#387Do you have a split personality?
Maybe he got it from the fact that you have been preaching throughout this thread about how bad gambling is and telling people not to do it.
Then you go and post this link of your gambling activity

And I have one more post to put there not with a numerical update, but simply with emotions/feelings etc. - yes, I've been trying to control this "demon" but I can tell you lately it has taken the best of me, I can easily lose this amount just like I did in the past:
Besides I have lack of sleep etc. - I wanna get a long break, my wife is in the 8th month (first child - son) ... it's not easy for me, I'm being completely honest both with my numbers and with my emotions as well, will update it in the next few minutes...
Life is not easy with this demon, that's why I wish I could be out already, FOR GOOD .... !!Comment -

Las Vegas is everywhere nowadays, with a click of a button you can do the same thing from home and even with greater limits (Pinnacle for instance allows you to easily bet several thousands of dollars/pounds on side bets on NBA and in Baseball the limit goes even higher up to $50,000 or so).Comment -

When I was in Las Vegas I remember they limited my NBA Total Bet for up to $3,000 (but that was several years ago) ... nowadays you just deposit the money from your bank / credit-card and play with it.
It has become easier but that comes with stronger addiction ... and the fact it's a pure 100% market, just like stock market, makes it only more interesting to bet on ... NFL / NBA / MLB - these are sports that I believe millions of people bet on on a weekly basis.Comment -

#401Dontknow.....you are obviously very troubled and it appears gambling has got you by the balls. When you want to stop, and can't- the problem has escalated beyond your control. Gamblers Anonymous is your first step, if you truly want to stop. But it appears you have an addictive personality, so be careful avoiding drugs, alcohol, sex, sweets, and just about anything else that's fun in this life.
Personally, I've found that winning is the cure to my gambling problem.Comment -

#404Dontknow has going through many treatment methods
I believe he even went through the strap down methods wear ones gets admitted to a health care facility and they literally strap him in for 2-3 weeks and isolate him and try to make him quit
Well after they analyze the straps when treatment is over they can see what his urge was.
Well he sent me a photo of these straps and all of them almost were to the point of breaking and they are strong.
He constantly tried to break through to escape and go make a bet..I have seen a few cases where guys busted out of them and left facility
Does it work??? Well like anything else 25% success rate.Comment -

#407I'm 59, been sports gambling since I was 14. I concentrate on football and horseracing only these days, not much else interests me anymore. I find it most interesting that your are UP in football wagering, but feel you have an issue with it all. In all seriousness, do you have a problem with depression, alcohol or drug use?????? In my experience, with many of my friends- these all kind of go hand-in-hand.Comment -

#409Good god man get a grip. You sound like a whining little sissy. This is not for kids, it is for grown men who know how to conduct themselves and know that gambling can be entertainment, a profession and even a nightmare. This difference is you. Learn some self control and stop blaming everything and everyone because you are a loser. The world needs ditch diggers too pal.Comment -

#411You have to quit when you're behind. It's too hard to quit when you're ahead. If dontknow quits gambling now, he can look back on this losing bet as a good thing in future years. He should give his gambling money to his wife, so that he won't be tempted to lose it by betting.Comment -

#412His problem is that he thinks he is so smart just like every other dipsh!t hos age. He went to college and everyone told him how great and smart he was his whole life, tried gambling and got buried! Found out he is not so smart afterall and is now searching for a scapegoat because he himself could never be the problem because he is so great and smart. The real world ant all d!cksucks and lollipops kiddo. People get hurt out here real easy and real quick. Especially financially.Comment -

#417I have skimmed through this. I don't want to bash you too hard. You're trying to quit, because you have a problem. Maybe you're trying to convince one person so it helps you quit as well, I don't know. I read a lot of your posts on your forum. You have to make a deposit almost every time you bet. If you have to deposit more than once a year, chances are you have a problem with gambling. I use to deposit all the time when I was younger. I got married, and my wife started putting my vices in check. Now, I pretty much deposit $100-$150 every year and build it up to $500-$1000 and bet it all on one game. My wife watches the games with me and helps me decide who to bet on. She enjoys it, I enjoy it. Would it be cool to not withdraw or not lay it all on the line and one day build it to where I can make 1k bets? Yeah, but if you are taking out loans, and you don't have enough money to support yourself and your family, you shouldn't be betting.
Keep the money you are up online, and bet it. Your biggest problem is that you have started betting 1k+ on games, and your roll is less than 10k. You can't go back to betting $50 on a game without extremely great discipline. You'll never start winning with a losing attitude. Take a break, and come back with your roll and start betting $100-$300 per game.
BOL to you sir.Comment -

I am not too sure why everyone here advocates to 'find a system', I understand I haven't 'lost everything' but I'm not interested in getting there neither.
In a way I did control my gambling in a little bit better way than others (being up throughout the entire 2015) but in another way there is no element of control ... I could think the next LAC/PHX NBA game would definitely go OVER, risk $5,000 on it - and then it would fail ... I can risk instead $1,000 and not lose a big amount ... but seeing how I win/lose and win/lose and my balance just remains the same or even shrinks is telling me that I have no reason to keep on gambling - it won't make you rich, that's for sure.Comment
