It's odd. We first begin and we think its the best thing in the world, then reality hits you in the face and for a lot of people it starts to control them.
They notice it and try to break free from it, but are ridiculed and mocked for saying it. I do think a lot of the people who are doing the mocking are jealous, as in they know they can't stop and are envious of someone who is attempting to stop. Comments like we'll see you next week, etc.
I myself used to be a heavy better and not a good one. I didn't make a proclamation to everyone to quit betting, but I went through the struggles of quitting. I make 4 wagers a year now. 1 football, 1 basketball, 1 college football, 1 college basketball future. I've eliminated the day to day chase you see on the forum and it actually feels great getting away from that, I consider that an unhealthy lifestyle.
Just never knew why people ragged and mocked someone trying to move on from gambling until I realized that the majority of people mocking him are envious of his ability to at least attempt to quit.
My situation it was tough. I got another job to keep me more occupied, weeks went by and I didn't even care about placing a wager. I'll do a contest, my 4 futures, and a fantasy football league, and leave it at that. Have no pleasure to return to the "daily grind" and haven't for nearly 3 years now.
Just thought I'd post this after I saw the brock thread.
