The life of a degenerate gambler is all about going with your gut instinct. While others may rely on logic and reason, you trust your intuition to guide you through the unpredictable world of gambling. Sometimes it may lead to big wins, while other times it can result in crushing losses. But that's the thrill you seek.

3. Manage Your Bankroll (Sometimes)

While responsible bankroll management is a crucial aspect of gambling, as a degenerate gambler, you live by your own rules. It's important to recognize that reckless betting without any consideration for your finances can quickly destroy your livelihood. However, for you, it's a delicate balance between enjoying the risk and preserving your ability to keep playing.

4. Chase Big Wins

One of the key desires of a degenerate gambler is the pursuit of those monumental wins, the ones that can change your life in an instant. No matter how many losses you experience, the potential for a significant win keeps you going. It's that glimmer of hope amid the chaos that makes living on the edge so exhilarating.

5. Revel in the Losses

Losses are an undeniable part of the gambling lifestyle, and as a degenerate gambler, you've learned to embrace them. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, you revel in the losses, viewing them as lessons rather than setbacks. Each loss fuels your determination to get back up and try again, hoping that the next bet will be the one to turn it all around.

6. Celebrate the Wins

When a win comes your way, no matter how small, it deserves to be celebrated. Living on the edge means acknowledging and cherishing every victory, no matter how fleeting. It's those moments of triumph that make the losses worth it, reminding you why you continue down this reckless path.

7. Seek Support

Living as a degenerate gambler can often be a lonely journey. The risks and highs can take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being. Seeking support from friends, family, or even joining support groups can provide a much-needed outlet to share your experiences, struggles, and triumphs with others who understand the unique challenges you face.

8. Know Your Limits

While living on the edge as a degenerate gambler is all about pushing boundaries, it's important to know your limits. Understanding when to walk away, whether you're on a winning streak or facing a devastating loss, is vital to protecting your mental, emotional, and financial well-being.

9. Reflect and Learn

Regularly take time to reflect and learn from your experiences as a degenerate gambler. Analyze your choices, wins, and losses to gain insight into your own behaviors and patterns. This self-reflection can help you grow into a more conscious and self-aware gambler.

10. Find Balance

Living on the edge can be both thrilling and exhausting. It's essential to find balance in your life, not letting gambling consume every aspect of your existence. Engage in other hobbies, maintain healthy relationships, and prioritize self-care. This balance can help you maintain a clear perspective and prevent gambling from becoming an all-encompassing addiction.

Living on the edge as a degenerate gambler is a lifestyle choice that requires courage, resilience, and a willingness to embrace uncertainty. It's about finding solace in the chaos and taking risks without regret. While the path may be treacherous, if you have an insatiable appetite for adrenaline and the thrill of the unknown, this guide will help you navigate the highs and lows of living life on the edge.

"Lange’s entertaining book makes it clear that, no matter how wild and risky his lifestyle may be, he takes comedy more seriously than anything else." —Publishers Weekly

When Artie Lange's first book, the #1 New York Times bestseller, Too Fat To Fish, hit the top of the charts, audiences learned what Howard Stern listeners already knew: that Artie is one of the funniest people alive. He is also an artist haunted by his fair share of demons, which overtook him in the years that followed. After a suicide attempt, a two-year struggle with depression, and years of chronic opiate addiction, Artie entered recovery and built himself back up, chronicling his struggle in brave detail in his next book and second New York Times bestseller, Crash and Burn.

In his hilarious third book, the two-time bestselling author, comedian, actor, and radio icon explains the philosophy that has kept his existence boredom-free since the age of 13—the love of risk. An avid sports better and frequent card player, Lange believes that the true gambler gets high not from winning, but from the chaotic unknown of betting itself. He recounts some of his favorite moments, many of which haven't involved money at all. In this candid and entertaining memoir, he looks back at the times he's wagered the intangible and priceless things in life: his health, his career, and his relationships. The stories found in Wanna Bet? paint a portrait of a man who would just as quickly bet tens of thousands of dollars on a coin toss as he would a well thought out NBA or NFL wager. Along for the ride are colorful characters from Artie's life who live by the same creed, from a cast of childhood friends to peers like comedian and known gambler Norm McDonald. The book is a tour of a subculture where bookies and mobsters, athletes and celebrities ride the gambling roller coaster for the love of the rush. Through it all, somehow Artie has come out ahead, though he does take a few moments to imagine his life if things hadn't quite gone his way. Unrepentant and unrestrained, the book is Lange at his finest.
