Lost it all on the Pats

sorry to hear man... sound like an action junkie... action junkies built Vegas.

Start looking more into non-US sports. Always plenty of action to be had for the gambling junkie..

Last 21 days of betting I had won 18/21 of those days with smart, efficient grinding. The Superbowl and prestige surrounding it got the best of me and I "had to fire big". I went 0-6 today and lost it all, its pathetic.

I feel like every square in the world cashed but me. I have friends from highschool who just recreationally bet big games for fun, I look on my facebook with kids who know nothing about sports and they all had Giants also. Im sick to my stomache...

avoid non us sports! they play in some shitty australian basketball league for a reason, it is like betting on the WNBA!

I feel bad for you. I do because I've been there. I've grinded to a huge roll before to lose it all in a day. Probably every gambler has done that at least once. I've grown up a little bit. I lost a college basketball bet today for being a homer and betting on Illinois, and instead of going all in on the super bowl, I put a medium sized bet on the under 54 which I was going to do either way. Just gotta bet each game as if the bet before it never happened, win or lose.

dont be depressed you douchebag, we've all been there

learn from this and never do it again

only two ways to make money gambling

1) money management

or

2) hit and run

if you have made two or more bets in your life then no. 2 is no longer an option

Get back to the grind. You had some success recently, so just pick that up.

FlipsideRM · 02-06-12, 06:19 AM

Hard to not be tilted by this. Might try a few bets tomorrow if I don't make some back I'll prob take a few weeks off until march madness maybe

denn333 · 02-06-12, 06:22 AM

it sucks, but shake it off and get back in the game.

3 weeks of grinding, all gone.

Pats win Im living the highlife. Now, i've hit an all time low. Depressed, drunk/hungover posting sob stories to you guys on here.

C'mon Flipper! Cash your next big wager pal.

the only way for an action player to win in this game is to become the house.

FlaxMartin · 02-06-12, 09:56 AM

Stupid bet in the first place!

The Kraken · 02-06-12, 09:58 AM

You were lucky to hit 18/21 in the first place. Easy come, easy go.

5mike5 · 02-06-12, 10:15 AM

usually when i go on a huge run, say ur 18 of 21 streak i ALWAYS make a nice withdrawl so this doesnt happen and even if u lose it the withdrawl u made makes it not hurt very bad....thats just my advice, after being where u are today b4, and never being there again

sorry for your loss bro

Hopefully you learned a lesson though. It is just one game that is no different from any of the ones you played over the last few weeks and should have been treated as such.

I put a unit and a half down that was spread over 3 prop bets. I went 2-1 and won a half unit. I wish I would have played more since the under would have cashed and the other handful of props would have fared well. My point is that I didn't go crazy and I bet about the same amount I would have on any other game.

Get out of your funk and get back to grinding out winners and get that $$ back
