    Why are you still gambling on sports
    Considering it's illegal and impossible to win long term, maybe you need GA Gamblers anonymous. It helped me I have over 3 years away from a bet.

        GA is a good thing. I'm not saying it isn't and I'm happy that it worked for you.....BUT

        3 years ago you weren't looking at is as an Investment, say like stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. You where "gambling." You can make money in this racket, but you have to think long term and not chase.

            Here's the problem steve.... the problem is in the brain...when i place a bet, chemicals or whatever are released in my brain and i become a different person, once the first bet is placed, i will not stop until I have no money left. The problem is not about winning or losing, itst hat I dont stop and eventually go broke no matter what

              It makes sports slightly profitable for me, or there's a chance, at least. So far, I'm + money, but it's not even to the point where it's serious, so right now, it's all recreation.

                solution for u... bet ur best bet (one) per day never log into sportbook account again until tomorrow(win or lose). If u have another computer use one for gambling activity and other one just for daily use. U mind still not winning but u will last longer and have fun watch the games.

                  here's how it goes for me EVERY TIME...

                  I get my hands on some money.....get a prepaid **** at walmart for $50-100...do a 2 or 3 team parlay, lose......go back to walmart get another card for $50-100....do a 4 or 5 team parlay cuz im pissed, lose....and this cycle continues until i have no money left....if i somehow win on a parlay say $600, I bet $300 straight up per game until im broke, happens every time, im powerless over it

                              Tebowl just run while you can.
                              If that post you made about dropping parlays is true you're just an idiot and you deserve to be broke.

                                Its like anything else in life we do it because we "have to" or because you "want to"

                                Why do we....

                                Go to work and make money
                                Date women or be a homo
                                Get Married and have Kids
                                Watch TV
                                Smoke weed/ ciggs
                                Wack off
                                etc etc

                                But, if you're in the "have to" category when it comes to gambling there might be a problem.

                                          why does the USA have to pay for WTO violations because of their stance/laws on funding online wagers?

                                                    Wow, that's a crazy coincidence. You've avoided sports betting almost exactly as long as I've avoided being in the red lifetime.
                                                    Walter forgot... when you're desperate's when you got no choice.

                                                        It masks our internal problems also

                                                        I love the challenge too

                                                                  I get my hands on some money.....get a prepaid **** at walmart for $50-100...do a 2 or 3 team parlay, lose......go back to walmart get another card for $50-100....do a 4 or 5 team parlay cuz im pissed, lose....and this cycle continues until i have no money left....if i somehow win on a parlay say $600, I bet $300 straight up per game until im broke, happens every time, im powerless over it
                                                                  I was like u 10 yrs ago. But I switched my strategy, started doing straight wagers only. And last football season i hit it big, made 300 K off 300 dollars. U parlay, u will die by the par;ay u see those buildings in vegas that is why it is called a parlay.
