Maybe we can sweat them for you.
I have 1k each on:

Predators +1300
Penguins +1700
Kings +2200
Boston +1200
CAPITALS + (can't remember not like they'll win anyways)


I've capitalized a lot of equity on the Predators to win the cup as they are about +600 everywhere now.

Actually I went bust a few times since mid Feb. I paid off all my debts which were 250. I spent 100 and busted 50 which was my personal roll.

It was all blackjack. Won a lot in sports but lost 100k excess in BJ. Vegas was the biggest..but online I was losing 5-10k every night. I have a problem. Clearly LOL.

Good thing is: My car is worth about 40k which I have. I have given about $15k to family and friends.


Went bust the first time after clinging onto my last 30k. I went to Vegas with a 100k life roll and I said I would try my best to not lose more than 1k LOL..lost big there and kept bleeding on online BJ the weeks after that. Got to 30 and started doing singles with $250 units. Couldn't miss for a few weeks. Got bored..pressed the entire pinny roll on a 1.3 (-300) in tennis and lost. Tilted the rest of my roll away the next few days.

Sitting bust and sad decided to load up $500 into an account during the NBA ASG. Ran that $500 to $3500 in seconds on BJ. Bet it on Team Lebron down 13 with 5min left at 8.25 (+9250). Hit. Ship it. Back up. Played BJ and won 12k more. I was so happy. Said I'd never do it again. Couple weeks of singles..another relapse on tennis. This time a -500. Busted 30gs and it all started with a -500 tennis bet for 2k (LOL?). By the way I was betting on games not the entire match. So after I bust that 30k I am sitting in debt. Bet 1k turn it to 9k. Bet 9k turn it to 37k. Back to the 30k mark. WOO! Swear I won't do degen **** again. This was last week.

Again load up singles using half kelly etc etc I'm a nit blah blah and crush for maybe 4 days. Again decide to bet 2k on tennis at -300. LOSE AGAIn. And now 5-6 days later I have busted again. HOW ARE THESE MEN NOT HOLDING SERVES?

Anyways that was a quick recap. It's funny because before I went bust last month during the whole TEam Lebron bink I was googling gambling psychs. I just felt like even though things were good I needed to talk to someone. I gamble like an Asian businessman in Macau. Problem is I'm a regular dude LOL.

Will keep you guys updated as to what happens. Good thing is I spent $ on top of the line **** like a stupid rapper so I have all these depreciating assets. People told me to stop once I cleared my debt with 250k. I pushed it to 400k and spent 100k and busted 50k. Whatever, life goes on.

I had a feeling deep down I would go bust even with all that money. My peak was having $190k liquid. I didn't think I'd go bust but deep down I knew it. The disease lies deep folks.

In play tennis and BJ ruined me. Even when I had 100-200k roll any time I would bleed on online casinos, the next day I'd hit a 3-4 gamer to get even. It was magic. Variance was on my side a long time.

Last three days this is how I lost my parlays LOL:

Day 1: To win 55k (Philly -275) loses to Indiana.
Day 2: To win 60k (Bucks -500) lose to the Magic.
Today: To win (100k) Philly had no business covering the spread so don't get me wrong here but I had Philly -8.5 and Reddick got fouled with 3 seconds left. Goes 1/2, Sixers win by 8. Last game on this parlay were the Spurs by 4 so I was anti sweating that hard. Unfortunately they covered so I had a miserable night.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Ex-Matt - enjoy the boner.

Here are some things I learned throughout this journey:

If you play 3 spots BJ and you have a sum of over 60 (20, 20, 21) for example, and the dealer is showing a 10 - he always gets a reverse BJ.

If you have a gambling problem get help asap. Even if things are good.

Call the bank and tell them to block all your cards from online purchases. This way you can't dump 5-10k on BJ like me every night. IF you need to buy something online go buy a prepaid or use your mom or a friend's credit card. It's brutal..but if you're a degen you have to be careful.

All my busted rolls started with me trying to make a quick buck. Risk 2k on a tennis match to win $400 profit. Fourth tier tennis I don't even know who's playing. Just bet the game to hold serve - lose - I go monkey tilt. Deposit online BJ lose. Next day parlay 2k lose. Next day 4k lose. Before you know it you bust 30k.

If you're a degen with a big roll. Consider yourself a winning bettor..place futures. I locked in 5k worth of futures which I am proud of. Wish I dumped more. They kept me calm for a long time. IF i had say 20k in futures maybe I don't tilt my roll off.

Oh and if you have 190k liquid and your 80k job back..PROPOSE TO THE GIRL OF YOUR DREAMS!!!!
Tennis in play is brutal. So easy to pick a player that looks a dead cert then plays like a h it.

Feel ya pain lost loads thinking I will win on tennis in play for small win or big losses. Tilting makes you chase, obviously no we’re near your amounts that must hurt..

Sorry ex-matt.

Countdown till busto!

Congrats, Snipes. Pull yourself away from reality for a minute. You'd kill to hit a parlay like that, have 60k liquid. Please for the sake of "future you" take 55k and put it away/ give it to someone you trust. As for the 5k, don't gamble it right away because if you lose you'll be scrambling to make it back. Take a break for a bit, come back when it's set in.

this is the degen thread, not the 'do the right thing' thread.

I have conquered by gambling demons and now only buy gold/silver bullion on line at close to spot price. Swings are small, can't get hurt too bad.

I like a good degen story as much as anyone, but snipes puts himself in a position again he was total and utterly misery with. Unlike that Matt ****er I wouldn't like to see him there again. For people like snipes - if he doesn't change - fu money doesn't exist. He will gamble away 100 mil if he got his hands on it.

Put at least some money aside that you can't touch and thank me later...

but a gambling addict can't quit any more than a drunk can put down the bottle or a junkie just stops doing drugs.

something bad has to happen and that's when people suffer.

After that win I think i swiftly lost 6-7k in a matter of 3-4 days betting 1k on a single here and there. Was light action but before I knew I was down.

Won a couple parlays and had a good BJ run to get even + win an extra 2-3k.

Went on vacation and didn't gamble a cent for a week although I did spend about 5-6k there. Was worth it.

Got to see the Dodgers @ Dodger stadium which was a first.

Came back today and was just watching the Clippers/Spurs game feeling all zen and waiting to place $300 singles tomorrow to start my MLB run. End up betting 1k on Clippers at +240 in play late and binking. (Took the cashout at 3k).

That's about it. Hopefully you won't be hearing from me and I will continue to just do singles and play golf. Let's see how long this lasts. Over Under is 1.5 days.

No actually it was about a 60k win and I had put in 2.5 so 57.5 profit. I was about 10-12k under..so it put me around 45-47. Spent $ on trip so I’d say life roll is a tad under 40k. Money is very very spread out so hard to keep track. Helped out my parents a bit so they owe me about 22k of it and then there are a couple casinos online that have 1k each (don’t eorry I have banned them just have to withdraw the $). Girlfriend I gave 5k for us to save..so as you can see my accounts are basically bare because 30k of 40k is spread out. Best way for me to live IMO.

I kind of wish I had updated you guys every day along the way it’s just so boring and pale in comparison to the -250k to 400k win that I never bothered. Next time it starts going degen I’ll be sure to update!

It’s true and that’s what worries me. When is it ever enough? Seems like $ is not real to me.

Play golf and bet your your mates who win. Give handicaps then the money get spread around people you love which is a lot more fun then some soulless bookie.... you are good bloke snipes stay strong and never bet to try win money as can’t beat books , best that you understand that ASAP and just bet for enjoyment and if you do that and still chase losses you will always be unhappy with betting as you can’t control it . Betting and hope will always be a losing bet in long run that is a fact .... unless you going to treat like work and and only bet when have edge then betting to much we’re it hurts when you lose is always going to be bad for your mental health.. bet for fun and when you see it like spending some money to enjoy yourself you feel better xxx

Brag : Got a new job, working from home making significantly more than I was previously.

Beat : dumped my entire ~5k paycheck online at BTC casinos / pokers over the weekend in a gambling bender. I am waiting for the 35 Coinbase charges ranging from $22-345 to come out of the account. I paid Coinbase over $200 in fees

Variance : I haven’t slept since Friday and have a big presentation for my new boss today. I’ll spent all my time gambling online and not preparing. Please run good here one time.

2018 has been a year of sporadic gambling and degen but it’s been big swings when I have.
