I am pretty much as OP described. I've been to casinos 20 or so times and have never once spent a single penny on any sort of gambling other than poker, despite friends urging me to play the slot machines.

sorry but I think I just ran across a real degen moment. My roommate and I are making bets while watching GAS (nickelodeon game show network). He gave me 6 to 1 on the last remaining team of Ledgends of the Hidden Temple. I picked Blue Barracudas and won. We have been making random $1 on GAS for over 3 hours now. Im getting another beer.

I came home wasted one day and blew my entire roll on 2/4
I barely remember doing it

[/ QUOTE ]

This is why i hated internet poker for the longest time. When i first started I used to grind one table at a time for a couple months when not playing live. Eventually I would build up a decent BR and then come home completely wasted and wake up the next day a few bucks below my original buy-in... which i would then tilt off playing for my full BR trying to get my money back. If only they would invent a breathalyzer for starting your computer....

learning to play dirt cheap sng's when drunk is my greatest internet poker accomplishment...

The worst thing for me is that i sit down in 5000nl with a 6000$ bankroll, and flop the nutstraight and win a 10k pot in 5 minutes (drunk birtday night 10/09/06) since then i have: Played 5000nl with a 20k bankroll drunk...busto. Played 5000nl with a 12K bankroll drunk.....busto. Played 5000nl with an 8k bankroll drunk....busto!!!!! For what its worth ive never depoisted more thank 500 at a time, but that just makes me sicker at myself.

my degenerate story.
I ran up my sportsbetting account from $1500 to $4800 betting 200-300 a game in a week. Next week I lose it back and while on tilt just shove my last $1300 or so on the detroit tigers game on July 4 (I needed them to win by 2 or more as well), final score 6-4 Detroit. Ship it.

were they like -1 1/2 +135 regular line or something or was it some prop? either way pretty awesome.
