So today I lost 5k to gambling :(

[USSInsiders]

So I recently got into sports betting because of a stupid younger cousin of mine who introduced me to it, and today I can say it has completely crushed me.

I dropped $750 on Miami Heat beating Cavs I know, but the odds were crazy and would've raked in over 6k.
I also dropped 1k on Memphis to beat OKC. Again I was lured by the hefty payout.

So to make the money back I immediately dropped 1.5k in the 4th Quarter for Dallas to beat Utah by +7, that didn't happen as Utah almost won

Now I am seething, I literally emptied my bank account to win all that back. I dropped 1.6k on Houston to beat Clippers. They lost

Now I'm broke as shyt with $90 in my bank account. I just transferred $50 to my sportsbook account to start all over


I have no idea what got me to this. I've never been a gambler in my life. But I made some money early and thought I could keep winning.........

I have 1.8k coming in next week, this time I'll stick with the favourites. I'm getting that money back!! And then quitting for good.

Moral of the story is folks, don't gamble. You may win some, but in the long you you'll ALWAYS lose.

holy shyt. Favorites will burn just as much as dogs man. NEVER bet that much on a moneyline like that ever again. No offense but that's just braindead retarded.

Stop playing moneylines with dogs with that much, just put a little on the moneylines or bet spreads or totals only.

Yes, occasionally a big dog wins but those instances are rare as fukk.

true.

The first time I lost big was betting on a scottish soccer match. It felt like I was in a movie and time had froze, I didn't think it was possible I'd just lost it all and on that game

Mine was $400 on Gators moneyline against the Bulldogs in college bball. Total square bet and it was dead at tip-off. Only time in my life I've seen technical free throws shot before the game even tipped because the Gators dunked during the pre-game lay up line. That's when I knew my shyt was cooked

flipped £10 ($15) into £4,600 ($7,010) over a very good weeked of Premiership gambling about two years ago. I'm never going to see that kind of win again.

biggest loss was putting £1000 ($1500) on Everton to beat Wigan in the FA cup semi final. Everton were down 2-0 in 30mins

When you bet you develop this sixth sense

A missed free throw, a 3 pointer drops

A kicker misses a chip shot

A dropped pass you know its over

I thought Hassan Whiteside would dominate the boards and cause an upset Plus Love was out. I knew it was a long shot and was full prepared to lose that money (it was from winnings anyway). Odds were too good..



thanks for the concern bro, but i understand completely i can go even further under. However I'm adamant that i at least attempt to make some of it back, i will go slowly. however and further significant loses and i will call it a wrap.

There's no such thing as the odds being too good. You need to realize these books have the best analysts and oddsmakers money can buy. They have decades worth of data to set their lines off of. Even if you thought it was too good, why lay down damn near 1000 dollars?

OP shot himself in the foot thinking that trash Heat and Grizzlies teams are beating Thunder or Cavs.

I feel you bruh...I been playing dangerously lately but been lucky. I was gonna put $250 on cavs to win .but after multiple attempts the system would not take my bet so I took it as some weird sign. THANK GOD I DID . So I decided to just put that on the under 204 for the game and as I saw that loss coming like Nas walking down a hallway and I got a little desperate and put a stack on the under 211.5. Crazy thing is the total score for the game was 211 so that .5 was a difference off minus a stack or plus 900. That stress sometimes aint worth it man.
