How many times have you quit gambling?

[eyeball]

For me its been thousands!.. Everytime I go through a loosing streak it happens. It only lasts a day though... Once the depression leaves I wnat to play again.


"Quiting gambling is easy, I ahve done it a thousand times"

[SBR Lou]

As many times as I've quit smoking.

[pimike]

Never, always thiink I can get my money back

[bettilimbroke999]

Thousands for me as well, when you're on a winning streak there's nothing you want to do except gamble, when you go on a losing streak you never want to make a bet again and so begins another attempt to "quit" (which lasts about a day or so til you see a line you like LOL)

Plus my own " Why in the fu** do I continue to do this, am I not smarter"

[jackpot269]

I've done the same also!

[thezbar]

Never. Life is a gamble just getting out of bed.

[Cannon]

Start booking you will never have to stop gambling and will always be rich.

[Francis Sollozzo]

Three or four times in my 20s & early 30s , took off several months sometimes. I'm 57 now

[Tsoprano]

There should be no reason to Take Dallas in the 1st place.

The Hornets were fighting to be NUMBER 1 in the tough West.

The Mavericks were fighting to even be a seed in the play offs.

[topgame85]

yah I agree I won my first two plays today and lost the last two the fact NO had not won in Dallas in ten years pushed me to Dallas and they sucked

[jm765]

recently... I have taken a few weeks off. And i notice I play alot better. Say I have a nice winning streak. then boom I start losing every game. I take a week or so break and my picks seem better. I know I start chasing which is bad, so I quit and find other things to do around..

[michael777]

started gambling in 1972,have never stopped or even slowed up,gamble every single day

[buztah]

I quit once and that lasted about 6 months. As a sports lover and a gambler, it's so hard to watch a game without thinking about what the spread must be or the total, etc. Gambling has ruined the pure enjoyment of sports for sports sake for me though as I have a very paranoid and cycnical outlook on every game. Hard to believe that every aspect of a given game is pure and in the spirit of competition. Always feel that someone is trying to fix something. I particulalry feel this way when a great college player has an off night for no reason. Hmmmm.... Did he have a family member put 100k on the game and that's why he suddenly can't get an RBI or make free throws. You get the idea....

[jjgold]

I went to GA 4x so far and really did not work

If you stay in the program you will be free from this disease and be happier

[michael777]

c'mon coach,we would be broke if we did'nt gamble

[OLGC_Slayer]

zero. i quit smoking though.

[bettilimbroke999]

zero. i quit smoking though.

The question is not really about actually quitting, b/c by definition you'd have to never do something again to quit it, so saying I quit a thousand times really means you said you'd quit (to yourself or others) a thousand times. Really everytime I have a losing day I say to myself quit this bullshit, so if I lose today I'll have quit again by tonight.
