I just feel this incredible sense of hopelessness

I sell cars for a living and I'm one of the best in my state. I've got no energy today (and my job is all about energy and charisma)

[jjgold]

We’ll figure it out man

Bet small and work hard

Then gambling fun

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Stay away from parlays; they are, for the most part, sucker bets.

[Easy-Rider 66]

Back off OP ain't worth the stretch

Gaucher, you got your asada and beater ready for tomorrow’s game?

If you want to be stupid like me and flush your life down the toilet, keep gambling big money

Q. What do I do now?
I can't stop thinking about the money I lost

A. You don't know me from Adam and I rarely answer these threads because usually the poster is not really sincere and it becomes a waste of my time. But you do strike me as sincere so here goes.


IMO it is really good you can't stop thinking about it. It should really hurt and for a long long time.

That said, you have to look at it positively. If you never kept track and lost 10-15k per year for 25 more years you would be 2.5 to 3 times as bad off and barely realize it with not enough time to do anything about it. You are in your 30's. You have time.

Get mad, get pissed, and never forget it. But move on and become better.

I'm just going to scratch the surface here but these are my initial thoughts.

There are plenty of money management books around to try and figure out your best strategy. But simple money management within betting will tell you that parlays and that crap are death valley long term because the actual juice is higher and hidden. You can barely sustain trying to win 53% of your bets to cover typical juice. Higher juice is impossible long term. The lure of cashing big and fast makes people play that stuff. I've watched a ton of bettors do this . I worked at a gambling facility for over 25 years. Unless you have a serious strategy and never waver from it, you have zero chance long term.


Stay with the lowest juice, never double, triple up or this "all in" crap. And for gods sake don't go week to week with this Sunday bailout nonsense. Your bets are not for a week, month, year or season. They are for your lifetime !

At first, just make a reasonable amount of plays for your entertainment. If you get angry enough about losing ( hopefully you already are) , those plays will quickly lessen because you will become obsessed with YOU taking the edge instead of the bookmaker getting it. The entertainment will be the patience in between bets and watching for a play. NEVER bet because the game is on TV or whatever. Or the BIG game. That is a terrible idea. Wait, watch, find value and invest.

Keep accurate records that become yearly records. Record with favorites, records with dogs for each sport.
Split it by sports so you can spot you strengths and weaknesses. You will hopefully turn this into refusing to lose long term and the thought process will flip from needing to bet to needing to win. ( I kind of repeated myself but this is really important IMO.)

That will make you bet less often to the point where you are beating the closing number darn near and hopefully always. Do THAT, and you have a chance but there is no such thing as getting that money back quickly. Make it a lifetime goal and you very well will get that money back as well as a profit , with patience, beating the closer, and refusing to bet just to bet. Bet to win!

That was kind of all over the place but hopefully you get what I'm trying to say.

Hope that helps.

Good luck and All the best.

Do I take out 100K from my house?

I have about 200K equity. I could take 100K and put it all in, it would be 110k with bonuses and bet 2,000 a game

OMG !

Hell No !!!

Don't you dare touch your equity in your house to bet a nickel.

Take a breather for a couple of weeks and get your mind right.

Decide on an amount per bet. You might as well resign yourself to getting that 100k back over a decade or more. If you don't, you will chase, over bet, force bets, do some dumb parlay get rich quick stupid move and go 50-100k deeper.

You haven't even read the 1st sentence of any money management piece as to what I just said to validate my words and you are already looking to send it in again.

Seems like I might have misread your sincerity.

I've most likely already wasted enough time here.

If all you are doing is wanting to get it back quick, well good luck with that.

We will see you at -200k.

I don't have another 50K to put into a bankroll though

I agree with everything you said

What do you recommend?

[EGrecu]

Go to the strip club.

I have a hot fiance

[ThaWoj]

I have a hot fiance

Cant say that without pics. Also broads usually leave degens so be careful. I know first hand. Had a good one and fukkd it up, all the way in the ass.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

What do I do now?

Straight bets and pick your spots. If you turn a marathon into a sprint, you're toast.

[EGrecu]

I don't have the money anymore though. Should I just take out 100K from my house equity?

[Eddy Munny]

I don't have the money anymore though. Should I just take out 100K from my house equity?

Absolutely. Why you haven't done this already is beyond me.

[Fred The Hammer]

Met an older guy (73 I think?) at the casino here and we became friends. He's got some money, but not enough to support his crazy shit. He lost $4k on Wisconsin ML (-400) today. Says he's quitting and I've been nicely trying to tell him that for some time. Its sad to see. Impatient, greedy, and impulsive. Always and I mean ALWAYS chasing what he lost. He's a bookies wet dream.

Don't ruin your life. If you don't have the personality for this shit then stay away. Its like to trying to turn a mild mannered accountant into a UFC fighter. Its just not going to work and you're going to get hurt and hurt bad

Take the full $200k out NOW.

$150k deposited in 5 books @ $30k a piece.

$30k on 2.5 kilos of blow. I’ll talk you through chopping it up and packaging it for resale. This could get you about 3500 grams at $100 a piece… so do the math. We need to create a good revenue stream for you because selling cars is for the birds.

$5k on weapons, you are now Walter White.

$15k as severance to your fiancé. Hell, throw in a couple 8 balls for her. Odds are you will wreck her life to with your bad habits so cut it loose.

[sunshine11]

Put $200,000 on Cincy +5 buy .5 and thank me later.

That's a solid plan.

[Itsamazing777]

Never bet again.

[pavyracer]

I'm more impressed that you saved $100,000 selling used cars than blowing it all in 2 days.

How many used cars do you have to sell to save $100,000 after taxes and expenses?

[EGrecu]

I've been making 150-200K since I Was 24, I'm 33

[pavyracer]

Why do you gamble if you can make $200,000 per year selling used cars in your 20s?

You make more in your 20's that 99% of the people your age.

[mjsuax13]

I've been making 150-200K since I Was 24, I'm 33

If this is true and you don’t have $400k+ saved in savings, investments, etc… I’d just execute the plan above.

[EGrecu]

I have about 180 in 401K, 200K equity in house and a paid off car that's 30K

I've burned about 200K in gambling over the years. It makes me so sad to think about it. I would do anything to have never started it

[BigJay]

Find something else. Anything else to feed your addictive nature or 10-15 years from now you’ll say ¥
“Man I should have quit when I was in my early 30s and had lost about 200k, now I’m damn near 50 and that total’s at least a million.”

Golf, sport fishing, broads. Literally anything would be healthier
