Apologies for the b2b2b posts..I don't know how to answer multiple posts within one and was too lazy to figure it out. Anyways I said I would keep you guys updated as to what was going on so here it is.

I have maxed out my mom's credit card for 3k and the bill is due on April 3. Which means I need to pay it by this Friday, which means I need to win the $ online by Wednesday at the latest.

I have also maxed out my supplementary many times over..and have told my dad I will be paying it so he keeps clearing credit. He is travelling right now and cleared 4k credit off the card so he could use it and not get stuck overseas and I have crippled that down to about $1200 left. Pretty sure his card will be declining in a couple days LOL. Anyways I owe about 6500 on this card for the month which is due April 6th, and about 4k for the next month which would be due May 6.

So what I need is about: 3k+6500 basically by Friday which is 9.5k. And then another 4k for the next month. I have no paycheque coming in as I have taken $21200 worth of advances from work. The only thing I'll have is if I pay these bills I'll have more credit to work with. I have stolen my mom's statement so she has no idea what her credit card is at lol.

I don't know if you have seen the movie Mississippi River starring Ryan Reynolds and the guy from Bloodline..but anyways I recently saw it and loved it. Mainly because I feel like I can relate to it lol. There's a scene in the movie where the main character goes to visit his ex wife and he does it only to go through her sock drawer to take money. Well my mom also keeps $ in her top drawer..it's actually her bra drawer which makes this more sickening. Anyways she had about $800 or so in there and I sniped $250. She usually doesn't check the stash often and I have never stolen from it before so I am hoping it will go unnoticed or I will replace it. Mostly I am just such a degen that I do not care what happens at this point. So I have tapped out all avenues for parlays basically..but today I have a $250 6 gamer that will make me free for the next two months. I am attaching the screenshot and maybe you guys can pray for me and root for me. I will probably not win but at least I have hope. I mean people get 2 outters all the time right?

On b365 there is a parlay bonus so it will be the payout multiplied by 20%.



I left $25 to bet on some other stuff and ran it up to $45 and then repressed $25 of it on the same parlay. I am not attaching the image for that..just know I have $250 wagered on this total and will be making about $2088 total after the bonuses. This makes me realize I do not need 6 games..I would be ok with just 5 as I need 9.5 immediate and 13.5 by next month. Oh well. Anyways the last stand is here. I am not sure what I am going to do to get the $ the next few days or what my plan is but I will keep you guys updated.

NHL is extremely tough to hit multiple legs. Maybe tonight will be your night.

My confidence is really low right now. I feel like I am losing bets as soon as the game starts or I am getting rivered at the very end. Either way it's an L. I've hit many 6/6 in NHL..but I haven't in a very long time. Let's see how it goes.

Also I made a typo..the total payout is $20088 not $2088.

Long time lurker, first time poster. Stating the obvious but stealing from both your parents and going to great extents to hide it as well is a serious problem. These bets you are putting on are just deepening that hole. I hope you turn things around.

OK, I rarely post here, but I'm going to give it a shot for your sake. Listen, man, I've got an addictive personality myself, and I love me a little gamble. But here's the thing: it's only a gambling problem if you're losing. So I think you're smart enough to understand that the system is rigged against you. Slots, sports betting, and the like are all -EV if you play them straight up.

So you have to find other ways to win -- plays where you are +EV. I play skill games (worldwinner, royalgames) where I can be better than everyone else at a certain game and win $$$. I play sports when I can get some +EV opportunities. Intertops had a March Madness sports promo during this year's tourney where they literally gave everyone who was paying attention over $700 for free, no strings attached. Here was the promo:

Quote:
"Place your parlays on the March Madness duels and we will double your winnings up to a total of 10 x USD 100.

If your parlay bet (Money Line or Spread Options, min. odds +900 / 10.0) is a winner, then we will double your net profit on that bet up to USD 100 - and that for a total of ten different parlay wagers during the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament.

That means a total of USD 1,000 extra winnings with no rollover requirements are up for grabs with Bonus Code MMPARLAY.

Details: Parlay wagers for this promotion must consist solely of March Madness duels (Money Line or Spread options only) and have minimum odds of +900 / 10.0. Round Robin/Teaser bets do not count for this promotion. If the wager is a winner, the customer can claim a doubling of the net profit for that wager from us via live chat or email to bet@intertops.eu (Subject: MMPARLAY). Up to USD 100 extra may be claimed per winning parlay wager and up to ten winning parlay wagers can be claimed during the March Madness tournament."
So there are only 16 ways a 4-team parlay can go. You bet all 16 of them for $10 each. That's $160. Then you win exactly one of them (by definition) for $130-$135ish. Then they pay you another $100. So you turned $160 into $230+ with literally zero risk. And you can do that 10 times.

Slots are another great one. Intertops Casino Classic is my favorite. You can keep money in a wallet there and then continually redeposit it over and over again to collect endless bonuses. So you deposit $25 and get a bonus with it. Then you can enter a bunch of not-yet-started tournaments. Then you try to run up the bonus $$$. If that fails, your rollover requirements go away when you hit $0.99 or less in your account. So then you unregister from all the tourneys, get your money back, and withdraw all or nearly all of your money back to your on-site wallet. So you got to try to run it up for free. And you can do that multiple times a day, over and over again. Eventually an attempt to run it up will succeed, and you'll pull a nice score.

And so on. I am up $300,000 over the last 15 years (about $20K/year) doing this type of thing. It's not an overnight million-dollar win, but I jokingly call it "winning the lottery in slow motion" and it also fulfills the gambler within, keeping me from making sucker bets that I know are long-term losers.

I'll delete this in a day or two... don't need it floating around the Internet. But if you seriously want to continue to gamble without actually losing, this is how you do it.

Inspired by Snipes I have decided to write down one of my own degen stories from many years ago. One that finally stopped my crazy rampage and made me the person I am today basically. A gambler with a secure, high paying job and a safety net that means I literally cannot gamble away my salary or net worth anymore.

To begin the story, and what makes it special, are the circumstances. 10 years ago I was part of a local project in my city that would either go bust or earn me a ****load of money. The later happened and I was set, we picked a beautiful apartment with my soon-to-be wife.

We signed the pre-contract which made us deposit 10% of the price of the flat in advance, the rest is paid by bank transfer within 7 days. So far so good, and you can probably guess what happened...

I went down to my local casino with a friend of mine in order to play "a couple of hands" of Blackjack. This in turn led to near complete disaster. We went to the casino around 4 in the afternoon and were alone at the table, playing 2-3 boxes each, smallish stakes. I was breaking even when they changed dealers and everything changed basically. You know that feeling where you do ANYTHING you just cannot win. Double on 11 vs dealer 3, get a 2 and dealer gets 2, 4, 3, 3, and 6 for 21. Get Blackjack on 2 boxes only for the dealer to get the same as well for a split. Stay on hands like 14-15-16 vs a 6 and dealer had an A every single time.

For hours whatever we had, the dealer would never go bust and always finished higher no matter how we split it up, changed boxes. This put me on super-monkey-tilt and I started to cash out from my card (which at the time was without any limit) and just lose and lose and lose. And every single time I did not think, just went back and took out cash.

Fast forward 6 hours, I am down $13 000 in local currency and I am a dead man. I have one last shot at either go bust (I could not stand the fact to take out more cash at that time...) or win it all back. Note that if I lose I will lose my deposit that I paid, I will lose the apartment, and most likely my gf at the time. I simply did not have the $13 000 that I lost.

Luckily, and I still dont know how, it all changed again and within 4,5 hours I won it all back and actually left the casino up $1200. I was playing 4 boxes at the end of the session and finally hitting every double, making the correct stands and the dealer actually busted when he should.

By that time, and specially after I got home, I was in total shock. I was basically chain-smoking and throwing up from stress and the stupidity that I did. To risk everything I had and potentially will have, to risk the possibly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make it was such a sick feeling that it made me physically ill.

It all ended in a good way, but the possibility and risk of everything going south is way worse than the $1200 profit that I made during those 10+ hours.

***UPDATE.

Guys so I lost my parlay yesterday..at one point it looked doable but then it ended 3-3 lol.

Anyways at night my old degen friend told me lets gamb0l and do some casino. We didn't know how to get $ on anywhere and we both have perma blocked casino on all our betting sites (this is another problem maybe I'll get to another time that I used to have). Anyways we got on this site called jackpotcity in Canada..dumped about $200 at night on BJ..seemed rigged as usual. Fast forward to today.. I steal another $50 from the parents and wit hthe bonus I'm at $100. I play black jack and get it up to $300..I go check what my rollover requirement is and it's ridiculous as expected but the issue is that I'm playing $25-$100 hands and the rollover wouldn't budge. I contact live chat and they tell me blackjack only counts 2% towards the rollover..only slots counts for 100%. I was mega tilted..told the guy on chat that I have no issue with him but that I am so angry I could take my dad to the park right now and throw him off the top of the slide. Anyways..had to roll it over..and my degen friend is watching this all unfold on teamviewer.

I go play slots..I hate the 5-6 line progressive bull**** because I don't understand it. I never got into slots..I know how the basic ones with 3 rows and #7s and cherries and BARs work but the new stuff? It's so totally ridiculous and complicated to me. So I pick the last one on the list of maybe 100 diff types that they have and I roll over a solid $200 of the $2500 required and break even. At one point I got to $550. I take it to TARZAN slots and get from $300 to $500. I decide to go play these wild kitty slots where it's just a bunch of cats and their faces because I used to hate cats but I love them now so I figured it was a sign.

Few spins later..(I was spinning $5 a spin) I win a jackpot of $4600. Now I should be really happy but since I literally need like 10-12k by tomorrow I was hoping the number would climb to those levels but it stopped at $4600. I checked the rollover left...$1500. I figured worst case I withdraw $3k from this site and I bet it on a 2 gamer and I can be free if I just go 2-0. I ended up rolling over and walked out with $4k. What am I going to do now? Not sure. But for now this is my update.

Incredible. I am sitll hoping I have the same result as you even though it's probably over for me. WELL DONE

Cancelled the 4k withdrawal..ran it up to $4700 on slots. Lost it all on BJ. To the guy who said he wouldn't mind seeing me lose it all back..your wish has come true. To those who think I am fake..not sure what part it is I'm talking about that seems fake. Guess you're not a degen, can't relate to this and good for you.

If what you write is true then I feel generally sorry for you. You need to step up and sort your **** out or you will make it even worse. I do not know how that would be possible at this point, but it can. I assume if you are unable to pay back bank/credit card debts it could affect your parents life and in worst case end you up in jail.

There is no jail here. Worst case I cannot pay my parents' bills and I come clean. Nobody is sending me to jail. To some coming clean and admitting that you're a degen to their parents or loved ones isn't as difficult as I am making it seem. But it is to me..but now I have no options. Going to make some calls..see if someone can loan me $15-$20k so I can cover these bills and start over. In the end though I am going to end up here again maybe it's time to come clean and time for my parents to understand that I'm not a golden child, rather I am a major **** up.

What I mean by that is that hopefully your parents will be able to pay back the debts. If not there are obviously both financial and legal consequences. Either way, wishing you luck.

payouts better on higher stakes slots so 4k to 20k should happen a bit more often than 100 to 500.
