I go from a $2,000 deposit to $18000, feel like I can't be beat, then withdraw 10K, leaving 8K, planning on running it back up thinking I won't have to deposit in the near future, then I blow that 8K, and have to send $2,000 back in and start over.

I can't handle it. I just can't handle losing. If I have a losing day, I take it personally. I make sure that I win it back the next day and then it just gets into this chasing habit.

All the while, my personal life suffers, I go from being in a great mood with the g/f and promising to take her to dinner and movie to telling her to shut the fukk up and go away because I get hit on a bad beat.

Don't think I can handle it anymore. Too negatively affecting my personality, mood, and health.

It has been profitable, but I"m not sure if wild erratic profits are worth the damages. I'm too young for this shit. Maybe I'll get divorced in my 40s and can move to vegas with no responsibility or commitment and degen my life away. The only time I feel alive lately is when I cash a huge bet and that doesn't seem healthy.

how old are you,

[hawley]

At least you will still be at a top 5 law school soon kerrywood

[BigTenSports]

how old are you,

24. I remember how I got into gambling. Had a friend in 7th grade where we would put $10 on like 20 games a week. I wish I had never met that bastard.

[BigTenSports]

I called Tony a douchebag and told him to close my 5dimes account. Their ridiculous betting options make quitting impossible.

[aggieshawn]

because you have multi personalities!!!

[Emily_Haines]

I was up 2000 before the night card and now after the night card I'm down 500

I here what you are saying

[BigTenSports]

Not sure what you mean.

I'm a pretty normal guy. My family doesn't know I gamble, my mother is very southern baptist and would claim it is a huge sin and that I need to right myself with God.

Go through a girlfriend a year typically, but I like this one and I'm going to assume that if i continue gambling, she won't put up with this moody shit.

Can't blame it on friends...I am 34 and drank for years with friends...I have been sober almost one yr...friends aren't the reason I drank, reasons I got in trouble when I drank, and aren't the reason I quit...one person decided all of that...me..moral of the story is you don't gamble because a friend got you into approx 12 years ago and if you do you have a very very long road ahead...

I either win big or lose big. When I lose, I lose fast. 3-4 bets in a row drains my bank after a week of building it up. Thank God I usually get 2-3 payouts in before I fukk it up.

Man, I've always wondered about addiction.

I used to smoke pot weekly in high school, I don't crave the stuff anymore and never touch it.

I used to drink daily in college. I could never drink again and be fine.

But I have gambled pretty much every day of my life since I was 18 in some form or fashion. They say some are prone to be addicts, but the ONLY thing I've ever been addicted to is gambling. And Japanese steakhouse.

It's called Gambler's Anonymous. If you can't handle the stress, get the fukk away from gambling (to include sites like this).

As for every gambler who has ever tried to quit, I'm not sure I really want to quit.

I just wish I could emotionally detach myself from my plays and enjoy it.

Anyone got that part figured out?

He's referring to all the other accounts you've had on this site.

Don't watch the games. Don't obsess over updates. That's what I do to detach myself. Also, I don't think of the money in my account as 'money' rather just numbers on a screen. If I have a big hit, the number goes up. If I have a big loss, the number goes down. I rationalize it as just a number.

Also, if you really are trying to quit (or have tried to quit), then you're not going to be unsure in your desire to quit. You're using that wishy-washy thinking as a crutch to continue to gamble, and blaming your friend who introduced you to gambling is a cop out. Either embrace the fact that you go on good runs and pull out before you blow your wad, or stop. Simple as that.

Japanese steakhouse.

Stick to the Japanese steak house addiction...I really feared my gambling issues would strengthen putting down the booze...thankfully I have far less urge and much more control...I think it's because I have a grip on the one thing that had the most control over me...best of luck...

I am just curious to why you keep coming back, they ban all of your handles and you keep outing yourself with your constant lies, you arent even a law student thats a fact. Why would you come back knowing the brass here at SBR don't want you to post on their site.

You're wrong and you know it. But don't ruin the integrity of this thread. It isn't about you or your witch hunts.

Truth hurts dont it, you have lied under numerous handles and been outed every time, you arent a law student and you are the biggest air bettor on this forum. That is to say a lot because 85% of this forum are air bettors. You dont even have the pride to admit to your past posting handle. Must suck to go thru life ashamed of who you are, especially on an internet gambling site.

Moving on... does anyone have the same struggles? Snapping at their wife/girlfriend if a lost bet? How do you guys handle it?

1st I wake up in the morning and be proud of who I am, unlike someone in this thread who has to constantly hide and cower and lie to get attention of strangers on an internet gambling forum, thats how I start sir.

I sincerely doubt you are proud of who you are.

99.9% of the time you are posting on this forum, you are arguing with someone about something.

Those kinds of individuals are NEVER happy.

There are lots of posters here who are very cordial with others. Those guys are happy. You, you are bitter about something and you know it.

So since you are so proud of who you are, why don't you tell us what in life makes you bitter that makes you behave the way you do on here?

Just admit you are Kerry/Priskilla/WitchtaState/Failed law student and you will feel much better about your spineless self.

[crustyme]

it is kerrywood..... nice catch, guys.

Why admit something that isn't true? To make YOU feel better about your life?

Admit you are bitter about your life and deal with it by logging into sbrforum and bickering with individuals who you have never met.

[CanuckG]

Sounds like gambling isn't for you.

[BigTenSports]

it is kerrywood..... nice catch, guys.

LOL... says the liberal... real great job Obama is doing running this country straight into the shitter. Way to vote for him, dipshit.

[frizzelli]

it is kerrywood..... nice catch, guys.

The reason why this idiot constantly gets banned and laughed off the forum is he thinks he can change his handle, Go ahead Kerry change your name but their is one thing you cannot change Kerry and that is your retardation pal.

I go from a $20 deposit to $80, feel like I can't be beat, then withdraw 30 bucks and buy a porno, leaving 50, planning on running it back up thinking I won't have to deposit in the near future, then I blow that fitty, and have to send $20 back in and start over.

All the while mom's bitchin at me about how I sold her jewelry at the pawn shop and I go from being in a great mood with my mom and promising to move out and get a job to telling her to shut the fukk up and go away because I got 20 ridin on a prop bet.
