    Burnt Out
    Right now I am at a point where I feel burnt out from betting games, let me explain , 2 weeks ago I deposited 307 dollars into my betting account and 2 weeks later im up 4,000 , ive been betting daily and also working a 9-5, but what im trying to say is that it was a struggle to bring that 307 to 4,000, and now after a loss I feel like putting my whole balance on the line, because im just tired, But I know for a fact that is a stupid thing to do, I just took a payout of 2000 and now I have 1,500 in my account. and just feel like putting 80% of it on one game. has anyone ever had this feeling of just putting it on one game and ending it good or bad?

    Yes.

    What you feel is completely normal

    Bet the whole $1500 and double up

    You can do it

      Take the money out and buy a new TV, new underwear and white V neck t-shirts, treat yourself to a nice meal, and maybe go see a show.

        This is actually great advice! I'd say take a good chunk of it out, at least a thousand and buy something. This way you actually have SOMETHING, ANYTHING concrete from your efforts. Take a break and if interested later, try and make another run with the $500 you have in the account. Just because all the unemployed living with their parents bustouts here bet 24/7 (airbets), doesn't mean someone such as yourself should follow such a dead end lifestyle.

          Glad to hear you didn't do anything rash and at least withdrew something. Take a break, watch a movie or something for entertainment and your excitement for gambling will come back and you'll be more motivated to bet a sensible unit size.

            good advice, and the only reason im asking is because I need to hear it from someone else because its hard to step away when you win so much in a few weeks, you feel invincible even though the losses are inevitable if I keep going. I took a 2000 payout from rebate wager and they made a quick payout.

              1500 = 5 deposits.

              take 1200 and go allin with the first deposit and see how you feel for the 2nd, and 3rd...

                  larry, I know how it feels. I am on the edge of my seat when watching the final minutes of a game just trying to break even for the day. That is always a lot more fun and exciting than the feeling I get when looking at my account size increase a few units for the day.

                  Like jj says, in a way we want to lose.

                      thanks, I need to hear that, I know im not the only person who is compulsive gambler either, my goal is to make 100,000 gambling. I know this is unrealisitic, but if I control the urge to do something stupid I can do it , I just need to plan it out better. Ive brought 100$ to 9000 before, and that was a gift and a curse, I doubled up that 100 in strategic bets and ML parlays and felt invinvicible only to burn myself out and start betting recklessly. betting is crazy man the games you encounter and the way the losses happen make you lose your mind sometimes , i need to get this shit off my chest to apply it to my reality

                                    You will regret it.... My advice would be to not look at the lines for a solid week... Every gambler that bets multi sports gets burnt out..... Mine usually happens when nba, CBB, CFB, and NFL are all going on at the same time... It wears you down especially working 40-50 hour weeks..... I usually take my break like this... I won't bet the NFL one Sunday and then won't look at the lines at all Monday - Friday to get refreshed... So that's 6 full days of not betting or even looking at it.... Another thing is when you are mentally taxed you do not see the lines and plays as clearly as you do when rested... When ur focused you are better in every part of your life...... I think if you take this advice by next weekend you will be refreshed and be proud as hell you didn't do anything stupid... Then you get to betting your 100-300 a game (guessing that's your plays) and run that 1800 back to 4000. Whatever you decide I am rooting for you!
