    Just lost my 35,468 points

    I won 8,825 points bringing my balance to 44,293 from the original 35,468.
    I transferred it to the forum wallet. Transferred 293 back to casino. Lost the 293 and wanted to get it back.
    Lost the remaining 44,000 points. Playing ~80% multi-hand blackjack and ~20% single hand.

    I never bet out of control. As my balance decreased my bet size decreased. 400-700. Then down to 300 around 20,000 remaining. Then down to 200. Down to 100 around 10,000 remaining. All the way until I was betting $10, then $5, then $1. Only used basic strategy.

    For every hand or two I would win, I would lose 6 to 10. Sometimes losing as many as 17 hands in a row. I kept checking the history. I don't know why I didn't stop after losing around half the points.

    Thaddeus knows how important these points were to me. I couldn't afford to lose them. Say what you want that they are free points but he knows my situation. I really was counting on some SBR Store items. I'm glad I was able to repay you at least Thad.

    If you guys dont believe this post just ask any mod or whoever controls the casino and sportsbook. Its true.

    Goodbye everyone. Thank you to those who have ever helped me with a sportsbook question or anything else. I will not be able to post here anymore. I will be homeless and without a car after next week.

    Aren't you from New Orleans?

    Isn't Brock Landers in your city this week and you have befriended him via SBR posts?

    Didn't he post a winner in football the SAME night you had this horrific loss??

    Results of preliminary inquiry - Brock Landers paid a creole voodoo lady to switch his luck with yours....you better catch him before he flies back to Illinois pal!

    Oh no!!!

    I told you to get into the Store

    Wasn't the best idea to play right after SBR lost a lot of points with the promo too.

    Sorry man, that stinks.

    I was waiting on responses from PM's that I had sent to about 5 mods and ultimately Sam9Ball about getting expedited shipping on an ipad and about 10 $100 gift cards. I had the items in my cart in the store.

    and yes to whoever said about LOL at the last line that I needed an ipad and giftcards to get out of the gutter, it is 100% true. it was going to pay my rent, past due car title loan, past due phone bill, and past due insurance. laugh if you want. i deserve it. the last 2 i dont care but car will get repo'd and rent can only extend for 7 days. and i lost my job in the summer so i have no income.

    edit: thank you centaur for the 50 points

    Ironically I lived 27 years in Illinois.

    But even he couldn't do this to me. Nobody could be that bad. If you think about it, betting 1 point is the same as betting 1 dollar as far as chip denominations. So in a sense, if these were dollars and not points like on any other sportsbook or online casino, in roughly 2 hours I would have lost $44,000

    no, i only have 1 family member, my dad and he lives in chicago which is 950 miles away. theres a couple good homeless shelters in dowtown new orleans, i think the red cross sponsors one, im not sure. as long as they have water there and a place to use a bathroom and a place to sleep indoors. i know most of the homeless males in new orleans sleep outside though. most of the indoor shelters are for females.

    wow!

    but yeah.. i found that if i bet more than 25 pts a hand (or spin or anything) i lose.. i once bet 100 pts a turn at the roulette.. black.. came up like 7 straight red.. then i changed to red.. guess what happened? lost a few thousand points in minutes..

    only luck i ever had was betting low on deuces wild and changing to a big bet (25) and won a deuces royal..

    good luck bro! it is always darkest before dawn.. it WILL get better!

    So you at least have a computer and internet service in your house, unless your public library runs some real strange hours and allows you to spend days on the Net.

    So if you need rent, sell the computer cancel Internet.

    Telling me Popeye's or McDonalds ain't hiring? Mo-fo's are always hiring.

    terrible story. i clicked your points history last night because i wanted to see if you bought something cool, i saw a -36,000 withdraw to the casino and hoped you were just hiding your points.

    That's about a $1800-$2000 loss depending on what you would have bought. It's not a life changing amount but you must feel numb regardless. It's how the casinos work. Sorry it happened to you though. Best of luck.

    man what a fukkin story
    SBR guys were celebrating
    They got you

    Blackjack is the worst

    I think after you dropped a few thousand you should of stopped for a while and let software reset

    I lose all the time but smaller amounts

    What online casinos do more than any other form of gambling is you bet more money as you lose and then they get it all
    Its so hard to stick to $1 a hand even when losing
    Its so quick also so it does not take long to get destroyed

    Sorry Man

    Woj,

    The writing was on the wall. Go back and read your posts in the BJ promo thread. You knew you were playing with fire.

    I get sick when I piss away a few hundred points in there, cant imagine how you feel pissing away $1500 + in gift cards

    My first thought was "why the f would someone spend almost 44k points to chase less than 300????" But then I got off my high horse and thought back to when I was in my teens/early 20s sitting in casinos doing the same thing. I'd be up say $2k and swing down to $1800. Instead of being happy that I was still up a decent amount, I'd want to get back that money I "lost". And like clockwork... all of my winnings would soon be gone + whatever cash I'd brought with me in the first place. Sometimes I'd even hit keep hitting the ATM. And I'd fall further and further in the hole. All over a small amount of money. Gambling is a sickness that can mess you up. It preys on the greedy and the unfortunate and everyone in between. I'm sending you all the good vibes I have that things turn around for you, ThaWoj.
