an addiction at that point when you're
actually playing the game and betting on
the game that you're actually playing in
I can see if it's betting on other
sports or betting in other areas or
aspects of Life yes you bet on but your
own games that you're playing in just to
earn a little extra now I understand I
in in a sense I want to see it from his
perspective as far as you know what I
don't

much money as some of these other other
foods are making I need I need a little
extra on the side okay guess what you

this 2 how how much we takeing off this
22 cuz you got to pay taxes on that too
so how much are we slicing off that I
mean you know what's funny it's bad is
it's bad all the way around either way
it's bad all the way around I mean him
actually gambling and obviously you know
the reason why he was doing it it's only
because he wasn't making other players
May that's ridiculous man it's the three
oo it's the three why you think why you
why you think Michael Jordan go and bet
a 100,000 a hand he was too big because
the only thing the only thing that gives
you that Rush yeah of the the sport that
you played is
that c this like you don't know what's
gonna happen you like you sit hey hey
you you playing Blackjack and you wait

excuses for him about we have
sponsorship we have deal
we have all this all these other things
that are going on but as players if they
say you can gamble you can't Gamble and
I don't think it starts now I think the
gambling stems from you doing it long
before you even made it long before you
even made it because anything that's an
addiction when you get to the Pinnacle
of your childhood dream you made it to
the NBA you made it to the NFL or
whatever sport you might play if it says
there is no gambling it should be very
easy not to gamble it's a fact fact that
at this point even though you made it
