    Could be working for weeks on capping the games without a play. Not many people capable of that. Especially a guy like Brock who has pressure to release play after play.

    Don't worry Vodka, my personal pick for today was Rockets @ Hawks u207, but instead I went with another players pick (Heat @ Nets u194.5)....They went into double OT and total hit 199... 500. Shittiest bad beat I've had in a while.

    Money is only a tool for a gambler... if losing 500.00 means you cant pay your bills and one shakes while betting it then gambling aint for him

    This is sick but betting 500 should be like betting 5.00

    Calling 30K for a real pro poker players should NOT be emotional...

    Aint easy to detach emotions from betting 5.00 or 5000.00 because there is a thin line between that and degeneracy

    If you have $500 bank roll you should be playing no more than $20 per game

    What a penetrating horrible feeling.
    In all seriousness, if gambling is this important for you emotionally, then you shouldn't be doing it. Go to the track with what you can lose without affecting you, same for gambling, same for Christmas, same for a date, same for owning a car. If anything in your life affects your big picture emotional well being to this level then it HAS TO be changed. There's no good end to this. Definitely drop the amount your betting. Lose 5 bets for $50 bucks on one shit day and have a bankroll for MORE ACTION instead of throwing the whole $500 away on 5 bets and being pissed as all hell. I get the rush, but your bookie, these teams, and/or any of the players in any sports has NO EMOTIONAL input in this. Why should you be on the losing end and piss away an entire day of your life?

    Miami Heat -.5 for the first 6 minutes of the game

    Bulls -1 for the 1st quarter

    Islanders/Avalanche over 1.5 goals for the 1st period
    These are some ridiculous bets but I'm not criticizing you because sometimes I make crazy bets to. It sucks when you lose them all but I think this has probably happened to all of us.

    I'm extremely streaky. I swear I'll go like 0-7 one day and then 7-0 the next and hit a huge parlay. I'll think feel unstoppable and lose my ass. It happens.

    The money isn't even why I do it. Its the rush.

    Yeah, it's strange. When you win a few in a row you think you're invincible and when you lose a few in a row you think you're cursed.
