A rare rant from me. Venting.

@Rolexsports

 If you know you should only bet 1% or so within your bankroll, then there is no reason to chase. Learn bankroll management in a way that you can get behind.   The only way you learn to be disciplined with your bankroll is losing your ass.  You'll learn then!  or...   Think of your bankroll as a child.... a young baby... so to speak.  Like, will that child get food today, milk, etc.?  Or, think of it as a high roll poker game where you put your house or car on the line and only have a three of a kind.  Whatever you can think of that might apply to you for control.   Control is self-learned.  No 'partner' can save you from yourself.  Only you can... even if you join gamblers' anonymous or whatever.  Only YOU!  That's my opinion.  Gl in the future!

On a much smaller scale, I have been there---couldn't stomach endign the night on a losing note so would chase, but many time I would win those chase bets, espcially when alchoho had me in a "fuckit" mode; the old addage of, " You should only bet what you can afford to lose is correct as far as it goes, but oftimes one has to go all in to pull out of a tailspin, and it does work...until it doesnt---mostly now though im messing around, brely even betting, the thrill not really there

Great way of looking at it TDH. Love your analogy. Never heard it like that before. I don’t need GA , I need to get disciplined like it was yesterday. I can stop anytime I want because I don’t depend on gambling money for my bills and lifestyle but, the extra money I can make is like having another well paying full time job if I do this the right way. The child analogy you stated will stick with me. Thank you 

I was just in that area a while back, with a band I do work for. I can’t remember the area of DC. that they call it, but it was at a club called the 9:30 Club. We had some amazing Ethiopian food down the street from there

I feel you Warrenator. I’m sure everyone here has been through it. In this book I’m reading, he says “ never assume you’re going to win” “ know you’re going to win “. Meaning , if you’re second guessing your wager, don’t wager on that particular game . Only bet on a game that you feel 100 % on, win or lose. I’m smart enough to fix this crap, and I’ll do it. Now being arrogant or anything, I just know I can be a really long term bettor with a good win %

Been to the 9:30 club many times man ! That place is legendary. Been there for years . Yes lots of Ethiopians in the DMV and they have beautiful women and great food. Nice D ! 

@LVTruck

 OMG!!!

Oh yeah bro! I get AROUND 

@Rolexsports

 You're more than welcome.  It's really all about perspective.  There's an art to gambling....  your mind is 97% of it. 

Nice D ! Hit me up when you’re here man ! We will meet up for sure. 

Yeah TDH that shit was funny , had to laugh myself. He’s an ass hole though lol

No doubt TDH , only going to wager 3.5 % of my roll from here on out. Will win more bets than I lose and just build at a much slower pace. Will be boring at first, but at least I won’t feel like a heathen. Thanks folks , going to bed now. GL to all …

Rolex-

I remember having lunch with you at the Blue Ridge grill.

If you want to talk, hit me up if you have my number...or catch me at MGM.

Listen to TDH...her words are Sage- Like....Mich D knows his stuff as you know.

 .

Cheers

GMU , I’ll be at Blue Ridge today @ 2pm for a meeting. Getting back involved in flipping houses again. If you’re around, pull up. If not, I’ll scroll through my text messages and see if I see your info. Thanks man ! 

@ 777 yes you’re absolutely right ! I take screen shots the night before to watch line movement. You’re right about your advice in sticking with your particular wager and move on with the rest of my day. It’s the greed. I’ll when a couple grand early and then , I’ll choose my next play so I and really have a good day, but if the second play loses , I’m already down. From now on I’m wagering my POD and call it a day , win or lose. The way I won almost 50 k in 5 months shows that I’m good at picking winners but, also shows that I can definitely be a cowboy. Stopping the greed is what I’m doing from here on out. 

Good stuff rolex

@Rolexsports

 I can't get out that way today but if you want to set something up for next week or the following week maybe in Tysons, let me know.

@Rolexsports

 BOL in finding what you're looking for. 

Thanks 32 & 007. 

Okay cool. GMU. Early next week, I’ll be around. Going to Boston on Thursday for a couple days. If we miss each other next week, I’ll be around pretty much all June . I believe “ The Buddah “ also lives in our area. 

@Rolexsports

 Honestly only you can teach yourself discipline

It’s human nature to get back what you lost.  The key is to never bet more then what you can afford to loose.  Write that down and every time you go to the window to make a bet remind yourself 

No doubt 84 ! The thing about is , which is a major Blessing!! I’ve always been able to make great money from early on. I need to respect money a lot more than I have been. Through the grace of God, I’ll keep getting older and will need money more than ever. No more acting reckless. Done with it. I’m not going to stop wagering anytime soon so I have no choice but, to discipline myself and win. That extra income is no joke! I derailed after throwing a whopper on the Suns game 4 thinking they wouldn’t get the sweep and after that loss, it went all down hill . 11k to win 10k ! What a dumb play on my behalf. Never again, I’ve promised myself that. Some good people here, and I appreciate the positive feedback. 

@Rolexsports

Lets plan for later in the month or June.

..be well

GMU let’s meet after Memorial weekend. We can meet in Tysons area. Ever been to J . Gilbert’s ? Great steakhouse man !! 

Sorry for being a dick last night, I try my best not to be rude.

The I can win a just need a partner, When I'm drinking get's a auto response.

Anyway, long story short... BOL 

All good LV ! I know you got a sense of humor man , I’ve visited your threads before. All in fun. Had a laugh myself. Good luck dude. 

@Rolexsports

 Love j gilberts...lets go when I get a 'deal' offer which is several times a month.

See you in june.
