    What I don't get is there only two rules to gambling. That's all, TWO RULES.
    Addict or not, if you cannot follow the rules then there is a short-circuit between your ears.

    Rule #1 ----- Protect your bankroll at all times.
    Rule #2 ----- Refer to Rule #1.

    I agree, especially when we are talking about the ads talking about setting limits or taking timeouts. There is zero reason to advertise those features unless they intend to target those that already think they have a problem controlling themselves.

    Makes me shake my head that no regulator, or advertising authority, has picked up on that fact and stomped on it.

    It's just like everything else in life, you have to be on an even keel. Thus, you have to "have money to make money". Oh, and by the way, you have to actually have a knack for a sport, and know which sports you either can't handicap well, or aren't interested in (mostly it's all of the above). One has to realize that a guy like this is into sports betting because he was a competitive player, likely a good athlete, and competed at high levels. The worst bettors are going to be the high school has-beens who aren't all that smart. They think they were good athletes - and may have been good, but overestimate themselves. Not having good insight, they think they can compete in a game that is far more about mathematics and probability, management (of yourself and money), and much less with "understanding sport X". I can tell you, most people, and I have been watching friends for years, are afraid to bet dogs. That's the first hurdle, but it usually means in other ways you have arrived. I'd have to sit down and talk to someone in order to assess that, though.

    The more important part of my post is this: the way to channel the energy of competitiveness and ego, which creates the problems and demise, is to actually be aware that you must humble yourself, in some way. A way to do this is to be good at what you do, and know that you are, and also have a common group of friends that knows you are. If you can accomplish this, the money part isn't as big of a deal (lessening the likelihood to fall into "money problems"), the challenge is, and the success will feed your ego. Of course, if you are an achiever outside of the realm of sports and gambling, this is much easier to do.

    People with addictive personalities probably shouldn't gamble.

    On an related note, do you believe you are smarter than the AVERAGE person on SBR?

    Must show discipline and treat sports gambling like a business and not an action junkie addiction. You might just make money if you do that.

    Moderation in drugs is hard also. The highs and lows mess with your feelings of feeling great and bad. Gambling addicts feel that same rush.

    It’s a proven fact that Christ heals addictions. People are just scared to release their soul and allow Christ to run through their veins. It’s the best decision one can ever make.

    keep it going yes, we all make mistakes, but don't make anything an idol (there are many out there) ... or at least if you do make that error, admit it and change your ways. That's what "repentance" is.

    To cecil's point...anybody diving into gambling w/o self-control is asking for trouble.

    At a minimum, you need to know your limits. If that's a small cut of your weekly take-home that you're OK blowing, OK, that's it. Even that is really too much.
