We would typically play 10 point. Occassionaly would play one of the smaller point versions if it was odd number and you couldn't play in teams.

Fighting same issues as I have five 9 and under. Love to cap all sports but feel overloaded at times. Never discuss it either but soon enough I will have to?
I was about 5 years old, my dad and his friend bet football and college basketball through their bookie, I helped them pick games every week and every night during basketball season. I played bingo since I was about 10 years old to about 21 at least once a week with my dad and his friend, sometimes twice, gambling is fun in moderation and that is what I have always done. when it becomes not fun I will quit for good, it will not happen anytime soon.
7/27, In between and booray (sp) :00hour dealers choice in high school, oh the good ole days
I am looking to avoid doing to my kids, what you are saying your father did to you
..............................................................
that dont sound like moderation to me.
your dad indoctrinated you to gambling.
just like you are doing with your dumb as right wing politics.
its all good though
I dont bet more than what I can afford to lose:shrug: I never even say a word about gambling at home, I do all my handicapping at work:142smilie or after kids go to sleep:shrug:
Same here Cie. I have 2 boys, 6 & 4. Once in a while they are in the room playing when I "make my call". They sometimes ask me, "Dad, who are you talking to? Is that your friend?". That is why I am also not a fan of the R-rated avatars. There is one sports forum I don't ever go to anymore because those avatars are flat out x-rated. My kid told my wife one day that, "Daddy looks at ladies in their underwear on the computer." Of course wife thought it was porn and I had to explain to her that it was this place and a couple other forums. (Obviously would never, ever open the Mojo room or anything like it with my kids in the room).
I have quit many times myself. But damn it if I don't get sucked back in. I never thought it was addicting and always thought I could quit whenever I wanted, but I now know it is much, much harder than I ever expected to give it up. I'm a very small time player. $10-$20 a game. Its more of a hobby than anything because I sure don't make any money at it. Heck, you would be surprised how much a guy can lose in a year betting that small. I don't want my kids to ever get into it.
