No I dont play offshore any more. I dont stop betting until all the money is gone. Thats the problem. And betting money that is needed to pay rent, bills, groceries, etc. Every 2 weeks I have $0. Just stop and pay your bills you say? First off its an addiction. But the amount of debt and damage I have done at 41 years old is beyond comprehension. My brain thinks the only way out is to go on a massive run...and I have! But I still lose it all because its never enough. I'm like 100k in debt. My car is 21 years old. I'm getting sued left and right. I make too much for chapter 7. Chapter 13 sucks bc you still gotta pay a lot of the debt back. And then the lawyer wants 4000 just to take your case.

Tom you have a 736 and debt free and 200k because you probably seperate your life roll and gambling roll. You probably pay your bills instead of trying to double or triple that bill payment in turn losing it.

I got rent due tomorrow and car insurance about to lapse. Cant get any money from family. Have no friends. Already owe co workers. I dont know what the f im gonna do. I've tried to kill myself 3 times this year and twice last year. At 21 I could fix this. 41..im fkd. I got $4 til Wednesday and i cant even deposit the $4 bc DK min deposit is $5.

I'm tired of robbing Peter to pay Paul. It gets old. I even tried demon summoning and theistic satanism. Desperation is worse than any physical or other mental pain you can have.

Trust me when I tell you Woj, I was pretty much in the exact same position as you on January 25 (less than a quarter to my name, ************ maxed out, making $17/hr with 0 benefits or even health insurance). 3 days later everything seemed to turn around hitting for 108k but it wasn't that simple.



My next move immediately following that was to make perhaps the most retarded parlay in parlay history. I had close to 50k in BALT/SF Futures so instead of doing the smart thing & letting it play out, I was so delusionally confident in that earlier cap, I pressed my luck trying to get to 234k with the extreme liklihood of ending up with only 20k after just having 108k.



Luckily I at least had the good sense of not waiting out both results but cashing out 14k on the parlay after Zay Flowers 2nd retard play fumbling at the goal line & winning 16k on SF live to at least end the day with 50k. The reason I bring all this up isn't to gloat but to show you where all this began & the importance of a positive mindset. For some reason I wasn't bummed I just blew 58k from the original 108k but actually energized how I didn't end up with 20k. I put 25k in the bank & left 25k in & from there, everything sort took off. There's been plenty of ALL INs along the way & I even had to reload twice but the main reason I'm currently at 200k is cuz I don't leave everything in the book like you but frequently WD so I have that security blanket of being able to go ALL IN knowing I could always reload. You're only 41, I'm gonna be 49 this month so it's not like you don't have plenty of time to turn it around. The best advice I could give you is to open a HYSA & once you build a bankroll, keep WD after a certain round number like 10k while maintaining that balance. Easier said than done but that's exactly what I did to get to this point instead of betting everything to my name in a moment of desperation. There's a site called yieldfinder: find one you like & open an account for as little as $1 knowing you'll at least make interest on your WDs instead of leaving it in the book to piss away. That's pretty much the best advice I could give unlike certain "Father Flanagans" on here telling you to "drop it & forget it" since we both know that'll never happen for either one of us unless we hit the fukking Powerball.

A long gone friend once chose bankruptcy 30-40 years ago. Afterward he said to me that he was the 2nd best option for lenders other than 5 star credit accounts. The reason, he had no debt and a clean slate. Haven't been their so not sure what liens may or may not carry forward?

All my best bud.

[Madison]

Woj, you're a veteran of the forum. So, we respect you.

I never tell anyone what to do. Some honest advice:
*Gambling isn't the end-all.
...We have fun with it. It's a recreation.
...Drop it and forget about it. There's a saying that you can always come back later.
...It's honestly not worth the aggravation. Don't create extra problems.

Easily Just my opinion. Wishing you the best.

Been gambling for 60 years. Started pitching nickels and dimes, then baseball cards. FKN moron (me). Every time I see a Mickey Mantle rookie card I cringe. Had probably 4 or 5 at least. Easily gambled over 1MIL and still here to talk about it. Problem is my nerves are SHOT!!!

Chucky this story is for you. 5/6th grade. Gang got together pre school to pitch cards against a wall. Early on I realized we were ruining the cards, so even the winners were losers. So, Madison, came up with a creative option. Convinces the pigeons that we were ruining the cards. Why not go to the adjacent baseball field and pitch closet to home plate. Course I had practiced for weeks. Wiped the entire school of ALL cards. Had them stuffed in my bb cap pockets you name. Then came the demon of all demons (My fifth grade teacher). She confiscated them ALL. Never got them back and to this day wonder what they may have been worth.

[Madison]

Woj, you are still a young guy. 41 isn’t over… I know it feels like the world is crashing down on you but you are 41 and $100k isn’t the end of life. Yes you clearly have a problem. Desperation is awful. You should seriously get some help and move on from all forms of gambling. You already know how it ends win/lose. Easier said than done and I’m not on a high horse telling you this but there is help out there. Taking your life is not an option.

You have friends here.

This. I had to give up gambling for a living at 36. Daughter. Had to become "Normal"?? Was the toughest next 20 years of my life. Problem is, as you stated. Few friends, and NO ONE who I could relate to. Incredibly tough to assimilate back into a society with brown bag lunch carrying normals? Still gambled, and had a few moments here and there, but never the same.

1) We started pitching Quarters against the door at recess. Guys would say that the shot was "too flat" as if it was a softball pitch.

2) I got to Churchill Downs as a youth on a family trip. I saw the Daily Racing Form, and my mind was blown.

3) I had the cards, too. Yeah, you think about if you had just put them in plastic. Would have been nice to preserve them.

4) As for that teacher, I'm guessing that she was not good looking. I think she had pent-up anger. Confiscating your cards? Has the Statute of Limitations run out? If you see her selling that Mantle rookie at the next show, maybe we can still process her.

I want the best for Woj but I’m definitely not the guy to consult for advice. Just offering up what I know. I’ve pissed away more money than anyone. I’m lucky I have the income to support it. Normal friends are boring as hell! Most of my friends are a group of swashbuckling pirates who drink, gamble, blow rails, etc… a real collection of mutants.

Good stuff. Doug, the truth for you and about you is you came up with a gameplan after getting your nuts kicked in many times. It’s rather impressive really. You are an all in guy and will go down with the ship win/lose. You also have a set of steel balls. You are one of the few guys I’d want in an alley fight with me. Cheers.

[ThaWoj]

I hope I'm wrong about these but I'm sure they'll hit

NE +2.5 top pick

Saints +2.5
Chargers
Az +3.5 but not as strong as I originally felt

Oh well who gives a fk

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Woj, maybe OldBill can teach you the finer points of how to steal scrap metal

[ThaWoj]

Heres a fun fact about satanism. A lot of them don't believe he's an actual deity. It's a metaphor for being your own God. But theistic satanists do worship him as a God or the God/father. Anyways. I had been meditating all morning and giving "energy" and such. Studying sigils. Doing some blasphemous things.
This was weeks ago. I asked Satan to provide me with fast, easy, free, harmless riches and treasure. I was making a live tennis bet and I went all in. I kid you not the payout amount was $666.66 when I typed the bet in. The bet won easy. So that shits real. But you cant just say satan/lucifer/asmodeus/deity of choice "give me a million dollars"...it doesn't work like that. But its real. I would sell my soul if I could. I like pain and suffering. But selling your soul doesnt exist either unfortunately.

Dont try this at home kids.

When you know you have a big paycheck coming again next month, it's much easier to slip into the habit of betting it all. It's not just you.

And you definitely can fix it at 41. It's easier than at 21 because now you cant ignore the years you have wasted getting nowhere.

You can make a decision to change your habit. But you just have to hit the real rock bottom and be able to genuinely make that decision for yourself.

If this is rock bottom it's actually a good thing. It means it only upward from here finally.


It will only take a month of forcing yourself to abstain and I think you will be shocked how fast the urge dosn't seem that strong anymore.

The other shocking thing will be just how much damn money you suddenly have spare.

You dont need to pay all those bills before you live properly. Just neeed to chip away so debtors can see you are paying something and they wont feel like such a big boat anchor.


Just Do It Woj. Know you can.

I hope you made a lot of money on the first 3 picks so far...I wont object if you want to throw me a bone. My tip jar is open.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Woj, gonna say a little prayer for you. It's the Holiday season. You should relax and enjoy yourself.

The games will always be there. It shouldn't feel like an Albatross.

Hope you get to smile in December. Hang in there, my man.

Thx for your support. Nothing to smile about when I cant figure out how I'm gonna pay rent, insurance, and everything else.

Much appreciated mj..it's a never ending struggle so unless I hit the lottery (which I know I never will & only play when it hits 1B), the struggle continues......
