"Hello world" (weezy voice)....
Odds are whatever gets written from here on out is gonna get me in a lot of trouble with a lot of people. But I only live once, so what do I have to lose? IDGAS! Welcome to the blog of Mister BetMore, which we can simply refer to as the MBB. As is the case with most things in my life, I'm cheating by taking this name. The name Mister BetMore was actually given to my father, the BIG JD, by a friend during a reckless $50,000 night in Atlantic City when the BIG JD insisted that his friend continue to "Bet More" money on each blackjack hand. But as you can see below, family comes first, and my father is my idol, so I am taking on this name to extend the tradition and bring it to the lime light. My plan with this blog is threefold. Fold 1. Create an outlet for myself where I can post my feelings and thoughts on shit and have people let me know how they feel. I truly believe that great conversation spurs from people having polarizing opinions. I typically take a pole. Fold 2. Create a following with a diverse crowd. I'm going to talk about sports. But I am also going to rap about sex, and money, and gambling, things that all different types of people can get into. So feel free to request topics you want my opinion on and we can go to war. Fold 3. Therapy. Shit. I got issues. So without further ado, I bring you my first post to the new blog.
I'm a loser babyyyyy so why don't you kill me???
It is important for you to understand that this is my first entry. It will be more emotional than most of the following. But I want to give my readers some insight into who I am as a person before I just start writing about sports and gambling and fantasy sports and sex.....
I recently posted a blog entry on my boy Handy Cap's blog at http://ifgamblingwerelegal.blogspot.com/ (check him out - he is money). It more or less gave a preview of important story lines for week one of the NFL. But it started out with a paragraph about the definition of Gambling. I love the definition "To engage in reckless or hazardous behavior". Because let's face it, we all gamble. We do it every day, all day long. We may not like to admit it, but we all do it. Every time you get in a car, hop on the subway, get on your lil moped, whatever it is that you do, you are gambling. Some of us just like to gamble on sports, or in love. Me, shit, I will gamble on anything. I once made bets on Wrestlemania, and LOST (I was really dumb enough to think Shawn Michaels could beat the Undertaker). It is really kind of sick when I step back and think about it, but at the same time, I LOVE IT. I honestly can not get enough of it. Blowing money on things I have absolutely no control over, is right at the top of my list of things to do. Do I owe people money? Yes. Am I going to pay them? No. Because I'm "reckless". But my biggest gambles certainly are not made with money. No No (KK voice). My biggest gambles are made on matters of the heart.
When I fall, boy do I FALL. Have I always made good decisions on matters of love? NOPE. Do I plan to start making good decisions now? NOPE. You see, when you have gone through the things that I have gone through in my life you just carry this "IDGAS" attitude. Figure it out people, its not rocket science. I don't give a shit. And thats what I love about me. Sure my "IDGAS" attitude has gotten me into some serious troubles over my time, but what can you do? People say you live and you learn. I always preached that experience was the toughest teacher, because it gives u the test first and the lesson after (I even tried to take credit for that quote in my senior year book). Regardless of that, its true. And my experiences lately have been teaching me a ton. Only problem is, I have not been listening! For those of you who have seen the movie 'Two For The Money", (check out starting at 1:55 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7Ddmf8VNDQ)you can remember a great scene when Al Pacino is talking about how TRUE gamblers do not want to win. They actually want to lose, because the thrill of everything being against you is really what gets them off. "Gambling is not your problem, its this fucked up need to feel something, to convince yourself that you exist". Man, if Al Pacino didn't read my god damn mind. And it's not even just about money. That is what I want you to understand. I have made gambling wagers on sports. I have won. I have won BIG. But inherently, I always knew I would give my winnings back, like you would send back cold soup at a deli (for my seinfeld fans). The real problem I have, is that I act the same way when it comes to love. All I ever want to DO, is mess shit up. I have had great relationships with some great girls, and what do I do? I find the dumbest reasons ever to fight with them, and make them not want me anymore. (As we get further along in this blog you will get more clarification on references I make about people, i.e. KK, and code names for Ex's) I seriously fought with an ex once because she didn't say hi to me while she was working. It's messed up. I know this. Why you ask? Simple answer is I love to lose. Complicated answer would require another blog. But the point I am trying to make here, is that gambling is in us all. Some of us like to win. Some of us actually like to lose. What do you think? Do you want to win, or lose? Post your thoughts below, and don't be shy.
I will check back in soon with my NFL predictions for week 1 and an article on favorite sex memories.
