I'm starting at 0 except for the money in my wallet (4 bills after I visit the ATM), and a $20 Freeplay on 5Dimes. This is it, folks! If I go bust, it's time to seriously re-evaluate the gameplan. Go back to the proverbial drawing board as I lick my wounds. I know the errors in my strategy. Poor bankroll management which seems to have insidiously crept in causing my once healthy bankroll to suffer a beating not seen since the infamous Rodney King incident. Also, I have started to bet on too many games, a result of two of my staple sports being on hiatus, namely, tennis and NBA. I've taken such degenerate lines as Women's Handball, Philippine Pro Basketball, and Dog Washing to fill the void and satiate my addiction to 'action'. Ok, Dog Washing is a joke but if it did exist, how many of us could resist a small wager if we thought we had an 'edge'?

Anyways, what I hope to do here is to put on paper, so to speak, my wagers. This will be done in an effort to either chronicle this gambler's demise or immortalize his phoenix-like rebirth from the ashes of bankroll ruin. My first wager(s) hinges heavily on Ivy-League team Princeton. I hope they can shoot hoops as well as they study.

If Princeton loses, I will be left with $5 Freeplay and $400 cash. I am hitting the casino later to play some $1/$2 NL Hold'Em in an effort to quickly double/triple/quadruple up. Let's see where I'll be at the end of tonight.

What a bunch of a$$h0les! Btw, I have a fackin job. I said I was going to the bank to make a withdrawal. Since when did that consititute the entirety of one's financial worth?! 4 bills and the $20 Freeplay are what I'm willing to lose before "seriously re-evaluate[ing] the gameplan. Go back to the proverbial drawing board as I lick my wounds." I felt I made that pretty clear. Quit projecting your issues onto mine. I would have hoped for a bit of support however foolhardy this endeavor may seem, yet instead, I am received with nothing but sour scorn and petty degradation not unlike what one gets from a little b*tch. I'll show you fackin pansies what's up. Thanks for upping my motivation ten-fold you degens. Don't try to act like the seasoned pro gambler smoking a cigar in a dim Vegas high-stakes room. You all talk like you've never been where I'm at. Don't kid yourselves. It's part of being a gambler. Now, pay close attention as the phoenix rises!

I hit both my Freeplay Parlays. Couldn't have asked for more. I grinded for 10 hours on the felt but to no avail. I lost 1 $40 buy-in. I played the entire 10 hours with that buy-in and built it up to well over $200 at one point but greed got the better of me. After the 8th or so hour, my mental ability was not up to par and made some bad decisions. Calling an all-in holding Pocket 9's on a 2 2 5 board did me in. Guy flipped over QQ. This hand crippled me and a few hands later, I shipped it in with J4 of diamonds after trying to make a play pre-flop. I was pot-committed at that point and called an all-in raise with it, hoping my 2 cards were live. Guy had Aces. What can you do? I'll get it back next weekend. Meanwhile, I will play out my small roll on 5Dimes throughout the week.

5Dimes roll: $75.58
Cash roll: $360

Last Days Of A Gambler Or Just The Beginning?

Death is the only thing that will separate a true gambler from his obsession ...........

[warriorfan707]

Not sure why but I read this whole thread.

You can do it, don't be a degen though. Be patient, pick your spots. If you are serious about building this into something you can bet with you dont have a choice otherwise you will go bust. We are not being negative, we are telling you the truth because we are experienced.

Good Luck

Here are the wagers I placed today...Please don't doubt the veracity of these wagers merely because I am posting this after the fact. I barely have time to put these wagers in, let alone post them here. I will try to post my plays before they go off, but when I'm at work I can't. Anways, got lucky again with the Canucks cashing for me on the puckline against a severely depleted Minnesota Wild side.

5Dimes Roll: $118.58
Cash Roll: $360

I'm at a workable $118.58. I can bet 1% of my roll per play with almost no worries of going busto, but it will take an eternity to build a decent bankroll. Or, I can go for the gusto and push all-in a few times hoping to hit 3-in-a-row and end up with about a dime. Or, I can deposit my $360 cash roll into 5Dimes for a decent roll of about 5 bills and go from there. We'll see what happens. Going to go handicap tomorrow's action now. Or, maybe tonight's action, if I can find a small edge on some ITF Women's Tennis or Turkish Pro Basket. I'm only half-kidding...

nice work bro, the phoenix is rising

Nice work on the two freeplays.

Hope it works out for you. Will check back, interesting read ...

Put $50 on Detroit Red Wings +105 against the Canucks. Vancouver won. Made a $300 Deposit to Heritage and got a 30% Freeplay. Great CS by Heritage once again. Night and day compared to 5Dimes.
