I love all those plays except oakland...buy your wife a trip to hawaii with your winnings and maybe she won't make you quit. That's what I did when I started full time sports investing and my wife fully supports my efforts and will even help research weather and other small things. The key is to make her part of it in some way and keep her informed of how you are doing so she doesn't feel like it's your dirty secret. Plus, that will help keep you disciplined. Good luck!

If you win all 4 she may change her mind.
GL bro, but when it comes to be a argument in the household- it's time to either stop or keep it on the low,but make sure you turn a profit so the money isn't missing.
GL either and I hope you cash tonight

[gohabsgo]

I've been gambling since i was 18 and am now 35. played poker for a living for a few years.
Gambling has taken over my life, need to focus on others things. I am obsessed with sports betting and it's no good.
My wife knows me and she's right.

Just asked lou to donate to jjgold my pro status...Lets see if they accept

[TheLocal]

Seriously though- assume you hit all 4. Are you really gonna cash out and quit? After 17 years that's rough,but can be done if that's what you want. My out look on betting is it's only bad when your losing. I know I didn't coin that phrase ,but believe it 100%. Really what is better for a sports fan than to be able to profit from what they love the most? Do your work or follow someone that does and it's all good.

[gohabsgo]

If i can cash a few bets before the angels game i'll make a huge bet on the angels.
Almost went all in on them instead of betting the early games.

[TheLocal]

I like LAA tonight
3-2
GL

[Romanov]

Never quit. Do you really want tonight to be the last night you ever gamble?

[gohabsgo]

Of course it's not what i want, i think it's what i should do though...

[dlunc3]

see ya next week gohabsgo!

[Dharmonize]

Why quit? Just make gambling your hobby instead of an obsession. Bet 10 bucks per game instead of 100. This way, you can still be in touch with what you love the most without risking you will lose the person you "should" love the most Or do you think you can´t enjoy betting only small amounts?

Not married nor remotely close to settling down but that is some solid advice sir.

Makes sense but i am an addict so it can't be just a hobby and make 10$ bets.
I'll quit, hopefully soon

If it's not rude, can i ask how much you've lost so far? I am also thinking to quit gambling. sh.it. I've been go all-in everytime I redeposit and lost everything in 2 months. Went up couple 10 thousand and lost everything in few weeks. going up and down like roller coaster..

Lifetime winner gambling because of poker.

My girlfriend doesn't like it when I bet, but don't let your life revolve around it. Don't sit there watching ESPN scoreboard, be productive. Ive wasted hours looking at my phone or laptop to see if anyone is on base, etc. But Ive limited it a lot. I made a good amount this year for myself, all on my own plays. I stopped because before playoffs it gets crazy.. my girlfriend is much more comfortable with it though. More that she used to be.

Just manage it well and don't spend so much time on it. Like someone said, make it a hobby, not an obsession. And communicate with your wife, shell love that when she's a part of it.

[gohabsgo]

I love all those plays except oakland..

6-3 Oakland!

Listen to yourself! !! Wow u like Angels yet your looking for more action such as padres, a loser.

You my friend have a serious action problem. No wonder you're old lady is pissed.

You play for action is your problem. U dont get satisfied with a profit. U should change your amount of plays and rethink your priorities.

Just my observations from your post.
