"Mathematically speaking gambling is a losing proposition in the long run. Only money in gambling I can see to be made are on fixed matches but those opportunities are rare and I have no time for that." (Swaggy P - January 6, 2015)

You mean becoming a bookmaker?
Yes, technically it's right but I wouldn't want to have a job where I get paid to take other people's money...
The entire concept of betting nowadays is a bit different because you don't see the person you're betting with, you only see odds, numbers and figures - but it's still based on the very same way of gambling in history, it's just much more modernized and attractive than before.Comment -
I feel sorry for probably thousands of bettors who had bets on the NFL Superbowl last night.
Those who saw the line dropping from 47.5 to 47 claiming "the public takes the under" (who is "the public" really? how do you know what their bets are?) ---> anyway the game was over with 52 points.
Not only that, 1st quarter was scoreless, 0-0, probably made lots of bettors to take the under and smile, thinking they already won.
Then the end of this NFL game ... I just watched the replay now for 3 minutes, didn't watch the whole game... but I could see how this game would make LIVE BETTORS go broke, and that is the Superbowl, you might say it's televised and all that, but it's amazing how this game was built to destroy bettors and cause more gambling addiction.
Even those who screamed to take the Patriots before the game or during the game, and saw them coming back from a deficit of 10 points are only going to go further into gambling now, because these types of comebacks never put you in a situation where this is your last bet in life.Comment -

Gambling is like any other vice and can cost you much more than other addictions. SWIM has had extensive addiction problems to various substances, gambling and many other things for over a decade. SWIM was in denial about this for 10+ years, it wasn't until this person had lost his family, friends, fiance, $, dignity, and self-worth before realizing the absolute destruction and devastation these things had caused this person over a span of 10+ years.
SWIM felt this need to escape the current moment. to not use his critical thinking skills and his mind to create his path in life but to let drugs and gambling do it for him. This person has changed a lot once drugs and gambling became an everyday part of life. Mentally he has lost not only his edge, but some may say part of his sanity from the years of sleep deprivation, drinking, drugs and gambling, Which brings me to physically, prime years of his life to look great, travel, meet new and interesting people and hopefully beautiful woman were spent instead doing drugs and gambling. Emotionally, focusing on such a narrow field with sports and gambling stunted this person a great deal in relationships, they weren't used to being present, they were "offline."
This person has used overeating, binge drinkings, cigs, (insert drug here), porn, sports betting, poker, blackjack, and many other vices to escape. He nnow goes to therapy and seems to making progress. I wish him the best because he is a great guy but casinos/bookies prey on compulsive/emotionally disoriented/drunk people. It's sick the stories of what gambling does to them and the mindset it can put people in.Comment -
Swaggy P: Hey baby how do you want it tonight?? Regular or in the puszy?

Well said my friend. I just started sports betting 5 years ago. I got demolished the first 4.5 years and just won a good size chunk from my bookie this month. I might be calling it quits after the NCAA Tourney. I know as well as anyone else it can go in a downward spiral in a heartbeat.
The only way out is to quit. Meaning to delete your account and change your phone number so Bookies won't cold call you. There is always a way out. It's mind over matter. You control your own destiny. GL to you all and I wish everyone the best in their decisions and lives.Comment -
for op and his relapse...Comment -
What a stupid fukkin threadComment -
So, you are trying to tell me that this is a great thread?Comment -
Love these 'warning' type of threads. It's called gambling for a reason.., you win some and you lose some... If You can't handle it, like the OP, then get help!
Can't take the heat, get the F outta the kitchen!Comment -
Fuk him.

No sir,
I had a bet placed last night risking £388.50 to win £718.73 [£330.23 net profit, i.e. $500 USD exactly as GBP/USD is now 1.518] - proof:
My total profit for 2015 is £2,108.01 - all documented (used the link above), every single bet is documented, but I learned already from past experience this won't hold up unless I quit ... by quitting it seems like either quitting for good or for quite a while would all do you good.
I remember this thread I had a few years ago:
Gosh, I lost so much afterwards, much more than $18,000 ... so I don't want to repeat the same mistake again.
[My biggest mistake back then was betting £4,000 per each NBA game - if you want proof I will post it here with no problems.]
I am a man of my word, I document what I say, I follow up with what I do with my gambling life, unlike many fool of %^%g here who claim they "document" their activity - mine for 2015 is fully documented, until the very last cent.Comment -
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.Comment -
op you're just a weak minded individual without self control, not everyone's like you. if you don't know bankroll management or even if you know bankroll management but if you refuse to follow bankroll management, you really shouldn't frequent these forums. you should instead spend majority of your free time attending ga meetings. people like you make gamblers look fickle.
how does one objurgate daily about gambling just to fold within few months?
