Those are the iconic words of my last (more or less) 6 years since i was 22 and now im 28, and approximately 67k in debt due to online sports gambling..NEVER TRUST THOSE DAMN BOOKIES that pretend to be your friends and listen to your shit and then when you’re feelin soft or tired out, convince you to put $ down on a game – my debt is all credit card / personal loans / to my mom even…. Damn. It’s so insane considering in the past year, ive had two runs … once i made 72k in like 2 weeks in June 2017 , then lost most of it, then again 75k in like 10 days in July 2017, and this is all hard cash. I know baseball, but at EOD, looking back at it, and how many great runs ive had followed by great losses, this is the undeniable truth: no matter how well you know any sport — you could be Serena Williams’ friend, and she wont tell you to bet your hard earned money on her, cuz guess what? Anyone can win on any day, and momentum is not something that is “tangible” so why should you bet something “tangible” on it — unless of course you realize the money in your bank account is just a digital representation as well. It’s sad because I treid so hard — placing 700+ wagers between Feb 1, 2017 and March 19, 2018 — and what did I get? Despite all my hard work and time spent watching games , biting my nails htrough many of them, and laughing / crying even, and I am down 60k+, and htis does not even account for the international fees, bank advance fees at times, etc. It’s crazy! I am definitely a fool , and I realized that last night. I closed my account with BetUS, and told them under no circumstances should you open it until 2019. This gives me itme to recover and focus on my goals in 2018. I realized so what, if I am broke? I make decent money for Silicon Valley to survive and enjoy my life. I’m no longer going to be controlled by this addiction. I highly suggest any of you to reach out to me if you want to talk because I have so much experience dealing iwht the highs and lows of this horrid crack- like addiction. Wish you all a great , gambling-free day!
