How to Quit Gambling?

[Ballin24]

That's it I cant take it anymore I lost 1k since NBA season started I cant deal with it anymore!


Please someone help me! If my parents found out they would kill me, im only 18 and I wasted 1k that I could have put towards tuition.

[Filthyy]

If you tell them then you'd probably quit

[Ballin24]

If you tell them then you'd probably quit

Bruh my dad would literally kick my ass and throw me out of the house. I pretty much wasted all the money I made from my part time job.

[sumtingwong]

NBA will bust you quick. You cant determine which night of the 82 games a player will give any effort. They coast until the playoffs. with the NFL and non guaranteed contracts and 16 games, they bust ass each and every snap

[jtoler]

Honestly you dont really want to quit do you, you just want to be better at it right?

[Filthyy]

Well I'd say use your 173 betpoints and win big in the SBR casino, then become pro and win more and more and get a lot of the prizes and then sell them and then take that money and throw it on a big parlay that is a lock and since the payout was so nice just go throw a dime at your dad for being a good dad

If I was good I wouldn't quit but the thing with me is I have no self control just a few days ago I was up 1k and I lost a couple bets and one thing led to another and all of a sudden I sit here being down about 1k.

I honestly cant take the high stakes anymore.


I'm just gonna bet like 5 or 10 bucks a game now and do a chase?

im thinking $5 then double up to $10 if I lose that then keep doubling up. Like 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320.

I would prolly stop at 160 tho and end my chase there.

You think this is a good idea? Lets say I make 5 bucks a day for 90 days. That's $450. And I got half my losses back with no where near as much stress.

Pretty bad idea bro. Just cut your loss at 1k and don't tell your parents. Not the end of the world..1k is nothing in terms of college tuition anyways

[PREMOSIX]

Bet against knicks everygame you will get that 1000 back quick

[jtoler]

Gambling is no different than anything else you'd fair much better if you learn as much as you can about it before doing it. Then when you start doing it keep learning but money management is first. Gotta be discplined easier said than done.

[jtoler]

Also its time consuming.

[Git Lo]

Quit sucking

If you keep at it yes I'd say bet 2% of bankroll maybe the more confident you feel on a play 3%-5% if you don't have a bankroll then you'd just have to bet small.

Could be worse. You could follow one of those guys they call jj gold and be down a lot worse and pull all your hair out. Chin up young lad, you have the rest of your life to be miserable.

I was in the same shoes as you. I'm only 20 now but when I was 18 I had brutal loses.. In a year I lost around 10k gambling.. My top 3 loses of all time are

Lac ml vs okc game 4 for $5500.. Everyone remembers that game.

Sa Spurs 3 weeks ago vs Memphis triple OT had Spurs ml for $4200..

And today I need GS ml for $2500..

All in all you'll have big hits but at the end of the day school comes first and that's how it is for me. I finish my school stuff then look into games and above all money management . Good luck .

Bet nfl money line, patriots lost one game at home sea lost one gane at home, i think green bay did not lose at home, denver does not lose at home, that was my strategy, ive won 10,000 dollars this year, i would have won alot more if i stayed away from the clev cavs, What u need to do is save up 100,000 dollars , go to vegas in the nba playoffs and bet the spurs first round to win the series, you can make safe money if your smart, but most degenartes have to gamble every night and thats how u go broke, dont give up here is a lock

patriots plus 3 points
seattle minus 1
denver plus 3

3 game 10 point teaser, try to get money and bet this teaser to get your money back, i remember what my old bookie used to tell me as long as the gun has bullets in it im not dead, another words even if u lose, if u have money to bet the next week you can make it back and then some

jj gold and whatever fake alies he is using is an air bettor, i know if i lost alot of money i would not come here and brag about it, people post here when they win, i could be wrong tho but i doubt it

Bro that's the worst advice of all time are you fkn retarded?

Go put 100k on a -1000 line.. You're stupid and you have the nerve to call others degens? Lmfao please ..

[MrXYZ]

Walk away now, you're only 18, keep working and earn back that 1k. Its only a glimpse of the pain in store if you keep gambling. Get out and do some exercise.

Whatever you do, don't go for the $5 & $10 bet nonsense, because you'll have a few wins and just start betting big again. Good luck.

[sneakerhead]

Quit while u are down 1k, next thing u know u are down 2k. It wont get any better.
Stop following sports, find something better to do with your time.

[Ballin24]

Thanks for the advice guys, I thought about it and sneakerhead and MrXYZ are right.

I keep thinking I can make $ but I can't im just giving the bookies free money.

I'm quitting gambling. I'm just gonna bet with my betpoints randomly lol haha. Gonna focus on school now way more than I do currently.

Bet points.. I was hoping you would quit but you'll be back.. Everyone with your mindset will always be back.

Should I not bet betpoints? You think it could lead to re-lapsing?

[ilovelady]

18 and crying about a thousand bucks? penetrate off kid

[ilovelady]

knish was giving you a living. Showing you the playbook he put together of his own beats, but that wasnt enough for you

[sneakerhead]

Yes, betpoints are a gateway to betting real money lol.

What you need is discipline, and that you wont find overnight. Give it a few years rest and maybe come back when you have a better mindset and you are better off financially.
Gambling and school dont go together, I struggled to balance the two and gambling always got the priority. I thought I was making money, but you do eventually lose and win and the cycle continues. You only get one shot to get your education right, fukin up in a class or two can go a long way, trust me...
Just stop watching sports for some time and stay away from SBR, you will forget about gambling soon enough. When the time is right, come back.

[erocking]

i was never that lucky as a person, but if you want to be lucrative gambling, dont. Most people think they can win gambling, but they dont. Take the hit for a thousand dollars and treat yourself to an ice cream or go out with your girl friend and take your mind of this nonsense. I gamble for fun.

[TDKJET1717]

are you in high school? do good and bang lots of chicks.

because that leads to going to college, and banging lots of chicks.

[JOHON8]

First thing you need to do is search "gambling fallacy" on google. Learn and research what it is. If you're too lazy to search this or too ignorant to learn what gambling fallacies are or what gambling addiction can lead to, then you'll only find out the hard way (becoming homeless).

I know times are tough,our capitalist economy is in crisis, everyone is desperate to make money and to get high on life in some way. That's exactly the market the bookmakers and other thieves are targeting, so don't become another victim. Find another hobby, but more importantly READ BOOKS, RESEARCH and figure out a more realistic way to make money and survive in this disgusting system of ours.

Sadly I can't self-exclude myself until April since I have a futures bet on the Raptors to win the Atlantic Division from October lol.

Good advice bro I always wanted to start reading more too.

Wish I could give u betpoints but it wont let me for some reason I guess there's a cap on how much u can give in a day or something.


Edit: I know all about the gambler's fallacy lol yet I still have fallen victim to it smh. You're right i definitely need a new hobby thinking about just volunteering or something at least my time and money will go towards something good.

Don't quit gambling. Quitters never win. Do you know how many successful people went broke or lost it all, numerous times, before finally getting it together and making it work? You are 18. Who knows, you might end up being one of the most gifted gamblers the world has ever seen. But nobody started out their career perfect. You gotta cut your teeth, take your losses, and learn from them. Dont make the same mistake twice.

Here's what I would do:

Go back thru all your losing bets and re-evaluate what you did wrong or how you could have thought differently in the situation. Dont make the same losing bet twice. For instance, I have a few set rules I have develop thru learning from losses:

#1. Never bet on a black head coach
#2. Never bet Over/Under in-game. Its a trap
#3. Do not martingale
#4. If favored team is on the road in college basketball that you like, take the 1st half ML as opposed to the game ML
#5. Only bet 1 NBA game per night - its an unpredictable league
#6. Only 1 NFL game per week - it too is an unpredictable league
#7. No more than 4 teams in 1 parlay
#8. No more than one 1st half in a parlay (1st halves are also too random and in college basketball)
#9. If you buy points on an underdog, make sure you buy 5 more points than their worst loss of the season to a comparable opponent. If you play parlays you need cushion on every game.
#10. If you take an underdog ML, and can ingame get +EV on the favorite - do it. Lock in your winnings. Its always better to have a for sure win of any amount, than risk losing.

Set baseline's and goals. If you start out with $50, take that $50 and make it into $100. Now $100 becomes your baseline. Meaning that in the future, you'll always keep $100 in your account. If you keep moving your bank up, and then run into some losses - NEVER bet more than your established baseline to make it back. Thats more money management than anything else. If it takes you 3 weeks to accumulate winning, it should take 3 weeks to lose it back. Seen too many guys go on a great run of 2-3 weeks, then take a loss or two and they get upset because they are so used to winning everyday. Then they bet more and more to make it back and end up losing everything they built up over 3-4 weeks in the span of a couple days. Dont be like that.

[upscope]

Quitters never win. When u fall off the bicycle u get back on don't you?? Borrow from a loan shark @ high interest & bet big money line favs until you get even. Then stiff the shark & that way you have your original 1k back plus the loan sharks $$.
Head on over to that 30-60 @ the Chesterfield before the loan shark gets wind that you're stiffing him. Now you'll have you're original 1k plus the loan Sharks $$ plus some walking around $$ that you took off of Roman & Maurice. Have Petra spot you couple stacks of High Society & cash out for the whole thing & Then hop on a bus head to Vegas & get you a couple hookers & do some lines of coke off their ....Now you're really in the game!!
Get you a pad @ Budget Suites on Boulder Hwy Before hitting the strip.....It's time for some Keno!! It's almost impossible to lose @ Keno in Vegas!! Play Big or Go Home!! The Big Wheel is also easy $$.

You're a baller kid....Don't ever give UP. School is not going anywhere. School will always be there. School is for suckers!!
