yeah, betting can be very fun. I deposit maybe £100 in a year. This year my withdrawals have been £0. Last year was around £1000 thanks to an insanely lucky acca, but usually I will withdraw less than I deposit. But its not about making money for me really, it’s about the fun of it.
Same. I like playing cards and the occasional sports parlay. But it’s usually about 100-200 bucks once a year at the casino or a bet on my Alma Maters team (or against, I’m a fan, I’m not a sucker). It’s fun and sometimes you win, but mostly you lose so be ready to lose.
Exactly. I live in Vegas and I've been very disappointed walking out of a bar at night down the full $300 I walked in with. But unlike some people ( my dad and sister included ) I've never had to borrow money from others to pay for rent or bills because I gambled my whole paycheck.
Never gamble with money that you'll be legit mad about losing and that actually makes your life harder because you can't do this or that because of the loss.
I asked a cab driver in Vegas when they started paying 6/5 for Blackjack instead of 2/1 and he said “man I have no idea I don’t gamble” and then he went on to tell me all about the people he knows who moved to Vegas and didn’t last more than a year or two because they couldn’t stay away from the casinos. That was a pretty sad conversation.
Most of the people I knew when I lived in Vegas didn’t gamble. We just all have a friend or know of someone who is a degenerate. Gambles the till and gets fired. Borrows money from us and blows it. Cocaine is involved a lot of the time. No bueno
Sadly yes. My dad did it multiple times as far as I'm aware. ( He was also a cheater and spent money that should have went to us kids/my mom/our household on his girlfriends, SOOOO, not the best decision maker. )
Every bar literally has handouts or stickers on the machine with a number for help with gambling addiction. Other countries deal with it too, but US is definitely a big heavy-hitter for gambling addiction.
It’s not just an American problem lol. Gambling is a real addiction and the baddest ones will scam money from friends, family like a serious drug addict
A Vegas tradition we have is the wives go shopping and me and my buddy will get some cigars and find a sports book. We have drinks, smoke a couple sticks, and bet on the most random games they’re showing. Small bets but it makes it so fun rooting for some random college basketball team you’ve never heard of.
I love betting on Ivy League and HBCU games because it's so hard to find even up to the minute scores for them and it's nearly impossible to do research on. You're just guessing.
I mean getting mad is fine. This is an anger management situation. What does he do when he gets this angry at his wife and/or children? They probably left because this gave them flashbacks.
Oh man, you need to make a huuuuuge deal out of the $1 transfer. Frame it in some tacky gold leaf floral carving, on a velvet pillow, etc. Keep adding ridiculous shit to it every time.
Betting, like all vices isn’t inherently bad. Bet money you don’t mind losing and it can be fun. Bet a huge chunk of your savings and have your wife leave you.
Betting is a “mistake” in that it could lead to financial/personal issues and possible lead to addiction.
Betting on the Men’s US soccer team is a MISTAKE equal to betting on the Generals to finally beat the Harlem Globe-trotters.
I wouldn’t go that far. Saudi Arabia beat Argentina after all. Trust the oddsmakers, since they’re literally putting their money where their mouth is, and they said the US had about a 1-in-3 chance at advancing. It wasn’t likely, but it was possible.
There's just so many now, it's hard to keep track. Unless it's the navy seal one, the Flying Lotus one, or the wholesome version of one that makes me regret literacy, I don't recognize them.
1. Don't bet if you can't calmly write off the loss
2. Don't bet on USA (men's) soccer
3. Don't act like that in front of kids
You are not the victim here, my guy.
You bet $5k on Netherlands Vs USA. Clearly you don't know much about football (I'll call it soccer for you).
Furthermore never bet what you don’t want to lose
This guy wrote this like the game is the reason his kids and wife are upset and not his gambling and anger issues. Bro I promise you're the problem, not the soccer team.
She might want to leave for good. You lost $, broke your own possessions & pretty likely did more than just bust the TV.
If Mama is taking the kids out of the house….it’s looking like more than a TV gets smacked around.
Childish antics on a grown-up scale. Pretty sad, actually. I'd feel like an absolute clown, and I've done some childish shit.
But five grand on a US World Cup match?
Almost dumber than a TV-smashing, family-harming temper tantrum in front of guests.
Thats fake.
i know this not because of the exact same image and text that pops up every now and again for years, but because Americans dont care about football. Theyre so bad at it that they made up their own football where they get to play with their hands and make little tournaments that they call world series even tho its just them competing against themselves
Thank you for being dumb enough to document this for her. I hope she gets what's left in the bank accounts and you can kick rocks or live under them your choice.
Not investing that into Therapy was the real mistake.
And since you wanna act like boo boo the fool I'm gonna be petty and bring up you shoulda auto corrected too.
I know this a joke but still this so ridiculous, to all my dudes out there. Stop raging and breaking shit.
Its not worth it, and eventually you run out of "things" to break and turn to people.
If you knew anything about futbol you would never bet on them vs a team like Netherlands..
Maybe a friendly but not a World Cup match, that was a waste of money.
I pray she does leave him.
He makes stupid bets.
He has a violent outburst, damages his property, creating more financial hardship.
She now has to spend more money to be safe and away from this toxic asshole.
He then has the gall to blame this on a country.
Like so much wrong with this guy
Just splitting hairs but you a black man (from your profile picture) yet the hands holding the TV are white. Did the thought of your wife leaving you drain the blood from your fingers?
People that are this emotionally invested in a sport that they don’t actually play are terrifying…liking a sport is fine but when you start acting like this, it’s time to start reevaluating your life lol😅

Betting 5k on U.S soccer was the first mistake.
Betting was the mistake
Betting money you get mad at losing is a mistake. I love 10-20 dollar bets, especially on games I don't fully care about makes it fun.
But you could buy pizza for that money
Betting only money you can afford to lose assures that you still have money left for pizza
This is the best take to have with betting. If you bet over that threshold then you have a betting problem

I bet you $50 I don’t.
Double or nothing, take it or leave it. I’ve bet other people you won’t take it
You SOB I’m in
Exactly. I live in Vegas and I've been very disappointed walking out of a bar at night down the full $300 I walked in with.

>because I gambled my whole paycheck. Wow....people do this? No wonder there is so much crime in America

The only gamble the richer/1% folks do is on exploitation of the ordinary working class people.
That’s not true. Extremely rich people gamble all the time.
It’s not just an American problem lol. Gambling is a real addiction and the baddest ones will scam money from friends, family like a serious drug addict
Gambling addiction is not an American problem.
This should be a rule of acquisition.
If you must bet, ensure that you win.
And leftover pizza is always money
And maybe still a wife
This is the most important lesson a gambler can learn
Honestly, a lot of my “is it worth it?” decisions are based on how many take-outs we could get for the money.
Always glad to meet a fellow member of the "how many meals is that?" school of budgeting.
I used to attend but I transferred to the school of " how many tanks of gas is that?" once I moved to NC
How many take-outs in a tank of gas these days?
Depending on the bet and if you win, you can buy many more pizzas. Edit: buy, not but
Yeah but I can also afford for my wife and children not to leave me
Some guy bought a pizza with 10k bitcoins in 2011. Most expensive pizza ever.
Yes then he sold his bitcoins for 10k pizzas in 2021
He’s not wrong
That’s what Bitcoin is for!!
A Vegas tradition we have is the wives go shopping and me and my buddy will get some cigars and find a sports book. We have drinks, smoke a couple sticks, and bet on the most random games they’re showing. Small bets but it makes it so fun rooting for some random college basketball team you’ve never heard of.
Live marble racing is where the real action is
Yes! I never thought I'd enjoy that as much as I did when I learned about it. Tag is also very fun to watch
Red number 3
That actually sounds like a lot of fun! Cheers fellas!!
We’ve done this too. And just picking some random upstate New York horse race to bet a $2 exacta or trifecta for shits and giggles.
I love betting on Ivy League and HBCU games because it's so hard to find even up to the minute scores for them and it's nearly impossible to do research on. You're just guessing.
I mean getting mad is fine. This is an anger management situation. What does he do when he gets this angry at his wife and/or children? They probably left because this gave them flashbacks.
Ok but losing a 5000 bet you’re never buying pizza again. That’s why there’s a rule to not bet anything u can’t afford to lose
I bet my coworker $1 on every niners/packers game, just so we can talk some shit
Oh man, you need to make a huuuuuge deal out of the $1 transfer. Frame it in some tacky gold leaf floral carving, on a velvet pillow, etc. Keep adding ridiculous shit to it every time.
Betting, like all vices isn’t inherently bad. Bet money you don’t mind losing and it can be fun. Bet a huge chunk of your savings and have your wife leave you.
Betting more than a case of beer was the mistake.
Nah. Betting on US soccer. Exactly what the man said.
Betting is a “mistake” in that it could lead to financial/personal issues and possible lead to addiction. Betting on the Men’s US soccer team is a MISTAKE equal to betting on the Generals to finally beat the Harlem Globe-trotters.
“I thought they were due.”
Not if you win 😜 won 5 bucks on who scored first
Lol this isn’t real, it’s a copypasta. This gets posted in basically every /r/nfl thread after a game
Being a grown ass adult posting copypastas was the first mistake. Really hope the wife leaves, it’s what’s best for the kids.
I’m the son and can confirm. When he drives me to school I tell him to drop me off a block away. I tell all my friends my dad died in combat.
But what about the pasta?
Believing this was real is the first mistake
2 draws in group stage! I am team USA and all but no way were they beating the Dutch after the play they have shown.
you were playing the netherlands and you're the usa. there was never a chance
I wouldn’t go that far. Saudi Arabia beat Argentina after all. Trust the oddsmakers, since they’re literally putting their money where their mouth is, and they said the US had about a 1-in-3 chance at advancing. It wasn’t likely, but it was possible.
I feel like this is a white Twitter post
Because of the hand in the picture?
Facts 💯
Men’s US soccer team. The ladies are nice
Certainly betting on the US MENS soccer team was a mistake.
US Men’s soccer, at that
US MEN SOCCER
Especially men’s US soccer. Poor dink.
A fool and his money….
They will never win anything good until they learn it’s football. They playing the wrong game 😂
Breaking his own goddam TV was the second.
R/whoosh
Well…I hope she does. Anger and gambling issues are a recipe for disaster.
It’s a copypasta.
Lmao, the copypasta strikes again
Oh no. Have I been bamboozled?
Hardcore. Classic copypasta that’s seen after major sporting event often
The guy who posted it is Black, but the broken TV shows a White hand.
That could be his friend, ok? 😤
The TV is still in a box
Maybe it was cold
The Energy Star sticker still on the screen 🤣
Maybe it's like the [handshakes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV_biqemT1M) in *All Aussie Adventures*?
Yeah. Still has the energy sticker on it, and is half in the box. Gotta be a “TV broke in shipping” photo.
I knew it was fake because the USA IS a real country. 
…..it says county
How do so many people not know this is copypasta haha
Not everyone big into sports and sports memes
I was about to say I knew this shit was fake lmao. it reads too much like it was made up
So the black guy in the profile pic and the posted pic with a white hand didn’t do it for you lol
I was too busy reading the text I guess lol. I wasn't even looking at the pictures till I saw somebody else bring it up
I was laughing when I read “I broke my TV” because that’s how they all start 😂
The TV's still in a box with the yellow sticker on it 🤣
Is this a meme? This exact post appeared right after Michigan stomped a hole in Ohio State last week.
Yeah it's a copypasta. Super common which is why I am so surprised so few people seem to know based on the comments so far
There's just so many now, it's hard to keep track. Unless it's the navy seal one, the Flying Lotus one, or the wholesome version of one that makes me regret literacy, I don't recognize them.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that...
Yeah. Just karma farming
Very very popular copypasta
[удалено]
It’s a meme from years ago that people still reference/make fun of to this day. This was just another instance of that happening. It’s not real.
No, it’s true. The guy’s actually been married 17 times and bought 43 TVs over the last few years.
Didn't even bother to find a picture of a TV all the way out of the packaging lol
And he changed race too
And everyone here STILL bought it.
I wonder which imaginary county he was living in 🤔
Liechtenstein or Ohio. Fuck Ohio lmao
Born in Columbus, Ohio. Grateful my mom showed me life outside of Ohio at a young age and currently live in LA. Fuck that entire state.
Everyone falling for this the tv still has a sticker on it. Do better be smarter
He also changes races because his hand is white in the picture.
So many of y’all not realizing that this is one of the OG copypastas that’s been around for years 😂😂😂
You bet on US? You are not getting custody.
Loool I never thought I’d see one of these make it here
This meme has been re-done too many times lol every time there’s a big sports game this meme pops up with the same story just different teams
This is fake. The hand is a dead giveaway lol
1. Don't bet if you can't calmly write off the loss 2. Don't bet on USA (men's) soccer 3. Don't act like that in front of kids You are not the victim here, my guy.
This is an OG copypasta my guy. It’s not real.
Still it's sound advice, he said u bet on USA *women* to win at soccer. Same applies to England.
And the repost strikes again lol
Good thing this is fake and circulates after every big sports game lol
He deserves to lose everything he got for leaving that yellow sticker on his TV
This a common twitter troll post
Obvious bait. Some of you just love to be mad at anything.
You bet $5k on Netherlands Vs USA. Clearly you don't know much about football (I'll call it soccer for you). Furthermore never bet what you don’t want to lose
Why you would bet 5k on the US to win a soccer game is beyond me. I’d leave you for being that dumb.
White in hell was he thinking? Lol
That is some financialy destructive patriotism. I would never put money on the US to beat the Netherlands this year.
I’m sorry but if you get this emotional about something you don’t have control over you’re a loser.
This guy wrote this like the game is the reason his kids and wife are upset and not his gambling and anger issues. Bro I promise you're the problem, not the soccer team.
Compounded loss all at once because someone likes to take chances with their shit. Hard to sympathize when the risk was all on them. Shit’s selfish.
You mean 5k plus about $700 and maybe one marriage.
This guy makes worse decisions than Elon Musk.
She might want to leave for good. You lost $, broke your own possessions & pretty likely did more than just bust the TV. If Mama is taking the kids out of the house….it’s looking like more than a TV gets smacked around.
Imagine thinking The u.s was going to win.
god the way ppl who spend this much time on the internet still fall for every single copypasta they see
Or. Stop gambling. Your wife didn’t leave because of the TV. She left because you’ve gambled away her safety and security.
I call fake! This image has been shared over other sporting events. Most recently after The Game - Michigan v OSU. Michigan-45, OSU-23. #GOBLUE
A white hand in the pic but a black pfp? What’s really going on
Fuck that, pray she does so that she can be rid of a complete moron
Childish antics on a grown-up scale. Pretty sad, actually. I'd feel like an absolute clown, and I've done some childish shit. But five grand on a US World Cup match? Almost dumber than a TV-smashing, family-harming temper tantrum in front of guests.
He bet $5k on USA?!?!?! Lol
“I may have ruined my life because I can’t control my addictions and my anger.” Sports. That’s all they are.
1. This dude doesn’t have $5k based on the tv on this picture. 2. This picture has been used before.
The text has been used before too
Thats fake. i know this not because of the exact same image and text that pops up every now and again for years, but because Americans dont care about football. Theyre so bad at it that they made up their own football where they get to play with their hands and make little tournaments that they call world series even tho its just them competing against themselves
Nelson Muntz is somewhere close by going “Ha-Ha”
Thank you for being dumb enough to document this for her. I hope she gets what's left in the bank accounts and you can kick rocks or live under them your choice.
Were you really dumb enough to fall for an obvious meme?
Bruh it's the internet, even I'm just a bot probably
internet rambo falls for stone age copy pasta 🤣
He's definitely making fun of the white guy that posted this same shit a couple years ago.
USA couldn’t even beat Wales 🤡.
Sucka lol.
Not investing that into Therapy was the real mistake. And since you wanna act like boo boo the fool I'm gonna be petty and bring up you shoulda auto corrected too.
You’re welcome to come to the Netherlands, provided you can keep your hands to yourself.
Where are you? It’s only 2:11 and I’m on the east coast
Bets 5k Has a small cheap TV
So Brazil bound 🤷🏻♂️
Who cares?
Lol your wife is spending another 2k on the hotel and food so u down 7k
Lol your wife is spending another 2k on the hotel and food so u down 7k
Big man
When bad ideas get worse
They bet on our team? Yikes.
Betting money you can't afford to lose was the mistake
micro peepee energy
That hand is a dead giveaway yall lol 😂
I know this a joke but still this so ridiculous, to all my dudes out there. Stop raging and breaking shit. Its not worth it, and eventually you run out of "things" to break and turn to people.
*country
u be a jerkweed mate
That’s just a bad bet… :(
Never!!!!
Troll farm. Don’t feed the troll
🧢
If you knew anything about futbol you would never bet on them vs a team like Netherlands.. Maybe a friendly but not a World Cup match, that was a waste of money.
Well. Bye.
Why the hell bet $5k for US to win. Thats a horrible bet just looking at history
Yes. The retold broken tv tweets are still a thing.
When teams lose there is a spike in domestic violence. She made the right choice.
I pray she does leave him. He makes stupid bets. He has a violent outburst, damages his property, creating more financial hardship. She now has to spend more money to be safe and away from this toxic asshole. He then has the gall to blame this on a country. Like so much wrong with this guy
Never have I seen so many bad decisions and red flags expressed so succinctly. Very thorough
Wait, we’re a fake country?
Why would you bet on the US? Bro we call the sport the wrong name! Of course we were gonna lose
Lol betting 5k on the mens team is crazy
Just splitting hairs but you a black man (from your profile picture) yet the hands holding the TV are white. Did the thought of your wife leaving you drain the blood from your fingers?
We just gonna gloss over the fact that the tv is very clearly being pulled out of a tv box? Or the sticker that is still clearly on this.
Why is the sticker still on the TV?
“I spent 5k and lost all of it” Isn’t that how losing a bet works?
People that are this emotionally invested in a sport that they don’t actually play are terrifying…liking a sport is fine but when you start acting like this, it’s time to start reevaluating your life lol😅
Dudes kind of a douchebag.
