Has anyone gone BUST!

[Dirty Sanchez]

I guess its just hard for me to understand how a person loses at this, I dont know as Charlie Sheen would say I've got tiger blood and Adonis DNA and a highly evolved brain so I have trouble understanding failing

If you have such a "highly evolved brain" explain...Why kamikaze pilots wear helmets...smart guy

[No coincidences]

Somebody broke into my account and posted that shit

[CanuckG]

I turned full on degen and chased the Oakland A's today...not busto but could of gotten ugly.

Reg look bro just next time you want to bet at the last minute change your bet and youll be hitting 66%, easy, dont be a retard you've got the best system for pickin losers ever, ask anyone here if they can hit 66% losers, no one can pick as many losers as you, just got to use your brain and get PAIIIIIID!!!

Hitting 34% is pretty hard to accomplish - he is right about that.

[ttwarrior1]

been busted and now my nuts are inflamed and i got hemmoroids i think

[shari91]

Reg, you seem like a good guy and while I hate to see anyone lose, I like to see them be smart enough to know when to take a break or quit altogether.

All the best with it all

[bettilimbroke999]

Just flip a coin, youll be hitting 16% more bets

[magynuck]

with ur approach to betting is for the best...will save u time and grief in the long run

Thanks for the words! I had to have a very difficult discussion with my wife last night about my downward spiral. I have never gambled on credit until the past few months, and I got crushed. A very bad run of luck to say the least. I won't even go into the details of how my games lost, because quite frankly, it isn't important.

With that said, I had to tell my wife I lost close to 15% of what's in our savings account. I have gambled behind her back before, and told her it was the last time on a few occasions over the years. She was extremely dissappinted in me, which was expected, but at the same time she was supportive! She does want me to close my accounts down, to help eliminate the urge, which I have already done. I think it's finally hit home, that gambling on sports isn't for me, it's not healthy and it's having negative impacts on my life. I feel I'm a good handicapper, but I bet too many games and horrible with money management, even after 5 years of this.

I've busted out before, and told myself I was going to quit, but deep down in my mind, I knew I wouldn't. This time really is different. I lost ALOT of money, but I haven't felt better in a LONG time. The last few days are the first days in months where I haven't had actions, haven't been checking lines, haven't been checking scores on my iphone.

I've gotten back into my workout routine, been cooking meals (which I enjoy) and spending alot more quality time with my wife. I don't need the day to day grind, when it's way more then likely that I will end up behind.

I'm not saying I won't ever place another wager in my life, but I guarantee you I won't in the foreseeable future. This was always a recreational hobby for me, but it turned into an everyday grind that consumed me.

I've finally broken free, and it feels great. Take Care for now ladies and gents.

[bettilimbroke999]

A good handicapper with a 34% win rate hmm, Id hate to see what a bad capper averages

Anyway good luck to you sir, losing 15% of your savings is nothing, that's far from what a normal gambler considers going bust, professional poker players like Gus Hansen/Tom Dwan etc have lost half their rolls in a month before which amounted to millions of dollars

We got guys on here stiffing ppl for sbr points which are worth like a cent and you're bitchin about losing 15%, hell no wonder your wife was so supportive, tell her you lost the other 85% and see how supportive she is

Also with a win% like that you could go tout and might be the next Brandon Lang, seriously ppl will pay a 1000/yr to fade you

[noties]

most gamblers lose their 1st , 2nd , or 3rd bankrolls , before they teach

themselves Moneymangement

[stealthyburrito]

gl regul8er, in my two years here i don't think i've seen anyone have as many bad beats as you've had.

you are good people and i wish you all the best

[bettilimbroke999]

I would've never believe someone could hit 66% winners, but somehow I believe 66% losers, its kind of odd, maybe Im a pessimist

[Regul8er]

Thanks stealthy...I appreciate it.

I already feel I'm regaining some of my sanity back. Most of my posts on here were blowups after bad beats. It's been refreshing not looking at lines and trying to find plays.

bettlimbroke......I won 33% over a sampling of wagers, don't we all??? Unfortunately for me, I had no money management, and couldnt withstand that kind of bad run.

One thing I can guarantee you I never do again in my is credit wagering. It's almost like your playing with phantom money until reality sets in.

[bettilimbroke999]

I've never hit 33% winners, I could let my dog pick and he could never do that bad but anyway I would say its either time for you to quit or time for you to bet the opposite of what you think is the right bet.

If your brain tells you to bet on the Cavs to beat the Spurs bet the Spurs instead, if your brain tells you to bet on the horse with 3 legs bet on the horse with 4 legs, etc. Its not that hard to win if youll use some intelligence and self-control.

[str]

A good marriage with a supportive wife ?
That makes you as big a winner as you could ever be!
Enjoy the freedom and extra time with your loved ones.
Hope to see you again some time but not under these circumstances.
Best of Luck Regul8er. You are a class act.

[aggieshawn]

Painful thread

[opie1988]

33% winners???

Thanks for sharing, you selfish bastard! I'd kill to be hitting 33%!!

Seriously, anyone who hasn't been there....is either a liar, or hasn't gambled very much.

Good luck, brother. I've always enjoyed reading your stuff.

If you can honestly say that if you took a sample out of your plays and you didn't hit a 33% (or worse) stretch, then you are either not keeping proper track of your bets or you are the greatest gambler to ever walk the Earth.

Everyone does it. It's called regression to the mean. Go on a run and sail like a 68% capper. Then go on a slide and revert to 52/53% if you're lucky. Usually worse.

Stop giving Reg a hard time. None of us are the Messiah of gambling. If we were, we sure as hell wouldn't be hanging out on here making multiple posts in the same thread.

Id rather hit 33% lifetime than this

I'm not giving him a hard time Im just joking around with him, hes quit anyway what difference does it make, he cant bet on the Cavs to win the championship anymore or whatever you have to do to average 33% over 400 plays

BTW quit pretending your a woman you ****** tranny!

Well now that was a bad edit!!! Ask the multiple people who have talked to me if I'm a woman or not. Poor form dude.

This is a great post except for the two bolded points.

Dude, just give it up. Or play centsports for action. It's not worth compromising any other part of your life. If you have a wife and want to keep her, don't just take a temporary break only to dive back in when you feel like you see a sure thing. Because for every sure thing, there's a play waiting to swallow you whole.

Considering the way it was affecting your life and state of mind, I'd give it up for good and never look back. Satisfy the cravings with something else.

Well in that case what are you doing tonight I've been looking for a degenerate sports gambling girl all my life, I think we could have a great life together as long as SBR pays you well enough to get me through my cold streaks

[Regul8er]

Thanks for the support guys. It's been 3 days now since my last wager, and I'm feeling pretty good, and haven't had the urge to bet.
I just need to continue to surround myself with things that will keep my mind free of this stuff. I was even able to watch the National Championship game last night without even thinking about putting a dollar on the game, and even though it was an ugly a$$ game, it was quite enjoyable for me.

[geebert74]

I bust all the time... But no one likes a quitter...

[mrmarket]

Regul8er just ignore cantbetimbroke. Let him live in his delusion until he tastes the hot man love slithering down his throat from some bald roid user under an atlantic city boardwalk for a $10 parlay.

You shouldn't feel any shame because you went broke. It's the outcome of 99.9% of bettors over their lifetime so you are in good company. Also don't fall prey to the pander when others just say suck it up and reload. They want A) For you to lose money again so they can gain some sick psychological pleasure from it or B) Are in some way profiting from your loses through on affiliate.

I don't pretend to know your situation so I'm not going to say go get help but just know that it's there. If you really want to kick the habit boredom is going to be your #1 culprit and you will relapse probably multiple times. A support group will help but most importantly stick with it no matter what. You should also stop coming to gambling forums. It's like an alcoholic frequenting a bar and irrationally concluding that he can keep it together if he has only one drink since he's been doing well so far.

Good Luck bud and spend time with the family.
