I've been executing a profitable system for over 3 years now.  It has provided more than enough income to pay the bills, and improve my family's quality of life.  It has been an excercise in discipline & money management.  My "regular job" is merely a diversion to those around me, because they have no clue that I'm knee deep in sports wagering.  I have full disclosure with my wife, yet my feel for the whole industry is dirty, and there is no "service to society" when I'm grinding away to increase bankroll.  I know this posting screams "tout", but I'm not about to sell anyone the stragety.  Believe me, over the years, I've lost thousands, been on the losing end of a half dozen 2K bankrolls due to emotional or iladvised picks.  All those lows made me a much better gambler, and now I wager more than in those days, and I don't even watch the game.  Because I trust the math, the emotion of the game, or gamblers high isn't necessary.  My question is this; I'm a very private person, and could easily take this to my grave.  I feel a need to share it.  What would you do?  Psychiatrist?  Can they turn you in for admission of illegal activity?

You've already shared it. 

With the most important person on this Earth. 

Your wife.

You owe no explanation to anyone else.

Psychologist.  Psychiatrists are for actual mental disorders and prescribing drugs.

Highly unlikely you could get "turned in" for talking to a shrink about gambling.  A decent psychologist with integrity would stake their career on patient confidentiality.  You sound like you have some money, so the health system should be pretty open to you.  You can try out different therapists for as long as you can afford until you find one you feel comfortable/safe with to talk about the hardcore details.  Talk to your GP and get a recommendation.

That's not healthy advice man.  If it's bothering him enough to place a post on here about it, clearly bottling it up isn't the answer. 

And f.k that wife noise unless your wife is holding a PhD.  People pay shrinks because they are trained to deal with a person's psyche and apparently it helps improve a lot of people's lives.  A wife can't be expected to help with that ish.

Whats the problem? You are winning and your old lady is cool with the gambling. You arent doing anything illegal. Stop worrying so much and enjoy life.

What's the matter? You bothered?
You're a practicing scholar !
Stack dollars or put em in your mattress or socks worst
Thing that could happen
You could piss , have an accident
Many Benjamin franklins in liquid that stanks a bit
Clinging to the tit of " is this wisdom should I unshackle it ? "
I mean holy hell what the fuckk
Expose how you've grown your wealth trust in us
If not
Then kick rocks
While wearing a gold Rolex diamonds shining in the light
It's fine I'll be to the side defeated just cryin ridin my bike.....

Why dont you share your system with covers.com. This board needs someone with a reliable system.

You should definitely pass the system on to your covers-brothers...it'll help you get all that stress and 'pressure' off your chest.  (you'll get to tell your secret, while helping some less fortunate make some money).

Besides, it's not like sharing it with a large handful of us would really take away from all the THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS you're making.

Not really sure what to make of your comment.  You think a shrink better understands a man's psyche and can help better than his lifelong soul mate?  Really?  You must be a very lonely and confused person with some highly misplaced priorities in your life.  Actually feel pity for you not knowing how a successful marriage can bring a fullness and complete tranquility into your life journey.

Yep, every wife is a "soul mate".  That's why divorce rates creep towards 60%.  But yeah, there's no question a trained psychotherapist is better equipped to handle a man or womans psyche than their current partner.

Quality post though.  I bet you felt good about yourself typing out that last bit.

somedayIsuppose:  I feel good about everything I type on covers.  If somebody wants an honest answer, they know they can ask me because I don't pull any punches.  The truth is the truth,   no games played here.  BTW, I am in Wethersfield, CT.  You and a guest have a standing invitation for lunch or dinner at Foxwoods with Wifey and myself at Cedars or Burke Prime, on my comp account of course.  Just PM me.

Why don't you post your system? I'm serious. Do you think that it will take over Covers' by storm and the 30 regulars here will take it over by storm and alter your lines? I'm not trying to be a jerk, but if you can help people (especially a select few that pay attention/care/try to win money) then why not do it?

ad1260, Already had an online book turn away my action.  Concealing the system extends it's life.  One of my favorite shows, "Breaking Vegas", features people who had the key to there dreams, but sold it or got others involved, all based in greed to get bigger.  Steady amounts of non-traceable, tax free income, should answer your question.
