Please ban me for life!

Holysmoke+ · Apr 24, 2005

I quit gambling and my life improves, relationship with wife and kids is better and I sleep better and enjoy work better.

I drain all my accounts to zero. I have even made over 4 dimes betting sports lifetime.

then after a few weeks of staying away from gambling I think to myself I'll see what the posters at the rx are up to. wonder what side they are on.

then I scan the posts and then the itch hits me and I post up and turn into the fvkn degenerate and cuss, ignore family, stay up late, check lines at work, etc,etc,etc.

now I know I can still check the posts if I'm banned but maybe I will do it less if I lose my 1500 posts and stay the fvk away from here.

so I ask you to ban me for life. I wish you all the best in life. Gambling sux so bad, I hate it.

I so hate the fvkn crooks that make a living off ppl's hard earned money.

the odds are so stacked against players making a red cent, juice, transaction fees both ways, its impossible to win long term.

so goodnite all!!!

by the way holysmoke, what game do you like tonight.?

SVT_Cobra · Apr 24, 2005

I've never understood this. If you don't want to play, don't play. If you get banned you might simply check from some other computer.

All the best

what does banning you from therx have to do with you betting???

are you saying the only reason you gamble is because you post at therx?

or are you saying you post at therx because you gamble?

are you saying you have made 4dimes gambling because you hate the crooks who make a living off your hard earned money?

or are you saying you hate the crooks who make a living off your hard earned money who made you 4dimes gambling?

i can read between the lines buddy................you need to hang it up...family is worth much more than your giving them.......

Unfortunately, if you check the NBA Forum you will note that Holysmoke must have made a play today on the Nets which no doubt has increased his frustration. That being said, this is no business for the faint of heart and it is much better to leave it behind now and give your time and energy to your family. You will be a much happier person and glad that you did.

I have made some real estate investments in Southeast Florida that have appreciated 130k in one year. Lee County Florida is going through the roof.

I am afraid of myself. Scared I will gamble more and more and more and squander what I have made.

Holysmoke+ · Apr 24, 2005

the rx is not my problem, I am my problem and maybe if I lose my posts I will be less inclined to stay in the scene.

Journeyman · Apr 24, 2005

if you have made 130k holysmoke you shouldnt be too worried , sounds like you're doing just fine.

Holysmoke+ · Apr 24, 2005

not if I turn Cecil Fielder

TheATMMachine · Apr 24, 2005

Holysmoke,just dont gamble as much! Bet SMALL amounts,I know a friend that use to bet more than they could afford to lose,he was miserable(much like you sound) I talked him into betting 2,5,$10 bets instead 200,500,$1000 bets and he is a happy man now! This way he satisfies his gambling needs but in no way interferes with his life,family,work,etc. You should try this!

Holysmoke:

In an attempt to be helpful to you, if you truly are afraid of yourself and that you feel it is possible that you could squander away a significant sum and adversely affect both yourself and your family, please listen to your inner voice and if need be seek assistance. It took courage to voice how you feel and you are by no means alone. But it is important that you take steps to help yourself and not simply believe that you'll be alright. Act on your feelings before you do something that you may really regret. Take good care of yourself.

"I am afraid of myself. Scared I will gamble more and more and more and squander what I have made"

sounds like you want chaos in your life.......you probably spend money on needless or expensive stuff.....along with gambling your money away...

I am going to say your young late 20's early 30's.........you like the fast pace lifestyle too i bet....

your best bet on getting on the right track.........is spend every free moment involved with your family...........that will curtail ALOT OF your problems....focus on your work .....quit going to the sportsbars with your buddies....and take your ass home....plan your days off......

i went through the same sorta phase, being reckless......you need a change or eventually it will affect you......gl

Banning you from the RX is not solving your problem, if the General decides to BAN you, tell me what will be different. thats just like saying if I move from Arkansas to Alabama I will quit doing DRUGS, wrong the problem is still there and always will be there unless I do something about my problem, samething goes with GAMBLING. Its not a SIN to tell people you are LOSING, I was a loser for almost half my life, I was a total degenerate, I borrowed money from every Tom, Dick, and Harry, but you know what I"m not ashamed of myself for what I did in the past, Holy, I can read right through you, I can tell you are losing gambling, it doesnt matter as long as you seek help now, please dont lose your FAMILY, all the Tea in China cant replace that. I wish you all the luck in the world...

dimeplayersonly · Apr 24, 2005

nimue..........scalping wouldnt work for him......

its the "excitement" not the money.......

Holysmoke,

You have not unearthed some new phenon, you know what I mean. Everybody wants easy Money, I knew Punters who couldnt spend the Money they earned, but tried to win it off Me, nothing better than taking it off a Bookmaker and bragging about it.

Like most normal people, you have to come to a realisation of your situation. Once you have given way to what you are as a Punter, life becomes very easy. To give you an example, I was all My Life in bookmaking and lived accordingly, but when I got out of the Game I still acted as if I was at the Front line. I have now come to the conclusion, which everyone eventually comes to, its all a matter of Time spent Vs Money made, I personally havent the time for form reading anymore, so I have cut back on My Betting. You must make the same choice, put less time in, expect less, have fun.

As for reading this Forum, select who you want to follow, set your stakes and enjoy life outside of Gambling.
