    Lost it all on the Pats

    3 weeks of winning, over 6k. Put half on the Pats moneyline before game, doubled up with the rest at halftime.

    3 weeks of grinding, all gone.



    Pats win Im living the highlife. Now, i've hit an all time low. Depressed, drunk/hungover posting sob stories to you guys on here.

    Where to even go from here? Nothing to bet on but NBA and College hoops and thats such a crapshoot....

    Last 21 days of betting I had won 18/21 of those days with smart, efficient grinding. The Superbowl and prestige surrounding it got the best of me and I "had to fire big". I went 0-6 today and lost it all, its pathetic.

    I feel like every square in the world cashed but me. I have friends from highschool who just recreationally bet big games for fun, I look on my facebook with kids who know nothing about sports and they all had Giants also. Im sick to my stomache...

    I feel bad for you. I do because I've been there. I've grinded to a huge roll before to lose it all in a day. Probably every gambler has done that at least once. I've grown up a little bit. I lost a college basketball bet today for being a homer and betting on Illinois, and instead of going all in on the super bowl, I put a medium sized bet on the under 54 which I was going to do either way. Just gotta bet each game as if the bet before it never happened, win or lose.

    dont be depressed you douchebag, we've all been there


    learn from this and never do it again


    only two ways to make money gambling

    1) money management

    or

    2) hit and run


    if you have made two or more bets in your life then no. 2 is no longer an option

    usually when i go on a huge run, say ur 18 of 21 streak i ALWAYS make a nice withdrawl so this doesnt happen and even if u lose it the withdrawl u made makes it not hurt very bad....thats just my advice, after being where u are today b4, and never being there again

    sorry for your loss bro


    Hopefully you learned a lesson though. It is just one game that is no different from any of the ones you played over the last few weeks and should have been treated as such.

    I put a unit and a half down that was spread over 3 prop bets. I went 2-1 and won a half unit. I wish I would have played more since the under would have cashed and the other handful of props would have fared well. My point is that I didn't go crazy and I bet about the same amount I would have on any other game.

    Get out of your funk and get back to grinding out winners and get that $$ back
