    Did You Ever Just Grow Tired Of Gambling?
    I tried to get up for some blackjack tonight, and really just don't feel like it. Don't want to wager on a game. Just feel like laying on the couch, and forgetting that gambling exists for the next night or two. Blah!

      I get that feeling a few times a year, usually after a really tough loss...even if I take a night off I'll still watch most games.

              funny you mention it cuz I am going through that particular stage right now. Just not feeling it at the moment. So I am taking a break. Not sure how long. I'll start back when I feel like it again.

                Havent bet for about 2 weeks. Just 2 games in that span and 1-1. Ill most likely hold out for another couple weeks and then just do ncaa brackets and bet nba playoffs, then take about 1500 and bet mlb with that and if I lose that then ill just hold off til nfl, which is the only sport I really like betting.

                  I think you got to pick you spots. Day in and day out gambling every day gets old just like everything. Like most, I think after a bad beat I take a few days off or week or more. And during hoops and baseball, I am just trying to keep my account balance about even until football anyway.

                    Poker gets tiring. I stay away from casino games. Love doing homework in sports.

                            Poker can get boring for me. Sports betting is pretty boring about this time of the year. And After losing alot in casino games those suck.

                              I guess it depends on what you're gambling.. I'm usually really active during bball and hockey season, but I have a huge slowdown during MLB season

                                          I don't gamble near as much as I used to.....Being out of work doesn't help matters at all.

                                          Rather spend my extra money playing discounted golf nowadays.

                                            I appreciate the compliment, but to me right now its like overeating. If you do it too much, you just feel yuck after a while. Like I was telling my wife last night, I feel like a winner by not even doing it right now while I'm feeling the way I do.

                                                  it's good to step away from time to time --- if only to prove to yourself you can do it.
