What's going on Covers Fam. Would love to hear some insight and feedback from others regarding this question. As for myself, I suffered my worst single day loss Saturday night after 13 years of betting. ($1,300 on two ingame plays in NBA). Sometimes it's not about what we know, but implementing what we know and staying discliplined in your approach. I went against the age old adage of there are no such thing as GUARENTEED LOCKS and never CHASE a big loss. Well, needless to say I figued Celtics was a lock to beat Bulls in game via ML. They may not cover but they surely will win. Wrong I was. Frustrated, doubled down on Warriors in game to beat Rockets. No way they will lose to Rockets at home who are missing their star player in Harden...wrong again. Nonetheless, I would love to also hear how you guy's bounced back and mentally regrouped after a huge loss? Thanks ahead of time Fam. GL!
Like all types of gambling, you have your highs, and lows. The old saying, there is always someone worse off than you, easily gets me back to level, and you have your life, that outweighs everything. I was playing college basketball in Los Angeles area and was in great shape as a point guard,and scored 24 points in my last game. I went to the hospital the next day and had to have major surgery for cancer. Lost 30 pounds in 2 months, from 172lbs. I thought I could still make the Pro's in baseball so I went to play at a local college about a year later , still only about 50 % recovered. But it returned ,almost killed me. Had another major surgery. So I was on disability, and went to Vegas with my Aunt. Living on 535.00 a month, I told her I would go but I could only spend 20 bucks. This was many years ago,and I usually played real money, nickels in the slots. On the way there I told her you know what, when we get there I am going to play dollars on a progressive and get it over ,one way or the other. We went to the Sahara ,arrived about noon. We decide to gamble first before we ate the lunch buffet. As we walk in ,the cashier lady is right there. My aunt gives her 20,and gets a bucket of nickels,and leaves. I get 20 silver dollars ,and go the right . I see 576k over the progressive machines. I begin walking slowly down the aisle. 20 isn't much, I have to find the right machine. I take only about 5 steps down aisle and a loud bell goes off. I stop and think, how can the jackpot bell be going off , I am the only one here. I turn around and an old guy about 90 years came in from the heat and was happy to just sit down on the 3rd seat from the door. He pulled it 1 time , 3 dollars a pull, and hit the jackpot. I stood there frozen, in shock. I get over it by just being thankful to be alive. My Doctor told me the ball game was over back in 1980, after he put my x rays on the wall to show me what death looked like. What cash you lost seems like a lot to you, but just put it in perspective. If you have your health, and your life, you have so much potential to achieve things in life, and experience life in general, and that is way more important.
