Started with 11K how long ago? And how much are you wagering per? I'm gonna be real with you. Sports betting, gambling in general, is kind of like singing. Most people know that they can't, so they just don't try. Maybe they mess around here and there, but nothing too serious. Then there's a small group that thinks they can but an even smaller group that actually can. If you have to ask the questions you're asking then you should really give it up. Maybe take up singing. You're not gonna lose anything of value butchering karaoke night.
Just get out bro. Betting is clearly giving you stress and angst and just isn't worth it if you can't control your bets and lost 5K in a week.
The way I see it, the highs of winning (when it happens) are not as fun or enjoyable compared to how shiity the feeling is when you have a losing week. Its funny the way our (my) brain works. When you lose your fuckkin pissed and regret betting because you could have spent that money elsewhere, likely on something that is more significant. Whereas, when you win a bet or have a winning week, its easy to be pissed or unhappy for "not having bet more" or something similar. Bottom line - its a lose/lose. The best way to approach it is what GG said - a hobby and for entertainment purposes only, which is perfectly fine because sports and sports betting are DAMN FUN and entertaining!! Take some time off and don't even watch sports for the next week or two. The break works wonders for your psyche and mental health. Good luck man
Agreed with these guys. Keep your money and spend it elsewhere. Novice gamblers may as well play the slots. People who actually make money on sports betting are disciplined and use their eyes to help determine outcomes. Almost all of my best bets are a result of following a certain team for a length of time and trying to understand their tendencies, strengths, and faults. Also keep a close tab on the local beat writers for that team, never what the national media has to say. It's hard, but if you treat it as an interesting hobby it can be fun and profitable.
One possible explanation for your losses is that you have bad karma...you like to jump around here into many peoples threads very frequently bashing and trolling their picks when they lose...you worry too much about what other people are doing and not spending enough time capping your own games...thats one explanation...another is your overusage of the rolling face laughing emoji...that too brings bad karma from the way you use it...another explanation is that youre a racist based on many things you have said on this site...thus more bad karma.
I for one hope you lose it all because thats what people like you deserve in the end...your best move is to quit now while you still have something left because 100% you will lose it all if you keep gambling.
