Attitude is everything

Whether you think you can or think you can’t

You are correct

Practice affirmations in the mirror

If you’re losing take a break

Go on a hike

Go out to bars with friends

It’s not that hard. Gambling will not make you rich. I’m up $20k in sports this year and telling you that. It will never be an income or lead to you living well.

Haven’t bet/gambled in over a week, not much urge to except I miss poker and seriously FUK bitcoin. Sold 1 bitcoin at $5500 couple weeks ago and kicking myself.

lifetime wagering, nobody is good. streaks come and go, when you are winning you think WTF I am really good at this, when you are losing most think geez I get a ton of bad breaks. less than 1% will win in the long run. one of these years check out the top 10 in BTP, and search how many of these same top 10 are consistently top 10. I will guess zero.

you must consider this a hobby and you set aside a certain amount of money each season or each year, if you win it is an unexpected victory and you will have plenty of those unexpected victories but not as many as the other side. every seasoned gambler can tell you stories concerning bad breaks and how they cost him a game. I have a bunch of those stories, I can hardly remember the good breaks though--but believe me they have happened also.

hang in

Took me 20 years to Master. Lots of stats, watching games, learning patterns, screen time, reading books, talking to bookies, traveling, booking bets, trying sober and high and playing with systems. Finally got it. Just like pushing a car, once it gets rolling, it's not to hard. Patience.

right, you can wish/think/pray/meditate and do whatever BS you want. When an opposing player dunks the ball as time is running out and you were winning that particular game every second until that very last shot you can shove all those affirmations, you know where

if thinking good thoughts made us winners, books would be closing every 5 minutes. no, it is variables, luck and streaks

Not even sure how that's truly possible

Might have to end this nonsense tonight. I can roll with a lot of punches in this shit but it's getting to a point I don't even think I can handle.

It's not what they bring, it's how they bring it.

Don't be discouraged here, whether you lose by 2 runs or 20, it's the same loss.

Sometimes we're the windshield, but today we're the bug...

Just don't lick the windshield after the bug hits and you'll be fine...

**Mackballs** · 05-15-19, 04:01 PM

Angels 18 hits and can't win

14 men stranded

When just the last time a team had 18 hits and lost? Has that ever happened?

**Mackballs** · 05-15-19, 04:24 PM

Giants three errors in five innings lol

We are defying odds each game here.

**Mackballs** · 05-15-19, 04:25 PM

A team losing with 18 or more hits has actually happened 67 times since (and including) the 2004 season.
The last time was 9-8-2018 when the Blue Jays lost to the Indians.
Good luck.

It happens; I went 0-5 today, which isn't surprising given that I'm a dog bettor and favorites went 13-1.

This may be the first time I ever saw you post in coloured font. Getting all slick in 2019!!

Try to hang in there Mack. There are times where it feels like the gambling gods are against us but we tend to forget when they seemed to be on our side as well. I guess we just have to hope that overall they like us more in the long run

**jjgold** · 05-16-19, 07:21 AM

Mack is a pathological gambler

A compulsive, or pathological, gambler is someone who is unable to resist his or her impulses. This can lead to severe consequences. The urge to gamble becomes so great that tension can only be relieved by gambling more and more.
Sufferers are often unaware, or in denial, of having a problem. The step toward addressing the gambling is admitting there is a problem. For some people, this awareness comes only when they reach rock bottom.
This was formerly a compulsive disorder, and now considered an addiction disorder in the DSM-5

**shari91** · 05-16-19, 07:46 AM

I'm starting to think you're being flirty Goldstein

**Chi_archie** · 05-16-19, 07:49 AM

Mack Cut back on MLB and lets focus on NBA and NHL for a bit. less up to chance with motivation, short term health issues, more info and predictable right now. Less fukkin variance
