I think it depends. If I lose a cooler then I'm okay with it. If some guy calls with garbage and sucks out multiple hands for my whole stack I go crazy. Losing money at machine is fine with me. Sports betting can be super tilting sometimes.

Drove my son up to Vegas to pick up some machinery for his business.

Stayed at Sam's town and got killed at craps, slots, poker and blackjack to the tune of $800 in about three hours.

Shipping the machine would have been $700. Now I'm sad.

Will be doing a live TR over in LVL again.

I have been a degen pretty much since i was 16 i am 27. My first bet was with my dad in a betting office i had 50 euros from my job as a bus boy in the local bar i did a 10 euro Soccer bet with like 7 teams needless to say it won and i banked a huge 1100 euro at the time this was 22 nights work to earn and considering i worked 2 nights a week it would take me 3+ months to get this kind of cash needless to say i was hooked. From 16-21 it wasn't a big worry for me i had countless nights out different girls every other week drugs and alcohol to keep me distracted however it didn't stop me punting off 100 eur here and there. I was quiet successful with live poker during this period i won a bunch of tournaments good for roughly 10-15k.
So as i reached 21 i matured somewhat and i kicked the drugs and multiply women and i was single without any girls i was interested in and a much smaller desire to party. I found online poker. Things didnt go so well for about a year was down maybe 1-2k over the course of 3k games however i had a decent job in the local supermarket packing shelves at night time and i was getting roughly 350 euros per week i met a girl and im still with her to this day i was honestly the happiest i have ever been in my life. This was probably the only 6 month period in my life that gambling ment letter to nothing to me. Until..

Me and the girlfriend went for a night out in the biggest town around were we lived i brought 200 euros with me and drank and partied until 2 am we were not living together so i hailed her a taxi and said id get the next one. I was lying however and i convinced myself to send her home and bring the last 60 euro to the casino and play 1-2 cash min buying 50 euro and keep 10euro to get a cab home if i bust. I ran that 50 euros upto 1250 from 2am until 7:30 am. I was amazed and drunk. I neglected to say i had a little dabble on pokerstars the day before and i shipped and $8 180 man for almost $400 but i did this on the family computer in the living room. So in my drunken delirium i decided to go buy a laptop from my place of work so i could play poker more online i met my manager and he thought it was so funny i was drunk and looking to but a laptop at 8am however he obliged me and i paid 350 for it i went home and i fired up the entire 400 i had into probably 9 tables of MTTS. Needless to say i busted everything with exception to the sunday spark $1 rebuy 3x turbo. I ended up ICM chopping this 3 ways for 6k.

When the dust settled i was so happy i bought a new car and paid some bills and kept a really small role thinking i was a poker god i got back into gambling sports and track everything you could bet on i would bet on needless to say i've gone broke so many times i would get paid on a thursday and if i had a bad day betting i would be broke until next thursday.

Fast forward until the present day i was ina really bad car accident 3 years ago and i received compensation in august of 2017 enough money for freedom in life not 6 figures but 5 figures. I left my job of 7 years and decided i wanted to get a job doing something more fulfilling. So after paying all bills helping my family out having an amazing holiday buying a car for me and my mum. I got into the awful world of online pit games i had so much luck in the beginning on 888 i ran 300 upto 5k on roulette then another 500 upto 7.5k. One day i lost 1k and decided it was going to ruin me so i decided to block all pit games. I was still playing poker on stars and i was winning good tournaments $162 bounty 4th place good for 3.5k and a few mid stakes hypers so i'm doing really well financially at this point.

However the inner degen in me was screaming for pit action so i opened a new account on an online casino Casumo. I deposited prob 4k over 2 days and after loosing 3 on roulette i got it back up to 6k. So i said id keep it there to play with over the next week i spewed it away so i was prob down net 9k and i decided i would deposit once more then if it went badly bar myself it didn't go badly though i ran my 1k to 8k was super happy and i had already verified my account so i said i'm going to withdraw and move on from this terrible game. So the withdrawal was processing while i went on a break to the uk ti see some family i checked my emails while away and my withdrawal was cancelled citing that i must prove source of wealth i promptly sent documents but they were nitpicking and said id need a proper pdf file letter sent from solicitor so i was unhappy and tilted by this as it would take me about a week to get this and its difficult to explain you need it for gambling purposes. I did well to stay away from the 8k for about 6 days but when i returned from the uk i couldn't resist anymore and i decided to go hard and try get some more cash i got up to 12.5k and i just couldn't stop i blew the lot and tilted away loads more cash i has liquid on various other sites and sports. I'm down probably 40k net in 6 months and nobody knows really. Nice to share my story though.

My advice would be don't gamble and if you must limit yourself to games that you can have an edge. ie Poker. I still play poker as i am decent and make some money but i've washed my hands of everything else but while im still playing poker i cant honestly say i wont proper degen gamble again its the chance you take though. On the plus side a job im really excited about has come up and maybe im gonna hit an upswing in life soon.

If you must gamble don't let it consume you and define who you are a life without gambling for me is something a can barely comprehend.

Thread is back on track!

This was a good story, hope you hit your upswing

Two days gamble free thats what happens when you try cash out when you chase and you do I a acca that gets you even and a load profit . One leg left,,, and you press cash out and wait and wait and then you get force close or wait as then phone you use haS bad tower signal. No worrys use iphone resign in and see that your cash out has turned into a big turd as derby vs norwich iso now 1-1 and that howard it finish. Like when eat and gets ill you aint going eat what madeira you feel ill again..

You degens that win at online poker, but lose at online sports and casino games because you cancel your pending withdrawals should consider switching to Bovada.

This past week, Bovada withdrawal checks are taking an average of just 10 minutes to get approved, so the money is out of your account before you have a chance to hit cancel..

No Bovada in NJ...

Even the regulated sites take like 1-2 days.

Easy way and only way.to enjoy gambleing is to never ever lose

Since that is impossible gamble will always be -ev for life and bank account

Any one who enjoys playimg solid poker is self lie {boreing as )

Play poker to gamble as simpel as that....

winning feels ok.. Lose feels like cancer (when lose any amount)

Gamble is the same as **** drinks and marriage... All legal all the devil.......

Hi my name is Eddie and I have a gambling addiction

Oh and

Oh boy, I am back here to read this epic thread

Another recent one for your reading enjoyment. Hopefully putting this down into words will provide some therapeutic relief in some way. Probably not.

It all started Thursday, February 15th. I'm scheduled to fly out of town to San Diego for a golf tournament the following day. Excited for the upcoming departure, but it's been a tough week so I call up a few buds to have a few buds to blow off some pent up anxiety. 6 hours, several tequila shots, and one pinky promise to get tattoos it's 2:15 am and I've got to pack and be up for work in 5 hours. No problem, gonna be a rough day but I can hit the airport bars in about 12 hours to take care of this hangover. Pretty much treading water all day at work, throwing a few BTC tennis bets down to distract me and pass the time. Well, also throw down 2 long shot parlays because I'm a parlay degen. Problem was at the time I didn't realize that the last match would occur while I was in flight(no wifi). Didn't even think it would get that far honestly, talk about a sweat. I turned my phone into airplane mode RIGHT as the last match was starting, anxious as all hell for the next 2.5 hours to San Diego. Queue landing, immediately pull out phone to check the result:

I checked the 5 team first obv as it decided whether or not the second one was live. It was. However URI couldn't close it out down the stretch and we went 1-1. Still Ecstatic. My buddy picks me up and we head back to his place for some drinking. And in my case more bets:

what a great start to the weekend. Can't miss, about to embark on 36 holes of drunken golf and fun with the boys. Saturday AM wake up and place a few more feelers which started as expected, great:

https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/b1...z09/r/2605155/

Feeling invincible. Had another bet pending on Fed -5 against Seppi which was risky considering Seppi has been playing out of his mind the last few weeks. However in his previous match to Medvedev he looked really slow on the second serve and I felt Fed would be able to jump all over this and get a few breaks. Things were looking great after the first set but Fed couldn't get a break in the second set and my first bet of the weekend bricks out:

https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/40...z09/r/2605155/

Not thinking much of it. It's Saturday, tons of NCAAB games on to ride out. Well. I'm no expert at NCAA, and my bet record from the weekend would show that. I've got about 1 BTC in my account at this point. I proceed to brick 6 games in a row and am left with .4 BTC. Not happy about this but fairly drunk from all the golf, we decide to hit the casinos and have dinner. At dinner I don't really remember doing this but place two back to back .1 BTC bets on blackjack, obv lose both. Sitting at .2 BTC I shut the online gambling down for the night and focus on the actual casino.

One small dinner, and 33 red bull vodkas later it's 1:15 am, I've got a mountain of 25 dollar chips in front of me at the blackjack table but I'm being escorted by police to the cashier, and little did I know, to the drunk tank. Apparently yelling and screaming, even if doing so in a happy way, is unwelcome by most pit bosses in America, and I had been asked to quiet down several times. When winning and drunk I am an EXTREMELY generous tipper, usually tipping as much as 50/ hand on 100 dollar and up bets. According to my buddies I tipped nearly 1k dollars throughout the few hours we were on the blackjack table, so the dealers were tolerating my nonsense. However none of this matters when you're handcuffed in the back of a squad car. 7 hours later I'm released from the drunk tank and I've got to make it nearly 35 minutes back to the course for an 11:00 am tee time. No problem.

My Uber driver, Bruce, was really enjoying my recap of the nights events so had no problem pulling into Albertson's so that I could grab a pint of Jack and some diet cokes to get the day started. Back to the room, quick shower, coffee, throw together a mixed drink and I meet the boys on the putting green, no worse for wear. The drinking continues all day and I'm feeling fairly invincible by about the 16th tee when a genius idea comes to mind. Vegas.

It's Sunday afternoon at about 2:45, I don't have to work on Monday due to presidents day. I'm drunk. Let's fly to Vegas! I was scheduled to take an 8 pm flight out of OC back to my home state but why do that when I can keep the degen train going? 80 dollar flight out of LAX seems about right to me so I book, planning to just uber to LAX rather than John Wayne. Little did I know that getting to LAX would be over three hours, and a 200 dollar uber ride. ****. Whatever I'm all in at this point so no turning back now.

I get in the uber and load up my nitrogen account. I rememer I've got .2 BTC remaining and figure what better way to pass the time than a sweat. Throw it all on a 2 team NCAAB parlay and pass out. I wake up with about 10 minutes remaining in both games. One of them is a sure thing, the other, well, it's going to be a nail biter. I'm sweating it out in the back of the car, my uber driver is trying to be friendly, I'm starting to feel the effects of the hangover and taking a turn for the worst. No problem, Stanford pulls out this win and it's all peaches and roses. Well, Stanford does pull out the win, but in doing so they win by 4. That's a serious disappointment to me as I had them at 4.5:

https://nitrogensports.eu/betslip/40...T09/r/2605155/

What made matters worse. I was watching on my phone and Cal misses a three with about 6 seconds left. Stanford can't claim the rebound but the offense tip is no good and Stanford secures the ball with 2 seconds. The Cal player appears to move towards him as if to frantically foul however changes his mind and lets the time run out. Crushed. I've now blown 1 BTC in the last 36 hours and feeling gutted, but hey Vegas!

Generally the only thing that makes the gambling losses feel not so bad is booze, and boy am I good at consuming it. Arrive at the airport, four beers in 45 mins, and we're on the flight to the motherland. quick power nap and I'm in an Uber to my hotel.

Pull out money, hit the blackjack table. Down 400. No problem, I'm a PLO wizard I'll win it back. Wynn 1-2-5. Generally an extremely soft game but when I walk up weathered, wasted, and ready to gamble the players had to have been licking their chops. Several poor decisions later we're down another 1k.

Here's an interesting tidbit I don't really remember. The first night in town I booked my hotel on Hoteltonight. When making my way back to the place after the night in Vegas at some point I went to the front desk and extended another two nights. Thing is, I never provided any card information. I woke up to the shakes and a pounding headache Monday afternoon. Three different Indian food meals from god knows where on the counter. I call the front desk to see about extending and they said I already have, I'm good through Tuesday night. I ended up getting essentially two days free as they had no card to charge me with . Not sure how that worked out, need to contact them and see what I owe.

Shoot off a quick email to the Boss man and ask if I can take the next day off. He approves. A quick shower and change and we're back at the blackjack table with a vodka pineapple. After three or so of those I decide it's in my best interest to try my hand at PLO again, this time Venetian. Same game, 1-2-5. Play well, having fun, drinks are flowing. Drunk sets in, gamble mentality. After 7 hours up about 1,100. After 8 hours, well, down 600. F this game. I'm a BJ pro anyway I should just stick to that, so that's exactly what I do. Mirage 50 min sounds about right. Don't really remember this part of the night but manage to torch off a casual 2k before waking up in a friendzy in my hotel room the next morning. Thanks atm receipts.

Tuesday morning. Should be at work, refreshed from a Monday night workout/ sauna. Not exactly the case. I still need to book a flight home for that evening, so while laying in bed I do exactly that. Tuesday flights were pretty pricey so I look at red eye Wednesday AM flights. While scrolling a see a 6:45pm flight for 75 bucks. Finally some luck. Book the flight, get out of bed, shower. It's at this point I realize I just booked a flight for Wednesday, not tuesday. Sweet, wasting more money. 150 dollars later I'm on a 7 pm flight, on tuesday, back home.

It's at this point while walking down to the cage that I have that sobering moment that almost all degens have when preparing to leave Vegas. The real world is looming, responsibilities, priorities, expenses. I try and take a quick mental calculation of where I stand but it's certainly no where good. This has been an expensive week. The next 6 hours is spent at Wynn PLO where I do manage to make back about 1k, which helps but is a small dent to the hole I burned in my pocket.

Auntie Anne's at the airport and deep contemplation later I'm deciding whether my next move should be AA/ GA.

Anyways, that's that.

Baby baby, that's my kinda weekend.

I knew Snipes would **** up and then claim to be over it.

I'll check back in a few months and see if hes stuck 6 figures.

You heard the man!
