This whole gambling thing just isn't working out for me. I don't know why I can't just
cash out and take away the few bucks I have left.

yeah but you can't be THAT fed up where you would seek help instead of posting on a gambling forum

Hang in there pal, real gambling is about making videos of taking your first shot....or reviewing some ice cream....or showing your cack n balls after taking a shower to 100's of eager dudes on a forum, maybe step it up a notch and make a video of you looking at your 32" tv and a cheap laptop of you on SBR...that's big time. Don't give up on it yet, it's a lotta fun.

You forgot the vids about how to score with chicks. That's for the professional, man. BIG time.

its not the whole gambling thing. its the whole losing thing. But its not called winning its called gambling. my tout gives me a 3-0 night! tomorrow im sure he goes 0-3. You just cant get over your head. If you put a grand on your account bet 50-100 a game. if you only put a 100 in account just be like 15 a game. dont ever take it personal. I had the marlins yesterday in their meltdown against the mets in bottom of the 9th. and earlier this week i had white sox against A's. it goes to like 14 innings the white sox score 2 in the top of 14th then give up three in bottom of the 14th. What are you going to do. Its not called winning its called gambling. DONT EVER TAKE IT personal.

1. Bet on sports that you are good at, don't bet on sports you are bad at.
2. Bankroll management. You should only be betting 1% to 10% of your total bankroll.
3. Never bet on heavily juiced lines. Like a line at -1000 for example.
4. Never bet on heavily valued lines. Like a terrible team at 100 to 1 odds to win championship.
5. Teams with home field advantage tend to win games, especially in football.
6. Be a strategic gambler by picking your spots and wait for the right opportunity. Never be an impulsive gambler by betting for the action or just because it's your favorite team.
7. Stay emotionless all the time. Bet like a robot. There's no place for emotions in this profession.

I do the exact opposite of every single one of those.
Obviously I'm a big time losing player.

yep its pointless...just a waste of time and aggravation while life goes by chasing chump change...some are better at playing catch with the book than others, ultimately you wild pitch it all away...the energy and discipline required to succeed at this are just not worth it...i know if i spent have the mind power on other pursuits i would have won a nobel prize already
