      How about this guy? How sad does he sound?

      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 .

              Wow. You cured yourself in what, 3 weeks?

              And just yesterday you made a thread about how easy it is to it 75%.

              Which is it?

                You don't gamble anymore after knowing how sports work and hitting 75%. That's odd.

                  Yeah, that's what I was wondering too.

                  24 hours ago, he knew how to win 75% of the time.

                  Today he is 12 stepping it out of here.....

                    Over under on the avg SBR posters "yes" answers would be 11.5 to those questions

                    Looking for action on the over because you have inside knowledge seals the deal IMHO

                      I cant make a bet today because even though I can consistently pick at over 75% over the course of a season, I still cant gamble today because I had a bad addiction to gambling and now Im trying to overcome that by not gambling, just for today. And I cant sell picks because no one would believe me and I dont feel like giving free samples. But yes, I know how sports works, and yes, 75% is the average, 100% some days.

                                      Here's my question.

                                      If the tool is winning at 75%, then why would he quit? What is he actually losing?

                                        he is probably hitting 75 % betting -1000 mls and higher
