Wow,
It's been almost 3 years since I quit my job and moved to vegas. After 3 months I quit gambling after 6 months I moved back. I have been with my new company for almost 3 years and making 25K greater than I did as a cop. I have made 2-3 Vegas runs this year. This singe first year I have been able to go back without being angry. They were very good and Lucky I made over 5k during week 11 of NFL and that's is with losing Denver at St Louis. Doesn't hurt that I hit the pit at the Wynn for 1100 in 2 hours before I left.
Let me drop a bit of common knowledge on everyone which I knew before hand but Learned the hard way.
1) bankroll management- I started with 30k but was better $1.250 greedy bastard. This caused me to disband my system by week 4 and make new systems up as I went along. Worst decision I ever made. If I would have started with $500 a game i would have made $32,100 during the MLB season, instead I lost 22k in 4 weeks. I. Was able to live thanks to riding a NBA playoff series parlay with the Heat and Thunder. This lead me into the worst betting mistake of all time.
May 10th 2012. I had just successfully turned my remaining 8k into 13.5k with a ballsy 3 team playoff series parlay. NHL Rangers, NBA Heat and NBA Thunder. I took 1500 and flew to Florida to pay bills and look for a job. The last 12k I left in my safe off of Sunset where only I and a business partner of mine had access. He was in for 25% of my action because he helped stake my 30k.
I then made the worst mistake in my life and regret it to this day. I flew him to Vegas because I was trying to interview and spend time with my children. I told him to take the cash and bet 10k on the Heat vs Pacers and Thunder Vs Lakers. I told him that should bay about 8 and after that we would roll it all into heat in Finals. I was betting all my action at the M sportsbook and never had 1 bit of trouble placing a wager. He told
Me ok but then tried to sell me on his hometown Rangers vs the Devils. I told him no cause the Rangers looked like crap vs the Caps and felt they would lose. He argued a bit more but we laughed it off. 24 hours later I had not heard from him and he wasn't returned my phone calls. Late Monday night I get a call and my friend starts screaming about how we are about to win big!! He tells me that he placed the bet but added the Rangers because he had a gut feeling???? Without my consent. He tried to first lie about the M not allowing him to parlay the heat and thunder together without a third team. He finally landed on hunch when there was no other option. I'll never forget that week, he didn't catch his flight back and called out sick at worked in Florida. He stayed in my Condo, I am sure he was scared to face me. The day the Rangers lost the final game of that series was one of the worst days of my life. My so called friend stopped answering my calls and flew home unannounced. I then borrowed 500 from a close friend to fly back to Vegas and try to salvage anything I had left as I still had 4 months left on my lease. When I arrived at my condo in Lake Las Vegas I saw horse betting slips scattered all over and no sign of my so called friend. My rental car was parked in its spot with the second key on the floor board, i used my main key to get in and drive to my safe deposit box off of Sunset. After arriving and going through the me retina scanner I had a creepy feeing that every dime I had left was gone. Boy was I right, only
Receipts and betting slips were left. To included the 10k 3 team parlay my friend had made. I sat in their crying for at least 39 minutes before I got myself together enough to leave. I couldn't call my wife or anyone, I was so embarrassed. I had less than 100 dollars to my name. Luckily I had a good friend who loaned me $1,000 to help me try to get back on track. However by then I was depressed I stopped sports all together, I focused on Baccarat and Poker. I did quite well running the 1k to around 6k, before breaking my lease in late August. I couldn't be there for football season without money and started to be very depressed.
I didn't think this post would
Be so long and don't even care if anyone reads it was just good to get this shit off my chest. I am interested in making another run, because my baseball system won in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
I will keep all my options open, but one thing is for sure. I will never let anybody ever have access to one red cent of mine.
