Well I'm 25 years old and have been sports gambling on and off for the
past 3 years. I ran across a very old guy in his 90's today and he said
he used to be heavily into sports betting back in the day. He told me
to get out while you can. I asked him why and he said
"it feels good when you win. You feel like you're on top of the world,
you buy a lot of nice and fancy things and you feel great. But when the
money starts to go thin and you are looking for another big win, you
end up losing and in the process you lose back all of the things you
bought with the money you won previously. Even when you win
you're really losing. It's a losing game"
I never really thought about it that way, but the old man made a lot of sense. I have a good paying job, but I would like more money which is why I gamble on sports, but what I now understand is that making fast money is just as fast to lose.
From now on I am going to play it safe and just continuing working at my job and saving my money. Deciding to get out of gambling early. Slow and steady wins the race I guess
