How do you QUIT gambling?
I’m tired of the ups and downs. Not even worth it to me. Lost a lot and can never recoup. Even when I win I don’t enjoy it as it’s just winning back a small portion. I need to find a hobby but I have nothing to do or no one to do it with. Seriously never been so depressed before like this...
You run out of money
Only way
how much you lose during the bad run
You don't
At least it isn't heroin
You aren't on heroin too are you? That would be bad
When it’s the majority source of my income you can’t. You just keep grinding & figure out ways to capitalize on your style that works.
As Yogi Berra once said "The only way to start is to start". In your case quit. Take up golf. Very challenging. You'll spend as much on clubs as one bet but you get to keep them and not give them back. Golf balls a different story. Go to church, also, that will take care of the depression.Originally Posted by TonyPhizzle
Hmm I feel ya. I'm pretty sure we all got depressed before. I would bet bigger and get on that hot streak. After that streak, bring down the amount of game you bet per day/week and work from there. Hope it gets better for you bud.
You should look into crypto as your next hobby. No ups and downs there
In all seriousness, you've at least acknowledged you're sick of it, which is the first step.
Never quit.
Keep re-loading.
It’s what we do.
Hang in there buddy. Its a hard habit to kick and this can bring u too ur knees. Go to some GA meetings, if you go to church go talk to your pastor. I know what ur goong thru and dont wish it on my worst enemy.but if u dont get it under control it will just get worse and worse. Some states too have free gambling councling so check that out.good luck bud! Hang in there remember if you have your health and your family has there health everything else can be takin care of especially financially!!
See you tomorrow
The late Nick the Greek aka Nick Dandolos once said. The next best thing to gambling & winning is gambling & losing. Tony you’re not one of us. A true degenerate who seeks out wagering for life’s purpose. Go home Tony & be normal.
You get drunk first. Then you log in to your offshore account and change your password. Then you log out. When you get sober you will not remember your password. Then you quit gambling.
I've quit all the vices but sports gambling. Hardest one to quit
Spirituality is the way to go for any addiction. Go to temple/church, work/love with nature, appreciate the every minute you have.
dont listen to most of the posters here
Just go pro and use betpoints for your action fix.Only costs you a small donation compared to real money.If you win then you get to eat subway and pizza for free or buy cool electronics
.Enter sbr contests for more action.This is seriously what I have done to cut WAY down on real money reloading.Havent made a bet in two months with real money.
Or you could just call GA

Naahhh. Don't quit. Just use bankroll management. If you have a 2k sports wager bankroll. You can bet $20 bux. Maybe $100 on a real good game. This will prevent crushing losses. Yes it slows down the win side. but the better way to win is gave a bigger bankroll. i.e a 10k bankroll allows a $100- $200 wager. Do not martingale or chase as you will eventually lose your roll. Do not borrow from your sports bankroll to bet in the casino. In fact unless you have your own separate casino bankroll do not even go there. If you also play poker online play only at books that allow you to disengage their casino. This way in a bad beat day you don't go into the online blackjack tables chasing the bad beat, where you lose your poker roll. Online poker (nl cash) you need a bankroll about 25x your buyin. So if you are playing .10 cent/.25 cent that's a $600 bankroll. So you have 2 separate bankrolls one for sports one for poker. These never intermingle.

dont start would be my best guess
Decent advice
becoming a sbr pro is never a bad idea
You can wean yourself off of gambling by joining BetOnline.ag
That way when they suffer a DDOS attack and the site is on the fritz, you'll have no choice but to watch the parade go by.
There is no quitting.
Who do you like for opening day MLB tomorrow?
Try setting daily masturbating records.

Swallow your pride and enter into the GA program.. Begin the 12 step program..
Have a friend that was a compulsive gambler and the worst of the worst. My college roommate.. We'd go to Vegas and he'd get tunnel vision and tune out in the sportsbooks.. I remember.. Ended up Living on a little boat to save rent money because he owed so much, he almost lost his wife also..
Completely broke and in debt and at the end of his rope.. Funny thing is he wasn't a bad gambler, just had no discipline.. Double up and double up then lose everything thinking he couldn't lose...
He checked into GA got saved and today he's got a big business, 3 kids and a huge house in Malibu, probably brings in 30 grand a month now....
True story.. Some people have no discipline and need GA.. That's what it's there for.. Call and go in humble... Will change your life around...
Gambling Quits You
Giant, whats your all time high score?
The only way I know that works is pills medication but it makes you very very tired and you got to go once a month to get it
Join a gym. Work out everyday. It's a hobby that you don't need anyone else to do it with.
Learn a foreign language. You have a smart phone? Download the app "DuoLingo". It's free. That will stimulate your mind.
Try some DIY home projects.
Read the entire Bible word for word.
I still gamble, but I find time to do all these other things that I mentioned. You gotta be balanced. You can't spend all your time playing online poker, or sports wagering, etc etc. If you have kids, spend time with your kids. If you are single, go on a date. If you are married, spend time with your wife. If you can't find anyone to date, then get on POF, Tinder, Match and look at profiles/pictures.
If all you do is spend your free time thinking about gambling, then your life is gonna suck, especially if you've lost a lot. It'll just reinforce all your past losses. Everyone makes bad investments. The key to making a good investment is knowing when to stop a bad one. If gambling is that for you, then just give it up. Open a TD Ameritrade account, put your money into some no load Mutual Funds, and get your fix from watching the market.

Piss poor advice JJ.... hope I see you in Vegas pal

JJ, just post your list of ways to stay in the game for the kid.
I'm assuming OP doesn't have a forgetful uncle with a sock full of money in the attic.
Bet SBR Bet points instead of real money... You still got action and can look at it that way.. You do need to go PRO though so if you do win a bunch of bet points you can actually get something real in the SBR store or with bitcoin when cashing out.. You'll get reloaded every day with 12 free bet points.. Pretend every bet point is one dollar.. Use your imagination...
Just an idea to curb the cravings for you frigg'n junkies......
