Is getting soul-crushed a real thing?

JayLA · 06-12-21, 08:04 AM

Absolutely. At least i feel like a shitty person after huge losses. I replay how I I could have used that money for my family. In many ways it is selfish. But that's my problem for raising my bets to that point. I try to take breaks from coming here. Take breaks from sports and spend long stretches of my income on things that i benefit my family.

But i come back to well all the time.
Good luck bro

Honestly what works for me is not watching the games I bet on. I still lose some but I don't have to be tortured with every possession. Also play money is about 20% of what real money gaming is so that helps too. Gl today guys tread lightly!

I have not watched a game I bet on in years start to finish, unless I watch it in person at the arena/stadium, etc... no need to put yourself through that. Bet the numbers and move on.

Agree with not watching the games. Winning or losing, good streak or bad, it's much easier just getting a score every half hour or so.

Yes! No need to torture yourself or increase your blood pressure over stupidity. Cable news is available for that!

Anyone with mood swings as far as Gambling is a compulsive gambler and needs help

It means you’re betting above your means

If this was true then thomorino would be soul crushed 24/7 for 365 days a year.

Roger T. Bannon · 06-12-21, 08:52 AM

Yes. For example, some have never recovered from Trump losing.

Roger T. Bannon · 06-12-21, 08:59 AM

Soul crushing happens when you realize that everything you believed was wrong. You are not a winner. You are a loser. Women do not find you attractive. You will never succeed in life. etc. etc.

I wouldn't go that far. That sounds like manic depression.

We need to remember we take risks that others don't. That's it. Other people lose at Herbalife or a failed business idea....we lose on the bounce of a ball. We just need to get over it and either quit or relaod

Every gambler believes they are a genius. Finding out otherwise is soul crushing. Usually you just ignore it and double down and hope for the best.

I don't understand pro-trumpers including some ppl in my own family. Might as well hang a swastika on your mf front door. I respect everyone but we got Biden for 8 yrs sry donaldo

It is hard because you finally found someone that thought and acted like yourself and they won. It made you a winner in life. And then the soul crushing loss.

Unfortunately, Uncle Joe is no better. Just a more acceptable version. He does not say it out loud.

Totally agree. If you are having a panic attack over a bet you probably can’t afford to bet.

Maybe he can run for president of the inmates at the federal prison.

Are you gambling men? Or gambling boys? Manage your bets, emotions, and monies.

Get a fukkin hold of yourselves, pick yourself up, and do better.

Getting your soul crushed sucks. The worst part is even if you pick up the pieces and put it back together, a little part is always missing and you will never have a whole soul again. There will always be a void that can never be filled. Live goes on though.

KVB · 06-13-21, 11:45 AM

Nonsense Foxx, the mind and soul are remarkable and will bounce back even stronger than before, if you let it.

What doesn't kill you, but only crushes you, will make you stonger, if you let it.

If you let it.
