THE MOST PAINFUL DAY IN MY BETTING CAREER

[yazher]

That Pain could have turned into happy tears if ever you won that 260k. Btw, are we talking about US dollars? Even a 5K lose to me would already weaken my legs. I'd like to share my most painful day too relating to gambling. I was playing KENO on Stake gambling platform and I was on automatic bets. I left for about half an hour and when I returned I have lost my $360 USD. $360 is already a huge sum in my country and it pains until now though this happened 2 years ago. I think it left a hole in my heart. (teary eyes)

Hope you get to win bigger than 260k someday laycon.. Let us know in this thread if ever it will happen.

That's worse than losing that amount of money in the Altcoin scam investment. Just like what happened to me last year, when I was scammed by the person I trusted with my altcoin that has the same amount of money that you had. We both lose it in the sense of losing it to nothing. Until now I still have that memories there are lot of what ifs in my mind but we need to consider to forget about it and move on. to make ourselves free from our past mistakes.

Well, the pain should have started when you bet 5k in a parlay of 12 matches.....!!!!!
How would you do that? You should have a huge fund for gambling according to that.
Another plan would be to cash out. You were waiting just one match and the odd was 1,27 so you would not get very little from your expected return if you would have cashed out initially.

Yeah I dont think this story is true.  Why not cash out when ypu were up so big.  Would have walked with $130k ish which would still be a massive win.  Did you go all in with $5k for a 12 team parlay.  If so you know that the odds of that hitting are insane.  Crazy story "if true"

What was already money turned to stone.

This quote is one of the most popular proverbs in my country that mostly used by people who lose an amount of money in the brink of time for being unlucky. Well its said not to celebrate too early when you have yet not got the money on your hands, it must be the most upsetting time for a gambler who expects it coming and then suddenly lost it all.

Its always so tempting to win big, maybe that's why most of us gets rekt by betting illogically, because there's a big reward, if it does. It also happened to me back then in physical gambling in some roulette game. I was in a winstreak so i decided to go all in then boom everything gone in an instant. From that day on, i never bet any large amount that i can't afford to lose.

My brothers, when money is involved, you will forget whether you are a fan of a particular club or not.

Exactly, man. Of course, you won't bet on your favorite team knowing that, it has more less chance winning on the opposing team LOL. You should know when to set aside being a fan to being a gambler, as your interest/admiration into a particular team won't give you the odds on winning  . Which is also, a common practice I usually notice specially whenever I bet 'bout sports among with my friends.

Well by the Grace of God, I have seriously grown in the business, I haven't won 260k at a stretch but I have won more than that from bettings

Well, good to know. This is much better opportunity, I'd say. Keep this up, man.

The problem with the cashing out when you're winning some bets but left with those whom you believe take huge grace and encouragement. Though Cash out after the very few games in the bet sometimes look odd because the rest games could be successful after cash out. Some of my games last season where half cash out because of this uncertainty that happened to this dude, so, better to take half bread than to miss the loaf.

Cashing out would have earn him a decent profit but the OP mindset is winning the whole $260K with the remaining match which looks like a good bet for wining however luck was not the OP side the game casted and bet lost.
As you rightly said half a loaf is better than none the OP must have learnt a big lesson in gambling and other gamblers too would also learn to cash out at decent profit rather than losing the whole lot.

I also feel strange about this story, if this is a real incident. This is really crazy, how can you lose such a large amount of money.
Without thinking of doing cash out, there is indeed a very big risk of playing with the big parlay. So until now I have rarely played
the big parlay. I choose betting that suits my financial capacity.

[RokokGudangGaram]

Even though we already know that it is part of the game or we say part of gambling as there is always a winner and lose in gambling but hoping to win big is very frustrating knowing that you are very close in winning it.

That was just not your lucky day but I know that there is always a time for everybody especially in gambling, as we need a timing also together with luck then  winning a huge amount of money is not impossible. 260k winning bet should have been a huge success of your gambling experience if you were able to win it at that day.

Once you get most of the matches correctly eventually you'll start to believe on the parlay to hit. I've lost several parlays by one leg but only losing amounts I can afford. OP mentioned that he was about to pay his debts and from that scenario you can simply tell he's desperate to win a lot of money so he put it all in that parlay. It's easy to say he should've cash out but at the same time we don't know OP's options during that time if cashout was available on the sportsbook he's using or if he had enough money to bet on the under 1.5.

If you play big, you might win big but also lose big time. Sooner or later we all face the loss, sometimes even bigger than we envisaged or can take. But that is the risk we all need to count, it's inevitable. On the other hand we all need to know our limits, taking exaggerated risk is not a smart thing to do.

If the amount of money will not be too big, our risk of losing the money will not be too big. Even if you can manage your money better than other people, using big money will not be recommended since we have 50/50 chances to lose that money. Using limitations can help us reduce the risk, and we can also enjoy the game simultaneously without losing big money. So that will be your option to use big money or small money.

actually it is not 50/50 chances in gambling,it is 70/30 loss win or lower,because when we gamble as far as our experiences is concern?
we only win once in 10 trials meaning this is not the way what gambling is all about.better to enjoy the game than to look for winnings(let the win bea  bonus from our happiness while playing) and look further for Good views towards gambling.
i hate thinking that we lose because we are seeking for much winning,instead let us make gambling a stress reliever and not added stress.

I'm not saying I was an expert but it could be different when you have knowledge and skills in gambling. 50/50 is likely our winning/losing chance, it happens that we got a lower chance of winning it is because we are not knowledgeable of what we are doing. It may be 70/30 is acceptable for those who just come for pleasure but for those who want to win and get the jackpot price, they have to find strategies that will work so good.

Well, anything is possible when you're really a addicted player in gambling. They always want bigger and bigger amount or profits, that's why maybe 260K is still small for them to walk away. Their mindset will be always after the "what ifs" in their mind, like what if they bet those whole 260K in one go and win triple or even more, then that would be even greater than having 260K, something like that.

And the end would be always devastating. The house will always smell your fear and won't let anyone win once they noticed they are winning straight, that's why when you win, no matter how small or big it is, just withdraw it and call it a day.

It just good to say that until now, I did not yet lose 20% in gambling. Usually,I gamble my money to the games which I afford to lose. However, I have still experience in losing money in a day when I played because I have a problem in my family. I was depressed and the only thing I can do in my room was betting in different games. Yet, I wan unlucky because I lose 300 usa that day.

Conclusion, I already understand why we must not let our emotions ruin our game play. Everything that we do because of anger will have a bad result as well.

We experience losing of money in gambling even me I didn't plan to cash out when my bets are in winning. It is hard losing money if we cannot afford to lose. This really shows that we didn't let our emotions in control and when we're losing money already let's learned to stop the game. This is very important to plan ahead when playing games on gambling and if already in winning take profits and don't be greedy. Some really can’t control that resulted in losing huge of money.

That is without a doubt a big factor for the regret after all if you bet 5 dollars in a match and you lose that money then you are not going to regret it at all but when you bet so much money then regret will surely come even if you have the money to make that kind of bet, I hope we all take something from this story, it is fine to gamble a little bit and have fun that way but once your bets come to the point of making you feel so bad about what you are doing then that is the moment to stop and do something else.

^ A line that always repeated to say it here is this, " Gamble only of what you can afford to lose ". In that case, we know which level of self limit we have.
This is one of the best stories I have ever seen. The lesson here is very clear. It really is hard to pursue a betting career. But still, nice try my dear friend. At least youghave learned your lesson already. I hope you will get that 260K somewhere out of gambling. Because I know you can do it. Just try to put your foot on the water when you risk. Nevertheless, spending too much the amount of your money during pandemic is not a good decision, there is no vaccine yet,

I don't know if this one would be a good advise on telling for him to continue inspite of the situation that he's already losing that much.Why would go even further if you do saw that it wont possibly work
or would make yourself into deeper trouble?

Primary mistake of people is that they do really chase out loses and that's what make it more painful unless if you are really accepting those next bets would really be on the losing side
and the money spent isn't really part of your life savings or emergency funds.

Only spent on the money you can afford to lose.. Sounds pretty basic but people do fail on following this basic line.

Losing what you can afford to gamble is best framed as making gambling more sensible the alternatives of wasting too much on drink, etc.    Gambling like any game or sport has some justification is working best you pay attention, stay sharp and aware of the factors so involving and keeping you away from the waste of drinking too much every night, ironically it could be a positive even more so if it keeps your hands busy and away from smoking as much.   For some maybe it makes them worse but thats how I often view games, as a good past time to occupy idle hands.
   Another good rule to stay from excess loss is to divide any budget by a daily play rather then trying to roll a weeks worth to just a one off experience.    Often coming back later a day or so gives you a better chance and spin on the game.
