    Trust me pal, if I could I'd be at ********** phone right now. I literally have $0 extra with bills and everything else. It sucks cause I'm an NFL fan and I won't even watch the games now without any action

I may be able to get a part time job on top of my full time in may or so, and may then have a few extra bucks to deposit and try again
    It's because you are gambling in desperation. You know that you can't afford to lose that money, so you are not thinking clearly when you make large bets. The old saying that scared money can't make money is true. When the chips are stacked up in front of us, and we have a strong financial foundation, we can win a lot of money. Once desperation sets in, the chips will likely run away quicker than they ever ran towards us. It is the nature of the beast, and most of us have been exactly where you are right now. The only way to win is to quit gambling until you're not scared or can afford to lose, because the fear of losing will lead to a lot of losing. That is why when gamblers go on tilt and chase, we almost always lose. In that state of mind we have a losers mentality, so we inevitably lose.

    Reg, I know the feeling and the sick thing is these kind of freakish streak of events never occur in favor of the player or at least not as frequently as they bury us. Everything is against us but we keep on coming back for more.

    For the sake of your marriage and your health walk away from this and don't bet again until you have the disposable income to do so..
