Been in the game since I was like 17.
know so many people who live like this one way or the other. childhood best friend got into a debt with his connect, like a few pounds of weed, when packs of the fire were like 4k. So, we are in high school, and we have a girl friend whose heavy in cocaine, maybe 3 years older, they stay up for three days, she GIVES him half her profits - after staying up, they hit the casino, lose everything. All the money. Coke was all sold. He told me later he spent his last $20 on a lottery ticket and a half pint. and then got a DUI, same morning. dude was 17 years old. Never gambled once after that. The fact he HAD the money and lost it, I just couldn't get over.
this could be one of the best episodes of television ever. Maybe one or two too many heavy handed metaphors, but the pacing, the music, the themes, the immersion into that world. Somewhere I read it was supposed to be like After Hours and Uncut Gems. Worthy comparisons.
The thing with gambling addicts is they will ALWAYS play the money flip the money. Their only loyalty is to the rush. I know guys like this still. They'll take work from three different connects, and flip the money, pay one, to get another load fronted. Lose 100k at the casino. In Mexico, they'll kill you for that, you get caught more than once.
