question for long term gamblers.

[pico]

have you ever dig yourself into a hole that is so deep that somehow you got out of it? I did once, and it took me a year of diciplined betting to get me out of it. I tried to get out of it by chasing, and that is how i got into the hole in the first place. I have learned my lesson...wasted good deal of my time to fix that hole

any similar experience?

I have only been betting for about 9 months now...during November and December I was losing so badly that I resorted to selling sports cards on ebay to pay my rent but felt the need to chase and bet tons of game everyday along with teasers and parlays which got me even further behind...Rough stage for me as a beginner. Learning experience to say the least.

flat betting 2% of your bankroll should not get you into a hole

I am still in a hole so I cannot answer as to climbing out of it. If you find out a good way, other than stopping gambling, I am all ears. All we're doing is really flipping a coin, all the analysis, trends, all as good as the next guys hunch. Sometimes I think the gambling gods let you win if you are a good person, otherwise karma shackles you down.
