    I've Lost everything I'm so so sick of this.
    I've never made a thread like this before, but tonight I just kept losing and losing and now I have nothing left, no income at the moment, and $40 000 in debt. Lost $1500 on Pats on Monday, then managed to lose $1000 daily until today when I couldn't take it anymore after the Navy game, and went all in on the 2nd H Over 89.5 on the Minny/Sac game, and of course they miss every shot and the score ends as one of the lowest I've ever seen in NBA.

    What's worse is that I know this isn't even rock bottom. Whenever someone tells you, 'cheer up, things could always be worse', I know I'm just not there yet. Even though this is terrible and I have no idea how I'll get out of this, I know things will be worse one day and it makes me sick. Tomorrow will be the end, I'm transferring my last $200 to 5D and will have a final all in play.

    I hate this, I fukking hate this, and it wouldn't even be as bad if the wins and losses came at the same time. But it's always 10 wins in a row, then 16 losses in a row, which is the worst way to go 10-16. The only reason I started doing this was to just make a bit of income, like a part-time job because no one wants to hire me anywhere and I don't know why. For 10 years I have searched for a regular job and have never held a steady job for more than 3 months at a time. I just wanted to use wagering as a way to support myself until I finish school, so I could maybe get a job at a grocery store at least (where I live, I know I'll need a degree just for a minimum wage job at this point)

    If anyone knows of anywhere online I could find a job, or be able to write for a company or something I would be appreciative. I just can't stand this anymore. Every loss is like a heartbreak, like I'm being divorced each time or rejected by someone you've liked for an eternity. I just hate this.

          well for one if you don't have money don't gamble. keep the two hundred bucks in the bank. if you really want a job go to mcdonalds,wal mart or any where and apply for a job.

              This is what people don't understand. People think I think I'm too good for minimum wage jobs like these. Like I'd rather just sit on my ass when these jobs are available. The truth is, where I live, it's almost impossible for me to even get a job at these places. I've applied everywhere, just for shitty minimum wage jobs and I get nothing back. That's the only reason I even started wagering in the first place and now it's destroyed me. I'm fine with those jobs if I could even fukking get them, it's so annoying. The only job I wouldn't do is sex worker for males.

                Not being a smart azz but go to a meeting
                one of two things will happen
                1)You will identify with what is being said
                or
                2)Hearing all those compulsive degenerate slot players will give you such a laugh it will boost your confidence and put you on the winning track

                      you're going all in with your last $200??

                      what is that going to accomplish?? either way, you'll still be in a massive hole.

                      you need help, professional help.

                        wait until you find a job and you see the paycheck....

                        Back to 10% Federal Tax instaed of 5% for 2011! No more "It pays to work"!!

                        Then they say 4.2% on you're Social Security instead of 6.2% so you'll see an extra money in your pay

                        I figure you'll be getting 3% less

                        Do the Math and don't worry about losing b/c we all do unless you're working for Uncle Sam

                          Stop gambling now! Why throw away your last $200 You know that is what will happen. Even if you win a few bets and get up to a g or two you will still be chasing and trying to get out of that big hole. When you are betting with this mindset you will just end up broke. Take some time off. Don't even watch any games. Take like at least a few weeks to find yourself and make a plan.

                                Try to earn a little to get yourself out of your current living situation where the economy is better and you can land a full time career.

                                    I would suggest calling a Problem Gambling hotline like Gambler's Anonymous or GamCare.

                                        quit gambling, dude, you clearly suck at it.

                                        sign out of sbr, remove it from your bookmarks, and don't tune into espn or visit any sports-related websites for months.

                                              masu, in the same boat. lost every single bet on suns game (three) and im on a 2 and a half month losing streak. you'd think i would quit as always losing is no fun and i dont even have the money to bet yet i can't freaking stop.

                                              hang in there and know you are not alone.

                                                It's sad that you can't see this. Get some help.

                                                    He isn't gonna stop, he admitted as much already...

                                                    just play small offshore and gradually try to get interested in other things...

                                                    gambling isn't going anywhere...

                                                    This is a realistic thing you can start tomorrow..

                                                      I don't believe you lost $40k and you think betting $200 will make a difference. Save it for Mickey D young man.

                                                        If u bet money that u can't lose its always a losing proposition.... when u lose, u begin to chase and its all over.

                                                        In order to do this professionally, u need to have skill and DISCIPLINE. Contrary to popular belief, the latter is the hardest. How many times have u bet multiple games a night for many days in a row?

                                                        Keep the $200 for gas for your car and find a steady job. Good luck to you.

                                                            thing is, he clearly does not have the restraint to play small.

                                                            he needs to got cold turkey. the urge to gamble will be 100x worse before recovery can happen.

                                                              No, I never said I lost 40k gambling, the 40k is from other debts and student loans etc...

                                                              To be honest, I don't even think I'm down that much in total gambling, the problem was that I cashed out a big last week and used that for gifts and then went on a horrendous losing streak, losing over 10k in 2 weeks.

                                                              I may fukk up tonight. I may transfer the $200 now and play a 2nd H on the college game... I never do these impulse plays but I'd rather have this out of the way tonight than thinking about which play i'll make tomorrow.

                                                                      And doing what Minet123 said is a great idea. Go along to GA just to see what a really bad compulsive gambler looks like... you might be surprised that you aren't as bad as you think, and this might help you not drop into that helpless bet everything until I lose mindset so easily.

                                                                      Or you might identify with the people, and scare the shit out of yourself enough to stop before it's too late.

                                                                      40k is virtually nothing in the big scheme of things. Your life isn't wrecked. You have hope.
