    I just know that I am only 22 years old and gambling is just something that is holding me back in my life. I've already got enough problems with other issues in my life.

    When I am gambling and I win it does not do too much for me because money can't buy happiness and peace of mind, and when I lose I feel like shit and go on tilt.

    So at least for a while I am done.

    I will give away my points to the first person that guesses my name.

    gambling prevents many from achieving more important and fulfilling things in life

    piss on the wasted time and money trying to beat it every week

    Just another guy with no discipline. Sorry you went full tilt. Shouldn't bet money that you care about losing.

    Diversify:

    Don't bet one sport and don't bet only favs or dogs or overs or unders. When you don't have the points you need to do ML plays, teasers or parlays.

    I bet 40% football today, 30% soccer, 20% basketball, 10% hockey. I hit a few games of each sport as well as a few teasers and parlays.

    When you do this every week the probability of getting a tough break or a lucky win increases. Also the probability of hitting many fixed games is diminished significantly.
