You're not cut out for it as a profession---neither am I, nor 99% of gamblers I do it for small time kicks...always try to win and get pissed when I lose but to make it a lifes goal is not realistic unloess you are so emotionally distant that you can take brutal bad beads like they are nothing, and have icewater in your veins

In all honesty - I am going to give it to you straight up because nobody else will here.... You are not cut out for this. I can tell with your responses. You gamble for a rush and the emotional parts of it. Winners do not do this. Now, you can either quit - or you can take the good advice given of making it work in your life. You have done neither - and will continue to suffer until you do. GL
Everything changed for me when I stopped watching the games I bet on!

There are no brutal bad beats! Just wins and losses. Unless you are betting too much per your BR.

Best way for you to win is not to play...you are too emotional to gamble...think about it...find a past time where your emotions are an advantage, not a disadvantage.
Good luck! RT2

Bro if you're down that much you need help there's no way to make your money back once you start chasing you're done it'll be a series of the highest highs and the crushing lows. Maybe sports gambling is for you pick up blackjack or poker.

If you're not a pro like me, just do it as a fun hobby where you bet $50 a game, but keep your game # down. I usually have 3-4 bets a week. I'm picky, and bet spots. Sometimes 2-3 bets per week depending on what the books throw at me.

The only way to win a bit of money at this is to play alternate lines. Yes you risk a lot to win a little but your odds of winning your bet is much greater. The odds makers have these lines set so sharp that you just can’t beat them at their game. The bad news is you better hit 9 out of 10 bets or you loose. The good news is that it is much easier to actually accomplish this than playing the straight point spread. The key to this method is to avoid the lopsided blowouts and NO, this method does not work in NCAAF.

I once met a guy that was a co founder of a major online book and he bascially said if you want to win... DONT BET. Sometimes when I lose I wish I took his advice myself ... it’s harder to take a loss sometimes then the thrill of winning a bet is amazing
dont know I’f I explained that right but basically
Lossing can really fucking suck compared to sometimes winning isn’t really all that exciting anymore. Weigh your options I guess and decide where you want to be.

You don’t tell a guy that’s down 200k to pick up blackjack or poker that’s not great advice. You basically telling him to go lose another 200k.

I use barstool sports in Indiana Hollywood casino but they do have an app now. The problem is you have to be in a state were its legal. I make a 1 hour drive to place my bets so if I loose it even makes it worse that’s why I give myself every possible advantage by playing alternate lines to make some money

An example of this alternate line betting would be Thursday night. Rams currently at -2 over Seahawks. Well heck, I don’t know which side to bet so I got a 50/50 chance. That’s not very good. But taking Seattle plus 10-14 points gives me probably a 90% chance of winning since I don’t see the rams blowing out Seattle by more than 2 touchdowns. You could actually bet it the other way and probably still not loose the bet since I don’t see Seattle blowing out the rams by more than 2 touchdowns either.
