Over the past three years, I'm probably down around $1200-1500 in Sports Betting. I usually start out well, get on tilt, and bet something insanely stupid for my entire roll and ultimately lose.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm proud to announce that I am actually taking money off a site instead of just depositing!
I put $210 on Bet Islands 12/12 and cashed out $975 today. Still have 305 in balance (105 is on Providence -1... made the bet before I decided to cash out, so that's why it's WAY more than 10% of bankroll).
Not trying to brag, just wanted to share a success story haha. For those of you who usually bust (like me), it's nice to know that there is hope!
Also, as mentioned in a previous thread, avoid Blackjack!!!
