    The Final Thread (Gambling Retirement)
    Feels like my gambling life is winding down. Been funded for about 4 months and it seems everyday the interest is waning. It doesn't help the fact that I cant figure out how to win, flat betting, tailing good cappers, fading Lang. No matter what I do I just cant win.

    I have a few small bets pending from 1pm games so not sure what my roll will be at $342.50 in my account with $38 pending.


    NFL: Rams -123 $12.30-$10.00
    NFL: Cowboys -128 $12.80-$10.00


    would like to fire off more money here but really no sure plays for the late games. Everyone on houston but I love KC to pull out a win in a close one.

          only gamble when you feel like it or are motivated to do so...why force it?

          your win rate will probably go up if you pick your spots better

            That is sound advice Mr. peavy. I still have some passion left. Its what ive done since I was 18. I always seem to come back to it. Will see how this goes may even end up withdrawing some and treating myself to something.

                Any form of gambling is not fun. It is stressful. My personality type is that of always trying to be the best and gambling ends up stressful even if it is 2$ bets

                  bet the same way with 5k that you do with 500. don't say "lets see what happens" and you'll see this shit turn around. Bol man.

                                  That’s actually not a lot I should be at 500,000

                                  Stressing over small bet size is a silly

                                      in quitting gambling or posting less?

                                      both would be a good idea

                                                  birdmanweezy, if you seriously want to win then turn the juice in your favor by taking bonuses and making bets on stuff that's less watched (easier to find an advantage or different lines on nascar/ufc/boxing/1st halves/props/etc)

                                                  i think bookmaker group still has 100% bonus up to 1000, skybook/mania will probably give 150%, etc

It doesn't help the fact that I cant figure out how to win, flat betting, tailing good cappers, fading Lang. No matter what I do I just cant win.
                                                                  Id be willing to bet it all started to go downhill when you started fading Lang. Hope youre able to stay in the game bud.

Follow trends in all sports, who's hot and who's not.. Don't go off a feeling, go off trends and real numbers.. Make it a business decision and not an emotional personal decision and maybe you can rebound..

                                                                    Don't load up, don't chase, stay consistent and disciplined with your betting.. I know that's boring, a grind and takes alot of fun out of it but you will still have juice riding on games and maybe you can then start winning and turn it around...

                                                                    I win consistently over time in all sports except for NFL and I don't have a crystal ball.. I play the numbers and trends in all sports..
