Anybody else here in the hole or have quit gambling?

[Smoke]

Man, i used to be ahead in the game, have stacks of 100's and boom before i knew it, it was all gone. I used to gamble everyday about at least 5 games a day, everyday. Now I'm down to a couple days a week and thats if i happen to win. I've now been forced to cash advance my credit cards at high interest rates just to stay in the game. I keep getting beat at the last second. I had the fukn patriots moneyline on sunday night and I got fukn screwed. I don't care what anybody says but that was clearly a 1st down when the pats went for it on 4th and 2. I don't agree with going for it on 4th I would've punted but regardless i got screwed by these fukn officials. I've been losing a lot when i have the lead near the end of the game. It happened the weekend before last too with the stupid lions throwin a pick6 right near the end to kill my bet. It's just been horrible and if i continue on this pace i'm done with gambling for good. I'm at least tellin the truth unlike some people on here.

So my question is, is anybody goin threw these same problems? Tell me your stories. I'm near the edge of insanity here

I'd just put down the gambling all together if I was you. It's a tough and brutal game at times. I would rather see you invest your money in some nice big titties like the chick in your avatar. It would create better memories going forward and even if you perform badly with her it's still a good time.Whatever, you decide to do you must keep it in perspective. We all get fuked time to time and also get lucky other times. Last nite I had Portland +3.5 and the under of 189 1/2 and I lost both in overtime while winning for all 48 fuking minutes. I also took the under of 73 in 2nd half in Ucla/CS Fullerton it took two overtimes, but I pushed didn't lose. I should have won. Sunday night I had the under of 50.5 in East Carolina/Tulsa. I was winning again until late like 2.09 seconds left in the game and douchebag for Tulas throws a pick fuking 6 to take my over out. It was also his second of the half. So yea, I feel your pain.

Let me give you sme advice.... If you don't invest in the big titty ladies in your avatar and you keep gambling. Rule#1 Back down your bets. I mean really back down your bets. These loses are killing you mentally more because you have too much money riding on them. I know because I have been there and done that. When you have a small percentage of your bankroll on these games it's really just a bad joke when these motherphuckers blow you up. It's not nearly as exciting, but you must build a bankroll slowly and carefully.

Banroll management is more important than any decision you will make on picking a game.

Probably, not the advice you wanted to here. It is however accurate and I will stand by it 100%.
Believe, me I have been were you are. It sucks getting tough loses,especially when such a high percentage of your money is tied to it.

Also, one other thing. If you are currently cleaned out in your account I would suggest holding off on reupping. Clear your head and save some money putting back a week at a time.

Deposit $1,000 Make $10 bets if you like the play
Make $20 bets if it's a really strong play
Make $30 bets if it's the LOCK OF THE CENTURY GAME or whateve. Strong Play

This is not nearly as exciting, but you will have much more success with this.Also don't chase loses or a losing streak.

Don't worry about it buddy, everyone hits streaks. Just don't go losing your head playing 100% of your BR every play to catch up. Install for yourself one weekly "best bet" that is larger than your normal plays. If you're able to hit these, your small misses won't hurt your BR so much. Wait for the perfect moment, then strike.

Nothing wrong with taking a Month off , even two. It is good for your mental health

I'm down more than 50% this year. I won't go bust anytime soon though, cause I adjust my bet sizes to fit my bankroll.

I usually take off during the baseball season and build up for the football season in the summer.

i went on tilt mid baseball season, some posters recognized me and emailed me what they were seeing. I decided to take the whole week off, took the family to Mackinak Island. Turned off my iphone so i wouldnt check scores, or even post here on SBR. Did me alot of good, got refocused and hit the books hard.

[blueghost]

stay cool ..take a week or so off ,,reduce bets..try to make it fun again ..try to find your best sport and stick with it..it can be done..everybody goes through this,,good luck

No shame in walking away from the game. It's not for everyone and an addiction for most involved. Being smart enough to walk away could be the best decision you'll ever make.

I know this wasn't a witty post but losing and getting into dept isn't a funny issue unless your JJ. People will tell you to take a break and come back at it stronger than before but the best advice is if you can be smart enough to take that break then be smart enough to stay away.

No shame in your game! Get out if you cannot win... we had a guy here used the name machine choice...went all in 3 times this year lost them all...took out a high interest loan and lost all of that too! get out if you cannot win...

Hard to quit altogether, Lyon made a great post in this thread and I would follow that. Many here have list houses , cars and families si we are in this together. I had to Lose over 400,000 in my lifetime and still think I can win.

Be sure to watch my vids as I have messages in them and watch for an upcoming video about what you will do to pay off bookies.

God Bless You

why not step away and just bet your sbr points for a while? if you lose, at least you didnt lose any money and if you start winning, turn em in for free plays and pizzas and such which is as good as money
