    OK Guys

    ....guys no long, blown out thread this time. I took out a decent little withdraw the other day, and left a little to play with. Well I had a few more bad beats the past few days. The first was the only NBA game I bet on Wednesday, I had Charlotte 12.5. They are down 10, and Harden hits a meaningless 3 with about 5 seconds left. Tonight, it finalized in Cincinnati/Miami over 42.5, and we all know how that ended. Seriously!! No stupid comments guys, I'm not asking for it. I'm a normal person, who is well educated, have a beautiful wife...have everything in line, but this gambling has ruined me.....I cant quite explain it. I don't want to do it, but there is something in my head that won't let me stay away. I want anyone who can seriously help me out to PM me. I should not be on these boards, but I have nobody to confine in. Again, please no sh!tty comments tonight boys.

    Just so emotionally unstable, its not even funny. I know I won't sleep a wink tonight......Im not even gonna try. I just don't know how to get this bookie off my back, and I have nothing to give him and no way of getting anything to give him. I understand I put myself in this situation, and he should rightfully be on me. I'm in a miserable situation, and its the only thing on my mind pretty much 24-7 since like April. I want to tell my wife so bad......but I'm chickensh!t because I know I'm out of free passes. Have you of you ever had to deal with anything like this? So much has just built up inside of me, that I physically can't handle it anymore.

    Why would you have a bookie on your back if you just made a withdrawal?

    This.

    Regul8er, she is your wife and she will understand, pal.

    You should realize though that after telling her about all this you'll realistically never be able to bet on a game again, which is probably for the best.

    Unless you are Billy Walters, gambling is a long-term losing proposition.

    This thread may as well be your last posts here and I wish you good luck in the future, pal.

    fix yer shit.... everyone else only pretends to care.......

    "How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortunes of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it. Of this kind is pity or compassion, the emotion we feel for the misery of others, when we either see it, or are made to conceive it in a very lively manner. That we often derive sorrow from the sorrows of others, is a matter of fact too obvious to require any instances to prove it; for this sentiment, like all the other original passions of human nature, is by no means confined to the virtuous or the humane, though they perhaps may feel it with the most exquisite sensibility. The greatest ruffian, the most hardened violator of the laws of society, is not altogether without it."

    He re-upped online when he already owed someone 10k?

    Is that your assumption anyway?

    Regul8r, you need help pal. Read what Boeing wrote in the third post about a hundred times, and then do it. Throw yourself at your wife's mercy, beg for help, and have SBR delete your account here.

    Best of luck.

    Best of luck OP. You really need to go Cold Turkey. Sounds as if you are wagering more than discretionary income. Most who play lose long term so you are in the norm.

    C'mon Regul8er pal, saw you started a thread and was hoping for something more optimistic than the usual, guess not.

    You're obviously a smart guy with a good life, just stop gambling dude.

    Like others said, the good majority of us are never going to win, and once you realize that its for the better. Save up $200, and instead of depositing it somewhere, go pro here and you have basically a never ending supply of points to bet with. You can win big yet in reality lose nothing at all if things go bad.

    Just be an honest guy (like you usually are) and someone will always lend you the 3k points to go pro again. Never ending free-bets.

    Just gamble a normal amount....and don't use a bookie because obviously you don't deserve the privilege of credit

    in the meantime work out a payment plan with the bookie

    whats done is done, move on

    I think it's the only thing keeping him together.

    I'd hate to think of where he'd be without his home life in all of this. Without any reason for restraint or sense of perspective re: his finances, he'd probably go on tilt, lose it at and jump off a bridge. I've tried telling him to adopt the philosophy of "lucky in love, not in cards" and just accept the gambling shortcomings as a trade-off for a happy home life, but he seems self-destructive and I'd say it's only a matter of time before things get a lot worse on the homefront unfortunately.

    My best friend from high school was just like you bro. Ended up taking out ************ in his in laws name and forging checks. Wife divorced him. Ran himself into a telephone pole on a two lane highway one night.

    Don't worry guys....I may be a ticking time bomb, but forging checks and sh!t like that, ya I guarantee it doesn't come to that.
    I'm not suicidal or anything like that either. This stuff is just on my mind the second I wake up and the last thing on my mind when I fall asleep.

    I know it shouldn't be a top 50 priority in my life.......should me thinking about God, my wife, my job, school....everything but gambling. Sometimes I wish I was a drug addict or alcoholic opposed to this mind controlling habit.
