That's it for me

[Daydreaming]

I wish everyone here the best! I can't keep doing this to myself. The highs and lows of this "hobby" is not worth it and actually horrible for my health. I can't see losing 1800 dollars in one night on two games. Just doesn't make sense. Trust I usually use better money management, but this year and particularly this day have made me sick to my stomach.

I have been doing this for a long time for a 22 year old and have gone through all the ups and downs in the world. There are no winners and losers even if you are betting only 10 dollar games. Just a lot of high rollers and big losers (both which coincide). Can any of you even say that when you lose you are not sick to your stomach, but when you win it's not even comparable. I hate the way I feel, the way I treat others and everything else about it. Way too unpredictable and iffy. My life feels odd and in certain trouble. This is it for me and I need to be serious about it. I strongly suggest many of you read this and consider doing the same. For the people who make money consistently good for you, but for the rest of us it's a living nightmare. So, in conclusion I think a lot of you are good people and I wish you the best, but I got to quit. I'll miss the comradary, but the not the headaches. This is the worst thing about this. I just can't see that it is possible to make money in the long run, even with the best money managemenst system. Lates and good luck!

DUDE, CANT YOU JUST WRITE THAT YOU PICKED 2 ****ED UP GAMES TO BET ON,LOST, AND NOW BROKE? WHY ADD ALL THE DRAMA?

BUT GOOD LUCK ON WHATEVER YOU DECIDE TO DO.

You've got to do what you feel is best. I'm assuming that losing $1800 on two games is WAY over you norm. When mangament goes out the window trying to catch up, its best for ANY of us to get away, take a break, or just plain stop betting all together.

Good Luck to you!

Enjoy the "outside" world again!

Sheesh, you sure are a classy guy, ABM.

Ethan, I've been down your road many times, and know how you feel. Gambling is not for everyone, and I'm still learning everyday from everyone. You're already way ahead of the game at the age of 22. There was no way I could have realized what you wrote when I was 22. It takes an enormous amount of courage to walk away. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavers. Come back and visit sometime, eh.

DDUBS, THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENT. IF YOU BEEN DOWN THE ROAD MANY OF TIMES LIKE ETHAN HAS, I THINK ITS TIME FOR YOU TO JOIN HIM IN REHAB.

Been in those shoes a hundred times...get a good night sleep..wake up tomorrow and look at the lines....pick a couple of winners...I swore off gambling twice this year...each time did the above.........But, I have a problem.

 

[Redhog]

Damn you guys can be harsh...respect the man for his decision good luck to you DD

ABM, I'm not going to clutter up the forum with this crap. Reply if you will, but this is it for me. Instead of being sympathetic, you made a joke out of someone else's misery. You need to go to Wagertrash with your kind. MadJackers don't play this shit.

48 posts, I can see you're a REAL contributer.

Ethan,

Walk and walk far away... It sounds like you better look up the closest chapter of GA. Don't be hyped by these trash talkers. They too will be in your shoes someday. I have hung around for years. Even though I have made some serious dough, in the long run it has cost me and cost me big. I am willing to deal with the consequences! good and bad! You don't need too.

At your age, it sounds like you should concentrate your efforts in other areas.

GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!

DDUBS, I TAKE IT THAT YOU'RE A WHITEBOY. HOW IS IT, THAT BY ME KEEPING IT REAL, I AM MAKING A JOKE OF ETHAN? DIDNT YOU SEE ME WISH HIM GOOD LUCK IN WHATEVER HE DECIDED TO DO? DID YOU COMMENT ON THAT? NO, YOU JUST WANT TO FOCUS ON THE SO CALLED "UNSYMPATHETIC " STUFF.

BTW, YOUR HANDLE "DUB" IS KNOWN IN THE HOOD AS A CRACK ROCK.

i keep my mouth shut most of the time when it comes to what someone plays and how much,but at your age and doing this just for shits and giggles you are betting way above your head for a college student or anyone else that doesnot spend the time to treat this as a profession,its ok to play 50 or 100 if you have a real job,or 10-20 in college on the weekend ,but not 900 a game thats up with what i play,and this is my profession, and have been beat down before starting out and at your age but 200 and i was sick. and in a hole.

get back to enjoying your best years of your life and learn from this,its not going to come back and let it go ,no sense making yourself sick or beating yourself up its done,and you made a mistake but it doesnot make you a bad person or a fool,just got caught up in the hype,take care and things will work out . just learn from this.

 

[Patternseeker]

all the best, Ethan, think you are making a wise move. when this gets to be an obsession it usually means trouble.

when you bet 5% of bankroll, as the winners do (which i am not counting myself as, by the way), the emotional aspect is removed. a losing night for the guys like fletcher, raymond, nolan doesn't end their world, and it has mine before. so i know where you're at, brother, and wish you well.

also i think the ABM is indeed angry. this site is people helping people, man, its not about ego.

DDUBS, I TAKE IT THAT YOU'RE A WHITEBOY.

What the hell does this have to do with the issue at hand? You don't have any class BOY.


By the way, Daydreaming...don't sweat it man. If you you feel it's best for you to take some time off or even stop betting entirely, then so be it. It takes a strong man to do that. I've tried to walk away a few times myself and always end up coming back. Be happy with your decision no matter what it is.

Good luck to you.

Daydreaming ive felt the way you feel many of times in a year and always said i would stop gambling but i would stop for awhile and then start again. For someone to say they can stop and do god bless them. Ive stop trying to cap games on my own because i lose the majority of the time. So what i started doing was playing one of my games and looking at others games namely jimeus and double two. I started this weeks back and all i can say is its worked great for me. Ive taking alot of heat weeks earlier for saying i was riding there plays but like i said i couldnt win to save my life. So all i have to say is this could be an option for you. Just look how they have done over the last weeks, winning more times than not. And in every aspect of life there are people who are better at certain trades of life than others, so let them do what they do best. GOOD LUcK to you.

Stick with 1-2% and you will sleep even better

What the hell does this have to do with the issue at hand? You don't have any class BOY.

Good luck to you.

MY POINT IS THAT WHITE PEOPLE DONT KNOW HOW TO KEEP IT REAL. THEY ALWAYS TRY TO SAY THE "POLITICAL CORRECT" THINGS, REGARDLESS IF ITS RIGHT OR WRONG.

I GUESSED YOU SHOWED YOUR TRUE RACIAL SIDE BY CALLING ME "BOY" WHICH IS A RACIST WORD IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY.

IM NOT EVEN MAD, THOUGH, CAUSE YOU ARE KEEPING YOUR WHITE BOY FEELING REAL. BUT YOU CAN ONLY SAY THAT TO A BLACK MAN ON A COMPUTER CAUSE I DONT THINK YOU HAVE THE BALLS TO CALL A BLACK A BOY IN PERSON.
