    Betting £900 ($1400 USD) on Miami Heat MONEY LINE
    Literally got nothing to lose:



    I opened a new account with TheGreek.com

    1) Deposited £500 yesterday and had OVER the Knicks/Pacers last night, so made around £967 balance.
    2) Bet the £67 on MLB SF/LA on LA money line and lost it. £900 remains.
    3) Bet £900 on Miami Heat MONEY LINE.

    I want to withdraw the money but new accounts with TheGreek can only withdraw after 7 business days.

    So....
    I called them to ask if I can freeze the account for 1 week like most other sites do - they only allow you to close account but then you have 14 days period before you can open it, so I said no thanks.

    So I'm trying to avoid gambling this money and didn't wanna play the totals tonight, nor spreads .... so figured Miami ML is the best to take ...

    Chicago surprised everyone against the Nets, but I don't think the big surprise would come from CHI-MIA ... MIA would kill CHI but then the next round is going to be VERY interesting ... but I don't expect it tonight, definitely not tonight and don't expect Derrick Rose to come back tonight neither...


    But anyway how can I control myself and NOT BET with my balance?
    I have really hard times seeing my money laying down in the account ...
    Any tips or ideas how to get control of it and get a grip ???

    Easy play, after Heat win game 1 put it all on Miami series. Sure you won't crap for a return, but its something and you'll easily get past the time restraints

            I am not trying to close my account.
            I like to hit once and then freeze my account for 1 week / 1 month.

            This is how I stay in control.
            Most sites have this "self exclusion" tool that allow you to block yourself for 24 hours / 1 week / 1 month etc ...

            For some reason TheGreek.com does not include this feature and that's a huge drawback if you ask me ...

              So bet £1,000 on it and make £8,000 in return (plus the original stake of £1,000) ....

              You got easy odds of 9.00 in the market.

              Seriously ... what a clown ....

                  Nah ... tons of other places have it for 1 week or so ... it might not be called "self exclusion" ... perhaps it has a different name, such as "cooling off period" and such.

                      Should you really be calling anyone "a clown" when you make comments like "literally have nothing to lose" by betting 900 pounds on the Heat Money Line. You have 900 pounds at risk and yes its certainly possible Miami can lose game 1 to Chicago. Not likely, but certainly possible.

                        If he had a bet on that game then that would be different.
                        The fact he likes to say something backed by nothing (i.e. no bets) - yes, it doesn't make me appreciate his post, hence I used that word.

                              You should stop gambling if you can't resist placing a bet... you seriously have to have the website BLOCK you from placing a wager? Your self control is really that bad? Not trying to be a jackass but thats pathetic I'd be ashamed of myself especially if I constantly lost money...

                                    That's the problem when you win ... you look for the "next" bet ... when you lose you don't have money to bet with unless if you deposit again.

                                    I want to take my money out but I can't before waiting 7 business days after 1st deposit ... I should have noticed it earlier.

                                          This will prob be one of those games where the heat are down by 10 all game until the last 2 minutes.

                                          At least that's what would happen if I pounded heat ML.

                                              You won't have to worry about cashing anything out after the bulls pull the upset.

                                              You don't wanna lose the money so you decide to bet it all on a huge ml in a playoff series on a team who hasn't played in 8 days.

                                                4-5 days without playing between season and the 1st game in the playoffs Miami crushed the Bucks 110 - 87 .... (Apr 22)

                                                  the heat wont lose more than 3 games on their way to their 2nd nba title.
                                                  Makes sense Myname....

                                                  Once again this bet was just to keep myself from betting, and avoid the adrenaline and calm down from yesterday.
                                                  This is not a remedy for future bets I'm placing, so I really gotta becareful and work out some psychologies to control myself !!

                                                    You are betting to stop yourself from betting.

                                                            After reading this and your initial post, I have concluded you are in the top 5% of biggest idiots on this forum. "I literally have nothing to lose" literally makes no sense since you're putting up your entire account balance. "Once again this bet was just to keep myself from betting" literally makes no sense, again, because you just placed your entire account balance on a game that could go either way. The Heat aren't necessarily playing a scrub team tonight, especially if D-Rose does somehow make a comeback.

                                                              if you have a significant other or a friend you trust, get them to change your password and not give you new password until a week has passed?

                                                              Or jump onto their Blackjack tables (same bullshit software SBR uses) and try to double er up!
