JJ Gold - Tell us about your worst days in gambling

[Tanko]

JJ, What was your low point in gambling? Tell us about the time you were completely down and out and what turned it around for you.

I'm not trying to drag up bad memories. I just think there is some lessons to be learned by others that read this story. Few, if any, have the experience you have.

Thanks in advance.

@jjgold do you remember our trip in Montreal when you broke down to me crying about the gambling debt you were in? That was a trying moment in your life. I will never forget that day. I felt so helpless listening to you.

JJ has been around the block more than once. These stories are definitely true

JJ what was the gayest experience you ever had in order to pay off a bookmaker? Did you get it up the ass?

I know JJ had an unusual experience on the 3rd flood at the Power Exchange, not sure the exact details you will have to ask him.

His tears to me were as real as they get. I actually gave him a hug, I felt bad.

It's sad but JJs online stories and persona probably does represent a huge portion of us problem gamblers

Sad but true. And most of us are not willing to share this information. Most of us want to hide from it and not believe that it's true. I don't believe I have a problem personally

I am 100% sure I have a problem drinking, gambling , and other dissociative behavior. Everyone should look into how they disassociate....

That's ok though. JJ's persona and stories do represent a portion of us problem gamblers but I so proud to say not me. I never liked losing money.

Not at sportsbetting but what about your casino action ? How often you go & what is your budget …

Yes, and I was pounding the floor telling you I’ll never gamble again as long as you bailed me out over $15,000.

I paid it all back and gambled again

I told you guys a story I was in prison not for a long, three months accused of stealing lawnmowers. I got set up but anyway when I was in the pen stringbean was his name 6 foot 11, 130 pounds and the guy was nude chasing me down all low-security prison with 8 inch rod , I was terrified , and he almost got me until security caught it on the knick of time.

I actually looked it up the other day. I have known you for 19 years. I have loaned you a total of $45,750 and you have paid back every penny.

 

[jjgold]
