    im quitting gambling for 60 days
    i won 1,250.00 and had 2,000 in my hand i was betting crazy and not thinking of money and tossed 800.00 away like nothing.ended up 1,100 ahead but thats besides the point.im getting income tax 2500 and coming into another 2000 cash with work and everything


    total 5700 cash theres no reason for me to gamble since im a compulsive gambler im going to pay off atleast 50-75 percent of my bills and just work and save up again.i will be back opening day of baseball with 1,000.00 bankroll and just going to see where it gets me in 1 season.

      good idea man......

      heres a good test to see if you are a compulsive gambler.....

      If someone gave you 100,000 in cash right now but says you cannot bet on anything for the rest of your life, not even a dollar or wager on anything would you take it?

      I sure as shit wouldn't and its not because i think i can make more money than that its just because i enjoy gambling

      its all about the high its not when you win its not when you lose

      Its when the dice are dancing on the craps table that makes you feel alive

        wow 60 is a long time , i def dont have that kind of will power.

        remember when baseball starts starting pitchers will be on short leashes atleast for the
        1st couple starts so it is very important to think about bullpens. Lots of value in underdogs early on

              Why not just bet 20 bucks a game and never bet (lose) more than 5 games a day.....no reason to go nuts, but you will still enjoy a small sweat on games......makes losses not so bad and you will still enjoy wins

                    Then do 50 bucks and bet only 2 or 3 games a day.....

                            Good luck with that, head over to the casino and blow your points if you need a fix.

                                Nobody likes a quitter. If you need cash for a bet I will do a transfer. Don't be a quitter.

                                          remembering the value of money is hard when you are a gambler.

                                          just keep things in perspective.

                                                  I would come back with $100 and bet $5 per game
