    I can honestly feel your pain because I am also a casino junkie. But in the last two months I have given up the online casinos, signed on with a local, and am sticking to sports betting.
    1. The stress relief is penetrating amazing.
    2. I am actually profiting. I'm up $600 this week.
    3. Actually get a damn payout rather than blow it all online in casino.

    Ban yourself from every damn casino. Youre doing exactly what I did before "well I've banned myself from site A and B but I may try site C for betting soon." You know whT you'll do, you'll try your luck in casino on site C and get whooped.

    Yeah, I was starting to question the numbers. Not that they were wrong, but what are we NOT seeing here?

    Either way, still not a smart approach. The smart approach is usually a lot more boring than thrill-jockeys want to deal with. I wish you the best here cap, but the casino isn't your only issue.

    I am trying the ban the casinos thing if i can do that and just stay in Sports i will be Ok. I just cannot go in the casinos. I was able to keep myself out of Sportbets casino. I am also taking a couple weeks off no depositing. If i cannot at least do that then i really will not be able to stay out of the casinos.

    I know you are right. I am banning them. I have Betus and Sportbet banned. The Virtual was already banned at Youwager i need to Ban the Live there too. I do not play at DSI anymore so no need there.

    So you're up $40000 and complaining about losing.
    Find a different hobby?
    You're thrill chasing . You got a lucky hit and got up that amount and now you're chasing it. Stop

    I never said that was my net for the year. But because i start off low when i do hit with how i bet i end up ahead. I only do $150-$500 . Rarely though do i go over $400 to start. As long as i can get a decent bonus. I typically wait until i get an offer which comes a couple times a month. The $46500 i won was $350 to $20000 at JB and $380 to $10000 at JB . Then $360 to $16500 at YW . I think thats right .I also win enough over that to cover the fees so that is what i net. That way if i started with like $1000 and lost it right away at least it keeps the amount i deposit down more.

    The one that hurt the most recently was the $18600 one. I had it i was where i wanted to be. I had no reason to even go in the casino but i did. But honestly the casino is the issue. Yea i have lost some big bets sports betting . The 3 in particular including last nights. If it would have hit i would have been over $9000 close to my goal. To me it is worth the risk to take that shot at that point. I liked the game the numbers were all there . It just lost. And i am Ok with that. What i am not Ok with is me losing that same $5400 in the casino because then i never give myself the chance at that shot in sportsbetting.

    Have you not read what i have said wow. I am complaining about losing in the CASINO. Yes , i am not happy that the 3 games all lost since the $46500 if even 1 won that would be another $10000 . And 2 of 3 had a great chance the first one lost in the last seconds. But the losses in the Casino right there if i just stuck to Sportsbetting the $18600 i should have been easily able to get to $20000 and the $7000 to $10000 had i not got stupid and went in the Casino. Right there could have been $30000 more. But i blew it in a casino that i had 0% to win in. Even if 1 of those 3 won and i avoided the Casino instead of $46500 i could have been at around over $70000 . But i blew it going in the casino.

    Just look up USS EXULTANT . That was my ship i was stationed on. She was a minesweeper. It is gone now though years ago. Charleston SC is where i was stationed. No i was not Captain lol. But i was one of only 3 crewmen that could actually helm the ship. That turned out bad because when you get only to sleep 6 hours a day they want you to steer the ship for 4 of them.

    Luckily i other then last year when i had my Tropicana meltdown i have been within my means. I have a good paying job luckily.

    Well shoot us an update then a few months from now and let us know how the casino ban changed things. A step in the right direction, regardless.

    I happen to like Cap. He’s real af as far as “figures” & down to earth unlike most on here. I’m rooting for a solution for you to maximize your profits. That’s what he’s seeking out basically in his threads.

    Thank you. I have always been honest from day 1. I just expect the same courtesy i give everyone else here. I do not name call or call people liars. I come here for support and talk to people who also have my weaknesses and get ideas that can help me. I post picks too i do not give "locks" that does not exist. But i go by the numbers and try to give picks that have an edge with them. When i get on a roll that is when i can win my money. And yes i am trying to look at myself and work on the best way to win the most that i can. The best way to do that is look at money i lost in the casino. Which is a staggering amount. So i come here looking for people that have dealt with this problem and get some ideas how to kick it. Maybe there is a way i did not think of. I cannot get help i tried that twice and they will not help unless i like lose everything . But i have a good job so i can always stay afloat. So the best idea here so far is banning everything. So i will try that with all of them . Maybe when they are not accessible right away i can force myself to stay out. It worked on Sunday. I was so tempted when i was at $7800 but the casino was gone and when i clicked and saw that i just left and continued sportsbetting. So it did work.

    Yea maybe idk it did not feel like the same because it was free money . I figured if i lose it big deal it was free anyways. I lost it and that was that. Other then that i have not done anything gambling wise but come on here . So i will just relax until Friday. Trust me i have been tempted but i figure i am not depositing a cent of my own money until this Friday.

    You are right i probably should have not gone in the casino should have blocked it even though it is free money. But it is blocked now and i have not gone in after that. The casino is like a drug but i cut that off now i have to keep it like that.

    If i can block the casinos i think i will be Ok . The only one i may not be able to is GTbets i think i tried before and they told me no. But other then that i should be able to block all the other ones.

    Yea i know they are rigged that is the thing i kept going in anyway. Every single one the only one that i have ever had any kind of continuous luck in has been GTbets. And only when i bet low. Other then that no others.

    I most of the times i lose the big amounts is when i try to round something off thinking i have so much in there i only need a little . Like the $18000 +. I was actually at $18600 . Thinking i only needed a little then i stop at $19000 . And i just kept losing. The more i lost the more mad i got. I do care about the money. But when i get in those modes and the dealer goes on those insane runs the more mad i get and the larger the bets. At one point i started betting $2500 a hand trying to get it back. The worst hand was i had 2 aces and i split the against a 7. I actually got a 21 and a 20 . The dealer got 21. So is still lost. Its funny because out of the hands i played that was the only time i got a 20 or 21 and i still lost. I did not even need to go in there at $18000 + i could have just got it there through sportsbetting. I did that at $16000 last year at DSI the same thing. That is where it hurts the most. When i get it up there $18000,$16000,$7000, a couple at $4500 instead of just sportsbetting i lost it in casino.

    But the $18600 one is what made me do the thread about needing help . Because actually pulled myself away that night and was not thinking casino i was happy and where i wanted to be in place to get to $20000 sportsbetting. Then next morning i went in and looked and ended up in the casino thinking i can get to $19000 . I do not even know why i did that but i did. I mean i know what i was thinking but i did not need to at all. I was not even betting that heavy at first but after losing over and over it just got worse and worse.

    I mean , i think i wold have been better on doing a -1400 tennis bet for $400 then going in the casino you know.

    Guy turns a few hundred into tens of thousands on the reg but can't stay away from programs coded for loss

    I saw this day in and day out as a pit boss. Regulars would say, I just need to get to $5k and I'm out...Then they get to like $4,800 and start forcing things only to lose it all. Try to set a mental stop loss.
