    I think i need help
    I am just devastated right now. So emotionally drained from doing the same thing over and over and over. Once again i lost all my big winnings in the casino . This time at Sportbet $18600 .

    I don't know why i keep going in there i know it is rigged and when the thing starts going on its rigged bs run i know what it is doing but instead of stopping i get more mad and try getting it back. I won some big games sports betting too . I was planning to cash out at $15000 but then i went in casino and actually won some. Not like i was getting great hands as always a lot of luck.

    Then i go in again this morning and once again i started betting low and next thing you know $2500 a hand trying to get it back. I lost like every hand maybe won 2 in the entire stretch .

    I think i will stop for awhile this really emotionally drained me after getting it up there again. The good thing is at least this was free $$ the 8th deposit free at Sportbet. I get the next one too free but at this point i am so drained i think i need to just step away a couple weeks.

    I did lucking cash out $46500 so far this year . Thank god i got that and did not blow that . But Jesus the money i lost that i could have cashed out. I lost $18600 now , $13000 , $7000 , $4500,$4500 , $3000 and god knows how many others i cannot even think of. And that is just THIS year .

    I actually tried to get help before to try and see if someone can help me stay out of an obviously rigged casino. I guess i am looking for a way to keep out once i build it up from sportsbetting. They always tell me i am fine because i have not lost my home or my car to gambling. I swear that makes no sense but that is what they told me.

    I know we talked in the forum before about this others that have the same problem i do. WHY - Why do we go in a casino that we know is rigged and will just take all our money . Why can't we stop even though we know what is happening in front of us. Because i cannot give myself a reason. Is it the rush? But i know it is rigged so what is the point. Is it because i just want to feel i win something significant in there just once ? I mean -if you lose insane amounts all the time like this in seconds shouldn't you be able to win once in awhile . But that never happens either. I have won smaller amounts but never have i won 20,000 ,$18600,$9000 etc like i have lost. I figure maybe if i can figure out why i keep going in there i can put a lasso around it and keep myself out.

    But for now i am stopping a couple weeks i am too drained after this it has been one too many times this happened to me and i am just spent .

    if casino is the problem, self exclude from the casino. if the book wont allow you to self exclude from the casino, self exclude from that book

    if gambling in general is the problem, take the money out of all books and self exclude from them all

      I've been trying to talk some sense into you for years. The first step is accepting that you have a major problem. From there, you can take steps to avoid this happening again. Immediately PERMANENTLY disable all online casinos. For years, I used to go in and out of the online casinos as well for the attempt at quick money and lord knows how much I lost until I finally had enough, looked in the mirror and got some will power and control over myself and my actions.

      I wish you the best and taking a bit of time off to clear your head is a good idea.

        gambling is a bitch

        just keep reminding your self that there is no skill involved in casino games, its all pure luck, and even that is not enough cause games have house edge built into them, so you will always lose

        at least in sports betting you can overcome house edge (vig) by betting off lines

          It is the casino. But in a way the Sportsbetting side is added in because i feel like after getting some big wins (Like last night) and sitting through watching the game it all is just wasted in minutes because of the casino. Some books i have blocked- some wont let me. Like at Youwager i did block the virtual but the Live is still there.

                  That is exactly how i think . I want to just win some-enough to build my bankroll up. You know like deposit $350 and figure i can go in casino and get to $400 and stop. I will try and see if i can disable them all again. Some i have but i am still going to just stop i think this was just 1 too many times happening. Maybe in a couple weeks i will try and disable who will let me(I cant remember but i know i asked and a couple said no ) and then just focus on baseball.

                    Luckily i start smaller and build it up. This $18600 started at $350 . And yes through a bunch of playing i did win a chunk in the casino. Through pure luck. Maybe $5000 was won in casino but through a lot of hands. Then as with every online casino it always goes on an insane run that you will never get. I would be better off though instead of trying to win a lousy $50 to get to $400 to put it on a heavy soccer or tennis fav . At least if it loses (Which i have had horrible luck with tennis ) at least i will feel i was not cheated like with a casino.

                          Well , maybe with slots but there is some basic common sense skill involved in BJ . I mean at a live casino i win a decent amount 80% of the times and come out ahead playing basic strategy . As long as the cards are fair which live sitting there they pretty much are. Online not at all . Like (And i lost a ton on hands like this) If dealer has a 6 showing and you have an 11 and DD if that happens 10 times you should win at least 6 of 10 . Online you will lose 8 of 10 .

                          Also , and maybe it is just me. But has anyone noticed when dealer gets BJ or an ACE the screen feels and acts differently? I dont know how to explain it. But i will know the dealer has BJ before he even gets his cards.

                                        The reason you havent stopped is because youve had success at it before.

                                                          First thing to do is stop blaming
                                                          the casino for your problems.

                                                          The problem is not the online casino
                                                          The problem is YOU.

                                                          You have no control over your actions
                                                          so as you said take a few weeks off.

                                                          Look in the mirror tell yourself this will
                                                          not happen again in the future and
                                                          at the same time forget the past, even
                                                          though you own it.

                                                          Th casino is doing what it was created
                                                          to do.. seperate you from your money
                                                          now it’s time for you to do what you
                                                          were meant to do and that is be smart
                                                          and strong enough to stay away from
                                                          that online Heroin.

                                                          Bol with your battle.. I hope you
                                                          break it!

                                                            You have conditioned your brain to want to gamble so that it gets more Dopamine which in turn makes you feel better. You need to re-wire your brain by cutting off gambling completely.

                                                                      This does make sense the most i guess. Funny thing is though when it happens and others can probably back me up on this. It is not really "Fun" when you do it. I mean the whole time i am sitting there i am basically nervous the whole time waiting for the dealer to start screwing me and hoping i will get lucky. I think it is more stressful to be honest then actually fun or relaxing. Sure, if i do get lucky and win i do feel better like you say, but the rest of the time is just more stress.

                                                                      The hardest thing to explain is when the bad run starts happening i can see it and know it but i still do not stop. Like when i was down to $16000 with insane hands instead of seeing the crap for what it is like i should i just keep going. Is it dopamine that makes me lose it maybe though ? IDK but when it happens i pretty much shake and get so pissed off at being cheated that instead of stopping i get even angrier and more aggressive.
