Years ago when I was a young college student, I had to write a report, I could choose any subject, I chose gambling addiction since I knew I was going to do this thing we call sports betting for the rest of my natural life.
I attended over 100 meetings, even had a support buddy named Gino. Ofcourse they had no idea I was doing it all for a college grade.
I learned so much, Its truly sad what some of these people go thru. Some have lost everything, wife, children, home, mother, father. They burned so many of there loved ones, even when they have been clean for years they are still not trusted, If they are late for whatever reason, they are blamed for being in a casino or the track.
Some fund there habit by check fraud, some are court ordered to attend.
That is when I learned that this isnt for everyone, If you truly have an addiction and its affecting you and your loved ones then Gamblers Anonymous is the answer for you.
I have nothing but compassion for the degenerate gambler as Iv seen whats in store and the future for them is grim to say the least.

yeah i've always guarded myself when i do this. I never put a big chunk of my own money into a sportsbook. I always start small and build it up. I will never put thousands of my own dollars into this. I always figure if I start small, and I build up a big bankroll, if I did something stupid and lost it all. it's not gonna affect my everyday life and financial situation. if a person puts thousands of their own money into this and can't afford to lose it and they lose it, then they definitely have a problem.
I know that I can for the most part control myself, but I put in safeguards for myself just in case, like with me only putting in small amounts to start off. I've lost control of myself at times, I can't like. Not a lot, but yes at times. But my safeguards i put in, always help me in those situations. And I can stop if i see it becoming a problem.
I do feel sorry for people that can't control themselves, because I can see how it can get out of hand if your not careful. From seeing little glimpses of the dark side, I don't want to imagine how bad it can get for some and how deep they get in where they feel they can't get out or stop. Scary to even think about getting to a point like that. All I can see to degens is be careful.
