Do you guys find it's easier to spend money when it's a number on a sportsbook? I mean it's like it's just tokens to me or something. I won huge a week ago (posted, swept board if I recall) Then had my ass handed to me on Sunday before I chased with Texans pregame, 2nd half, in game, and Saints today. Then hit some wins in the live casino and suddenly I have a fat balance again. Bet Anaheim Ducks pregame parlayed with Saints under 70.5 and 65.5 in game. Bet the Yankees. I mean if I didn't have a fat balance noway I'm making all these bets
But it just blows my mind that I can sit here and play 50 dollar hands or play random slots in the casino like it's nothing.
So my 2 questions are...
1. Is it much easier for you to bet from your balance on a sportsbook compared to if you had to shell out actual cash to make the bet or transfer money from your bank account each time you placed a wager? Because to me, most of the time it just seems like a number on the screen, tokens to play with. My buddy has a saying, until you cash out you haven't really won it and it's not real money just numbers.
2. Do you bet more confident with a fat balance. Knowing you have more than enough to hedge out or chase or just the general confidence knowing you won't get cleaned out, not by a long shot. That's the case for me. 6,700.00 is my balance and all common sense and logic tell me to cash out at least half but all I can think of is placing fun wagers in NHL, live bets, MLB playoffs and especially wagering on ''action bets'' next NFL Sunday. Wagers I wouldn't make on top of my usual wagers if I didn't have a fat balance. Nobody needs like 7k to bet with. It's absurd. Yet I know I won't cash out. Maybe a grand at the most. It's sick.
I know I'll get the usual, ''sure sure, 6,700 in monopoly money etc etc. Well you can wager me any reasonable amount and I can prove it. The mods can hold the money and only pay out to me if they are 120% percent convinced. Also, who cares what you think anyways. Let's so for argument's sakes, I'm lying. Ok fine. Who cares. The 2 questions still stand....
Is it just numbers on a screen to you and you spend what you otherwise wouldn't? Like I just lost 200 betting dumb fun bets on live roulette for fun. If I had to shell out real cash I'd never spend that money even if I could afford it.
Also, do you win more and bet more confidently when you have a fat balance? I think I do.
Well, would love to hear some stories from the old timers or even my fellow younger degenerates where you hit a mini jackpot in a casino or went on a huge run betting and had a gigantic balance but just refused to cash out and lost it all or maybe even rolled it into something massive.
6,700 isn't a ton of money to an adult. It's still way too much to have in a sportsbook though. I'd say 2500 is more than enough. On top of the 6,700 I have 1000.00 riding on the Patriots -3 next Sunday. A bet I probably wouldn't have made if I had to pay a bookie or book cash or transfer from my bank account first. But from my sportsbook? La di da, just numbers..Patriots -3...click, click, confirm, bet accepted.
Alright then, mostly hoping to hear some interesting stories from guys that gamble heavy like myself and went on huge rollercoaster rides with their balance. There's ton of us out there and I never get tired of hearing those stories. Just like I never get tired of watching Rounders.
Hope some people have some. Or if there's an old thread about this somewhere somebody post the link.
Goodnight for now. Take care.
