I'm a very small player but I lost 7K yesterday

Grog · Nov 17, 2008

I bet $50 a game usually. I've had a good month betting sports and playing online blackjack.

In any case I lost 7k last night playing online blackjack. I know this happens to a lot ofpeople. It's happened to me before. It's different from the actual casino somehow and can be more dangerous.

Obviously with the beer and the percoset a 7K loss is a big deal to a $50 bettor.

I lost the 7k and then put my last $1,000 on a parlay for Wash pk/ under 21.5 first half. Then I went to bed. Ended up getting some of it ($2,784)back with that gigantic parlay and I'll just have to live with the loss as I'm not looking to chase.

I pride myself on betting under control and this was an obvious loss of control.

How big was your online bj/chasing mistake? What keeps you from betting more than you should?

How many people on this site have either a drug or alcohol addiction? Plus they gamble! Sad.

bookmaker and then made some back at betjamaica. i think bookmaker may give me small rebate on the loss but that's just a guess.

Thanks but how do I disable in the 1st place? Thanks

Doug · Nov 17, 2008

contact the book.

I've never done it, but I think you have to call them.

Just Call And Tell Them

to block it, they will. And yes, BM returns %10 of casino losses ea. wed.! Quit NOW!!! The same principle applies to online casino wagering, as it did when I was OS and we used to use blank dog tags for chips in poker games vs cash. A guy will bet more recklessly when not using actual money, than otherwise, Strange how the mind works.

Probably $4,500 of that was money i had won in sports and the casino. Will they refund the net loss only?

Other than the obvious, there is something wrong with this story...

How are you a $50 player and then try to bail out w/ a 2 team parly for 1k? Granted you won, why would you do such a thing?
