    Never been down over $1k gambling since I started around 2010

    NEVER

    I would stop. WTF? I find no purpose in it if losing. Losing aint fun.

    Up in poker several thousand... up in sports 3k or 4k.

    Even up in blackjack, a few hundred.

    many people think they are up

    It is classic gambling denial

    Say a guy tells me he is up $5000 lifetime I then ask do you have every record of your bets??

    He says no.."I JUST KNOW"

    Then I know probably down $15,000

    Since I had started sports betting in 2010, I have lost about $10k which I consider it as an investment for learning experience. From now on, I expect nothing but profit.

    When I was young and a degen I threw away way more than that. Before taking a 15+ year total break from it.

    But since I started sports gambling again about 9 years ago, I am still ahead for that period. Not by much though. (thats if I ignore poker)

    Think back to that line from "Shawshank Redemption:"

    The amount of money that I have lost is greatly weighted to the early years of learning.....prob loss about 100k,the the 1st 15 years.

    A lot of it is entertainment factor so makes it relative as long as the money is not overwhelming

    In this one, Andy and his fellow gamblers are 20 points behind on a play and it's already halftime:

    There is no reason everyone should not be at least close to breaking even if they flat bet 1% or 2% of their bank and have five or more funded books to line shop. Boring but true.

    Lol maybe 2 percent and that’s generous here up lifetime in all forms of gambling...hilarious is you were never down and always winning you would have a hard time finding action..instead guys here offered huge limits and bonus free plays not winning gambling...I’m down probably a fuk load but we don’t talk about our losses...speaking of this shit sbr fukin the pooch as I paid for my pro status and donated to angelman 4 days ago and forward my receipt...step it up.

    Btw off topic just got back from a family road trip from Seattle to Disneyland and San Diego...drove...and all I have to say is California is a world class shit hole disgusting nasty place I won’t be going back gross...Seattle is not much better but at least our suburbs are decent California is like one giant 3rd world dirty toilet won’t be going back...

    SBR bet points are a tuition free college of gambling...........

    Once you consistently build a point bankroll,you are ready to use real money.........

    This is a goldmine for newbies............

    All of you who lost tons of money.Imagine to yourselves finding the SBR betpoints book before you started betting real money..........

    You would of never lost thousands upon thousands of dollars.......

    Any newbie reading this post should immediately start using the betpoints book
    instead OF YOUR HARD EARNED CASH............
