I thought the same thing, bootleg with Wilson, nobody's catching him with his moves.

It's undoubtedly causing me more stress than I need.
And it causes fights with my wife. 
She heard me talking on the phone about how much I lost and needless to say she wasn't happy. 

I hear ya, and have to agree with the sentiments. I find it hard to watch games at all, because of the stupidity and absurdity on the field.

Yes they should have run, and Wilson is a good candidate to run it in himself on a pass option. Hes great on busted plays too. It is hard to run for 1 yard on the goal line in the NFL--everyone's keyed in, and those are pros in there, not too many weaknesses.

I BLAME THE DEFENSE FOR NOT MAKING A STAND. They let Brady plunk dink dink passes all friggin night, and let Pats score w/o much of a fight. Should have been 24-21 final, or even 24-17 and hold to a FG.  Defense failed. And I believ def coordinator will be a head coach for Arizona or Miami--so he was outta focus.

15k bet on the Seahawks and they decide to get cute and do what you're NEVER supposed to do, put the ball in the air in that situation. 

And even if you decide to throw it why would you throw the riskiest type pass into a crowded area?
Absolutely mind boggling. 


So sorry to hear that, you seem to join Covers in 2009, so your thread seems to be very genuine.

Can I ask where did you place this $15,000 bet?
I'm asking because maybe there's a chance you get it back (if you used your credit-card for instance ... not that I support anyone to do that, but it's a lot of money).

Nah. It's with a local.
A friend of mine actually.
He takes bets up to 200k believe it or not.
He has some big players.
All NYC hedge fund managers type bettors.

The place you are in right now is garbage no question. Although it does seem like it, it will pass. Will get worse if you chase on dumb plays you wouldn't normally make.
 
Gambling sucks. If you are going to bet again which you undoubtedly will be patient. It seems like a million miles away right now and impossible but you can actually make that money back. You could also fall 10 times deeper in the hole you're in atm but hey, you're a gambler, you will gamble so no point telling you to quit.I believe you can make this money back though slowly but surely.
 
Manchester City money line into Chelsea money line would be your best bet to start in my opinion. You'll get about 60 percent return on top of your initial stake.
 
Best of luck pal.


I appreciate the advice but I'm dead serious about quitting for good.
Not even thinking about making another bet.
Maybe this loss has a silver lining to it in some twisted way.
I'm incredibly depressed right now and I vow to never feel that way again.

i could care less about rings they mean nothing to me Brady still sucks he threw little  dinky dunky passes nothing impressive 

He threw a pick in the Red Zone which took off either 3 or 7 points , then he throws a pick in the 3rd quarter that leads to 7 points , so he cost the patriots 10 to 14 points with his stupid INT's , if Seattle runs the ball at the 1 yd line they win the SB and  Brady's a goat again

15k is big money
lets say u win tonight, u will be happy and celebrate
but soon or later u will have a losing night like tonight
and u will say u will stop gambling
so that day came little early
we cant really stop until we really understand just the fact gambling is bad. when we lose its bad but when we win its all good
if u think that way , we will never stop gambling.
i had very tough moment but i never really understood, i still chasing wins.

I shared your story in my website:

https://www.gamblingstories.com/topic/68-2nd-of-february-2015-superbowl-last-night-but-i-placed-no-bets/

If it helps I'm collecting lots of stories like yours and also sharing mine ... this is for future gamblers to be aware of how gambling can be so bad in our generation.

There is no such thing as "money management", this entire establishment is built in a way that would make you cross all your "money management" borders:

If you can't handle losing a bet, then yes you should give up for good. The only question is whether you will win more than you lose. Because you will lose many more bets, much worse than this one too.

FYI, I checked out the gambling stories site. Needs some more content, heh. But as bad as 15k can seem. It's just relative. If you make 50k a year, 15k will seem wayyyyyyyyyy too much. But if you make a million a year, it's just a small dent.

Thanks for your feedback about my website.
Yes, I'm adding content from time to time when I find something related, but I admit I don't update it on a hourly basis or anything like that... at most it would be a few stories every once in a while.

Regarding the $15k loss, I'm not too sure how much this guy has, sounds to me with a very wild guess he has around $300,000 of equity, so $15k loss is a loss, no matter how you look at it... just 1 thing, I wouldn't call the local he places bets with a "friend", because he is not a "friend".

Everytime a sports bettor loses I always tell them to use money management. 31k is too much.

1. Money management. Bet less than 5% of your total current bankroll per bet. Be discipline.

For example:
If your total bankroll is $2000.
5% of your $2000 is $100.
If you lose your $100 bet, now you have $1900.
5% of your $1900 is $95.
Now you bet $95 instead of $100 because of your total current bankroll has changed.
Bet like this and you can either slowly gain or slowly lose but can never be completely broke.

Undisputed greatest QB to ever play the game now with 4 rings. How does that taste MysticBitch?

Man, I think we've all have been there and done that. I've had my fair share of bad beatings. One of the worst feelings after a SB is when you have to face the music, i.e.: news, social media, friends, family, at work, etc. the following day. 

Hang in there, man. Just know money can still be made. Hope things get better.

Oh please Wilson outperformed Brady with ease. Brady's receivers did all the work after the catch he didn't do s---
