I am so angry at myself for blowing the $46k I won earlier in the year

KingofNicotine · Jun 20, 2012

Now that time has passed I can tell you guys what really happened.

I won a 14k parlay on a Friday and that brought my total to $42k. The next Monday I was already down to $21k but managed to win $10 the next day and brought me to $31k. Then by the end of the week I was somehow at $46k and I just lost it.

I started betting $5000 on the Bobcats moneyline and other dumb bets. I screwed up big when I found out 5dimes has no limits. In one night I lost $10k on the rockets. Before long it was all gone. Then a couple of days later I deposit $500 at bookmaker and somehow turn it into $4k that same night and then blew it.

A few weeks later at Heritage I went from $500 to $8500.

I lost all that as well. I think the reason I never take out the money is because it's such a hassle for anyone in the US to take out money. I am tired of how difficult it is to take out money in the US. I just might quit this until they do something about it. It's a joke how we are treated here in the US.

I blame it on myself but also on how hard it is to take out money. Paying $110 to take out the max p2p is a joke. It's a fucking joke.

can you call the books and put limits on your bets?

or are those big limits how you built it up to begin with?

KingofNicotine · Jun 20, 2012

Not really. I was betting at 5dimes and I was betting $2500. I think for spreads in basketball it's $5500 and then they let you bet again after a few minutes.

I hear you.I can tell by your post although it is a lot of money it was not rent money.
That's the good thing.
Bookmaker has a non advertised way to make cheap large withdraws.
You need to ask them about it.
It's not on there site and I don't think it's a good idea to go into detail on here.
Just call them

Sorry to say this KON but the only joke is you losing the 42k...

Wouldn't you of rather pay those fees and have the money in your pocket?

Hell...just take a bit a time...no reason to hurry...

You are just like a friend of mine - no matter how much he wins he is going to give every cent back plus more. I watched him lose over 100k of his own money in a casino after he had won 150k of theirs. That is right - a 250k swing in one evening - all on $100 slot machines. That 42k would of been a fat down payment on a home...or a nice new car...could of been anything. IMO you really need help - and don't take it personally - I just am genuinely worried about you.

You should definitely quit. Obviously you have no dicipline, so why beat yourself up playing this game? Getting up that big and blowing it all would destroy me. Luckily, I'm conservative and know how/when to take profits.

Its pointless to chase at this point, because the same thing will probably happen to you every time unfortunately.

KingofNicotine · Jun 20, 2012

The max amount p2p was less than 3k a week and you had to pay $110 every time.

Checks were around 3k and you had to pay $100. It was a joke. I tried that bitcoin stuff but it's not even worth it. Can't they make netteller for Americans.

So if my math is right you would of paid around $1500 to get all of your money. You would of had over $40k. Guess that isn't a big deal to you...hell for all I know you could be into rocket surgery or some crazy field and not need the cash!

Sorry KON. I know how much that must hurt, even harder to admit.

When people are telling you to seek help, I hope you don't see it as an insult. People aren't perfect and we all have flaws, this maybe one of yours, and hopefully Gamblers Anonymous or some other outfit can help you come out of this a little better and stronger. Again, I don't want to throw salt int he wounds, losing 40k has to hurt. but if you cannot win you hit the score of a lifetime, you may pyscologically may never able to win.

Gambling has a negative perception for a reason. It is an addiction.

Start here http://www.ncpgambling.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=1 get some help. It's not an insult. Its something you should do for you.

Good Luck KoN.

Look, I only ever deposit around $100 here and there, it was only after that huge loss that I made a few deposits over that amount. I'm only reckless when using the house's money.

kidman232 · Jun 20, 2012

kon- no offense but you are a degenerate. no matter how much you win, you wont be happy till its all gone as you keep chasing the high. your like a dog that is chasing his own tail and can never get there. get out of sports betting or you will just continue to do this over n over again

That was YOUR money man. As soon as it was in your account it was just as good as money you deposited yourself! Do you honestly not see it that way???

elk102873 · Jun 20, 2012

So you weren't able to cash out any of it and spend it? I thought you pulled out about 15 grand or so of your winnings...

you didn't spend a penny of that 42k on something other than gambling?

ALSportsJunkie · Jun 20, 2012

If you are going to be reckless you might as well use a local. At least then you won't have to worry as much about taking your money out and you can get paid..or pay up..every week. Of course credit wagering may not be too good for your health.

gynecologist · Jun 20, 2012

I'd like to know how you were turning small money into big money with ease?

What kind of bets were you making? were you following someone or betting your own stuff?

These guys make a good point.

I pulled out around $5k after two W U withdrawals and the people there would ask me for everything like social security, had to take a picture, I think they even asked for a rectal exam just to take out the money lol

I heard those offshore use those kinds of stall tactics to discourage players from withdrawing money, then the player just says "fuck it" and gambles it away eventually, pretty messed up.

At least you got to enjoy a small percentage of the cash so that's cool...
