[Otters27]

Sat down with the wife last night. We both agreed I shall not have access to money or betting balances. She is taking everything over.

I will start a thread with Straight bets and keep track of record.

It sure was fun for those years but time is time.

Good luck SBR. Thanks for all the fun.

[gauchojake]

Otters good luck. It's time. Enjoy your wife and family.

[Cuse0323]

I don’t know how to feel. I guess it’s for the best, but damn that’s a sad life to live. Love you Otto. Do what you gotta do.

[shocka1212]

good luck to you

Not losing it all on huge favs is a sad life?? Seems like a better life

[2daBank]

Enjoy the extra cash pal!! Go do fun things so you realize it worth it, only way!!

Smart choice. It's very hard to beat the books and ever harder when you lack impulse control.

I wish you and your family the best going forward Otters.

You can still bet points parlays and maybe turn that into some bitcoin if you go on a run. Then be smart with that money and buy something for yourself of your wife!

Try the Rudy approach by betting 3 or 4 team moneyline dog parlays where you hit big if you get lucky.

[swordsandtequila]

Just bet betpoints, get your action fix. Try money line dogs instead of huge favorites, can hit a smaller percentage and still come out ahead. Lost a nice Manster style teaser yesterday (thanks Philly) but +money on New Orleans, Seattle, and San Fran more than made up for it. I like the action too, but too many games is a losing proposition. Betting soccer I learned this real quick. Good luck Otters

[Ghenghis Kahn]

What could possibly go wrong with taking -10000 favorites? I'm surprised you lasted this long taking those bets.

Regardless, why don't you pick up fishing? Largemouth bass fishing is the best. Give it a try come next spring time.

[gauchojake]

Some people just need to stop. No points, no friendly wagers, no poker, no nothing.

I don't know if Otto is that guy. But if he is, then he should just do what needs to be done.

If it's causing issues with the wife then you need to decide what the right course of action is.

[lonegambler23]

damn i loved otters dream. what are your straight bets gona consist of real money bets or betpoints?

Being unable to control yourself to the point where your wife has to take over control of your life, and you’re not capable of posting on an Internet forum without it triggering you to lose money is the sad part. I like Otto a lot. Kind guy who seemingly has a good heart. Wish he could control his demons, but I guess that’s not possible right now. I wish him well. Maybe counseling would be useful. To get to the point that circumstances in life don’t give him the urge to pump money into books and bet outside his means. Gotta be able to live life on your own accord. I’m not one to talk, but at some point you have to learn from your mistakes. Good luck in your future endeavors, Otto.

[SendIt247]

Get back in the game and bet Nationals.

At least he has her to help him out. I never let my ex wife control the money but it turns out she helped keep me in check in a bunch of ways. When we split I went all kinds of off the rails for awhile. Lol

[jjgold]

Hope this works for Otter

[DR225]

You should take a break from watching sports and maybe pick up a new hobby. If you avoid sports for a few days, the gambling itch will completely disappear. Good luck man.

[Cuse0323]

Yeah, I hear ya. Sometimes you need someone else to keep you on the straight and narrow. I wish I had that when I got all my money before pissing it away on big favorites. I learned from that though, and changed my losing approach. Otto needs to find a new strategy or stop. That involves not betting more than the wife cares for him to lose. She seems like a good lady. Good on her for being apart of his recovery or whatever you call it. Brock’s wife just sat back and let the piece of trash take her for everything she had. Otto isn’t that type of people.

[pablo222]

I always enjoyed rooting for you. Best wishes for you.

No doubt, can’t imagine enabling that fukk wad. What does he have to be worth it? Ugly as fukk, lowlife, no way that midget packing more than 5 inches., lol.

It wasn’t the gambling my ex helped keep me in check with. Other than casinos I’ve always been pretty responsible with that. It was the other shit!!

[sosawestbrook]

Otter - win or lose, you are the man. I can feel your energy. things will work out for you once you put your foot in the ground. best of luck.

[Otters27]

damn i loved otters dream. what are your straight bets gona consist of real money bets or betpoints?

Straight bets will be real money. Probably $20 each per unit.

Then Betpoints for whatever. Won't post those though

[Jayvegas420]

Otters, have you ever considered trying the opposite tactic. Maybe take large money line dogs, (+ 350 +950 range), pick with the same volume you were picking but, parlay them into two gamers and three gamers perhaps?

If you hit ONE youre good for the day.
If you hit TWO you're good for the week.

[pilebuck13]

Otters you do realize your basically saying I’m only gonna get High on the weekend. From my experience being completely absent is the only way. Maybe you will figure this out once there is no thrill in disciplined gambling for yah. Either way man I support and wish you the best in whatever your doing man as I would to any man who’s trying to turn a new leaf.

[lonegambler23]

what happens if u go 0-5 -200? man just cut it out all together and bet betpoints, you dont care about the money

[hotcross]

Otter - win or lose, you are the man. I can feel your energy. things will work out for you once you put your foot in the ground. best of luck.

best reply in here

Numerous posters advised Otters for at least a couple years to NOT bet the types of bets he does

He's here for attention, not advice. So the positive words are best (even if I'm not capable of it)

I disagree. I’m big on cutting back not cutting out. With gambling and drugs!! If I go completely without then it binge time when it happens! Moderation the key to life baby!!

Some people are different man. Some people can’t just cut back. But like I said to each their own. Obviously moderation in anything is key.

Btw I’m backing your boy tonight hopefully he can hold it down

Definitely is based on an individual basis. I can cut back myself. It does lead to going back to the all in lifestyle at times, and Otto doesn’t seem like the type to cut back. He probably ends up going back to the same shit like I do. A clean break is needed here.

Like trying to taper from a ball to a gram a day to a .2 that shit never worked some cats just wanna tell themselves it will 👌

Otters pal!!

Your gambling isn't the problem.

Ditch the wife and do as you please.

[Cuse0323]

Yep. It may work for a few days, maybe even a few months. But, eventually you end up knocking on the dope man’s door come payday with cash in hand ready to party all weekend. Some people can do it, but most of us can’t and I really don’t see Otto as one of the exceptions.
