Cover brother Gambling will catch up to you

Gloria was right, sometimes when you win you really lose....

Gambling is NOT an addiction, dont know why people say it is... When i first started a few months ago, i was obsessed but recently, not so much... So yeah it isnt an addiction, if it is your job then maybe you can say it is since you need money

 You are ignorant. I have lost millions which I didn’t have to begin with. Had I never gambled, I would own multiple shipping strips. I am a very good business savvy guy but gambling takes everything from me. Been trying to quit for years. What a joke it’s not an addiction. 

If you can’t win and cont control it just quit. 

Always wager within your means!!! Yes it’s sucks losing but it’s marathon NOT a sprint!!! It adds excitement to watching games. You don’t have to bet your mortgage or what you can’t afford. For me I can’t wait until my state finally legalizes sports wagering.

Well said, gamble with money you don't need.  I gamble for the fun of it, keeping bets small.  I enjoy this.  When the enjoyment is gone, then it's a problem.  Greed, chasing losses and always looking for that "big score" is poison.  Enjoy and be happy.

well said my brother

Nobody has a gambling problem.  But a lot of people have a losing problem.

Get better. Figure out how to stop losing, or stop gambling.

It is pretty simple.

@vanzack

 You may not have a losing or gambling problem....but my friend watching MLS cettainly qualifies for a disorder of some nature. 

Cant argue with that.

@GOODCHOICEMAN

 You’re 100 percent broke and a degenerate 

Yep everyone needs to learn money management and each bet should be less than 5% of your total bankroll. The bad gamblers that bet all in 100% of their bankroll always end up broke. Betting on futures is more profitable than betting on regular season. Futures is long term, regular season is short term. Long term profits over short term. I agree that everyone has to learn to win or stop gambling.

 Wondered how long that would take.

If you are a punter and go to the circus,you might see a man in a Top hat that can seemingly swallow 3 swords at a time.It is not a mirror or a fake blade and is impressive.The punter cries Fake and Bullsh*t because when he tried to swallow a butterknife he gagged and punctured a Lung.

Them that Can Do,Them that Can't Skat.

The Council on Problem Gambling figures that at least 5% up to 10% of gamblers have a problem with complusive gambling.

Take care 

I have been gambling for 43 years and if i could live those years all over again, i would do it without gambling.  The time and money wasted wasnt worth it in the long run.  If your young, just take some money every week or every month and put it in some good funds and in 40 years you will have way more money then you could win gambling.  Sure some guys win money but for the most gamblers all they do is lose.  I was raised around gambling, so it became my life to.  The things i missed with family and friends cause i was busy gambling, you cant ever get back.  All this new legalized gambling is going to destroy so many people, cause now its just too simple to gamble on anything 24/7/365.  So to the youngsters i say either quit now and change your lives or follow Vanzack on twitter, then you will be able to join him in living the life of luxury on his yahct

How you can tell if you're a problem gambler is if you "Chase Losses".

Bet small and flat bet. Never go all in. Be patient on betting on futures or quit gambling.
