    it's hard to be satisfied gambling
    I used to be a compulsive gambler, would gamble pretty much any penny I had. Would go to the OTB everyday, play lots of online poker,etc. Well I'm still broke but I haven't gambled in quite some time. After a while the urge just went away. Now of course If I come across some decent money I will gamble with some of it but I don't have that urge to do it everyday anymore. The only time I think you can be truly satisfied gambling is when you can walk away a winner and not gamble for a good amount of time. It's just hard to be satisfied when you gamble everyday. If you win you always want to win more. Many people get greedy and just end up losing there whole bankroll. And if you lose you just bet more to try to break even. It's a catch 22. and if you are gambling everyday it's like a drug. You will need to wager more just to get the same rush. SO my advice for you is to be careful.

    Sports gambling is a rollercoaster, one minute you can't miss, the next minute you can't hit shit and vice versa

      Once you learn how to gamble only when you have an edge, you will never want to "gamble" again in your life.

        Gambling is for suckers, playing edges is what you should strive for (much much easier said than done I might add)

          If you've ever read the book The Odds, the first few pages describe sports gambling perfectly.....

                Most gamble for the action, I like the high I get when I have cash on the game you need to accept being broke if you like to gamble.
