how to get over it

[macson]

I’ve turned $1,000 into $100,000
I’ve turned $6,000 into $80,000
I’ve turned $11,000 into $550,000
and recently I’ve turned $4,000 into $90,000

With nothing to show for it…I’m a sharp sports bettor, but I always end up going all in. I can never be satisfied until it’s too late. I always need to go all in.

I’ve been reading comments from my last post (turning $4,000 into $90,000 and losing the entire $90,000), and I can’t help but feel like shit.

How do I get over the countless failures? I’ve been chasing the $1,000,000 dream for years.

from your writing, it seems you are an ambitious gambler, that's not wrong as long as you can control and manage your finances but are you really targeting up to $ 1 million?  Are you not going to withdraw profits even when you have managed to make a profit of close to $ 1 million?

someone's failure usually occurs because of ambition and greed, you will only be trapped from your expectations of getting $ 1 million, get over it, and be a gambler who enjoys each process after process to reach $ 1 million slowly not with one bet!!!

Ambition is a good thing in gambling but it shouldn't turn into some kind of addiction. I don't know maybe you can see a psychologist to gather extra help about this. Because you need to have control of yourself while betting. It feels great to win big amounts in a short time. I had that feeling in the past but I knew where to stop myself from going all in just like you. Because I actually saw this as an adventure and put a target amount for myself to stop there if I reach it.

This formula really helped me truthfully. But of course your target should be as realistic as possible otherwise nothing would change about greed. Greed is really the biggest enemy of a bettor and one should know how to deal with it well.

Your goal is just too high. Maybe you are being megalomaniac. Since it's a game of probabilities, they are against you and it's really likely you are going to fail over and over again on your desperate attempt of turning few thousands of dollar into a million. If you don't want to lose money, just decrease your final goal, but if you still want to keep that goal intact, don't feel bad about losing money, because you have to keep in mind you are trying a hardcore challenge which comes with extreme risks.

Another possibility is that it is possible to obtain the dream of the OP, but it is likely they will have to invest more than one million dollars in order to fulfill their goal.

And in that case they might as well give up, save their money and get to that goal anyway by simply accumulating their money over the years, not exactly the most exciting possibility out there, but it is one that is way more effective than trying to chase those profits while gambling.

The OP's behaviour has all the appearance of being compulsive and problematic, I would have stood up much earlier and enjoyed the gains, but he can't stop, wanting more and more when he has already made considerable gains.

I think this is the question. You set your goal too high for your starting bankroll. Either you should set a lower goal or you should start from a higher bankroll. But it seems to me that even so, the kind of personality he shows would lead him to keep betting even if he got the million.

I think if someone is able to do 10x or 20x through gambling numerous times - he is definitely good one at it. Its best to focus on your own winnings when gambling. Checking loses regularly can worsen your psychology and mood. You may be more worried while measuring sports betting odds and your win rate would most certainly drop a lot. People would try and can't achieve those 50x like winning odds. We should always look on the bright side of life.

Not sure what you are asking for because it is given that you completely understood what is needed but you denied acting.

You have won multiple times but your greediness and your unsatisfaction leads you to keep losing.

better to learn your behavior and knowledge first before dealing again.and try to be contented .

Not every $1,000,000 dream chasers will end up with such an amount and if you don't know when to stop things could go wrong for you, I've estimated all the money you have won in bets and that's close to 1million, I think you should stop risking this amount in gambling anymore.

If you can't stop, find someone you trust and give the money to them, you are simply becoming an addict already, make sure the money is far away from your reach, and only come back when you have beat the addiction of gambling.

What you already have is good enough to maintain a good life, I don't understand what else you want, millions of gamblers can't get this amount that you've won, assume yourself luck and leave gambling alone.

I may not know the number of loses you may have incurred but one thing is sure, gambling had favoured you big time, the wins are huge.
Quick advice- it's best to stay guided, those amounts you risk are way too high and if you continue like that, you Y be forced to risk your entire savings someday.

He could have achieved his dream already if he could modify it a bit, maybe to complete it in two attempts of $500,000 each round, because if he manages to reach a certain amount and then losses it all in a single bet, that hurts even more than not being able to achieve the goal in my opinion. One should at least keep a portion of the winnings aside so that they can try their luck again and if they could do it again, they should do the same thing again.

What he does is he doesn't spare any of the winnings and spends it all on the next game, and then when the bet is lost, all that he managed to make so far goes away and he is back to zero. If I was him, I would probably do it systematically without being emotional.

Agreed, a gambler should deserve this fact very carefully. Because after gambling, if I can't save any assets, then at some point it will come down to zero again. i have to deposit money again. If a portion of the profits are set aside from the start, it can help in tough situation. Gambler must remember that if luck is good then everything can be easily obtained and if luck is bad everything gained can be gone in a moment. Taking risk in gambling is a very common factor but I don't think we should expect anything more too soon.

Behind his win, some losses might exceed the win that he will get or has already gotten. On the other hand, if he could stop in time after getting a big win, he could enjoy that advantage by celebrating. And it's not worth it if he risks all his savings just to gamble, even though he is a professional at gambling. Nothing can guarantee that someone can always get the win because this is gambling, so he shouldn't be greedy to chase the win after the win.

Well, you just don't need to go all in the next time you turn your profit into a huge one. The only one who can solve your problem is yourself but it doesn't just take overnight to get over with it, you need patience to yourself as well. I think you need a financial advisor if you still can't solve your problem, don't keep it all to yourself, the thing with those who have problems is that they know it but they aren't seeking help from anyone, especially an expert.

That is it, what I normally do is to take a break anytime I have a big win because that way is the only method to get out of the excitement of winning and wanting to go further on a higher wager stake that will increase the risk of losing at the end.


I had a very bad experience with one of the popular casinos we have in the forum when I won my first bet instead of quitting and taking a long break, I rather went in for multiple odds and increased the stake amount, and in the end, I lost everything including my first bet.

Ambition leads to addiction; instead of settling for gambling, we should take the time to figure out what works for us. It is not a straightforward journey to cease gambling; it may be decreased and limited, but it takes an extended period of time. I've been there, and I know exactly how one feels when his or her wagers produce in massive profits, as well as the breakdown feeling when it results in massive loses. Absolutely nothing has an advantage without a disadvantage, therefore we learned to scope our style and connection in everyday with the system's slow functioning.

This is key, just as people do not get addicted to gambling overnight, the process of leaving their compulsion behind is not something that will happen at that speed either.

If the problem has not escalated to the point of becoming an addiction then a slow approach seems like the best, simply decrease the amount of time and money you spend on it and do this for months until you reach your goal, however if things got so bad to the point a person is addicted then they need to stop gambling immediately and keep this going on for months as well before they can claim there was some sort of recovery, and even then someone which reached that point will struggle with the temptation to gamble again for the rest of their lives.

If a gambler has no contentment, he can't appreciate the amount that he already gained because of his goal to reach $1m. Hence, if he will continue chasing his dream it's very possible to experience more winnings, as well as losses. Because even you're a professional gambler (who's impressive to turn a few dollars to thousand) and able to profit in gambling but didn't set a limit, then you'll just continue what you used to.

Thus, it would be better to set a realistic amount to achieve so you can already stop after gaining a decent amount.

Indeed, we must not overlook the fact that addiction is an intensely personal struggle, differing wildly from one person to the next.

The so-called 'gradual approach' for gamblers facing addiction, though seemingly sensible, doesn't entirely take into account the psychological facets at play. A simple cut-back on time and money gambled might not tackle the core issues. We must explore the realms of psychological counseling and cognitive-behavioral therapy to help individuals untangle the reasons fueling their actions.

When it comes to addiction recovery, simply quitting is just the tip of the iceberg. The healing journey is much broader than mere abstinence. Individuals might deal with deep-seated issues, like depression or anxiety, which could have led to or worsened their addiction. Thus, emotional guidance and potentially medical intervention play key roles in the path to recovery.

Checking on his record makes me think that he really can make that goal if he will just be more patient. He can turn a few grand to a 100k or more multiple times. This show how he is good on sports betting since he almost complete his goal if you sum all his supposed to be profit. I really think that his goal is realistic for him.

He is not betting peanuts and turns into same peanut amount. He is capable but lack patience to go slow when needed the most.

Sounds like you are the person who could get 1mil but only if you start to learn addition not just multiplying for 1 big win.    Every time you win take half off the table and put this down as my costs.   Even the best mountain climber has to stake in a new peg for the guide-rope along the way or he risks losing all prior work done in the climb, so just secure your progress. 
  You are putting in alot of effort and risk when gambling, take some out for the cost of this dream win and soon enough if you regularly predict sports bets it will add up and you will be at the top victorious

[Dickiy]

Gambling needs patient,so that you don't rush into wrong decisions and conclusion. What I see about impatient gamblers is that they are in a rush to win. This occurs when you use borrowed money or money made for some important purpose to gamble,you will lack patient because your mind is not at rest. Emotion can also play a major role to impatient when gambling. When gambling one should have rest of mind and only take gambling as fun and not for profit sake so that you will have a healthy gambling life. Don't gamble if you don't have funds to do so that you don't end up chasing your loss impatiently.

Apart from acting hastily, they had also greatly exaggerated their hopes of victory. The factor of patience and self-control also plays an important role in every defeat. Those who don't have a strong mentality and are easily emotional will definitely be tempted to do it again with the aim of winning which they may not necessarily be able to get. Gambling is very disturbing psychologically, especially when using borrowed money or for other important needs. In fact, placing too high hopes on gambling is something that is very wrong. It's too easy for them to assume that they will win, so their vision changes where they think that they will be able to get a lot of money just by gambling, without them realizing that this is just a matter of luck which will not always come to them.
