Hey JDS Just seeing this thread now. My best opinion would be to back off now. Stop the bleeding. Last thing you want to do is give back the all profits of your 89K score. This is why gambling is tough. The chase mode can be your downfall if not careful. Good luck man.

Bro I was pumped for you at the warehouse all night. For some reason I thought you had the fish. Something told me to read the thread before posting the song I had all cued up.

Bro, you got 35k in the safe and RAW DOGGED the books for 90 grand. Don't even let this fukk with you. You are still WAY ahead.

Yeah thanks, all things considered I’m still up 80K in 2024 after losing over 40K this week. Yeah that’s right I lost 1/3rd my bankroll in one week lol. Like I said at the beginning of this thread, I guess I’m not a professional gambler after all. “I’m just a wanna be”

I’ve already done this earlier in the year. I know better, but when I get pushed up against the gambling ropes I go tilt. Apparently this is who I am as a gambler.

No it is who you think you are as a gambler. Why do our actions belie our thoughts and reason? It is a thing called emotions which makes us human. Nothing to beat yourself up over just to be aware of going forward.

Pure speculation: you're better at reading lines and staying on top of what happens to sports teams than 99% gamblers overall and better than 95% posters on this forum.

And - if you gamble long enough - none of it will matter if you're not professional enough (not perfect machine, like a Swiss watch that runs for 300 years, just good enough) in bankroll management and tilt control (it's all the same to me).

If you're able to hit 10 in a row, with your usual process, you should expect to lose 7 or 8 times in a row without EVEN THINKING to tilt, let alone double up on bet size or chase.

And another thing

People usually don't care for advice in this spot, and gamblers evenmoreso but... before you do it again (and you know you will, right?)... before you bet 10-20x on a game, you may want to make a promise to yourself you'll need to keep:

either
a) This will be the last time you do it UNLESS it wins (and next time you do it, THIS is the amount you'll stick to, not 50-60x, *just* 10-20x like the Ravens and the Guardians in 2024
or
b) You will only do it after reaching a real non-gambling related goal.

(insert a really tough personal goal here, like waking up an hour earlier every day for a month specifically to volunteer at a homeless shelter/church, or do anything around the house you postponed for too long - anything people usually put on a New Year resolutions list and usually forget by January 5th)

This goal should take several weeks to accomplish, giving you time to appreciate the lifestyle gambling has created for you, and to process what's happened to your bankroll, realize this is not the end, and upgrade your game. Because - even when you're giving out soup to the homeless - you will never stop thinking about sports and betting. This isn't a disease, but it can be if you let it.

Good luck managing your loss JDS

Everybody’s leaving out the most important thing you cannot leave a lot of money in a gambling account.

99% of gamblers cannot handle that


JDS will learn from this and thrive in the future he is too good of a capper

Obviously that’s one of the ways offshore gets you as opposed to US.

Payout limits. Restrictions on days of the week or time you can withdraw, etc.
