    Guys. Need a little help...........
    Had the worst 3 day stretch of my young gambling life.I have bet a unit size way out of my comfort zone (to the point where I should only we betting 10% of what I've been considering a unit)

    I went 0 for the last few days......leaving me in a deep hole.

    And I refuse to try and bet myself out of this whole and chase because I CANNOT back up any more $$ than I already down.

    I do not think I am going to be able to pay my local the thousands I am down by the next time we meet.

    I've never had this problem of being short.............what should I do?

        PT is nearing the respectability levels that it once held. The only person that can give you great advice is JJ...think he may have made a video on this topic already. Stealing from family members, false insurance claims...stuff of that nature.

            shut it down for a while, pay the bookie. hard knocks, them's the breaks. you'll be back in it in a month, no big deal.

            but no tilting and chasing. you lost.

                  Old ladies tend to trust young men. Get friendly with a few and then rob them blind.

                            This wins.

                            Funny most of my cash comes from nursing homes and assisted living homes (vending machines)

                            I work and its not like I have no way out, I've gotten myself out of holes just as big as this but I just dropped 10K cash last week on a business venture and should not have gambled so aggresively and out of control.

                            I know you guys flex your internuts.....but I have no one to really ask advice to because no one in my family/friends I can talk to about this

                                  Combination of poor money management and just losing.


                                  Not like I was making plays aggresively in the sense of "action plays" or even just anything. My capping methods took a toll over the last week, its not like I havent won before lol Ive hit the winning cycle etc. but I've never faced this type of gambling adversity......

                                  Lets put it this way, If I was betting a unit size of 500 dollars, I really should have only been betting 50 per unit ( and I would still be down)

                                      i am the farthest thing from a degenerate......I havent been gambling enough to be addicted to it and to feign the action.

                                      It was a combination of betting waaaay to much per unit and risking literally thousands a night.......when in reality I have X ammount of dollars cash to my name after making that 10K cash purchase whiped me clean.

                                        So I think the best thing to do is just slow down obviously.........and work out a payment plan with the guy over a period of time or something.

                                              Hey Mike,

                                              I describe myself as a degenerate gambler and I've never lost thousands in a week. I never lost $1,000 in a week. You have lost thousands. Everything you're saying is what degenerate gamblers say when theyre in denial.

                                              There's only two things you can do here 1) go to your bookie and give him a sob story and go on a payment plan, or 2) inscribe your bookies name on a bullet and place it in his mailbox. You have options.

                                                Sounds like you have nothing going for you... just pack up and leave. Go find another bookie and do it all over again. Eventually you'll hit it big and you won't have to move, you call the new place home. Also, you probably took the bookie out of action so just take over his job.

                                                  Is that why we never see these types of threads from you?

                                                  Because chasing is always the answer to money problems?

                                                      Yeah LordVodka. My picks are probably over the profitable 53% ......... but like I said, I was literally placing wagers that I couldnt back a single one up and now I lost them all.

                                                      You see you guys have no idea though......I am way to young to be in this shit, its 100% my fault. But now I need to get out of it so I can be ******* normal rather than 24/7 anxiety.

                                                      Bottom line = I used a unit size WAY out of my comfort zone for whatever reason, spent 10K in cash last week so I am basically wiped clean, and I went 0 for the last 5 days or so..........

                                                      Im not in denial of anything, I know I made a big mistake, I know its my fault, but I am in a debt that people my age dont have in there bank account

                                                        Just talk to your bookie about some kind of payment plan. What is the most you can pay a week? 10k last week?
