    It's time to pack it in CG.  You gave the Vegas life hell, but so far it has gotten the best of you. No shame in that; you aspire to excel in a very difficult discipline.  

    Walk with your 7k. Get out of town for the rest of the weekend....hit the road, get away from gambling...and decide IF you really want the gambler's life; you have seen first hand how brutal it can be. I wouldn't wish some of your beats on anyone. 

    If nothing else, the bad beats should be the best teacher of capital management you will ever have. You are learning just how small the margins really are in sports betting, and just how fragile every bet really is.

    If you decide to stay in the game, then listen to some of the guys around here. Regroup. Gameplan. Figure out exactly what you need to do to be successful....and then do it.  More than likely you will need more cash.....that is where a steady gig comes in; or raid the 401k and sell the car.

    The number one rule is to make money. You are not doing that.

    Don't give those bastardds your money while you are on tilt......the whole damn town is built to tilt guys.......make them beat you on your terms.

    Best of luck.....better to hit rock bottom with 7k than to be busted.  

    Never Make A Winner A Loser. Never.

    Yea CG will go bust soon unfortunately. I think what he should do is drop 2 5k bombs within the span of 3 weeks. If he can win that 10k, he bets that 10k along with his whole life savings on Floyd Mayweather ML at -200 or by decision at -110. You live and die with Floyd this month.

    You gotta love the people that tell him to take a couple of days off, regroup and then come back and try to be successful at this gambling thing.
    Its like those couple of days off CG will learn money management and actually develop some handicapping skills at capping games.
    Not magically gonna happen. 

    CG is no different then the 95 percent of gamblers out there, myself included, who place their bets everyday and hope, boy wouldnt this be great if i could just place bets and not do anything else to earn money in life.  I mean really thats gotta be every gamblers dream, but it doesnt work like that.  After doing this gambling thing for 35 years, even thou it was fun and i would be up and down thru the years, i can honestly say that i wish that i had back all the money i have lost, because that money could have been used so much better.  Am glad i never went and quit my job because of having a good year.  Hell in 2004 i won a 25k football contest, did that mean i was now a pro gambler?  Hell no not even close to one. 
    Even thou most of us spend way more time on gambling then we should, thats still nowhere near enough time.  You have to truly dedicate yourself to this.

    So when you read comments in here about CG being able to do this pro thing from others, you have to ask yourself, what the hell are these other people seeing in CG, because all i really saw from day 1 was a kid that wanted to have fun and gamble, which pretty much sums it us for most of us

    Maybe if the kid was some handicapping guru, he could sooner or later learn some good money management, but problem is hes really not a good capper.  There are so many more better cappers right on this site then CG will ever be.

    In the end, the sad part is he could have took his money, invested it or maybe opened a business and in 25 years that money would be worth so much more then he was ever going to win with his gambling empire

    He doesnt have the patience and mental stability needed to long term gamble. After every 2-3 losses or bad beats he automatically says fuck it and bets a large amount on impulse. He needs to just wait a while, and hit em hard twice. Might as well at this point IMO because he wont stop the inevitable without professional help. Might as well drop 1 bomb, 2 bombs, then risk it all on Floyd. Floyd is a sure bet. But you must go 2-0 before Floyd to be close to where you were at prior to Vegas. go 2-0 +10k then bet it all on Floyd. Thats what I would attempt to do. And I'd just be content with the fact that if Floyd loses it was all worth it. But thats just me!

    while everyone in here is tryna get thru to the guy you say sumthing like this....a "sure bet" is the last thing a guy like this needs to hear..jeezus,hes likely to take his 401 and everything he has out and drop it on that stupid boxing match(only the most crooked fu.king sport on the face of the planet by the way).....if it was anything even slightly close to a sure thing then why on gods green earth are books giving you 50 cents for every dollar??

    i know zilch about boxing by the way,very keen to hear...and there are draw/split desicions as well,rite??so its not even a 2 way proposition

    If you think Floyd loses this fight you are underestimating him and his focus. Of course its not 100% sure money but its worth the large risk. If your going to throw away 6k on random baseball games with no study he might as well ride the undefeated boxer who all he cares about is retiring undefeated. Thats all I'm saying. I'm putting 2k on Floyd by decision personally. The juice is low because its Manny pacquiao. But hes been knocked the fuck out before.

    Yeah, that about covers it.

    Just figured if I was going to be a part of this circus, I would at least try to help. Again...

    Tough to watch so much cash go down the tubes. Man, 3k could have been a pretty nice weekend doing something worth while. Instead the casino got it. Something about that pisses me off.

    Screw it.

    Floyd is a near lock to win the fight. He is, however, not a lock to get the decision. Even still, Floyd -200 is the best bet in any sport for the month of May
