January 1st, 2014 I quit online sports betting (I still bet sports
during my trips to Vegas). This was after a horrible Oct - Dec where
not only would I lose, but a lot of my losses were bonified 
's.
By bonified I mean a real moose, not the watered down moose's you see
on this board where basically any loss is considered one. I am talking
about freak occurrences or last second play calling that goes completely
against the logic of the game.
I was fine January through May because I was in a place in the world where it was not convenient to bet. When I got back to the states, I was fine because it was Baseball season and even though I bet it in the past, it is not something I was really passionate about.
My BIG worry was the start of football season. In the past I got the college and NFL Sunday Ticket sports packages through Direct TV and on Saturday and Sunday I would have two receivers and TVs set up in the living room betting games all day. I thought I would be miserable, or worse, relapse and start betting again.
Surprisingly after two weeks of CFB and one week of NFL, I find myself not missing it one bit. What helps is reading the NFL message board and seeing all the bad beats and usual b ullsh it that happens in CFB and the NFL every week.
So if you are considering getting out, if I can do it so can you! Also keep those entertaining threads coming in the CFB and NFL section, they serve as great reminders not to get back into this bullshi t
