I'm confused. There is no such thing as "retiring" if you are a gambler.
They only reason they would retire is if they were tired of going broke.
If you’re a known poster & you’re a gambler it‘s pretty hard to be one without the other if you are actively gambling. That’s why I think KVB is just taking a break from gambling.

We haven’t seen him around lately maybe had a rough patch. It happens to all of us. At some point he’s going to surface probably around football season and I look forward to that.

Exactly

Very few people are actually professional bettors. Pretty much no one here is

Gambling is just an entertaining activity that costs something, like a lot of things

Never heard that reference never heard that name. I’ll have to Google it for context.
Jerky if you’ve never watched “House of Games” rent it ASAP. Might still be free on Prime.

One of the best gambling-themed movies ever. One a lot of folks overlook I think.

David Mamet (The Untouchables, GlenGaryGlenRoss) at his finest.

The Spanish Prisoner another one of Mamet’s that doesn’t get as much run as it should. Not as great as House of Games but still very good. Has a lot of the same actors. The sexy brunette in Spanish Prisoner is Mamet’s second wife in real life.

The chick that plays the lead in House of Games is his first wife and mother of his hot daughter Zosia, who was the naive chick in the HBO series Girls.
