Gambling has Stressed me out...

[The Lovedoc]

I may be looked at in a different light now, but I have lowered my wagers considerably.. Ever since i joined this site i have been a $100-$200 dollar bettor, but mainly 100.. I have gone though a horrible month losing everything i touch and when i lose that game or games i get alot of stress. For me it's just not worth it anymore. I sit home and dont even bother going out cause i'm in a bad mood. I have lowed all my wagers down to $25.. Hell, i dont care even if i bet $10 a game.. Dont get me wrong.. There are really 2 reasons why i gamble.

1. To win money
2. Because i enjoy looking and researching these games.

Like somebody on here who has it in there signature.. "Betting is a Marathon and not a race". Damn, how true is that... I was always going for the big hit and it has cost me.

I never gamble with money i dont have and honestly thats the only good thing going for me right now. I have done everything bad this past month... example... cherry picking cappers on here and just betting stupid amounts of money. I have now stuck with 1 person and hopefully things will turn out for the good. Some of you members on here might be in the same boat i'm in right now.. Just dont give up and i see nothing wrong with betting $10-$25 on a game.

Please give me your thoughts on this...

Thanks
Doc

I say bet whatever you feel comfortable betting. I bet lots of games and i'm just looking for an overall profit at days end. I can't bet all that money on one or two games. It stresses me out and going (0-2) would hurt. This way i usually have other sports that will carry one if it's down. It works well for me!

Gambling is a vice I wish I had never discovered.

That is the God's honest truth and I believe it's true for at least 80% of the people that frequent this site. The ironic combination of competition and stubborness in many bettors is one of the worst things in the world.

I feel ya doc, this football season has given me first hand experience of being on "tilt"

But, the awesome thing is, there is always tomorrow, and there is always next week. I don't mean that as far as winning bets, I mean that about getting out of the game that consumes all of our lives! Many of us need to WAKE UP.

JMO, please don't make any judgements from my post, I am a grown man.

Wayne,

You are dead on.. When i joined this site, it felt like everyone here bets $100 to $400 on a game.. From that vibe, i was doing the same..

Doc I was just telling a buddy today that was having a tough time to play $25 a game .. He was playing just about what you are .. he will see how much more fun it would be .. use this as a recreation .. not to get rich cause that will not happen ...this is a tough game and to be in it for a long time can take a hold of you .. i think you are doing the right thing .. Good Luck pal ..

Thanks Spark.. I believe i'm doing the right thing also.. I want to go out and dont want to worry about a game.. Usually when i play a game, i have to watch it.. But, by doing this, this will make me more relaxed and less stressed..

P.S. you got mail

I've been on both ends of the spectrum...and believe me I'm so much more happier that I've gone to flat betting.

It's one unit...no matter how strong I feel a game is no matter how much I LOVE it...I'm putting one unit on it...no more no less.

That marathon not a sprint comment is one of my credo's....that's what I preach to my guys day in and day out. Those who are looking to get rich quick in this industry will fail I feel 95% of the time.

But if you take the time and treat this like an investment, I think you could be really be successful, and you might even raise your unit wagers before you know it.

You know how to get ahold of me if you need anything...I hope have a killer weekend.
