Has anyone lost big in gambling? Gambling addiction?

[apalisoc_9]

I use to be a gambler a couple of years back when I started using the martingale system. Basically, it follows the principle that the Banker won't win all the time in a 50-50 card draw like Bacarat ( Lucky 9). I used 5 straight. Doubled the amount everytime I lost..I felt like a God for over a month. Started going everyday after the first win. I would set up a time for gambling everyday for 30 minutes..I was making around 500 dollars everyday.

However, the inevitable happened and Banker won 5 straight times...I should have quit by then because If I did it wouldn't be that big of a lost if I looked at the big picture..But I was already addicted. So i withdrew money again...then lost again. Banker goes 5 straight again...

I know I'm still at a plus overall, but gambling addiction is terrible..I don't know why but i have this sudden urge of doing the same again.

How did you get over your gambling addiction?

[CitizenDwayne]

Yup. On 6.

[Clipper Nation]

Avante does, every week of the NFL season....

[jeebus]

Avante also gambled with either pressing his luck in chasing down a village girl to rape or just s out the bucks on a sure thing. I think we all know hw that turned out.

[The Reckoning]

tbh i go in with a certain amount of cash to spend as "entertainment."

i gamble until i lose that amount and then go home. if i win alot, i take my earnings and put it on red for roulette.

Sounds a good idea to use one addiction (gambling addiction in your case) as a cure to another (internet addiction), may not work all the time but it does work for me. I somehow had a strong crush on that Leigh during high school time, which would continue to haunt me throughout college years and beyond, until I acquired the affection for our goddess. Then the sky began to look much brighter to me, and I'm now living a happier life than I've ever had thanks to our goddess

[Trainwreck2100]

it's called a double up scheme and you can use it for blackjack too. And of course it doesn't work all the time, once you leave the table stay off the table

Too many don't do the homework and spend the time it takes to be a successful gambler. In football there are certain basic fundamentals that have to be known if ya hope to win. Too many have no idea these fundamentals even exist.

Teams are one of four things.

home fav
home dog....small (less than 4) home dog the best play
road fav
road dog

As a serious player you need to know how these teams perform in those roles.

Then there are "spots" where teams either excell or suck. Things like...

Monday and Sunday nights and now Thursday nights.

Heading into a bye week

Coming out of a bye week.

After a home loss

After a division win

You have to take all that into consideration, leave no stone unturned. Then you look for "spots" where one team excells and the other sucks and they are playing. There are always a few games a week where you'll find that, but it is time consuming finding them.

Rule of thumb, in the up coming NFL playoffs is to play the home teams, doubling the $$$$ with each round. Just another...basic fundamental.

Then why are you ig garbage ATS

[ChumpDumper]

The most important thing to do is go into hiding for two weeks after you lose several thousand dollars so you can make up a story about winning it all back and then some.

[Avante]

Then why are you ig garbage ATS

You really do need to go other places and see how others are doing this season, this has been a very hard year for all NFL players. So many trends that went....KABOOM. So many weird happenings. I'm doing as well as anyone else.

Dude, everyone played Auburn....everyone!

Not everyone went into hiding.

I am a betting expert, no stat or trend I'm not aware of. Totally up on who does what in whatever role they are in that week. So tell me slick which team totally sucks coming off a bye week vs the spread?

[Avante]

Not everyone went into hiding.

I have left many times for weeks, no big deal. Do you really think I think anyone is going to forget anything in a few weks, you can't be that dense.

But you lose all the time and lie and hide and lie more.

And still under .500 ATS

So tell me slick which team totally sucks coming off a bye week vs the spread?

Any team you pick coming off a bye week vs. the spread

[Avante]

Nobody is lying, where you get that...? Hiding, are you serious...why?

[Avante]

And still under .500 ATS


Any team you pick coming off a bye week vs. the spread

I'm at around 58% right now, which is about the norm for all us NFL players in 2013. Who saw Houston/Atlanta doing what they did? Who saw the Steelers falling apart?

Dude, why do you even try and talk about something you obviously don't understand or know about?

Kansas City has covered the last five times they've played Washington.

Vikes are 1-6 vs the Ravens ATS.

Pats 4-1 vs Browns.

Saints a weak 2-10 vs Panthers.

Buc;s 4-1 vs Bills

Now what are the odds of all those strong plays going south on the same Sunday?

Now tell me slick how does Chicago do at home ATS on a Monday night, how about Dallas on the road on a Monday night? You are totally,....huh???

Chicago is a weak 3-11 as a home fav, the Cowboys 12-6 as a road dog. I'm taking the 1.5.

Anytime you have a trend like 33-9 ya pull the trigger.
