I guess Gambling just isn't for me

Haven't bet or gambled in a week and than today decided to deposit $200 online and make some parlays.

One 4 team parlay ending go 3-1 $100

One three team parlay went 2-1 $100 Colorado up 8-6 going to bottom 10th and the rest is history.
Going 6-2 and losing money.

I also played poker at a friends for the first time in a few weeks.
Lose $250 I get KK and hes got AA. by the flop hes callin my all in with
a Q 3 8 board rainbow.

I just can't win money in poker any more. I use to be good but now everytime I play I lose atleast in the past couple times I think I've lost.
Just getting no luck getting rivered, I have a flush he has a higher flush just nothing going my way. I don't think I will ever be able to win no matter what I do sports or poker or anything gambling related. I just can't win anything to save my life.

Do you think its just a very bad streak or some people are born lucky and some aren't? A few months ago I was up like 6000 and now the amount I didn't save is pretty much gone. I just feel any time I bet or play poker I'm going to lose. At first when I deposited I said I'll put it on LA Dodgers -1.5 instead of parlays but I didn't and lost a 3 teamer on a Colorado fuck up.
Even the two other games I liked won. So I go 8-2 on the day and managed to lose money.

Don't bet parlays, only straight bets and take some time off. I am taking a few months off after the college world series until football.

good luck.

I understand where you are coming from. Take some time off.

Two problems that will lead to a quick gambling demise, and ones that we've all been guilty of at one time or another (at least one of the two):

1. Poor money management. Betting 50% of your BR is a perfect strategy for tapping out.
2. Parlay betting. Leads to very high variance which when combined with poor money management is a recipe for disaster. Most people can't handle the highs and lows of the parlay roller coaster.

What the hell do you want a pep talk???

Just stop if you suck

How many times are you gonna make posts like this? You've told the forum you're gonna quit gambling numerous times.

What the fuck is wrong with you? Seriously. Follow through on your promises, you lying, degenerate fuck. People who repeatedly don't keep their word deserve to lose their money.

I've suggested you get help in the past, but obviously you refuse to do so. Combine that with the fact that you're a dishonest person, and I'm happy you suck at life. I truly am.

Get this drivel to the Rubber Room already.

Heres a tip...

DONT BET BASEBALL!!!!! And parlays in baseball, my God no wonder you're losing. Baseball is THE hardest sport to handicap. The Yankees got swept by the Rockies, need I say more? Its hard enough picking ONE winner in baseball let alone 3-4 straight. Ever since I quit betting baseball completely I've done nothing but win $, but hey thats just me.
