Forgive me, brit, but I indeed did do it again. Lost the wash - 1 1/2 3 unit bet (FRIGIN PISSED!!!!!!!!!!!) when i thought I had it in the bag! NINE GRAND now on San Diego ML. Do it for me, padres. DO IT!

No offense bro, but you're going to learn your lesson the hard way if you keep doing this.
I actually like the Cubs quite a bit tonight.Comment -

Don't hate me for posting what most of us do. We are here every day gambling. JJ was right. We're all a bunch of degenerate ****ing gamblers who set out each day to get our fix. Now come on, SD!Comment -
Sen, let's agree to disagree then. I can admit the truth here, on a gambler's forum. Much easier here than out in society where it is taboo. GL tonight, kid.
1-0 padres. Hold on for me, boys! Hold on and add more.Comment -
I would actually bet that the vast majority of the posters on here don't chase, and if they do, certainly not to the extent that after a loss they risk their entire bankroll on a late game.
Even though I'm on the Cubbies, I wish you luck with the Pads. You need this win a lot more than I do.Comment -
I'm not saying I'm not degenerate, but I don't chase. The people on this board who do this to make money know chasing is a bad idea, and never do it (although of course the irrational temptation is always there). Chasing is fine if you're just having fun with money you don't care about losing, but you should be aware of the mathematical implications of doing it, just so you don't wind up doing things you wouldn't have done if you had been aware of what you were doing.
Again, I'm not saying you shouldn't chase, I'm just reminding everyone that you shouldn't chase if profitability is your primary concern. The temptation is always there, there's no harm in repeating the truisms of gambling.Comment -
Good title for the thread. Bimbo betting.Comment -
yikes, wish you better luck in the future, and hope you make more rational decisions...not criticizing, just trying to help.Comment -
Im scared to look who won for you, I just went through this shit a couple weeks ago. I am going to check and I hope you won.Comment -
Geez, Im sorry man. That sucks, I am glad I learned my lesson at a couple thousand, not eighteen. I was going to bet on the Pads to for a grand that I have just saved up again since i blew my load last time, I instead decided to never bet on sports again. Please do not do anything else irrational to get your money back and if you do bet against the Twins tomorrow.Comment -
Buztah, shit happens don't let it get to you although it was costly. Your judgement will start to get cloudy put this day behind you tomorrow is a new day and try to make some positive cash tomorrow then forget about tomorrow and do the same the following. Chip away the loss a little at a time. I have been hammered before it is all how you let it affect you. Good luck down the line with later plays.Comment -
The one thing that irritates me about this forum is that problem gamblers are taken in as part of the family. These type of gamblers are on the total opposite end of the spectrum as pros and aspiring pros, who are highly disciplined and organized.
If this guy is coming from where I think he's coming from, the worst thing you can do is sweet talk him into believing all is cool. If he's a problem gambler, and betting 10K at a time, he needs to walk away.
By allowing problem gamblers to post here, SBR is undermining the potential of this forum to be sharp, while at the same time giving such people the wrong type of 'support group', and, by extending the hand of friendship, SBR also plays a role in attracting more of them. Which is exactly the type of influence that bettors in the middle - i.e. those who are neither problem gamblers nor pros-, don't need. Mix with pros if you want to be a pro. Mix with addicts and losers if you want to be an addict or loser.
Just my two cents.Comment -
I think you are a fool if you think it is that easy to not be sucked into gambling and lose control. People do not just wake up one day and decide they are going to be problem gamblers you fool. Eat shit. I promise you I know more about sports than you on my worst day. I love competition and I love sports. I am a student and do not have a massive bankroll to make stupid ass unit bets, so go suck a dick.Comment -
You are not a pro and you will never be a pro.....the players dont even know whats gonna happen when they step on the floor. If u were even an athlete tell me if you knew the outcome before you released a shot or the pitch was thrown. Tell me you knew what was gonna happen in a game before it started. Get real.Comment -
This should all be about the love of sports and the thrill of the game. There is a place for bettors like that too, not just assholes who think this is a way to actually make money, take a hike you nutsack.Comment -
I don't know what he plays a game but I am sure this isn't the first time he played 10k on a game.
I know some people who play 5k a game every day all day all straight bets from NFL NHL NBA to MLB.
I don't think the price makes a person a problem gambler but chasing games does. All I was saying was if he built a nice bank and put a dent in it on the padres he can build it again a little at a time.Comment -
Not to mention the influence on impressionable college kids who can't see the forest for the trees, and who think that putting 10K on a game is cool.
AC, it wasn't the 10K. It was the 'oops' and reference to JJ.
Comment -
Also, this can be a way to actually make money. Sorry it isn't working out for you, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work out for others.
But hey, if you're doing it for the fun, more power to you. Just don't lose more than you can afford.
I have no idea how much money the original poster has - maybe he's a multi-millionaire for whom $9K is walking around money, but more likely he just lost way more than he should have.Comment -
Notice how he hasnt posted again tonight, that means he is taking it pretty hard.Comment -
I agree with you snail, but I still dont think he should be taking a shot at a group of people like that. It can happen to anyone.Comment -
Wow, looks like I started a pissing contest. I always get a kick out of gamblers. Everyone claims to be a winner but I bet there isn't a single player here who is actually up, or in the black, overall. I bet the sound money managment principle of saving money instead of wagering it would have helped us all had we done that from the beginning of our gambling adventures. I love the sanctimonious attitudes. Side splitting, gut busting stuff. No wonder JJ made that video about ****ing degenerate gamblers. We all are. If you're here every day wagering and getting off to line movements then YOU are a ****ing degenerate ****ing gambler. Some of us bet bigger than others and some don't. GL to you all though -- unless you're on the othtr side of the play against me. LOL! Peace.Comment -
said out of frustration
but why the sanctimonious attitude? Some of you guys need to get over yourselves. We're all fuking degenerates tryna entertain ourselves. Let's keep it real. If you or I were any good at this we wouldn't be blowing smoke up each others arses on some website. We'd be on a yacht chilling, counting our cash instead.
Later. Time to get into game mode. See you folks at 10 ish.
Peace.

what happened to your old quote, "gambling for cash"...or something similar to that. you're not the only one who got a rough week. i lost over 30k last week. starting over nowbut why the sanctimonious attitude?

From the home page:
SBR, I don't think you would be baby-sitting the forum if you kicked self-proclaimed problem gamblers off who don't understand this clear warning. You can't possibly expect serious sports bettors and obvious losers to hang out at the same place. I know for a fact that a respected poster like Jay Edgar, who posted daily NBA lines, is taking a break because there is too much of a JJ vibe here. I have nothing against the man, but what does it tell you if someone like buztah takes JJ's philosophy as gospel?Please! Do not access the information contained on Sportsbook Review if you feel you might have a gambling problem. Make your next click to a group that will help you deal with your situation. Gambling addiction can seriously diminish the quality of your life.

Good word use.
Why not? The pleasure I derive from both receiving and giving arse smoke-blowing isn't connected to my ability to pick winners. I enjoy posting and reading posts, both the smart ones and the stupid ones, the jokey ones and the serious ones.
Nowadays it only takes a few minutes in a spreadsheet to count the cash. What else are we going to do with our time? I mean, I write songs here and there. I read about politics and global warming on the net, or maybe I'll go try to find a good conspiracy theory website. But I like posting and reading, it doesn't mean I can't pick winners. Tonight I'll try to pull a female, so I won't be involved in much smoke-blowing. But most nights I'm free.
I would say the smoke-blowing on display on this forum probably has more to do with a collective inability to pull females than to pick winners.Comment
