    Greatest Moment In My Life

    I am 25 years old and work as an investment banker earning over 250k a year and have a hot as f**k gf in med school. My weekly betting turnover is give or take $15,000. Tonight I had $5k on GB moneyline and $900 on GB -4. I accept losses and move on but after tonight, I've realized there is nothing more valuable then cash in hand.

    I've been sports betting since I was 18 and have never ever finished a year ahead. I go on streaks weeks/months thousands and thousands ahead but I never end up with a positive balance.

    Putting your hard earned money in the hands of complete randoms, whether they be replacement officials or baseball umpires is a dead-end street.

    The books always win. Simple fact. Tonight is the greatest moment of my life. I've withdrawn every single dollar from my 3 bookies and will never ever bet on sports again.

    Instead I'll live a lavish lifestyle and laugh at anyone who claims to be a sports bettor. My only regret is that it took 7 years to learn, and I have the money to lose. What chance is there for 95% of the gamblers our there?

    I loved this forum and spent way too long on here for my own good, but tonight marks the end.

    Laugh at me, call me a sore loser, claim I am a joke, fine. But there is a reason why gambling is illegal in most states.

    Life is too short.

    The end.

    I will not be. The amount of times I've bet on an over/under or a line on the NBA and lost by 1 point is a joke. I like your Greg Inglis avatar though

    I'm still at work now and its 1am. Sure I could be working at a Dunkin Donuts 24/7 but why you would ever think I'm lying about this? What do I have to gain? Want to talk finance? In fact, the horse in my Avatar is my own. It came 2nd in the Dubai Duty Free.

    Great input there man. If I could give you my betpoints I would. Really valuable opinion, thanks. In fact these kind of opinions only make me feel better. You know what a yield is without having to google it? NO, ok.

    I had a series of those 1 point beats last season too & want to walk away from sports betting as well. I've been at this for 3 years and have had a couple of overseas holidays with my profits but it's been a lot of time wasted. Would've rather taken on a part-time job for that extra cash without the equity swings and stress. Even if you win you lose because your brain is always thinking of the angle for the next game. And then it's all day checking scores, getting distracted and not being able to enjoy anything.

    I'm just loving reading these kinds of comments, its only adding to my decision to quit betting. I don't get what the problem is with saying im a banker? Is it jealousy? Honestly, its just a job.

    LOL. There are ton of high rollers on the internet....

    Seriously, this dude is so full of shit. He probably lost like $50. LOL.

    So you have a hot G/F (I like how you threw that in there) make 250k, and you're posting online about it? Get a life.

    Im posting online because who else would I 'talk' to about my betting? This is a betting forum is it not? And again with the jealousy. Oh, and $250k isn't high roller, it'll take me a few years to get to a million. There is NO reason for me to lie. You should read my first post again because you no doubt fall under the 95% region. Thanks though

    I figured you hang out with celebrities the way you talk about yourself online.

    That is funny you say you have no one to talk to after you just made up a bunch of shit about yourself.

    Exactly. People that have those things don't need to gloat online in a fake world to complete strangers. It's pathetic. I come here to talk sports, not to try to make myself look cool to a bunch of d-bags I will never meet.

    LOL. Then this pussy private messages me and says "suck it".

    Shows the maturity and how full of shit he is. So a guy "with a hot ass g/f" comes online saying he makes 250k and then tells people to "suck it" behind the protection of his computer screen via a PM.

    Lots of pussies out there. He must be really insecure in "real" life. Pathetic really....
