You can't consume yourself with it. It should just be a fun hobby for you. If you're looking to make a living out of it, you're in it for the wrong reason. Lower your ammounts to even where if you're losing it's not impacting you financially. I know the feeling you are talking about and have been there recently after telling myself I'd never do it again. Good luck buddy. -
My old man says anything you put money in and make money is to much like a job.Make it a Hobby and have fun.Bet what you don't mind losing and keep it at that number.If gambling was my job I would have got fired along time ago.Originally posted by deltaforce

I just read this and it kind of makes me nervous. You guys are very experienced and fall into this mode. What the hell can I expect? Does it become an addiction to most or can some be disciplined through the bad times too? I have been at it for 4.5 months now and I am still slightly underwater. Maybe after football season I will stop. Is there anyone who wins over time? Or is it true like my fathere says "I am just pissing my hard earned money away and I will learn the hard wayand I will NOT be there to bail you out" The old man is career military and old school. He tells it like it is and takes no shit. He was in the failed helicopter mission ordered by Carter and that is why my name is Deltaforce. He has never lied to me in my life and it is hitting me now he may be right.
Fuck. I love this shit, but seeing the likes of Chado (season vet) say this spooks me. Please, I know it is my decision, but any input would be appreciated. I find myself watching way too much TV/ESPN, skipping Ju-Jitzu, negelecting my chick and still not making $$. Man, it is so hard to look at objectively. When Chado wrote that it was exactly what I was doing the 1st 3 months. The last month I have not and still am losing, but not compounding them.
Like tonights game. I was thinking OSU and now I am thinking LSU.
Man my head is spinning.Leave a comment:

this BCS title game scares me. Does anyone else think that everyone is on Ohio st. just like everyone was on OU last week.
OU was suppose to get revenge after losing to Boise st. and they got smoked.
Ohio st is suppose to get revenge for losing to FLA last year and whats gonna happen???Leave a comment:

I think you're right. Kinda hard not to play some halftimes though when you're sitting in the in-game threads with Bryce and Sundevil and they're throwing all sorts of plays at youOriginally posted by Chado1

Exactly and making a big late game bet based on the outcome of a previous loser earlier....Originally posted by kbsooner21
If I just place all my bets in and all for the same amount on every bet regardless of the situation of how much I like it this may work...gonna try that as hard as it may be....also gonna try to not make any more bets regardless of how the night or day starts off...make them all in the morning and thats FINAL for the day....good idea I think.....Leave a comment:

Yea, I found myself doing a lot of that as well. Sitting there watching a game and thinking, this is a loser at halftime and trying to chase the loss in the 2nd half only to end up with 2 losses instead of 1...Originally posted by Chado1Leave a comment:

Also I think I need to figure out a specific bet amount and NEVER regardless of how much I may like a game and regardless of the situation always bet the same amount on everything....never make big bets EVER....I know Spark never makes huge bets....flat unit straight boring gambler....I wish I could do that.....Leave a comment:

You bring up a really good point because I have thought of that too cause nights where I make a bunch of bets and then go out for the night and come home its a lot better. Its the ones where I am home all night make bets after bets based on the outcome of previous bets and what have you that gets me in trouble.....great point.....Originally posted by kbsooner21Leave a comment:

Just relax. Put in all your plays in the morning/early afternoon and don't log back into your account to give you a chance to bet anything else.Leave a comment:

Like I said I am not losing more than I can afford or anything and am totally fine as I found that out the hard way in my younger years so I dont go as far as to make that mistake again but I just find it hard sometimes to maintain my acct balance for an extended period of time unless I withdrawl quickly after I get up....
The feedback I am getting here is overwhelming.....

Its not like I am losing my ass as I still have money and stuff so I guess thats something I have learned cause I am not putting everything in a deposit but just wondering how some of you seasoned veterans handle this and how you guys bet?Leave a comment:
