So you were 99% sure Seattle was going to win by 10? You are going to lose everything because you know nothing about math, sports or money management, and next time I highly doubt Uncle Money Bags bails you out.

BOL.

As much as I hate him for being lucky enough to have an Uncle bail him out, I kind of agree with him on the money issue. At some point, the bets get so high, that you can't really tell how much it is. They are just numbers on a screen. I think once I put down $6 800 on a team, and it just felt normal because they were just numbers on the screen. There is no way I'd have bet that much if I saw it laid out in front of me in 20s and 100s. Even just $50 cash seems like a lot to me, but on a computer screen, it's pebbles.

I feel you are to young to understand life.............

My first year gambling I felt invincible. I turned $100 into 4k (and I did it the hard way using strict money management, no parlays, no chasing). My buddy kept telling me to cash out. I start a 3 game chase series (why? I don't know) against the Orioles after the all-star break against the Angels. The third game was Angels -170 something with Haren on the mound. I think my bet was like 1100 to win 700 or something like that. Of course it lost and I was down around 2 g's. Of course I went on tilt, started chasing, and blew it all. Luckily I learned my lesson and have built up a nice bankroll and have been cashing out winnings.

There's a reason why you posted this, right? I don't think you're feeling really happy about the bail-out, and if your uncle is real, well you got a break. Personally I would've started a small business or something and used that to pay out the debts plus saving the profits for the future. That's my opinion and I respect yours, and I hope you get what you need in the future.
