    Sports Gambling Addict Problem
    Guys I have such a problem... If I have any money in my account, it has to be down on a game... If I have $700 in my account and I put down $500 on games, I have to put the other $200 on some things and will just do stupid bets... I'm incapable of leaving money in my account unused. Anyone else have this issue? Straight addict, I hate it and wish I would be happy with just some money sitting in there.

    Any advice on how to get out of this?

                  maybe my memory is failing me but i'm pretty sure you've made a post in the past where you said you bet $5 per game or some sorts and started with $100 and built it up to some number i can't remember.

                  regardless, if you've developed this habit of having action on all the fund you have in your account, how about setting a gambling fund on your bitcoin wallet where you just use that wallet for gambling? then just deposit on nitrogen sports on games you like then cashout right away. that way you'll have no balance to bet on? the money will just be in your bitcoin wallet.

                  might work, might not, try it. gl

                    If you need that money that's in the account, then withdraw it all and quit gambling altogether. If you don't need that money, then let it ride and enjoy the fun.

                      yeah i mean it's not an issue of needing the money... don't need it in the slightest, if i lost it all in one night i wouldn't be devastated more just annoyed at having to re-deposit which i haven't had to do in a long time. it's just annoying that i have this urge to bet it all most nights and to make sure im getting as much out there as i can. im enjoying it and letting it ride but kinda wish i could stop being such a jackass and just bet the games i want to and let the rest sit

                        Real talk...you should just quit. Gambling is psychological and I don't think you about this

                          If you don't have self-control in gambling is you're better off quitting

                                At this point you may not be able to handle this on your own and I think you know this. If you are sincere, I think it is best to go to the Gamblers Anonymous website where you can find at least a bit more expertise and that can help you deal with these problems with more than a "just stop."

                                Their website has a hotline as well. At this point it is best to understand what you are dealing with before you do something you may really regret.

                                You may not need the money now, but early behavior like this can explode into bad things.

                                Good Luck Mavs, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

                                  This is also bad advice as it won't really address what may be the issue here, it may only put off the inevitable.

                                          greg, you're fine. you're betting $20-$50 per game and not thousands.

                                          don't listen to kvb, he shouldn't be giving anyone advice with his emotional instability.

                                                Greg if you were doing this doing football season I could make a few excuses for you. Cue all the assholes who claim baseball is hugely profitable lol...Anyway, what I do when I start to just get degen is STOP. If you can't then we know there's an issue. So stop for a few weeks.

                                                  Gambling is a grim and destructive addiction that only gets worse. It's not about the money it's about being in action which is about the rush which is about boredom, loneliness, you name it. I make it a point to discourage people from getting started whenever possible. Nobody beats it. And by your description you've got no shot because even if you show discipline for a while, a losing streak will definitely send the bettor you've described into full blown destruction. You'll lose it all and then some. And everyone I've ever met that's hit that elusive big score. It only ended up fkin their lives up more than when they were broke and thought they needed it. A lot of nits on here grind out $100 bets and shit but they're no better for it. But yeah other than the truth, it's really awesome.

Cue all the assholes who claim baseball is hugely profitable lol...Anyway, what I do when I start to just get degen is STOP. If you can't then we know there's an issue. So stop for a few weeks.

                                                      All i can say is salazaar saved my gambling ass tonite. Cleveland 12x in a row. This morning jj wanted the early games and i told him. Cleve -1.5 everything on it. You can reduce ur penetrate off wagers to $5 bux. On a 12p game and a $5 bucks 3p game but you needed to drop that $125 on cleveland tonite. Then if you had any emotions left after the 3-0 win. Put $5 on the 9p. Game. This way you get ahead.

                                                                    don't listen to kvb, he shouldn't be giving anyone advice with his emotional instability.

This is an adult conversation and stop trying so hard to be cool at the expense of others. You have a lot to learn as well and often steer posters wrong.

                                                                    It's not about the dollar amounts or where you keep the funds, not at all.

                                                                    Mavs it's a good idea to do nothing at first, and just try to be happy with a balance not spent. I don't think you would have started the thread if you were enjoying you're hobby.

                                                                    Get back to the enjoyment of the hobby and try to improve you're discipline. Try to do both. Losses on those final plays at the end of the night should feel the same as other losses. If they seem worse because you are making those extra plays you feel you shouldn't and can't curb it, enjoyment will disappear quickly.

                                                                    Good Luck Mavs.
