Im past devasted - I RETIRE AGAIN - Lost $$$ 2600 today

Im so numb with this whole situation.

Called my book and cancelled my online account... LOST 26 units / $2600 bucks today and im totally done...

Today i bet:

LAL - 3 first half = 3 units

SA - 3.5 Second half = 3 units

SA/NJ over 92 second half = 3 units

UTAH - 5.5 (bought half a point) = 4 Units

UTAH / NYK over 108 Second half = 11 Units

Youv'e gotta be tough to hang around in this game and its finally gottten to me....

to go 0-6 for the day breaks me.. and to run it all in the UTAH / NYK game goes for 27 points in the 4th.. WTF

GL ALL - If i ever return it will not be under this user name as it is a curse... Hence why i call myself the cooler...

IM OFF TO FIND MY NEAREST GA MEETING TONIGHT.. i have to stop this shit or i'll be on the streets shortly....

GL to those that enjoy this and actually treat it as a bit of fun.. clearly i dont know how to do this and the joke has to stop now...

Sorry left out:

DAL vs DEN Over 104.5 First half... = 3 Units

What a run...

Thanks NBA and Gambling you've cost me easily over 200 K easily but this is maybe just what i need to save another 200 K for the years to come !!

Chasing =

I need some rehab time on the sidelines.... today was brutal and it is a bitter pill to swallow...

Id say im fairly close to ROCK BOTTOM at the moment so stoping now should be possible...

Oh to add to this my Partner is going back to the UK because of this same issue..

I HAVE TO FIX THIS SHIT UP FOR GOOD !!

hey dude im sorry to here that and i think you should take some time off as well and make some money with an actual job (not to be funny) and regroup like someone said and come back using smaller units at first. youll get hot again.  It could be worse man think about it like this its only money.  although it can hurt pretty badly there are worse things that can happen. BOL with your future endeavors.   stay up bro

You have two choices;

You can gamble and lose another 200K.

You can stop and maybe save your life.

Gambling addiction has the highest suicide rate of all habits. 

That money is gone, never coming back.  Remember that.

If i earn 80+ a year and have been gambling for 10 years now and would say that i easily lose 20K a year then its not hard to equate to $200 K..

20 K is only $384 per week... Very possible.. if i caclulated it would be more then 200K when you include racing / Online poker etc etc..its horrible and a total abstinence is required.

Its very depressing man, i should have a good house and be debt free but no I have an addiction that gets the better of me !

I dont think i can do small units, it has to be nothing...

thanks for the kind words guys !

AUSSIE COOLER, I looked at your six plays and with the exception of the last one you posted, those were all terrible bets (sucker bets is what we call them here).  You're making a good decision by walking away.  Don't forget the pain and ridiculousness of this night.  Let it be a reminder to you that this will happen all over again should you choose to bet NBA games again in the future. 

A lot of unsuccessful gamblers sometimes talk about quitting, but few of them really mean it.  Here's hoping you mean it.

And it's not like we don't enjoy your company, but if sports betting has become a joyless, expensive hobby, it's time to do better things with your days and nights.

if i flipped a coin it would be hard to go 0-6... i did it today with my bets and it was all me... no one to blame..

Its good to get some opinions though.. please if u have one then just say...

good advice, and i dont think i would be down $450 K thats not realistic. 200 K is and it is very depressing..

Im going to GA tomorrow night to start sorting this shit out..

umm davydenko ??? Tennis is possible more dodgy then NBA... so easy for a good player to play a shit game...

Andy murray losing to Mardy Fish... WTF... Tennis is dodgy too and no guarantee...

Please keep posting you thoughts / opionions.. Im going to print this thread as motivation to stop and to keep reminding me of the day that the COOLER IN me exposed itself and totally Fucked me !!
