    That hard earned $50 can be much more wisely spent or invested such as in a high savings account or a good company stock. Gambling is a fool's pastime.

    This whole website is corrupt and run by greedy bookies. The FBI would be doing great service by shutting it down.

    Would you take +110 about a coin toss?

    Most sharp gamblers bet within their means and have a risk of ruin near zero. You can even be a degen and have a risk of ruin of zero. Once you start betting above your means, you're in trouble.

    Swaggy P quit and found happiness. There is nothing wrong with that. There is no need to knock the man for that. That's like giving somebody a hard time who feels better about himself after they quit smoking.

    Definitely calling bullshit on that one.

    Stock market is just an example I came up with. Personally I'd rather leave my money in a savings account or buy precious metals when they are at low prices.

    No you obnoxious shithead.

    I've fully made up my mind now that I won't be gambling a single penny ever again. I did consider "betting" on sports fixed matches though as that's the only way to beat the system long term and do the biggest damage to the books but I've decided not to as one would have to pay closer attention to european soccer which I have no time or interest for.

    Even if one stays within their means there is not way in hell to make a substantial profit long term. Either you will lose or just barely break even in the end. People say that watching sports is a lot more entertaining when you bet on them but that hasn't been the case with me at all. I actually find myself enjoying sports even more now ever since I stopped. It's much more relaxing and stress free and that's the way I prefer it to be.

    I don't blame them. It's just a defense mechanism. You can see the exact same type of behavior with other drug addicts when they are confronted with their addictions. Gambling addicts are no different.

    Banks invest/gamble no? How much are you trying to put in a savings account, youll make about 2 cents on 100 bucks a month.

    congratulations i cant quit gambling i love the rush it gives me. I'm addicted to having money on the line. It feels good to win and feels bad to lose, but when you win it feels like you just injected uncut heroin into a fresh vein. The pleasure its almost erotic sometimes, I get hard when I hit big.

    good luck

    You don't like it because by trying to convince people to not gamble anymore, I am taking away from your bread and butter. You know it and I know it. As well as your pal opie. Both of you are employed by the books and it is your and his job to keep people addicted. No different from other slime who sell drugs and other addictive intoxicants.

    I definitely end to agree with you and I already wrote about this:

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/foru...-its-myth.html

    I see more members here choose to attack you and not agree with you.
    I'm in position where I'm trying my best to give up gambling for good, I've been doing great recently but it's not enough ... I want to be more than a year ahead without gambling.

    You're doing the right thing, never ever look back!

    What's wrong with talking about the other side of this "entertainment"?
    There are thousands of posts here about this team to win and this total to go over/under, and very few posts about another perspective and you guys literally crucify people who think or advocate for a different way of thinking!

    The one being is YOU for not being able to hear what the other has to say.

    Big difference in investing and gambling. Banks offer many different types of investments ranging from guaranteed low interest investments to high risk high interest investment. I prefer the former. With a savings account yeah I probably will only make 2 cents for every 100 dollars but in the end I'll definitely make it on top than %99.99 of gamblers guaranteed.

    Thing is had you won/been winning, you wouldnt have quit. So there are two sides to the story, you said you had been gambling long before you joined, you didnt gamble once and decide its not for you and quit, surely you won some and lost more, but didnt decide to quit until you lost too much, so again had you been winning instead of losing this thread wouldnt exist, yet youd more than likely be telling the someone else who made a thread like this the same as most are telling you.

    But I dont consider what I do as gambling, I consider it investing. Gambling to me is like going into a test having not studied, unprepared. Once prepared though, being invested in what Im about to endure, it really isnt thought of as gambling then.

    Yeah back then in my winning days I probably would but instead of listening to the wise ones I had to find out the hard way. People can win for days, months, and even years but sooner or later.... that luck is going to run out. And that my friend is reality.

    The question is how do you really know that?
    I bet you can't follow up with 25 years of activity, can you?
    You saved spreadsheets for every year in the past 25 years?

    I doubt that...
    Be honest and say how much you really lost out of it.

    You are truly an idiot. I am up $55,000 the last 30 months, when I started to wager online. At least half of that is documented on this site.

    I did lose money when I was young in the Blackjack tables, but who didn't.

    Go and finish yourself off... We are sick and tired of you.
