I know this is the degen thread but stories like yours aren't funny. You should probably face reality. Soon.

i kinda know how PR felt now all night i was dreaming about what i would do with the 150k if i hit and now at least im at ease knowing the dagger came in now rather than 12 weeks later

i also decided to keep rolling yesterdays winnings

put on a 3 leg parlay, Redskins, OKC, and the hurricanes (pays 3-1 and covers NFL,NBA, NHL)

i feel so empty and soulcrushed driving all the way to the lottery office filling out the paperwork and submitting it lol



at least i get 10$ out of it i hope
Ok..GL

@briBro who said the stories were meant to be funny? Anyone who's been around the thread for sometime knows I've been fighting gambling addiction for years. It's the hardest addiction to kick imo. That's coming from someone who's stopped smoking cold turkey and was hooked on same nasty **** when I was younger. Idk why I'm responding to a troll but w.e you triggered me. I use this thread as an outlet so others can relate to stuff that goes on in the mind of a degen. I know why I'm here, now plz contribute something to the thread or move along.

I've been reading the thread from day 1. It's given me numerous hours of rof entertainment. I'm not trolling. When people start gambling with no chance of collecting, I stop laughing. Sorry if Im human.

You're just on a sick downswing at the moment bro, this gambling game is a rollercoaster. Before you know it you'll get that streak and your one time will come in. December is the best time of year for it too. If you're wise you'll hit the pits on Christmas Eve, that's the real luck box move. I've had winning streaks every Christmas since I can remember.

I'm rooting for ya buddy!
Fk yes bro! I'm in this for the long haul.. I had three weeks off this summer and grinder up 500 to 2700 over that time playing Aggro. I have the week after Xmas off, and no family or friends will be around (dead, in jail, or non degen's w families who have no time).

Got a check in the mail for $275 today as I came home from work.

The thing about horses, is I've been playing em for years and years off and on and if it wasn't for milkshaking, crooked jocks, and crooked starters, I would have won the bet. If the Florida AG wants a headline case to get free press. Look at gulfstream... those jocks chop all the money up and do everything they can to ensure a price up top. Anyone who knows the ponies knows I speak truth.

I would hit the pits w this $275, but instead you'll find me at Parx this weekend grinding my balzzack off.

So must hate all forms of -EV gambling.. Do you stroll through casinos and tap people on the shoulders during 12+ hour long slot sessions and ask if they are human?

Truth is in the long run slot players have almost no chance of winning. Your reasoning doesn't make much sense as I cashed out more than I deposited on all BTC casinos. Some stories here are funny, I know I've had plenty of degen moments me and my friends still joke about. Others make you question who you are really deep down,like taking money you know should be used for some important life event and putting in on the table and letting the cards decide your fate.

Degen is degen my friend if you can't take the down and dirty with the fun I once again ask you to plz find another thread.

Yeah man, ouch, for sake of scientific degenning can you outline what the lines are on each match. I'm really curious to see how big a gap between the three individual payouts vs the parlay are - with only 3:1 payout I'm thinking that's a huge sucker bet but am hoping I'm mistaken. Would be really easy to do math on, figuring payout gap and chance one of the 3 doesn't win by using payouts amounts on each match to determine expected win %.

Honestly though, parlays are just really bad ideas in general. They wouldn't offer them anyways. Just like how casinos always often offer side action for the degen that wants a big rush like betting on pairs or for the conservative player like taking insurance - those bets are always a bit worse than betting the standard lines.

You seem to be new by your post count / join date or you're a troll that's been banned before. Next time take your human concerns to a PM instead of clogging up the Degen thread.

my betting strategy is a little different its what made me a lot of money but also lost a lot of money

i need to win 80% of the time to break a profit

i like betting on the heavy favorites if i agree with the line
generally i like to keep my parlays at 2-3 games at most my logic is im going to bet on game 1 and game 2 anyways if i won game 1 i would oneshot the game 1 money onto game 2 so either way i need both teams to win so why not parlay it

lost most of my profits from the weekend on last nights parlay tilted played the bov casino and now im up like 30$ from last night lol

the lines are pretty bad today so imma prob parlay

raptors, clippers, GSW, and either the knicks/cavs
which should pay 1-1 since they are all heavy favorites

Dude, again, if you give exact lines of each individual bet and compare to parlaying the total it'll take anyone here a minute to tell you how good or bad an idea it is to do that.

Clippers win 1.49
GSW win .52
CHI win 3.57 (actually lost 6.25)
CLE win 3.57
SAN win 5.21
NYN win 3.29
TOR win .28
CHA win 1.49

If all won you'd have invested $6.25 on each for a total payout of 19.42 or 28.3:1 if you parlayed it.

With parlay you lost $50
Without parlay you won $9.60 which is still a pretty nice return of about 20% just picking huge favorites

For the record according to the lines:
LAC 80.7%
GSW 92.3%
CHI 63.6%
CLE 63.6%
SAN 54.5%
NYK 65.5%
TOR 95.7%
CHA 80.7%

If these lines are accurate, it means your parlay had an 8.3% chance of paying off.
However had you been paid it would have paid off at just under 10:1 so you're getting paid as if it would have come through 10% of the time.

This doesn't even account for line spreading to guarantee the bookies can't lose in the long run as well.

TLDR fold pre
