Every weekend throughout the fall, McCarran airport expels thousands of people on to the Las Vegas Strip. Many of these visitors come to Las Vegas to bet on football, hoping to profit from the obsession that overtakes their weekends from September to February. Many will return to McCarran a few days later, a little poorer but a little wiser. However another group, reveling in winnings, boards that departing plane with a belief they know more than those large casinos that dot the Strip; convinced they could leave behind their day to day life back in the town where they live, move to Las Vegas and make a living gambling on the sports they love. So, what would happen if someone actually did that? Swimming with the Sharps is a first-person account of an amateur trying to make a living via football gambling. Swimming with the Sharps follows David McIntire as he spends the 2012 football season in Las Vegas, chronicling what he learns and whether he wins or loses gambling on games every week. The book has two components. In part, it looks at the various components that make up sports gambling - such as developing a handicapping system, identifying when to bet or determining the size of a bet - and how professionals approach it compared to how McIntire handles it. McIntire talks with professional bettors, gambling journalists and bookmakers to understand what they have learned in their years in town while providing full transparency into his unique approach that straddles the worlds of amateur and professional bettors. Interspersed with this look at gambling fundamentals are the experiences of a football fan gambling each week in America's playground: days in sportsbooks surrounded by every character imaginable; insight into the lives of bookmakers who run these vast money-making operations; the joys of winning money; the pain of lost money and lost games for his favorite teams. There is no 20/20 hindsight on bets. McIntire writes about the games he bets on each week, gives

"I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book." Groucho Marx In 1957, Vance Packard wrote. "Our American life, through a large scale effort to use psychiatry and the social sciences to influence and manipulate buying, has had impressive success below our level of awareness." Since 1957, there is great evidence that our culture has become a harbinger of emotional exploitation in more forms than we can recognize and irrational profit taking in more forms than we can image. In these times, investing in a charity is not easy within a gambling culture that has glamorized wind fall profits, and run away CEO salaries. It certainly worsens when these efforts become unfettered, and ignored by business efforts that not only fail to provide a product of value but offer no product at all. This madness can only succeed by turning huge profits through the creation of cannibalistic markets and non-profit corporations that feed on gambling addictions which buy moments of hope as they excite and exploit risk instincts. This baiting continues to validate at warp speed the assumption that we are a nation of impulse buyers. We reverse like a school of starving gold fish fearful of the vibrations of mere foot steps and unable to notice bread crumbs on top of the water. No doubt someone has convinced us that with every failure there will always be another roll of the 'dice.' The more relevant question of interest is who will roll those dice on your internet gambling site? No doubt we have become more reactive but worse we have become less knowledgeable. This writing is offered to encourage your thoughtfulness about your money and who andwhat you empower as you give it away.

In this book you will find three true accounts of individual's that are, or have suffered from gambling addiction in their family and or life along with important information about this addiction. Jake Ploeth has taken their stories and put it into words for others to read. Problem gambling is a unique type of addiction. Those who are addicted to alcohol or drugs have become dependent upon the substance itself. Sure, there are emotional and behavioral issues as well, but their bodies have become physically dependent upon whatever substance they have become addicted to. Gambling, on the other hand, is more of a behavioral addiction. It is not uncommon for those suffering with a gambling addiction to go through a change spiral when recovering. Every person's journey is different. For some, they are able to overcome their problem gambling on their first try. It takes others a few tries. However many attempts it takes, each time you get back up and try again, you gain new tools and understandings.
Win the lottery, Create More Wealth, and Be a Happier Person. You need a little extra money so you play the lottery. You see other people winning. Unfortunately, you're not, so you try harder. You try harder by playing more numbers, which results in spending more money, and still you don't win. Losing money makes you feel anxious, angry and frustrated. What started as a pleasant pastime to make a little money is now no fun at all. This system will help you: By using yoga meditation to predict winning numbers, we use a proven technique that for millennia has been used to develop prophetic vision or the ability to predict future events. By using modern numerical tools to rank play and monitor your improvement in this ancient Craft. By encouraging you to share your meditative and lottery prediction experiences, so others may learn from your trials and tribulations as you aspire to improve your predictive abilities. By giving you an understanding of the tradition of the Craft, you will learn firsthand the immeasurable power this method had in the historical past and how and why these yoga meditation techniques were hidden from us in the west for over 1600 years. By working in groups to win a Mega lottery you take advantage of a scientifically proven effect of group meditation known as The Super Radiance Effect. Why should you buy this book? Practicing the Ninth Siddhi will help keep your lottery play in perspective. You will spend less, win more and feel good about playing. You will discover and experience the power and consciousness beyond the ego. This is the main point of the book, the principle behind the Craft. Importantly, by using this meditation technique, you will experience less stress in your life allowing you to make better life choices. You will develop over time a mindset, which produces wealth, prosperity and abundance. Best of all, you will experience greater inner-directedness, which will widen and deepen your capacity to love. Why doesn't the average player win more lotteries? The average player believes that the lottery can be predicted on the surface level of the mind. It cannot. No one has. No one will. Generally speaking, fear and anxiety are the root cause of suffering and lottery losses for the average player. Losses lead to trying harder, which leads to spending more, which leads to larger losses. The cycle is repeated increasing fear, anxiety, and frustration. Break this losing cycle. Experience a winning mindset. Take a step forward to wealth, prosperity, and abundance. Meditate, Chart, Spend Less, Win More, and be a happier person. Personal Note: I personally used this meditation system to win both a pick 3 lottery and a pick four game. I document my wins in the book. This system worked for me. It will work for you. |
