Done Gambling For Good FML

Golden State is getting 3.5 points against Cleveland. Put your life's savings on the Warriors +3.5. In Steph we trust.

Stop going all in. 

I did a three team teaser but for a lot less.  Why wouldn't you have done Butler -1?  They rarely lose at home and were coming off of a loss.  I stayed away from the Baylor game b/c too risky.  Anyone could win that game, and Baylor has the potential to make all of those shots.

I wasn't giving him money for good karma. I help people out all the time. I feel better now than I did earlier. Just a big money swing. My parlays are conservative because I'm buying so many points. Up 8 w/ 7 to go, when you have the home team +7 and push wins too, you don't expect to lose like that. Total meltdown.

And yes going all in is dumb. But had I taken Baylor or Iowa State +9, I'd have won. They are pretty conservative parlays. Oakland & Northern Iowa to win at home as double digit faves isn't hard. Iowa state melted down. And it seemed rigged. Baylor hit 6 straight 3's & Cyclones went stone cold. I'm 24 and look like I'm 40 from all this gambling. I do have balls and am still up on the year, but tonight sucks. No way around it. Don't need to kick me while I'm down. I've hit these parlays all year. Just happened to lose my big ones.

I didn't take butler because I had two eight teamers on Saturday with butler +16.5 at Xaiver, 2500 a piece to win 2500. They lost by 17. Half a point...10K swing. I can't take the swings anymore. I'm an NFL capper & this loss will change my life for a while. Luckily I depostited that 4K I got from 5dimes today, but damn I was gonna cash another 4K tomorrow.

Appreciate yall letting me vent. From these past 4 days the swings in this and poker are taking a toll on me. It's not healthy. 20K either way. I'm not Billy Walters, just an average 24 year old student trying to win some WSOP money. I played in Main Event when I was 21.

3k on a 6 team parlay ?, Bet a nickel a game against the spread n u will see da difference in a week.

TAKE A BREAK

Dr.Phil is right :P

A tell tell mistake. I think as a poker player, you should know when to risk and when to play conservative. So to be honest, I think this was Vegas' way of seeing your bluff and you have no one else to blame but yourself. One of the best traits a poker player has is their control. The best cappers out there possess that same exact trait. That's why you will hear "always bet the same amount" about a million times. Can't look at Sports betting like cards. One's a marathon and the other is sometimes a sprint. Keep your head together and you'll be fine. Something tells me you already know every bit of this so Good luck from here on out.

Parlays are for suckers. Don't buy points, don't bet heavy fav MLs. Make straight bets. If you have $3000, bet $100 per game. Why do crazy parlays and complain about losing? Makes no sense.

If it was that crazy of a parlay it would've been 3000 to win like 20000, not 3000 to win 3100, f*ck stick....

It's a sick 6100 dollar swing on the last team when they're up 8 w/ 7 minutes to go and Baylor makes 6 threes & Iowa State finishes without a FG the final 5 minutes & gets outscored 25-8. There's no other way around it. I've made more money than you have this year so don't tell me how to bet. Just because you've never made a 3K wager before doesn't mean you have to be salty at me. Betting -12 point home faves to just win the game isn't as far fetched as you think.

A team who's won 55 of 57 at home getting 7 should be good..especially up 8. But I should've taken Baylor or the over. The over was my play of the day as stated in another thread. It's a sick moose I don't think you understand how sick it was. I've hit plenty of these parlays on the year.

I love how f*cking rude people are after taking a bad beat like this. I'm not complaining, I'm stating it's the worst bad beat I've ever taken. Keep betting your 25 dollars a game, bro.

Not being rude. Parlays are for suckers, period.

Guess all those are sucker bets, too.

Iowa State was the wrong side tonight. Sucks they couldn't hit one shot down the stretch or I'd be 6K richer. Instead this is how it goes.

Are you telling me you win more than you lose on these parlays?

If you truly believe that, keep doing heavy favorite 6 team parlays for thousands of dollars.

What about the ones you lost? Like the one where Baylor hit 5 3-pointers. Stop making retarded parlays buying 15 points in college games. Even the professionals are unpredictable.

If the money is gonna change your life, don't bet it if you can't handle it. Apparently you have a gambling problem.

Do what you think is right, It's your money. Honestly no one cares when you lose but you. That my friend is no lie.

Not trying to be a dick or anything but man where is your bankroll management? I play a whole lot of poker too and I'm 23 and I'll bet on a few games a week during basketball and football season but you gotta be more carefull with your bankroll. Losing 3k is never going to be easy but if you have 60k+ it makes it a hell of a lot easier to swallow. It also doesn't help when you think it's a for sure play by buying 14 points that's going to throw you on even worse tilt and in all honestly if you're barely getting 1 to 1 odds is it even worth it? It was a shitty break tonight for you and maybe this is the strategy you wanna keep going with and that's cool but unfortunately sometimes guys that are even younger than us are going to have bad games and blow a huge bet but best of luck man I think you'll bounce back. I think I've seen some of your hands on sharemypair but just be careful with the roll and you'll do alright.

You bet a 6-team parlay, that basically paid even money if it hit?  Oh dear!

Single bets bub!

face the truth gambling is a losing cause....we cant stop...we have some big hits here and there but the only thing that matters is your overall lifetime figure....,,imagine if you worked on a job for 20 years and at the end you where in the negative with your pay   thats how sick this can be

My advice from personal experiences....take it or leave it. If you are in gambling to make money in the long run....that is probably going to be a losing proposition....especially betting parlays and buying points. That being said....if you are into gambling for fun or for a little rush....then do whatever the hell you want and don't listen to peoples advice on what bets to make. I personally can't imagine betting 3k on any given bet though. I put in $100 at the beginning of college basketball and am now at $700 betting whatever the hell I want if I like it. I make a good living and I just do this for fun and a little rush, so obvious my bets are very small, but I still get that great feeling winning and if I lose I feel nothing and I can bet parlays if I like, buy points, etc and don't care what people say. My advice is to either quit or try this way of gambling. Even if I lose it all...I will have had probably 4 or 5 months of entertainment for $100. Can't beat that.
