    only degenerates think this way, not winners.



    wait, what? here's a thread about how losing the last $10K to your name at age 28 has literally destroyed you. need to get a 2nd job, donate blood, or wank for bank.. that's the sound of broken man.



    more like the thrill of losing. you get a high from losing because it's such a familiar feeling.. you're addicted to it get help.


    LMAO. Dude GTF.


    Get a sharp knife and run into it.

    you will never win in pro. sports cuz the odds is against you. gun on my head the best odd to win gambling is go to a casino and play Baccarat. Table game only not the mini one.. the one you can touch the cards...that's the only game you had the closest edge against the house...period 45-55... The closest edge that i got in 40 yrs of my gambling experience was betting Obama to win on his 2nd term...that's almost a sure win.. Hands down... no sweat..

    RiverBoatGambler,

    I've been in your position, and feel like you're doing the wrong thing.
    You said you're 28 years old, you "invested" well let's rephrase it - you threw away $10,000 ... just don't go there anymore.

    I'm one year older than you, there is almost no difference in our ages, but there is a huge difference in the position you could be taking, and I'm referring you to please read another thread of mine here:

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/foru...-its-myth.html

    Please read it, educate yourself about what gambling can cause you in the long term.
    I got bad grades in University, lost money, had to pay loans and been in really bad situation when I was gambling ... I've been gambling free for 45 days if I wouldn't count the last relapse I had in June, but it feels like I'm getting stronger with the power of will to avoid gambling, and it feels great.

    Trust me, you could have invested your $10,000 in other financial products ... are you aware that in North Manhattan there are some new developments being sold for only $240,000 .... in Washington Heights you could buy 1 bedroom and rent it easily for $1,500 per month ... that's solid income ... and you would require around $75,000 of cash ... the rest of your mortgage will be easily paid off with the rent ... That's a smart investment.

    Dealing with gambling is bad for you ... you would never win, never ... Las Vegas and all the other existing bookmakers are there to make money OVER you ... you will never defeat the bookies, and you would never make money from gambling in the long term ... that's a sad reality ...

    Take the rest of the money you have, try to save and invest it in real estate in New York, in other financial products if you wish ... in real estate elsewhere ... OR IN YOURSELF !!

    Just forget about gambling ... you would never make money out of gambling.
    Get out as soon as you can and just drop this habit!

    It could be very likely but if I was him I would be glad I'm only $2k down and just stop betting for good.

    gambling is great as long as you know your not going to win and basically set aside a certain amount each year to lose as a hobby

    Yes, you could put it this way but many people don't have the same perspective ... which is why they don't control their expenses, spend more than they planned or ever planned or thought they would.

    So effectively it's a bad business, as it harms lots of people ... but for people like you it could be a habit, a costly one, but still a habit .. for many others it's not the same.

    By the way I saw your betting slips a few months ago when you posted them in my thread talking about this subject ... you were betting $200 per game ... that's a VERY costly one if you would ask me.

    Appreciate the advice don'tknow. That's good stuff.

    Only thing is man, when you die, you ain't taking this money with you. You only live once so if something makes you happy, do it.


    Everyone has a vice........everyone. I'd much rather have one that MIGHT make me money than be addicted to drugs or alcohol or strippers..........something that you will never see that money again. With gambling I at least have a chance.....that's the most you can ask for with things now a days.

    What is the chance you're having exactly?
    True or True?
    False or False?
    Gambling = Losing = Fact.

    There is no chance.

    Gambling would take you away from your family, especially with the kind of story you've been telling here, that you lost $10k.
    Have you heard of Graham Calvert? In 2008 he lost over 2 million British Pounds, he had a big house, nice family, but he lost his wife and children, and eventually went on to do drugs because he couldn't bear the pain he had to deal with.

    Yes, you live only once, that's so true.
    So why not take advantage of it?
    Gambling is NOT an advantage ... it's a sick way to keep you inside a very vicious cycle.
    The longer this cycle goes on the more you waste your life.

    If you live only once don't you want to at least get some happiness in life? And by being happy I'm not referring to having millions ... I'm referring to being in a different state of mind ... whether you get married, or sleep with 1000 of women, invest in real estate, stocks or whatever it's up to you ... but you said it yourself, you said in your posts here the following:

Man I felt untouchable that night
    You said you're not sure what to do, you're doing it for the rush, you said you're not even sure how much you spent in gambling in your lifetime (my guess it's not a positive figure).

    Whilst we all agree it's an addiction, in your case losing $10,000 in such a young age is just not normal.
    You have to realize this addiction is very costly to you.
