So today I lost 5k to gambling :(

[cleanface coney]

I hang out with a bunch of vietnamese dudes and they are the biggest degenerate gamblers I know. Literally all of them bet on games. Like every game we watch at the bar they'll have money it. And they lose big by chasing losses too. One of my friend is down like 50k in the last months. I don't even get how these fools got the kind of money to be losing like that. They just got regular paying jobs.

my nikka i used to cop my pack from an asian dude last year..i think he was korean

they bet money like crazy

we would sit there and blow weed...and bet lil quick 20-30 dollar quarters on nba/nfl games like it aint shyt

after a while i realized thats all he did was gamble lol ....shiiiit i aint no dummy i stop puttin money down

all he did was played poker and bet on sports all day...no job but had crazy bread.... shyt was crazy af

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.

Pull out completely and empty your sportsbook account. Take the L and don't go back.

Gamblers are always trying to win back their losses and get a thrill from the bet and possible winnings. I had a sister-in-law whose game was blackjack. That went south after multiple big losses. I'm not saying you need to go to gamblers anonymous, but you might if you keep it up.

It's not how you lose it, its how you make it back is what define you. It takes heart to take A L and keep it moving.

My junky friend bet 1225 to win 500 on an Andy Murray Novak Dokovich match.

He knows nothing about tennis, some of the saddest shyt i've seen

no disrespect but the scenario has me weak

 

[Momentum]

You're supposed to have a system and bet steady slow amounts.

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

no disrespect but the scenario has me weak

shyt had me laughing, he texted a group text a 3am with this shyt too.

We all woke up saw this shyt and thought we need an intervention

 

[WeDemBoyz]

it happens.......as long as you can make it back it's fine

i know you're serious and that makes it even funnier

It's funny cause they're ones no one else in the world would remember

I bet starting midway through baseball season all the way into about week 10 of nfl... my highest was up to about 3700... and I left about a month ago up 1900... if your sincere about this shyt the main thing you gotta remember is to keep an excel sheet and map out your wins and losses...

also just like poker you should never have 10% of your bankroll in play at any given time... if you do... you've hit degeneracy and are like a full fledge member of d-generation x

if you hve 500 bucks that you can bet with and dont need for rent or anything... you shouldnt be betting more than 50 dollars on any bet...

at most.

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

 

[FUPA]

aye can some Pass the Mustard on a good site to use thats phone friendly aswell?

Being a die hard fan of one team and a gambler could answer one of my all time favorite questions.

How much is a win worth to you?

How much would you bet against your team every game to were you no longer cared that they lost because "at least I got $$$ coming in"
