    My first degen moment

    I just ******* lost $300 playing roulette on bookmaker a couple of hours ago. I just wanted rack up some betpoints just betting $1 units and was pretty much breaking even for a while just going on 50/50 stuff red/black, odd/even, etc. Sort of a good way to accumulate some betpoints. I end up taking some chances and betting $5 every once and a while after winning a few straight and just kept on hitting over a course of about an hour, I end up being up about $60-$70. Then my dumbass degen idiot self decides why not just gamble and bet some $25 chips and next thing I know, I lose 2 straight, martingale(smh) and next thing I know I'm down $300. Somehow, I manage to say "that's it getting away from this shit and NEVER AGAIN playing casino games."

    Of course, I need to recover that money NOW and my degenerate ass can't wait for tonight's pro sports or wait for an afternoon soccer match, I need to get that money back immediately. So what do I do, I bet $375 to win $300 on some guy I've never heard of in men's tennis. Fortunately, the guy Tobias Kamke hasn't lost a game and is currently up 3-0 in the second set after winning the first set 6-0. Thankfully, not much of a sweat here in this match and barring something ridiculous, Kamke will win me back my roulette losses, but I still feel like the biggest idiot in the world. Feel free to insult the crap out of me, I need to hear it.

    JJ link to that video you made where you talk about the thrill and pressure of being in big time debt and staying up all night chasing.

    So, did your boy win in tennis? As much as I tilt when I lose a big bet, chasing on something you know nothing about is an even bigger recipe for disaster, IMO.

    Seriously if you don't have the discipline to stay out of those places, ask all of your books to disable your access to the their casinos.

    I do hope your tennis bet wins but fear that you will not, genuinely, learn a lesson here unless it loses.
    BOL.

    I had DSI disable my casino act. I used to get drunk and play slots and blackjack. Dumb move. Now I just blow all of my betpoints to get that "fix" .

    Exactly right.

    The biggest obstacle to learning in gambling is that you can do exactly the absolute wrong thing and you often get away with it. And the reverse is also true.

    you lucked out taking kamke- hes like this 24 year old german kid whos beaten some top top players lately and kept it close with others. just kinda starting to show what he can do. i think the odds were like -130 when i took him on 5d this morning....nice work.

    bookmaker poker is the same f*cked up software they use on here. its crooked and you will see a drastic difference in results according to bet size. its really not right.
