I'm be the smart one...

[Regul8er]

....and get the fu(k out of this game while I can. It's disgusting the sick beats I've been taking as of late, just sick. I know some of you have had bad ones, but trust me, mine have been horrendous. I have small favourites in college hoops who build big 20-25 point leads, and before you know it, they evaporate.

I'm up about $600 the past month (even with these sick beats, should be up like $1,500)

I'm calling 5Dimes first thing in the morning, and withdrawing everything I have, and enjoy it with my family over the Holiday season. This gambling sh!t is going to make me miserable, I find myself sweating every game out, and it's just not healthy.

I'm glad I have the self-control to get out of this garbage before its too late. In the long term, your not supposed to win in this game, or else sportsbooks would not be open for business. If I don't get out now, I will chase, and have no account by Wednesday. I'm really upset the way things have gone down for me the past few days, but I think its a blessing in disguise.

I will still be around here, playing around with my points and chiming in. But for the gambling aspect, its just not for me. I've been a recreational, and tried to take it a little more serious, but I sense detriment to my health and marriage. I wish everyone the best of luck.

Bad beats are part of gambling...you'll get your good wins.

"I'm be the smart one" says it all

[Masu485]

college b-ball will drive u insane. there are tons of 1pt games all day and no lead is big enough.

[Shortstop]

Smart choice Rambis!

[tblues2005]

Enjoy your holidays and take a break. I usually take a break in the spring and summer. I think everyone needs to do this from time to time.

[Nickelicious]

You will be back. It is now in your blood. There is no escape. Resign yourself.

And do a better job of picking winners.

[20Four7]

Dude relax and enjoy the holidays.... I understand where you are cuz I"m there..... but if you don't roll with the punches out your out.

[G's pks]

How about a little self control? Maybe it would be more of a challenge to leave money in and bet once a week. Maybe avoid the sports like college ball that are easier to fix because if you don't pay they try to rob 7-11's. Obviously more than a few college kids throw games. Remember where there is money, this is the obvious. We even have refs coming out now a days admitting the fix is often in. But then we still have people say no...it cannot be!

Maybe set a challenge for yourself, bet small and bet say...2-3 games a week. At least that way you have some interest.

[Regul8er]

You can tell I posted this at 2:30 in the morning, hahah "I'm be the smart one"

Well I had $1,200 in my account this morning, and I have requested a payout of $1,000. I have kept $200 in my account for fun, but will not look for any plays the next couple days. Thanks for the advice guys. Self control is tough to capture, when you see the board you want to bet anything and everything that appeals. It always seems that when you take the passive approach, everyone you liked comes through, haha! I'll see yall around.

[jellobiafra]

Regul8er if you get like this when you are UP $600 the past month, then yeah... maybe you should take a break. A lot of guys here would kill to have your "problems".

[lakerboy]

Reguler change your avatar man. You will end up like Rambis and the Twolves.

[twister]

no one likes a quitter just take a break.....

Draggin' him back into the game...

[lyon804]

Reg, I understand. It's good to recharge. I think you need a couple days off. What happened yesterday that was so bad? You told me you liked Northern Iowa to win S/U. You were right on with your analysis. I think you must have started to bet too much of your bankroll on these games. I respect your opinion to get out.

[onthewhat]

Use your money to buy tickets to the UK/UNC game

Use $200 in 5dimes and bet UK ML on the game

[xxdjstriderxx]

See you tommorow

[Al Masters]

your up $600 this month plus a pizza, ive heard much worse gambling stories.

Id hate to see the post where he is stuck big money,may be a suicide post.

BOL with your decision.

[007Fatty]

Enjoy the holidays man!

[TheLock]

What will your standard wager be with your $200 bankroll?

[G's pks]

what does that pay $10? Also Rider went in as a 15.5 fav and was losing at halftime today! Sure they probably end up winning..but who knows! Covering will be another issue.. so is it worth it? Maybe I will bet some sbr points on Ken though..

[Regul8er]

Well I was betting around 6% of my bankroll before I withdrew. I never upped my units over the course of a few weeks, kept it consistent....so my chase method was bet more games.

The reason I wanted to cash is that I've done it many times where I get hot, then when I get cold, I start chasing and lose it all. I felt the urge, so I decided to counteract by making the call for a withdraw. I will probably bet $50 a game now, and if I lose 4 straight, then so be it. The purpose of the last $200 is one last shot to turn the ship. If it doesn't work out, then it's all good. I will be back eventually, probably wait till bowl season, so maybe a month break.

[onthewhat]

UK/UNC will be close to a pick em.

[G's pks]

UK/UNC will be close to a pick em.

i thought you meant the game by your avatar...any chance uk loses that one?

[onthewhat]

Kentucky will win today and cover

[Regul8er]

I'm going to make one pick here today win or lose, and that is it.

COLORADO (+3.5, -105) Risking $52.50 to Win $50.00

Arizona tips off only 13 hours after playing in a physical matchup with Wisconsin. Arizona exerted a lot of energy coming back from a large deficit, and then crumbled in the last minute or two. Not much time to recover after a physically and mentally draining game, and will be especially tough for a younger team. Gimmie the points with the Buffs.

[jayc88]

truth is we only do remember our bad beats,

[Regul8er]

Arizona grabs the quick 13-5 lead. I'm actually refreshed that my team has fallen behind, becuase the the teams Ive been on lately have built HUGE first half leads, only to squander them.

[ZBOIZ]

just tail me

[Regul8er]

The officiating has been horrendous in Maui......these refs call every little ticky tack they can find. Arizona may be leading the nation in fouls per game after this tourny.

[Regul8er]

Colorado drains a three to go ahead by 3 with about 2:30 left....BAM BAM BAM....3 straight 3-bombs by Arizona in a minute puts them up by 6. Good Thing I cashed out 85% of the bankroll earlier, or I would be firing off a HUGE bet tonight.

[Regul8er]

Nice comeback by Colorado....from down 8 to now only down 2 with 20 second to go. Cmon guys get me on track!
