    I'm addicted!!! [Almost lost £2,000 GBP]

    I almost lost £2,000 last night in the NBA playoff games.

    First, I placed a crazy bet £1000 on Indiana (Money Line, they had -9 before the game started) to win like £130, I thought it's a safe bet and I placed it while they were leading in the 1st quarter by like 8-10 points - and I lost the £1000 because Orlando won the game in Money Line (and with the +9 spread too).

    I went to sleep already and put an alarm to check the ORL-IND scores and was so down to see the idiots have lost the game, so I couldn't sleep any longer and just "had to chase" and bet on the DALLAS - OKLAHOMA game, when I woke up like not a long ago, it was around 78 - 78 the score, something around that and I took the OVER 187 points (by then they scored only 15 points in the 4th quarter when I placed the bet and 6 minutes of that quarter went away already so I figured low scoring 4th quarter is not possible so go OVER all the way) ...

    So yeah, I did get this one right, but what if they had low scoring and I would have lost the other £1000 I bet with?

    Not only that, I deposited using my Halifax card and now I need to wait like 5 days to get that stupid withdrawal back and the bank is gonna start charging me overdraft fees of £1 per day so I might lose another 5 quid over that ya, so it sucks, plus the £12 fee from Pinny so I'm already lost "only" £22 out of all this craziness of my own stupid selfishness ... I think I totally have a gambling addiction !!!! what should I do ???

    Take smaller bets, and don't bet on the nba. Easy.

    I think San Antonio is a good bet yeah, but who guarantees they can win against UTAH ?
    UTAH is good, they are not small players there.

    I'm not a losing player normally, I made more money with Pinny than losing but still, I could have been down £2000 ....

    I'm such a mixed person, been living in both US and UK and know the systems very well in these 2 countries, my girlfriend is from Brooklyn and I love her with all the pieces of my heart and I wanna propose to her but if I spend the £2000 on this **** then I won't be able to buy her a ring hahahahahha it's ironic, hilarious, sad and weird on the same time, right?

    Btw if we get married our children will be dual citizens, I'm European (Austria) and she's American (US) so when they grow up they get to choose to live in either continent of this small planet? How about we get also Canadian, Australian and South African passports, is that easy hahahah ?!?!

    You don't have a gambling addiction just because you chased a loss

    It was a good one, still 4th quarter to go but the Spurs look very solid.

    Your welcome, now go all in on the Heat tomorrow...I mean **** they just beat the Knicks by 33 yesterday what are the odds they lose tomorrow? Pick and choose your moneylines, only way Knicks win is if they go Tonya Harding on Dwayne Wade or Lebron before the game

    Miami is only -9.5 spread, spurs had -11, so it's riskier, I think I had enough fun and money made for this week, I'd rather cashout and relax a bit from gambling lol.
