You gained 30K FROM NOT WORKING.

Now you had a minor setback losing half....BIG DEAL MAN.

Life is good weather yer rich or poor....winning or losing....

It is JUST BETTER when yer winning. That high is what we crave.

But to live a better life....you must change your brain into taking losses like a man. Who cares when you lose.....And fuC yeah when you win!

You will never become a better gambler until losses mean nothing.

God Bless Dude.

The problem with this proposal St2ee, is that only a select few are wired that way, i.e., guys who play to win and can shake off losses with ease. You being one of them. Action Junkie, is not wired that way. His thrill comes with losing, because the gambling is feeding demons he is not even aware of and will takes years of therapy to uncover.

DONT DO IT!..

Wait... be patient and for a game that speaks confidence, vs chasing w/ emotions trying to recover.

especially the guilt of gambling away your inheritance. Just wait and find a game. Patience man. betting is not a race. take your time and call your shots in confidence

ActionMagnet...this is what you should do.find a tout or capper to fade for a couple weeks, you will come out ahead buy about a lot. there isn't a tout out there that wins long term. they are the best fade material

Set $250 as your 1 Unit. You have 15k? so 60 Units to play with to allow you to ride the wave...

Start by betting 1 Unit at a time, and DO NOT deviate from that, sober, drunk, stoned, smacked, twacked, rolling, skiing, whatever state you are in...bet 1 Unit or to win 1 Unit.

You will quickly have the same rush you're getting out of the chase...and be more invested as you start to whittle down your plays looking to go 3-0 on the day, and not 12-15.

This is a hard game to bet on. Both sucks and both show their defense and no offense. I know the total is hard play on. Over/Under opened at 42.5 and now dropped down to 41. I am thinking this game will be around 37 points. I hate Chicago and Washington as both don't know which team will show up. Good luck my friend.

You need to know how to handle your losses!!!

I saw this happens a lot - a gambler would win 2, 3K for 2-3 weeks in a roll and then would lose 15K just in one week-end. If ones can practice money management, he could be successful with sport gambling.

Action, if you decide to continue gambling -> start fresh with 15K and bet at most 5-10% of your bankroll for any game that you like (don't try to win back the 15K in a hurry) - NO PARLAY!!!

Exactly. Cash out, take a loooooong break from gambling (perhaps so long that your next bet be placed post mortem...). Sure the thought of that is scary and empty...You also need to prepare yourself for the reflection of deeds once you quit, hence professional help, program, etc.

NOTE: Comments above are addressing the addiction/trait...Peace and hope you find your way to the door. Respectfully.

You've got some issues. And you got lucky.
