    Being rich, i mean millionaire? or even $500,00. start up bankroll is $25,000

    I believe in this theory, for i have never experience winning

     $100 grand.. and i mean in the long run, will you quit if you gain a $100,000? most probably a gambler will not..?

     i would never make to 100K
    i bet small, for fun, 300 on the superbowl as example

    its all entertainment for me really. I lose I win I lose etc
    but to me, the real challenge is to beat the book

    that's what I am in it for

    also the rush during the game -can't beat it

    Ive average an income of 65-85k a year since 1998. Am I rich, no way. Do i have to put on a suit and tie. Nope. So I guess Im somewhere in between. Once my bankroll got to the point where a 3000 dollar bet was 2% for me, i was good. I rarely ever bet more then 3,000. Im your typical 1 game a night, same unit size every game guy. Just hope to go 18-12 a month. Obviously I have off months.

    its an open thread, il not react too often with all the bashers...

    keep it coming... 

    I just want to hear the stories of those who won big, lose big, those who prepared themselves in getting a big cash every week, those who play big.... and in that, im sure its a whirlwind life you got once in your life, the way big cash flows, like you can never lose.

    Here is a thing i share you, in between 2004 to 2006, i win more and more each week, and every week seems the payout is increasing, like i can never lose, it comes to a time that i wish i lose, but i will not say that is the time i lose it all, its not....

    In the end, my profit cut big time, after the season is over, i wish i did take a break and end up winning big.... thats the time i wish i win every week. LOL

    But i tell you, like 808 tunda, thats also me, if i win big, theres a chance i lay out big again the next day, big chance, even exceeding my winnings from the other day...

    But i bet there are many gamblers here who experience winning big and losing big also.. and those who are believing that they can win and get rich in this field, there is a CHANCE i guess, but its rare.... especially when you experience winning big, and the time you lose it all? that is the time, BAM, you will chase, even if you need not to....................................

    its an open thread, il not react too often with all the bashers...

    keep it coming... 

    I just want to hear the stories of those who won big, lose big, those who prepared themselves in getting a big cash every week, those who play big.... and in that, im sure its a whirlwind life you got once in your life, the way big cash flows, like you can never lose.

    Here is a thing i share you, in between 2004 to 2006, i win more and more each week, and every week seems the payout is increasing, like i can never lose, it comes to a time that i wish i lose, but i will not say that is the time i lose it all, its not....

    In the end, my profit cut big time, after the season is over, i wish i did take a break and end up winning big.... thats the time i wish i win every week. LOL

    But i tell you, like 808 tunda, thats also me, if i win big, theres a chance i lay out big again the next day, big chance, even exceeding my winnings from the other day...

    But i bet there are many gamblers here who experience winning big and losing big also.. and those who are believing that they can win and get rich in this field, there is a CHANCE i guess, but its rare.... especially when you experience winning big, and the time you lose it all? that is the time, BAM, you will chase, even if you need not to....................................

    You mean since 1998, you always gain 65-85k dollars in betting?

    thats not bad if thats what you mean...

    One time i did set a goal, and that is the time when i was just starting in this field, i did reach my goal, and did exceeded that goal, but every cash coming in seems easy, its like i never lose....

    the more money i have, the more pressure for me to set my life, my 2nd goal, and on and on... too much thinking, no patience at all... i learn it the hard way, very hard.................

    And its like fucking ruining your life, the way the cash comes and go.....................WOW,  You chase it, until you knew all has gone.. and you start again, and your not freash, but beaten...

    Only one way if you didnt take a break, Thats, DOWN....

    I learn my lesson, but, you never know if will happen again.... just be cautious..... il be cautious.

    Yeah.. when you are losing big... and capping under pressure, especially when you are a rookie, most of the time you pick the wrong side...

    Sometimes i tend to think, vegas line really does make you take the generous side, and for all you know, you end up winning from the start, but in the end, you lose, wrong side!!!

    How can you stop being greedy? if you always place a bet?

    The way i look at it, you need a break, a week is a long break from guys who is winning...

    But i agree. greedy, losing patience, taking it easy, you know, not doing all the home work when you are winning big, is the downfall... and slowly happening, you didnt even know until BAM, wake up, little has left... and then you regret it by not taking a break, and you bomb big...

    I believe most big time gambler pull it through the moment they got in the situation, and when you pull through, like getting back all the money you loss by just hitting 1 or 2 days of playing big, that is the time you think youre good, after that you think you can pull it off over and over agin, but surely time will come you will never make it through, and that hits you hard, and the chasing begins...

    So, no one really think gambler getting rich from gambling right?

    havnt you guys heard of a real stroy, man plays in casino and beat the house, and get rich..

    except the lottery powerball jackpot slot machine ofcourse......

    I mean, those who pursue, black jack, baccarat, sportsbetting, horse racing ,who really plays it consistently...

    So we are here to survive? earn like a typical employee or better than employees.. who gets a fair income, that can support their families or themselves...

    or an additional income? but income here is not steady, we all know that.

    RAGING, you are good by keeping it that way, 12 years times 65k is $780,000? you are close to being a millionaire ?

    Bro...How can you throw $3K on a game if you make $65K a year.....you are throwing over 4% of your annual income on a game?

    $3K is a 2% bet?.....So your bankroll for gambling is $150K?.....making $65K a year......What the hell am I missing here? 

    You must be single.

    Not sure about NBA, MLB ...but pretty sure about NFL ! It's a Billions dollars business and think of it as 3hrs "High Risk" stocks , you had a choice(s) and make an investment for 3 hrs

    Ask yourself  : How much do you want to win ( positive thinking ) in a day ? $50, $100, or $200 ? or how much you can afford to lose ( trust me it's happend ) in a day $50,$100 or ... ? then you'll be OK in the long run .

     Don't think how much can you win with your bank roll - But focus on  HOW MUCH can YOU WIN: in 1 day ,and treat it 1 day at the time !
