have been divorced for almost twenty years I enjoy that freedom also. There is more but don't want to bore you.
Hope more members post here. Interesting to say the least!

GOOD LUCK!

I was forced into retirement about 12 years ago(auto-accident), Don't normally talk about it, It brings back bad memories. I like to play poker, sports gambling, get togethers with family. Divorced, 1 daughter(grown up). I have been on both sides of the gambling fence and it gives you a different outlook on gambling which has helped me greatly as a bettor. I like watching movies and spending quiet time at home with a woman. My last Girlfriend of 9 years made me change my way of thinking when it comes to relationships. I tell them to bring an overnight bag, but, nothing that has to be hung up!!!
