And you were correct on betting on the superbowl winner as well (you read the script in full) - can I ask, Dribble, how do you find gambling in your life? You're more honest here than the rest of the clowns. View Post \| View Thread	AgainstGambling	72	February 10, 2016 View Post \| View Thread

For the rest of you this is entertainment? That is the reason the thread is getting bigger with so many replies? If gambling was a straightforward thing like shopping then it might have been entertainment, but losing money is not entertainment, no one likes to lose thousands of dollars or more than that.

replied to Why Sports Betting is so Dangerous! in NBA Betting Quote Originally Posted by simple3: And what about those who have their emotions intact and do this successfully? 'Gambling' can be addictive just as porn, masturbation and drugs can be. Moderation is key in life. Perhaps you should look at the root of the problem, what is the void gambling addicts(or other addicts) are trying to fill? Porn is also a bad addiction and honestly porn cannot be consumed in moderation. Moderation cannot be a key for porn addiction, correct? Same applies to gambling.

created a topic Why Sports Betting is so Dangerous! in NBA Betting Keith Whyte, Executive Director of the National Council on Problem Gambling said: "Many more gamblers move towards skill-based games, prefering those games rather than random typed games. Especially - Sports Betting - that is one with huge addiction problem. Sports betting carries a huge risk for addiction. Why? Because if you believe the outcome is primarily based on your skill, and you think you're a very skilled player. The more you play you think the better you get - and then you think it's the better less likelihood for you to lose! Even if you've lost in the last 20 or 50 times - people and especially those at risk for addictions - will think 'if I can just keep on playing I know I'm gonna win because my skills are going to overtrump the randomness'. It can encourage persistence - way beyond limits - you set time and money - you become preoccupied with chasing that win - the more you think your skills will affect the outcome."

replied to Some questions about gambling to those of you who gamble in NBA Betting Quote Originally Posted by Unstoppable Force: Never said I was fine with it...but there's nothing that can be done about it now...lol....just gotta move on and get over it....it is what it is....I rather not think about it....I enjoy gambling....that's that... Everyone has their own views on life...everyone has a different opinion....I rather not think about reality actually..because guess what...reality fkn blows the majority of the time.......even if you DON'T gamble...you are still gonna have some sort of addiction in life Name me 1 person you know that 1) Doesnt gamble 2) Doesn't drink 3) Doesnt smoke cigarettes daily 4) Doesn't drink coffee or caffeine daily or most days 5) Doesn't do any drugs...or on ZERO medication..yes medication = DRUGS ....and many more...Gambling makes you feel good and satisfied when you win...some people like losing too as crazy as it sounds..because than it's a challenge to get it back the next day, weeks, etc..... Anything someone likes and does it often and can't live without it...is an addiction....Everyone is "addicted" to something in one way, shape or form.....Can't change life...and that's life... Maybe you need to just get over it.... 1) I don't gamble anymore. 2) I do drink only on rare occassions, family events etc. 3) I don't smoke. 4) I don't drink coffee. 5) I don't do drugs, don't take medications thankfully.

You can cut it completely .... it's possible, people have done it. First step - close any account, even bank account or online account (skrill, neteller etc.) close it permanently - this way you won't be able to place bets.

replied to Some questions about gambling to those of you who gamble in NBA Betting Quote Originally Posted by Unstoppable Force: Agreed Exactly. That's correct, betting on sports is like betting on companies one way or another - and it's all a bad habit. You said you lost probably $100,000 from gambling and you're fine with that ... if I were you I wouldn't be fine with that .... and it's not the money that I care about .... is having a different view about living life. Life can be so much better without it ... addictions are drugs ... life with addictions is never a good life, at max it can be life with illusions, but I'd rather live in reality and not in a bubble.

replied to Some questions about gambling to those of you who gamble in NBA Betting Quote Originally Posted by TheSituation559: I think the thing that really helped me is I ONLY bet sports, never casino and no lotto just sports, also I have a rule no more than 1 live bet per game. I used to make the mistake of having multiple live bets and losing them all. Make a system and you can succeed. I lived in Vegas for 3 years for graduate school and it definitely tested my patience. All in all while I lived in vegas I was probably down 1-2k but I consider that a win lol Very fortunate where I'm at today at 3k. Betting sports is better than betting in casino games, that's for sure ... but in the end of the day it's still form of gambling ... And all forms of gambling whatsoever will suck you in ... it just happens, one way or another ... sorry to burst your bubble but sports betting is just as worse as playing in the casino and it's even worse because it brings in the illusion that you can actually make money from it.. I know a guy who made $200,000 from sports betting, was all over the moon ... now he's paying debts. Don't get inot that if you ask me.

replied to Betting took me a lot in Other Quote Originally Posted by BARNUN: It's no ones fault? Really!? So who's got a gun to his head making him place bets, huh? You cowards are a special kind of stupid blaming your problems on anyone or anything but yourself! Because of scum people like you gambling is legalized and just gaining pace in incredible speed. Becuase of scum people like you Hillary Clinton would be the next president, and the same thing would continue for another 4 years, lots of talks, bla bla bla, the poor will get poorer and the rich will get richer. Scum people like you believe if no one points a gun to his head then it's his fault ... scum people like you are dispecable, disgusting and justify gambling ... You probably justify the current system, call it democracy even though the candidates for presidency are not people we really want ... yet there are elections, you have to vote for people you don't even know... Lobbyists are made of scum people like you. You can do a great job as a lobbyist because cleaely you support the broken system we live in today.

replied to Some questions about gambling to those of you who gamble in NBA Betting Quote Originally Posted by Pandalicious: 1) About 2 years. 2) Yes by a large margin and I am thankful for it every day. 3) I'm in a long term relationship.

Yes, but if I were you I would stop now but I know it's probably impossible for you to stop, it's impossible to stop anyway especially when in profits ... I've been in profits and large ones from gambling ... I know what it is - they will all go away ... Appreciate your spouse, she is much more valuable than gambling ... but life can teach you that lesson regardless as time goes by.

replied to Some questions about gambling to those of you who gamble in NBA Betting Quote Originally Posted by Unstoppable Force: Exactly...Do what you enjoy Only live once....We all end up in the ground in the end... Yes that's kinda negative but it's the truth...... What's it matter in the end??? We should all do what we wanna do in life...just can't let it get too out of control to the point where you are stealing to pay off the bookie....lol Do what you want to do, no one is telling you what to do. I feel sorry though for all those who read this and are silent ... there are too many silent posters who'd rather not share the real truth about what gambling caused them in life - and it doesn't have to be only financial issue.

replied to Some questions about gambling to those of you who gamble in NBA Betting Quote Originally Posted by TheSituation559: 1) How long have you been gambling here? Ive been with the site for about 4 years but have been gambling on sports since 17 (26 now) 2) Are you in profits? Right now I am probably up 3k if I had to guess. I've probably gambled winning and losing close to 500-600k lifetime. Hell on my cashback from heritage i've bet close to 85k since Jan 1st. This year I'm up 7k so far but lifetime probably about 3k up. Considering how much i've bet i'll take it. 3) Are you married / have children? If you do how do you cope with them as well as with your gambling? Actually getting married in a couple of months. I'll admit it does get hard when i'm checking scores and she's pissed that I can't put the phone away lol but I don't make bets anymore if i'm going out. So my attention is on her but she knows if it's a big game we're staying in and watching the game. 4) Do you feel like you're in control of your gambling? Yeah I feel like I do, I usually don't bet much from the end of football to start of football. Usually starting June - Sept I give it a rest but then i'm back on the grind. This is what I do and I enjoy doing it. I have a great job, I make over 100k a year. Worked my as.s off to get to where I am in life so I feel like I deserve to do this if I want to. You're 26 years old, been gambling for 9 years ... I started gambling at 16, now I'm 31 years old. Trust me it's not worth it ... a few more years down the line it could be terrible ... I knowh how it feels and feeling in control also means knowing how much gambling really costs you in total ... Turnover of $600k is a lot, it's massive ... please don't play with fire.

replied to Some questions about gambling to those of you who gamble in NBA Betting Why all those who had bets on the HOU/GSW game just check in here and face a reality check? So many of you were placing wagers over 240+ points on this one. View Post \| View Thread	AgainstGambling	72	February 10, 2016 View Post \| View Thread
