How to stop betting on sports?

[crzbrave]

After every game where I lose on a half-court buzzer beater, a shit turnover, a backdoor cover, a blind ass zebra I say I'm done. I have to quit, how can you cap this shit? It is bullsh*t. I know that even if I do get on a streak, I will probally give it all back. I have made two cashouts in 6 years of sports betting I'd say.. but I have built up my balance from 20 to over a 1000 atleast 20 times. I don't have the means to be gambling right now really, yet I say one more reload. I give it a shot have a couple of good nights, then BANG.. it's back to 0. I say I'm done, then the next day comes around.. it's 4:00 pacific 7 eastern and I feel like damn I'm going to miss out on a winner. I went through 4,000 in a couple of months with a local when I was 19 my first experience betting, I should have known to quit then. I remember I had a 3 team parlay going to get me back out of the hole, my last play was a Sunday night game Oakland at Denver in a snow game, I had the Broncos this was prolly 6 years ago. Of course Oakland was a bad team and they kicked the shit out of Denver in the snow. rofl Been gambling every day for the past 2 years I'd say give or take a couple of days off.

I'm not going to some ga meeting , I don't have much spiritual going on for me and one of the few things left I enjoy is betting on sports. That is until halfway into the game. lol. I just turned 26 3 days ago, I think it is finally time to come to the realization that this isn't the life I want to live any more. I gotta make a change. One day at a time.. I gotta have some faith in myself and realize that the actions today make your future. Hope I can do this,

if hes a regular guy he has a good chance. if hes a freak he has no chance unless he starts smoking crack

[warriorfan707]

what you do is you stop placing bets

[itchypickle]

Blood in.....blood out

The only exit to gambling is to exit the earth....once it has you you're in for life....you might sneak away for a season or so...but it will grab you by the nuts and squeeze you until you confirm that next wager.....just let it happen!

Or you can just not deposit into your book anymore and delete your local from your phone....your choice.

Its hard man, I tried fukkin pills where it took the urge out of me but eventually I could not take it and got the shakes and started gambling again

Hey guy I bet your busted up looking like many of us so you gamble
I do it because i hate looking at myself in the mirror and look at my bald fukkin head

Gambling makes me feel good and really good when I lose

I love being down and trying to fukkin dig out on the weekend, the rush is un real

I tried coke and does not replace it

Man let me know your next move, maybe bet small amounts just to get the feel

I can help you if you pay for my trip to your City man, maybe counsel you on the beach and we can try and meet girls?? Hey chief can you imagine yourself with me on the fukkin beach, I wwear tight bathing suit with no shirt, bald , 5-4 with a tail in the back and 295 pounds coming at you. I swear you will run away from me

I grew up in Europe

[AceKingHigh]

there is no need to quite, but there IS a need to LIMIT yourself... ! go out, go to the GYM.. find a GF... F Her all day long.. do something with yourself go study.. find a job... I don't know.. most important is LIMIT YOURSELF!

When I join a sportsbook, I right away send an email telling them to BLOCK my casino cause if it was open - as I lose my SBR points I'd lose my $$$ hahah good luck pal...

They hijacked you... should of got much better odds, unless you took heavy Favs!

[neverstoppers23]

lol. I remember being in New York with my ex gf on vacation, I'm from Cali. We went during Christmas time, I bet the Knicks - 4 and went to the game. There was a bald-headed **** in front of me with a hot chick and he had money on the Bobcats I KNOW IT. She was fukking rubbing his head and shit it made me want to puke, and I know he kept pumping his fists every time the Bobcats scored. Was pissing me off, it was a close game low scoring as hell. Final was 87-83 Knicks won but I pushed and the missed freethrow cost me the win. It was a helluva fun time though, sloppy sloppy game though.


I remember going into the computer lan place or whatever it's called, they had one inside a Burger King.. I made that poor girl sit with me for an hour Sunday morning while I browsed gambling forums looking for NFL wagers. I fukking lost too, man.. I'm in New York and I'm sitting there on a damn forum looking at these fukks talking about lock this lock that. I should've known something was wrong with me and damn I was lucky to hold onto that girl for as long as I did, I think after that trip was the beginning of the end though. Sigh.

You are on a power trip and think it is a self-control issue. Even the so-called experts can't agree why people can't quit gambling. From what I've read about these 12-step programs, they all begin by avowing that they are powerless to stop gambling, just like you are. For starters stay away from sites like these and take your girl or wife or kids somewhere every Saturday and Sunday and don't watch sports. Find friends that don't gamble, and stay away from people and places that do. That's a start. I don't mean to be rude, but your post was silly bullshit and not very convincing. You don't need any "higher power" to quit, but some friends who have gone through what you are currently going through could be a 'real friend' who just might help you, since he's been there, done that. If nothing else, think what you have stolen from your family and your kids, your wife, etc. If you're serious, you'll stop. It's either that or you'll die broke and lonely singing this same pathetic song. Oh, I didn't say it would be easy, but you can do it, but not by posting bullshit like above. I wish you the best, but I will not wish you 'good luck.'

[SASH]

I am a compulsive gambler. I lay down large money on these games, there is no way I will ever be able to quit. The longest Ive gone without wagering when I was trying to quit was between 7 to 10 days probably

[warriorfan707]

You must not read this forum much

[neverstoppers23]

you just can-not have credit, that is the issue you have. budget out your money and have an allocated amount for gambling, if you keep it to that you will have a much better time, you will be less stressed out, and you will enjoy the action more.

[Duff85]

Fukkkk it bro take up online casinos... then your sports betting will seem like its the least of your problems.

[jjgold]

Gambling actually is great for your fukkin mind, it keeps it alert
