Thank you Covers "crap-perts" for another loss! Now I'm in garbage....My story...inside.

I WOULD SUGGEST TO STOP GAMBLING NOW BEFORE IT GETS TO THE POINT WHERE IT RUINS YOUR FAMILY LIFE. GAMBLING HS RUINED MANY MARRIAGES AND RELATIONSHIPS AND IT'S JUST NOT WORTH IT. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND I TRULY HOPE YOU CAN OVERCOME THIS.

first of all, give the control of your finances to a friend or relative you trust, if you dont have any money to bet, you can't bet.

then get help, go to local GA meetings, shrink if it is your thing. talk one of your close friends about it if you feel like you can't talk to your wife about it. you need to talk to someone outside of the online world.

finally, find a new hobby that will get your mind off gambling. start working out, find an activity where you can spend time with your wife and kids(if you have any) etc.

connect clamps to your testies and every time you feel the urge to gamble, zap yourself. do this for about a month.

Never buy picks...
Get familiar with the good cappers in the forums...
But if you aren't making money betting, then I suggest you try to quit.
Best luck bro.
Hope all turns out well.

First of all, trusting and relying on these Fck-perts is just wrong! How can you possibly rely on them with your money?  You should have researched on your own.  If you took your time and did your homework i believe you couldn't possibly lose your 100K. 

Secondly, #1 rule in gambling is never chase your losses!  You will just dig deeper and deeper and deeper. 

Base on your story i can say you are a type of person who is strictly forbidden to gamble.  With your personality (i assume you have a huge ego since you can't accept defeat and keep on chasing your losses until you realize your back is already against the wall)

I really hope you succeed quitting while you can still manage the loss because if you do not, it will ruin your family and your life.

My suggestion to you is be open as the saying goes. "THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE" 
tell your wife, or whoever is the closest to you and let it all out.  You need the support to battle this disease.  Trust me you cannot do it alone and hiding it from your family will just fester.

BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!! GOD BLESS

that was really bad taste...my bad

lmao

Play the Magic tomorrow.

Gambling is like smoking,once you like it you can't stop it,then after you realize that even if you like smoking will ruin your health and will cause you problems.So,think it like this and quit gambling.Do you really want risk your life?i suppose NO.So,just turn off the pc,don't even look games in tv,don't even look for odds,just cut it at once.Maybe the first days taking off this habit will be difficult since you ll stop do something that you did always but afterwards you ll feel better and more quite interior.And since you have the money to keep going in life then this is a plus to stop from gambling.A suggestion,is take your family and go somewhere for vacation,do things that have nothing to do with gambling and if you smoke stop smoking.Think that your life has more value than gambling--and smoking--.

I wish you the best and I hope that you 'll do it

Bro, you need to stop cold turkey.  I think it's safe to say you're an action junkie because I think losing the first $50k would have slowed you down a bit.  With that said...seek professional help.  I believean  action junkie is a personality type that can be controlled with meds.  I don't think therapy alone will do it.  I've had friends in the same situation.  I wish you the best but start by getting away from this site...

Thanks for offering advice guys...Much appreciated.

 

"Base on your story i can say you are a type of person who is strictly forbidden to gamble.  With your personality (i assume you have a huge ego since you can't accept defeat and keep on chasing your losses until you realize your back is already against the wall)"

Spot on man. This whole parangraph is just spot on.

I just need to succeed in quitting because you're right, it will ruin my life. The thing I cant do is tell someone, especially family..The truth will set you free is probably right but I just cant....The shame of it is already overwhelming and I dont know if I could look the people I love in the face and tell them about what I have done.

Im hurting man....hurting real bad. So many emotions doing through my head right now....I wont do anything stupid or anything, im not like that....it just so depressing....man i regret ever finding out about this site and buying picks off these guys....

 

i give it a try

No pain no gain my friend.  You have to invest to earn.

Aselan - Your on tilt.  Take a break.

Best of luck to ya.

This kind of story surfaces at Covers every year in all forums and the same kind of advices have been given.  The problem is that if you place yourself in the man's shoe, it's hard to quit or get away from it because he had lost so much and the only way to get it back is through gambling. 

My advice to you is to to play small to get your confidence back and most importantly, stop paying for those picks.  In fact if you go to other sites, they actually post most of the touts' picks so at least you're not paying for the loosing picks. 

It's easy to tell someone to quit and go to GA meeting and those other stuffs but unless he can come clean with his family about the financial situation, he will never quit.

BOL with whatever you do.

remember this line.

Totally agree. It took me years to do that with booze. You have to admit you have a problem and be honest about everything -- then get help.

If you are serious about stopping, and coming clean wont ruin your family (you said you can still pay the bills and have good income), I would definitely come clean.  Not only will it make you feel better, they can help you. You can then use that as motivation to not let them down.

Goodluck, and just like everyone said, find a different hobby/challenge and leave all gambling and gambling related stuff behind.
