Today I bet & WON - Today I bought with WINNINGS thread - Today I received

This gets me thinking about stackers.  A lot of people fit into a profile...

dont really trust the establishment 

wasted lot of money in past gambling/alcohol

collected other things in past

sold on eBay to make money

brexit supporters 

dont really trust pensions 

40-65

vegetable growers/jam makers

dont waste money on expensive cars/meals out/weekends away

understand trump but don’t 100% agree with him

dog lovers

a pain to like with because spend majority of time on the silver forum

and probably more

these are my observations some will fall into more than others but sure all will fit into some

do you have to sell some silver if the bet loses?😉

A £5 accumulator or a random £20 straight win is about my limit to scratch my gamble itch these days.

Anything over an oz of silver gambled is pain if it loses to me now  

Paul I'm not getting at you mate but I noticed you didn't address my question and your subsequent post kinda goes against your OP, putting £450 on an odds on favourite that won you over £400.

Im sure you're aware that betting on favourites is a proven losing strategy; the bookies love such punters.

I don't know whether your Liverpool bet was a one off or whether you don't remember the losers, but it seems to me there's a little selective memory going on here, typical of gamblers.😉

@sovereignsteve the £450 on odds on fav is NOT my bet, I didnt make it. it was a google images find and x25 oz silver set up I made with what i had around in the house, which was equivlent to the screen grab I found, to just show off what pictures to post and thoughts may work for this thread?  an accumulator on the footy or a £20 straight win is my limit these days and I am content with that

My thoughts for starting this thread it was to try and help folk with a strategy that worked for me to near fully kick my gamble habit, if they find they re-gamble whatever winnings they get, if I can get someone to squrrel their winnings into precious metals it may help them on the road to recovery.  Admittance you have/ or have had a problem with gambling, is one of the first steps to recovery

Oops, as you say, misunderstanding due to your coin picture with your name on it being in the same post as the betting slip. No harm done😁

The connection is surplus cash, past gamblers or drinkers existed on a certain income to cover their losses, so now they still exist on that level but the money they spent on that stuff is now on silver or gold and the addiction still continues and feelings of euthoria and depression are there each time the price rises or falls, traders have the same things going on, they have a lot of addictive bahaviour too, some drugs, some drink, some womanizing, to feed  their thrill mentality, a normal hum drum life is like death to some people, one reason we own silver and gold and dont ETF it...we need that thrill in person, the high, the sense of winning, or the thrill of potentially lossing.

[DarkChameleon]

I have won $500 several times and at first would keep it aside to continue buying scratch ch tickets but found I'd spend more when I wasn't dipping into my weekly allowance and using winning money...so I'd spend $300 buying silver or gold jewelry, that has forced me back to smaller gambling habits, as I'm gambling an ounce of silver on a scratchticket, which I still do but those winnings have added up and that feeling of euthoria over a $100 winner is now a thrill over 5 eagles or britannias or 4 grams of 14k jewelry.

It's like magnifying a win and looking at my stash is reducing the loss if I have a run of losing tickets.

I am a syndicate member of a shoot in Cambridgeshire (pheasant and partridge) and shoot with friends in Hampshire.

As for fishing - the Test and northern Scotland.

Fly fishing in the UK and sea fishing in Australia. 

Fly fishing is the most pleasurable by a country mile!

I've done a bit of fishing in the gulf waters off fort myers and naples but the red tide has put waste to that for the next year or so.

Very nice ! 

I think i'll be picking up a fly rod next year. Not fly fished for probably 20 years. Last time i went was a Ladybower Res. 

Tight lines !

Ah...I do go to the occasional range when in the US, but mostly I am I to country sports in England and Scotland

Over here we prefer to blow as much of the countryside away as we can, level whole hills if the machine guns comes out.

Hi Billy

I have been fishing for years and have been using Hardy and Sage rods reels etc .

I was stunned to use some of the cheaper rods last year - they are amazing particularly the Greys ones. 

Not sure where you are but Grafham is every good as is Elinor. 

Ping me if you ever want any other recommendations.
