Being a great live bet player esp in baseball I find, is more like pretty much guaranteeing yourself money, so it's not gambling. Not so much in NBA or hockey.
Could I tail you tomorrow in mlb live bet please? :)

I started sports betting this year and it has been the biggest mistake I've ever made. I got sucked in so hard by lucky parlay wins and losing by 1 or 2 games in a parlay and kept thinking "I'll hit it tomorrow".
I maxed out 2 credit cards to the tune of 15k on betdsi. Then, like a POS, I borrowed the money from my mom and was supposed to pay off the cards, which I did. And then the thoughts crept right back in... "You can win your money back, pay back mom, etc etc" and I TURNED RIGHT AROUND AND MAXED THEM AGAIN.
I'm paycheck to paycheck now, betting and betting and betting and trying to hit one lucky parlay that will help me to repair some of the damage I've done. Crazy 7-8-9-10 team parlays that have like no chance of hitting.
I'm sitting here typing all this and I know that what I am doing is wrong but I can't stop. I lost a 7 teamer tonight that would have paid out 8k by 2 runs in the Texas/Houston game. And I'm sitting here, like an idiot, placing more bets.
I'm not sure how it is that I know I have a problem and I know I need to stop, but I just can't do it. I keep chasing and chasing and losing and losing and I guess pretty soon I will be literally penniless and then hopefully I can try to get out of this cycle. I justify it by saying that if I stop now, I'm broke anyway, the only way to make this right is to hit something big and then quit. Stupid.
Sorry for this, but maybe typing it out will help.
Oh, so the answer to your question is No, I cannot. :-I

I've been gambling for 30+ years and I wasn't in control the first 10 years. Back then I could win huge but the next day lose everything.. Today it's more relaxed and I am way better to cash out in time and stop gambling for months. Taking a break now and then is essential for me.

Been is similar situation. Definitely have to forget about the past losses if you are bm going to continue. Start with clean slate. If you keep track of what you have lost up to this point you will continue to chase the big parlays which are rarely ever gonna hit. Parlays will crush your soul and your bank account. Think about it this way...all you are doing is letting the original bet plus the winnings ride on the next game in the parlay. You could theoretically make the same amount by betting one game at a time then wagering the winnings plus original bet again. Repeat this for 7-10 times in a row is highly unlikely. Stick with 2 maybe 3 game parlays max.

Gambling has cost me a lot of money too, but I really enjoy it. So, I tried to do it more professionally by registering every bet in a spreadsheet, betting only a small percentage of my available money etc. But as soon as I got into a bad streak and started losing money, I went back into 'chasing mode' :( Chasing destroys you, mostly because it's pretty hard to stop if you're not winning. You just keep lying to yourself that tomorrow will be the day...
Now, I'm trying to take a break... but I get pissed whenever I see scores of games I knew I would have won if I had placed a bet (for some reason, this always seem to happen just when you decide to stop/take a break)

Bet just enough to get that nice satisfying thrill when you win and if you lose it should sting a little but not send you into a panic on how you're gonna make the house or car payment. For me that has settled in at right around $200 a game. I done win huge but don't lose too much either and I'm in action year-round without having to constantly reload my account.
No need to outrun the bear...just the next slowest guy
