Full - Timers What do u say u do for a living?

Post by pierkid »

When asked by people you dont really know?

Sometimes I tell the truth depending on the person or I will just tell them my previous job title.

Guess some understand and some dont!!!!!!!!!

Favourite response has to be when you say you've made £150 'yeah but how much did you put in?' Always makes me giggle that one!

I get the 'how much did you put in' blurb all the time. If i say i've made £100, what does it matter? I will have won big somewhere, maybe a few small wins, a big win and a few losses? At the end of it all you're still a ton better off, and thats all that matters.

I just made a profit of £68.


Yes, but how much did you put in?





Sheez. Definitions.


What do they want you to say?



"Oh - oops, now you come to mention it I put £69 in, thereby losing a quid. A pretty obvious scenario considering that fruit machine playing is a vacuous moronic loss making activity and I am a moron. Isn't that amazing? They should put an article on how tricky it is to know what you're really up in The Daily Mail. How can I possibly ever thank you enough? You are a superior human being compared to myself. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"

I get it with poker.

I made £40 tonight.

You won £40, but how much did you bet to get £40.

So you explain i bet about £200 to win £240, then get greeted with "You risked £200 on a game of poker??!!"

At that point i just lose the will to live and decide against telling them that you never risk more than £10 at any point.

Guess some people will never understand. People's ignorance towards gambling really irks me sometimes.

How can you be a suicide bomber for a living?

Surely you blow yourself up once, then you die??!!
