    A few weeks ago I had $880 in my account, came home drunk after bars, wanted to get it up over $1k.

    Came to live dealer on roulette that had 3 blacks in a row... put $125 on red, lost, $250 on red, lost, $500 on red, lost. Account to $0. Highest my bankroll had ever been. I'm a Fuc.king idiot.

    don't beat yourself up.

    you will get it back.

    Drinking and Gambling are a bad combo man as i'm sure you realize. That's why they give out free drinks in casino's.

    Maybe a cool invention idea would be a breathalyzer installed into your computer so that you have to blow under a 0.8 in order to access your account.

    Oh damn, I feel bad for greg. I think I remember LKid losing his roll once in the casino, I don't think I can recount how many times I have lost money there.

    The live dealer BJ gals are hot though which is probably irrelevant.

    They do a good job of hiring these costa rican hotties that stuff the boobs in the corset and attempt to make small talk with the shut ins and develop relationships if you will.

    Clever business move, fun to play at times but like always the house edge cannot be beaten.

    Yeah it's definitely a moneymaker for them haha. I just try and martingale it and think "the odds of losing 3 or 4 49/51%s in a row is 12% or 6%" but somehow, it happened, fu.ck me.

    It was the most sober and empty feeling seeing that last third ball roll into black 13, and leave me with $0 from $880 about 2 minutes earlier.

    On that note, I straight up know that gambling is my vice. 100% my vice. To the point where if I have any money in my account after placing sports bets, I'll do blackjack or roulette with whatever is left until I'm up like $50 or $100 or down to $0. I've now started placing 80% of my bets the night before so that I can't spend the money on the Live Casino the next day, and so that I don't lose all my money before I can place my bets.

    It's awful, awful, awful behavior. Does anyone have a suggestion for me other than not to be a piece of shit?

    Greg I need to go down there and try to woo these hussies with some charm or fake money so I can somehow rig the wheel to get your money back

    You'll be on live dealer and see this retard waving behind the hottie and you will know it's me We will get them!

    I know that doesn't help much right now though. I hope you can get back in the game before football.

    Haha thanks for the laugh man, appreciate the thought

    I actually already am back in the game kind of... from a deposit of $50 on Sunday I'm up to $340 right now. MLB has been good to me. But I'm worried about the same meltdown happening / having a few bad MLB days in a row. If I was at that $880 and hadn't had that roulette meltdown, my last few days would have put me up over $2k probably. I'm an idiot.

    Dude the only way it works is to disable it somehow, like you cannot know the password. Have a friend/girlfriend/wife/husband whatever set the password.

    Some of the sites don't allow you to do it though so that makes it difficult.

    Just find one shop that you know you can lock it down permanently and play there or maybe if you get the action itch use SBR casino and if it hits 0 you know you need to chill and not mess up your real money bankroll.

    That's not a bad idea maybe I'll just enable my vice on the SBR casino. I like the live dealer though on 5Dimes, I don't like the stuff being automated, I feel cheated/no rush.

    And unfortunately I don't think I can make a separate account password for the sportsbook and live dealer. I'm fine with emptying my account on the sportsbook, no chance I would lose it all on one night or even like more than half of it in one night on a bad night of betting... but with roulette I can lose it in 5 minutes.

    Yea that is the struggle from hell is the seperate login from the sportsbook. The live is better in the sense of the timing of hands, but you can play sbr poker sometimes or hit some freerolls up to give you that same kind of action feeling, well for me personally.

    I would much prefer looking at one of those dealers though compared to say big bearial's avatar on a poker site but hey it's free!

    5 dimes grand casino is a rip off. Total shit fest to player. I dont know about. Their live casino. If they rig the blackjack tables in the house favor. Dont see why they wouldnt rig their live tables also. Their poker is good as they give 33% rakeback. I dont even play their online casino anymore. Its shit. Poker only is good. Sportsbook is good.

    The grand casino is garbage dude, absolutely. Live casino is pretty legit... You can't really rig live things like that, you seem them shuffle and everything right in front of you. They're just raking in the house edge, but I trust and would rather play that a lot more than some automated computer giving you cards.

    worst thing that can happen for a sports bettor is to making you believe you can win at these online casinos.

    hit and run pal and if you have the itch to play, just play with your points at the sbr casino.

    they are just as rigged, no joke...
