    Turn back the hands of time
    This gambling shhhit is a hell of a drug my friends. How many times a day do you wish you could just go back to the last time you had your last great run and your bankroll was sky high. I just lost my last 100 bucks literally to my name on the sorry ass pirates tonight and im sitting here wishing upon a star thatbi could go back to april when i turned 20 bucks into 24k and life was wonderful. But all thatbis blown. Got myself into more debt and once again staring at the ceiling thinking how the hell did i blow this shit. I could have paid all my debts and just enjoyed life. Got a gorgous wife and a great little boy should be just enjoying them but now i cant sleep at night trying to figure out a way to pay friends back.i know ur told when ur a gambler dont chase losses but hell thats all i got right now. I have to make a run somehow and i know thats gambler addict talk but what can i say im a frieken gambler.but damn dont we all just remember when we were rolling. I can damn near remember everygame from the last 10 years that won me big when i was rolling.its a hell of a way to live and this gambling is a hell of a drug.

        You need to realize that continuing to chase will just get you further into the shit. If you stopped now you would have extra money to pay people back. Keep on this path and you won't have a family anymore. Come back when you get your shit paid. Scared money is dead money, its only going to get worse if you don't take charge now. Good luck

            Thats great advice. I just hate telling people that i owe one thing and then make excuses time and again abouy not paying them. The problem is ive gotten myselft out of trouble time and again when i needed a big run but those times have been few and far between lately.ive got to get out of this mess and quit borrowing and when i do have a few bucks here and there heritage will get it.but ur spot on with ur advice

                  Well I got out of control myself in my mid 20s, lost my long time girl, 6 months before the wedding because gambling consumed me. Wish I would have saw it back then but sometimes you get so caught up in things that you can't. I am just glad I saw the light and quit gambling for almost 3 years, didn't even log on here for that time. After being out of the game, it sure has put some perspective on things. Don't make the same mistakes, you seem like a smart guy, take a hard look at the women laying next to you tonight and ask yourself if she is worth throwing away because you want a thrill on a NFL game because it sounds like you aren't far away from that if you don't take a break and make things right.

                    I appreciate that advice bud.im 38 man my dad was a gambler i went to bingo with my grandma when i was 8 and loved it and she still a gambler to this day.so this dumbass shit is in my blood,i need to take a break from it as well theres no doubt,but i appreaciate the advice i been reading this forum for years and just now got a account up and itdoes help to hear others that went thru the same things. I go to GA sometimes and those people dont relate to sports gamblers. Its different then listening to slot stories and lottery stories even though its all related i know but different with sports gamblers.

                      Good luck to you clutch, hope it all works out in the end but in this business we all know 99.9% of these stories don't end well without a realization. You will get a lot of smart ass comments on this forum, many from me, but the good thing about this place I have learned over the years is many good guys that care and rally around others when times are hard. That is what makes SBR so great.

                          The problem is the high you get when you go on a run. Makes you feel invincible and unstoppable and that is what you continue to chase....

                          Good luck!

                              You might have to post some pics of your wife before anyone can give you serious advice on whether you should quit gambling or keep with it

                                    Dude it's not too late. The fact you are sitting here reflecting on this sh*t means you know something is fuked up and needs fixing.

                                    Most addicted gamblers wouldn't even bother or admit it and certainly wouldn't take the time to put their true feelings down on a forum like this loaded with people just waiting to flame you. Nope they would just borrow more money, sell the car, get a 2nd mortgage, lose the wife family and then job and still think they are right.....

                                    Anyways you just need to take a serious break. The chasing should stop right now! Pay back your debts and then consider why you bet on sports in the first place. If you really like it try to become a recreational gambler but this may not be your personality....

                                      She is already in charge thats the problem because then i borrow. I need to get these people paid back then like you said bet for fun or when i have a few extra bucks then donate it to the books. But the borrowing has to end. The hell of it is my friends and family know i hsve a gambling prob and still loan me even when i stiffed them paying back on time time and again.im a people person and would do anything for anyone and thay kind of charm gets me alot of stuff and therefor gets me in trouble like im in now.fkin gambling man its something

                                        I appreciate the post and advice bro. I do need a break bad its just a bitch having yhis debt on your back man.my dad woukd tell me he would be in the hole with a bookie for some large amount of cash and he couldnt sleep and he woukd look over at my mom then go down the hall and look at his kids and think to himself what tge hell am i doing. He tells me that all the time and now its hitting me.i love this gambling shit but i need to control it,but damn it can bring you to your knees in a flash,you see that last game with your last dollar go down the drain like i seen with the sorry ass pirates tonight then reality hits ur ass and you dont have enough money to buy a pack of ramen noodles.i dont wish that feeling on my worst enemies.

                                              Since you're referring to Rounders, let me refer to it also. You do realize that Matt Damon's character quit poker after the first scene of the movie. It was only Worm that dragged him back into it about a year later, and he ended up losing his gf and sanity. Don't be your own worm, and stay away from other worms in life and you'll be fine. You need to be disciplined and take charge of your situation instead of pussying out and thinking you can gamble your way out of it.

                                                Sad to see you flat broke right before the football season. Man that sucks.

                                                  It can be done. I was 50 k in debt. Pay back your debts. Go SBR pro and only bet points and contests. Once you have paid back have your wife change the 5 dimes password and limit your bets. Call the book and have them disable casino, poker, live betting ect. Sounds crazy but that is what I did and it saved my life. I'm dead serious. Now I gamble just for fun. And if you follow this forum you will know I am one of the most addicted gamblers you will ever meet

                                                    All you need to do is fade Seaweed and you will be living large by the end of the year.

                                                    And I agree, we need to see pics of the gorgeous wife.

                                                      That's what I was thinking, tough time of year to throw in the towel with football upon us. Hope he gets his act together on account of the kid though. The only thing worse than owing your bookie is owing your ex alimony and child support.

                                                        Same shit. I've lost it all before. 6 year GF, been kicked out of house, burned many bridges with friends/family, evicted from apartments, drive a shitty old car that I've paid for 10 times over due to title loans, fukked up credit massively owing all kinds of loans and banks and cc's..before and after the bankruptcy I did when I was 21, owe 100k in school loans that I never finished because I'd go to the racetrack everyday instead of class, live paycheck to paycheck at a shitty job blowing most of it each week to hit a big parlay or win a big poker tournament or hit some superfecta or pick4 to try and climb out of the hole...i could go on and on.

                                                        So if all that sounds worse than the situation you're in, you're not bad off.

                                                          You already know what to do. No one here is going to change what you end up doing.

                                                          As much as I love SBR, and I made my own decisions. I wouldn't have blown so much money. My fault, but this place is built on losers, like Vegas.

                                                          Anyway, your choice. Go for the gold, and chase, or give it up.

                                                              Man, I feel you. I used to have sleepless nights and knots in my stomach wondering how I let myself get so out of control after going on ridiculous losing streaks, chasing losses, and digging myself into even deeper holes. As you said, it's amazing when you're dialed in, and you're pulling crazy amounts of cash and you're living like a king. But it's awful when you can't pick a winner to save your life, and it feels like you're freakin cursed and everything you touch is pretty much guaranteed to find a way to lose...no matter how improbable.

                                                              I think bad beats have taken years off of all our lives haha. I can't even describe how infuriating/deflating it is when you have a big $$$ bet on the line and you lose it at the very end on some bullshit call by the refs or dumbass clock management by the coaches, or some ridiculous turnover, or hail mary at the end that doesn't even affect the outcome of the game- but it fukks your spread. My heart can't take that shit. And needless to say, I am not a very pleasant person to be around when I lose. I've done some really stupid shit when I've lost in the past, like broken multiple laptops and kicked a hole through my wall ...so not only would I lose 1000s of dollars betting over a weekend, but I'd also cost myself even more money because I'm an emotional toddler who has no self control/anger management.

                                                              Obviously, the problem with me is that I just hate losing way too much. I could go 4-1 in a day but that 1 loss would hurt way more than the satisfaction I got from all those wins combined. It's all one big mind fukk and ego-trip. Constantly thinking about how much money you "should" have won each week and not being satisfied with anything less.

                                                              And I don't know about you, but I've never been able to bet big on a game and not watch it. And I never felt it was worth it to just bet 10-20 bucks on a game (other than when I first started betting). For me, it's pretty much always been go big or go home. Needless to say, when football season rolls around, my weekends left little time for anything other than sports betting. It's a lot easier to justify it when you're raking in nice amounts of dough and you can treat your girl like a queen, but when you have a losing weekend, your entire perspective changes. It's like dude...not only did my bank account take a beating, but I wasted my whole weekend away, my girl is pissed cause I was more focused on watching football instead of showing her a good time, and now I feel like complete dog shit and I hate everyone haha. In the end, the lows just aren't worth the highs...at least for me.

                                                              SBR has actually been instrumental in helping me curb my sports betting addiction because all I have to do is give $100 to charity each year or renew my pro membership for 3k points, and then I get to be a degenerate while putting safeguards on my bank account. And the best part is you're practically guaranteed to make money- unless you're like me and occasionally can't help but give all your points to the SBR Casino .

                                                              Don't get me wrong though, it's definitely a tough transition going from betting big $ to betting points in hopes of winning $25-$100 gift cards, but I have comfort in knowing that I will never put myself or my family in a bad situation as a result of sports betting. Anyway, I've already written a damn novel here so I'm just gonna leave you with a few questions that I think would be helpful for you to reflect on...at least they were helpful for me in gaining insights with my gambling.

                                                              1) Why do you bet? Is it for leisure. Is it because you want to make some nice side income? Or are you trying to make big time money to where you don't have to work anymore? Of course it can be a combo of these things so I guess here is a different way of putting it.
                                                              2) What is your end goal with betting...is there ever a certain amount of money you could attain that would be enough for you not to bet anymore?
                                                              3) Do you know anyone who is consistently making money betting on sports (weekly, monthly, annually)?
                                                              Just think about these and see what your true motivation is for betting and how realistic you think it is that you can make consistent $$ doing this stuff over the long haul.

                                                              Now for some bad advice...but perhaps inspirational given your situation. Even with everything I've said here, sometimes your only shot at getting out of a hole is to bet and try and go on a streak. I can recall several instances where I was barely hanging on by a thread, and it seemed like all hope was lost, but I somehow pulled some miraculous comebacks out of my ass to get out of some pretty dire situations. The most ridiculous comeback I ever made happened a few years back when I was hooked up with a bookie who gave me a 5k weekly limit. I remember being down 4900 after Thursday Night Football and just figured I was fukked, but then I went on a streak for the ages over the weekend. I pretty much just pounded and doubled down on 2nd half bets all day Sat/Sun and won every one of them- which resulted in me turning my last 100 available into 5k so I ended up breaking even for the week. I've never been so happy to win nothing my entire life haha. I was just ridiculously lucky though- never had anything like that happen before.
                                                              Most of my big comebacks prior to that involved being down 3-4k and still having 1-2k to work with in order to turn it around. It's a lot different when you play on credit vs. normal sportsbooks where you gotta deposit first. Obviously you can't put money on something that will take food from your kid's mouth and if you owe friends or family, then work it off and pay them back first. It all depends on your situation. But yeah, usually the best option is to cut your losses and walk away. Discipline in this game has never been one of my strong suits.

                                                              Sorry for making this such a long response...I think I'll be taking a short vacation from SBR after this post haha. Your situation just brought back a lot of memories of all the craziness, stress, and mind fukkery that used to be a normal part of my daily life. I truly hope you find a way out of this hole though so you can focus on what's most important: enjoying that beautiful wife and baby boy of yours as much as possible. Good luck bud!

I used to have sleepless nights and knots in my stomach wondering how I let myself get so out of control after going on ridiculous losing streaks, chasing losses, and digging myself into even deeper holes. As you said, it's amazing when you're dialed in, and you're pulling crazy amounts of cash and you're living like a king. But it's awful when you can't pick a winner to save your life, and it feels like you're freakin cursed and everything you touch is pretty much guaranteed to find a way to lose...no matter how improbable.

                                                                    I think bad beats have taken years off of all our lives haha. I can't even describe how infuriating/deflating it is when you have a big $$$ bet on the line and you lose it at the very end on some bullshit call by the refs or dumbass clock management by the coaches, or some ridiculous turnover, or hail mary at the end that doesn't even affect the outcome of the game- but it fukks your spread. My heart can't take that shit. And needless to say, I am not a very pleasant person to be around when I lose. I've done some really stupid shit when I've lost in the past, like broken multiple laptops and kicked a hole through my wall ...so not only would I lose 1000s of dollars betting over a weekend, but I'd also cost myself even more money because I'm an emotional toddler who has no self control/anger management.

                                                                    Obviously, the problem with me is that I just hate losing way too much. I could go 4-1 in a day but that 1 loss would hurt way more than the satisfaction I got from all those wins combined. It's all one big mind fukk and ego-trip. Constantly thinking about how much money you "should" have won each week and not being satisfied with anything less.

                                                                    And I don't know about you, but I've never been able to bet big on a game and not watch it. And I never felt it was worth it to just bet 10-20 bucks on a game (other than when I first started betting). For me, it's pretty much always been go big or go home. Needless to say, when football season rolls around, my weekends left little time for anything other than sports betting. It's a lot easier to justify it when you're raking in nice amounts of dough and you can treat your girl like a queen, but when you have a losing weekend, your entire perspective changes. It's like dude...not only did my bank account take a beating, but I wasted my whole weekend away, my girl is pissed cause I was more focused on watching football instead of showing her a good time, and now I feel like complete dog shit and I hate everyone haha. In the end, the lows just aren't worth the highs...at least for me.

                                                                    SBR has actually been instrumental in helping me curb my sports betting addiction because all I have to do is give $100 to charity each year or renew my pro membership for 3k points, and then I get to be a degenerate while putting safeguards on my bank account. And the best part is you're practically guaranteed to make money- unless you're like me and occasionally can't help but give all your points to the SBR Casino .

                                                                    Don't get me wrong though, it's definitely a tough transition going from betting big $ to betting points in hopes of winning $25-$100 gift cards, but I have comfort in knowing that I will never put myself or my family in a bad situation as a result of sports betting. Anyway, I've already written a damn novel here so I'm just gonna leave you with a few questions that I think would be helpful for you to reflect on...at least they were helpful for me in gaining insights with my gambling.

                                                                    1) Why do you bet? Is it for leisure. Is it because you want to make some nice side income? Or are you trying to make big time money to where you don't have to work anymore? Of course it can be a combo of these things so I guess here is a different way of putting it.
                                                                    2) What is your end goal with betting...is there ever a certain amount of money you could attain that would be enough for you not to bet anymore?
                                                                    3) Do you know anyone who is consistently making money betting on sports (weekly, monthly, annually)?
                                                                    Just think about these and see what your true motivation is for betting and how realistic you think it is that you can make consistent $$ doing this stuff over the long haul.

                                                                    Now for some bad advice...but perhaps inspirational given your situation. Even with everything I've said here, sometimes your only shot at getting out of a hole is to bet and try and go on a streak. I can recall several instances where I was barely hanging on by a thread, and it seemed like all hope was lost, but I somehow pulled some miraculous comebacks out of my ass to get out of some pretty dire situations. The most ridiculous comeback I ever made happened a few years back when I was hooked up with a bookie who gave me a 5k weekly limit. I remember being down 4900 after Thursday Night Football and just figured I was fukked, but then I went on a streak for the ages over the weekend. I pretty much just pounded and doubled down on 2nd half bets all day Sat/Sun and won every one of them- which resulted in me turning my last 100 available into 5k so I ended up breaking even for the week. I've never been so happy to win nothing my entire life haha. I was just ridiculously lucky though- never had anything like that happen before.
                                                                    Most of my big comebacks prior to that involved being down 3-4k and still having 1-2k to work with in order to turn it around. It's a lot different when you play on credit vs. normal sportsbooks where you gotta deposit first. Obviously you can't put money on something that will take food from your kid's mouth and if you owe friends or family, then work it off and pay them back first. It all depends on your situation. But yeah, usually the best option is to cut your losses and walk away. Discipline in this game has never been one of my strong suits.

                                                                    Sorry for making this such a long response...I think I'll be taking a short vacation from SBR after this post haha. Your situation just brought back a lot of memories of all the craziness, stress, and mind fukkery that used to be a normal part of my daily life. I truly hope you find a way out of this hole though so you can focus on what's most important: enjoying that beautiful wife and baby boy of yours as much as possible. Good luck bud!
