Nope. Continue with discipline, stick with what is working, and stay the course. When you don't stay the course that's when recklessness takes over and that results in disasters.

Best of luck to everyone this New Year.

funnyb25 · 01-01-20, 11:02 AM

Prolly should, but gotta fill the void, so will continue to gamble on games. ADDICTED.

We Got Games all day today!

Increase bet sizing is my res.

Demonata · 01-01-20, 11:10 AM

Gambling keeps me from doing worse things to make extra money so never stopping!

hubie69 · 01-01-20, 11:40 AM

Not here. Just keep grinding. This is a great time to look back at your betting database, look over your bets from the last year, and see where you can improve

If I answered that question "yes," considering this is a gambling forum, it would probably throw up a lot of red flags. .. Lol
So no..
Work on trying to find a way to filter choices to limit my bets..

Nobody can stop unless you get professional help there’s no such thing as quitting on your own

Stop it JJ..

Can quit anything in life on your own if you have the desire, discipline and inner strength to do so. JUST SAY NO!!

Think of something else in your mind then your addiction when the cravings hit you. Go for run and go to the gym instead. Get a job or business and occupy your free time and keep your mind busy. Go to church and finding God can also do it.

Rehab isn't always the answer. This goes for Gambling, Drug, Sex and or Alcohol addictions.. Gotta know that you are in trouble though and want to quit with a passion.

No way, I'm amping it up!

Same. 2.5x only should help make less dumbass plays.

The good book proves you cannot quit gambling on your own if you are a compulsive gambler you will eventually go back unless you’re enrolled in GA on a regular basis .

Consistent Grind betting amounts can be increased.

I find myself being very hit and miss lately (this year) and only squeezing out small profits over time.. Only way to combat that is to increase the Grind betting sizes..

We all wish there was a pill we can take daily not tongamble but there’s not

funnyb25 · 01-01-20, 10:33 PM

I sat down with myself first thing this morning and said I would't force bet this year and only stick to what I liked well in advance. First bet of year was a force bet cuz I could not wait until my favorite play. Force bet lost. New year, same shit. Day 1.

jjgold · 01-01-20, 10:35 PM

Lol

funnyb25 · 01-01-20, 10:39 PM

It happens. I will try again in 2021.

Otters27 · 01-01-20, 11:00 PM

You can only stop things you want to stop. I don't want to quit gambling so I won't.

lakerboy · 01-01-20, 11:13 PM

It's hopeless. You can't win long-term.

Things you tell yourself

1. I won't fade a line move. ( You do it anyways because you think you know better)

2. You will only play games you think you have an edge on. ( You bet games last second you didn't even look at all day)

3. You will flatbet( LMAO)

4. You can't win.

Jayvegas420 · 01-01-20, 11:13 PM
