    About to turn 30.....
    for the past 17 years i have been gambling excessively and I have come to a point where I just can;t do it anymore all i do is lose. it does nothing for me anymore it used to be fun but now its a chore. i have a ton of debt that i will never pay back and gambling has turned me into a bad person. I am sad on the inside.

    I feel like you are just about to go on an epic heater though

    30 is a great age for gambling

    rethink it

      If it aint fun, it aint worth doing.

      My advice, quit cold turkey.

            Get away from sbr and start over. The best thing is that you realized this before you were too old to make something of yourself. Good luck

                  Bad advice. You _should_ stay in SBR if you want to stay away from gambling - nobody gambles here with real money, everyone is in rehab.

                        lilpete, I envy you. You are man enough to admit this instead of turning your head. What I would suggest for you and anyone else that gambles is to find something less expensive to obsess over. Because all gambling is, is a form of obsessive compulsive disorder. Once most people start obsessing over something it's a lifestyle that is hard to stop 'cold turkey', so just change what you obsess over. Exercise, video game, college, anything you can do in large quantities. Good luck bud.. I'm 3 years behind you and hope I either quit even or earlier than you will.

                          Yeah, I gamble for the enjoyment, as a math tech geek I love beating the numbers, I love that aspect of gambling more than the cash.
                          When it stops becoming enjoyable I'm out.

                                Hang in there bud.

                                Add some alcohol, sex, and or drugs into your life. It will help to balance out the gambling.

                                              If you give up gambling you'll just substitute another vice for it. Hang in there and stay in action!

                                                  Nah, most of us started by betting baseball cards and the like over dice and card games when we were little kids.

                                                  PS, when gambling stops being fun (and this goes for just about anything else in life) take a break to work on other things, and reavaluate.

                                                    no, i signed up because i wanted to share my picks with people but i just keep losing. thought the smart money strategy would work (jets line goes from -3 to +1 even though the whole world is on the jets;bet the other team, thats a smart money bet), im decent at poker but i always lose everyhting in blackjack, just cant stay away from it.

What I would suggest for you and anyone else that gambles is to find something less expensive to obsess over. Because all gambling is, is a form of obsessive compulsive disorder. Once most people start obsessing over something it's a lifestyle that is hard to stop 'cold turkey', so just change what you obsess over. Exercise, video game, college, anything you can do in large quantities. Good luck bud.. I'm 3 years behind you and hope I either quit even or earlier than you will.
                                                        Yeah Guy college is a great way to rack up a ton of debt and get a job at Lowes or Home Depot. You don't need college everyone has a wealth of information in their pockets College is for suckers these days
