    This is just a small thing but I find that if I play live I do better.

    I get a feel for the game and can bet with a better perspective.

    The only other thing I would say is that if you are betting for the

    "thrill" of it........lower your wagers.  You'll still get that rush that

    you need without breaking the bank.

    I'm truly sorry to hear about your problem. I'm going to give you the best advice you will get from anyone. You will NEVER get that money back. Lick your wounds, find a gamblers anonymous and attend their meetings. If need be see a shrink. You are no different than an alcoholic. Like they can't take that 1st drink and never drink again, you can't make that 1st bet and never bet again. If you can accept that you might go on to live a happy life if you can't your life will be a living hell.. Your choice!!

    Quit gambling and buy Bitcoin. You're still gambling but not in a traditional way. Play it right and you could make it all back and then some. You don't have to buy in whole coins. Any fraction(s) there of will add up. Very volatile, unregulated market, at the moment.

    I think most are chasing some losses.
    The only thing great about being down 40K is its not 80K,
    Think about it... At one time your story was you're down 20K
    or even 10K. Now its 40K and if you continue itll soon be 80K,
    Stop,, Forgive yourself first. Let all the blaming yourself go.
    And ask yourself do you want to be telling this same story in a couple of years as chasing 80K?
    Im at about 15K and your story makes me wanna stop.
    its just too easy and painful to continue this ugly hobby.
    Good Luck Man! Mr Down 80K or Mr. Live & Learn your choice.

    I think most are chasing some losses.
    The only thing great about being down 40K is its not 80K,
    Think about it... At one time your story was you're down 20K
    or even 10K. Now its 40K and if you continue itll soon be 80K,
    Stop,, Forgive yourself first. Let all the blaming yourself go.
    And ask yourself do you want to be telling this same story in a couple of years as chasing 80K?
    Im at about 15K and your story makes me wanna stop.
    its just too easy and painful to continue this ugly hobby.
    Good Luck Man! Mr Down 80K or Mr. Live & Learn your choice.

    I'm guessing youre about 60 or older.  You have lived 3/4 of your life and lost only 40K.  Think of it as fees you pay for all these years of excitement.  Money will be irrelevant to you someday anyways so keep doing what you enjoy.

    okay...for me...I just wager on football...NCAA / NFL....is that good?..yes and no....yes because i guess you could say im just a seasonal "sports investor". (LOL)...and no, because Im limited to taking full advantage of how the pro's do it by enabling them to find values from the entire sports selections(ie: NHL, Baseball, Basketball, Soccer...etc.)....yes I have had my ups and downs,,,it sure is nice to collect $6,000.00 back to back weeks from your bookie, but yes, I'll admit,,,,,I have lost more then I have won, over my last 15 years of wagering.... I guess you could say it's just a drug for me....but sort of "under control" because I just do football......HERE IS THE ONLY TIP OR ADVICE THAT I CAN SHARE WITH YOU.....(YOU MIGHT THINK THIS SOUNDS CRAZY....but you will never know till you give it a try and experiment with it......LET'S SAY FOR EXAMPLE..that I lose on average about $5000 a season...(after season...after season...after season...LOL)....Hmmmmmmmm....what would happen....if......I just flipped my bets...??? (example....pick the opposing team of your choice.....Hmmmmm.....wouldnt that turn and flip those losing weeks into winning weeks ????? (note: I am a player that will usually do about 50+ plays a week).......I have been trying this myself and all I can say is it has cut my yearly $5000 losses down,,,,and there was a year that I came out +$22,000 ahead....GOOD LUCK  my friend, I hope you give it a try and have positive results......

    Simple. Start practicing strategies without wagering. Focus on figuring out how to win, as opposed to the stimulation or thrill.

    And when I talk about figuring out how to win, I'm talking about selection and managing your money.

    your goal should be to make $20k one year from now…

    so Oct 21, 2018 is your "goal date"…

    start today…goal is 500$ per week…

    bet $250 per game….that should be your "unit"…

    +2 units hits the goal every week…

    if you hit your first 2 plays STOP for the week….

    repeat next week….

    if you are disciplined you can make it work…if you're an action junkie and can't hold back on amount of wagers you make you are destined to lose…

    good luck

    Only bet 2-3 games per day and........

    If you make a $1,000,000 a year in business you should be a $300/$500 bettor.

    If you make a $100,000 a year in business, you should be a $30/$50 bettor.

    If you make $50,000 a year in business, you should be a $15/$25 bettor.

    That is your formula for not losing more that you can afford.  The problem with most people is that they only make  $50,000 per year and they think they can bet $500 per game.

    BOL!
