Shut up dumb shit, I commented on the topic and then little turf Nash attacked me personally.

Respect the forum rules

Respect the forum rules please, morino

Thread had potential, I was just getting started.

Mods should probably just saloon it now.

Its quite sad. SBR used to have great contributors, most are long gone but you're one of the remaining few. You actually contribute solid info, stats, plays, theory, intellect, etc......

And Morino offers none of that except posting plays. And for every play he posts, he derails two threads. Hes a huge net negative to this site.

There used to be decent moderation in TT but I guess that left when j7 did

withdraw a lot

keep balances smaller

Lol it's in PT now.

I hope at least my early posts in this thread get bettors thinking. I don't really take pride in posts per se, but I fell like I was uncovering some rare and difficult truths early on in the thread.

The real issue is that the real issue can be different for everyone. And everyone, even if the real issue is the same, may need to approach things differently.

Each bettors real issue, after all, doesn't exist in a vacuum.

Had Wisky as well. The Texas one was pretty frustrating

[gauchojake]

I was at Costco which added to the frustration. Then they had some sort of halloween thingy and little kids were blocking the cigar shop.

I think people are more susceptible to tilt in the casino

stop for a few days until your head clears and you can see an easy win

Gamble in the SBR casino/sportsbook! Only place on earth where losing means as much as winning- NOTHING!

[Runeblade]

You have to be stone faced like your at the poker table even when your winning. No emotion. I think the best way to combat this is to put yourself in high pressure situations to adapt on how to react accordingly. Obviously money management is key but your have to accept that you will lose and lose really hard sometimes. Look what just happened to with GB/Arizona with bettors taking the over. When you feel like your at the top of the mountain is when you can fall down the hardest.

Will power. Few have it in the betting game.

I don't go on Tilt exactly because I've been doing this for so long, but I think about some of the dumbass things I've done. I won a poker tournament on Pacific Poker back in 2004 for $6600. I quickly ran it up to $10,500 and I was playing $25/$50 limit Hold'em and other shit I can't afford and lost back down to $3500. I was in the Air Force at the time, and hell I only was only making $35k a year. $7000 was a ton of money then and its a ton of money to me now! I'm a working man!

Bottom line to me is to know yourself when it comes to gambling or life in general. Are you bored and need action? Are you lonely or disappointed with your life? Do you have some kind of unresolved issues and go to gambling as your pain killer? Is it just a hobby that you enjoy occasionally that you can control? Are you really & truly gambling for profit with the unemotional discipline of a businessman?

Very few are really gambling for profit alone. Gamblers aren't wired that way. Those people aren't vegging out on a stool, in front of a slot machine for 6 hours straight every week because they have a great home life.

The key for avoiding tilt to me is attempting to live a full life. If gambling is your only focus and you're losing at that, then where does your self-worth come from? Gamblers, including myself, are generally insecure and immature people anyway so tilting can happen quickly. Gamblers and patience are fire & ice. They don't go well together.

Its such a selfish and narcissistic pursuit also. You have to avoid family or employers, etc. to find time to do it. It doesn't add anything to society or produce anything valuable. Now if you just bet $50 on a NBA finals game like people have a beer at night then you're just a recreational bettor and nothing wrong with that. But if you've dreamed of gambling for a living or you're addicted then you still need to live a fuller life. Build something for yourself that you don't want to lose! Otherwise gambling will control you.

True. It's better to split your energy 50% on gambling and 50% on real life goals. If a gambler puts 100% of the energy into gambling then lose a big bet. You will go on tilt because 100% of your energy was in it when you should be spreading your energy everywhere else in life.
