    chances of a 1/10 or 1/5 bet hitting?
    okay so I started gambling at the beginning of the year, and I'm now £1100 down

    I make about £1000/mo and don't pay rent, so it's not too bad, but the only problem is I can't help but feel that I'm £1100 down

    like even if I had £10k in my bank, I'd still feel as if I was £1100 and I can't stop. the stakes have already increased to sometimes £25/bet which I will put on randomly

    I NEED that money back, so...

    I have about £2k in savings, so I'm thinking about putting it all, or 1k on a 1/10 bet, or 1/5 bet until I win it back

    could this work or is it a stupid idea?

    would I be better off just waiting until something like international football friendlies, and betting 2k on something that's like 4/7?

    I remember last time Brazil were something like 5/6 to beat USA. I know anything can happen in friendlies, but if it's two teams like that...

        You have no clue what you're doing. You may as well be donating your money to charity.

                    Take a look at loss aversion for a little self-enlightenment. Don't chase those losses you'll really sink yourself. Forget about it for a few days and make a few small good plays.
