how to get over it

[Huppercase]

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.

Turning 1,000 USD into 100,000 USD is quite impossible. If you manage your profits till you gained 100K grands then how come you lose after all? I think it is because of greediness. If I were you, I will secure 90% of my gains and turn into a real investment. Because risking your money in gambling is just burning dollars on your hand.

But he almost did it, by betting $4,000 to $90,000 but the mistake he made is that he didn't measure his risk, he blindly went all in and it back fire at the end. It is not that hard to split games to reduce the risk, in 4 independent bets, there is no way to lose everything if he is sure of how he turn the previous games and with that, more money can be made with those bets and continuesly but he put all his eggs in one basket and everything is all lost, indeed greed will make you do what even a newbie is not suppose to do, if he has actually won as he claim, that mistake would have been easily avoidable.

He should go again, gambling is about luck, a day will come when the $1M will be won but strategy must be revised and change to reach that level and hopefully, he hasn't sold his house by that time , you know gambling can make people do crazy things especially when there is addiction.

How come that you have nothing to show for it? Are you saying you lost all this money back to gambling? That's the spirit of a true gambler, they always end up returning what they owe to gambling, this is why we have to be very careful with gambling because even if you win today you are still coming back tomorrow,  and it's always a pay back time.

Many don't know that they are on the verge of getting addicted to gambling, they win a large amount of money, instead of them to look at themselves as a lucky man, they look at themselves as a gambling genius, that's where they destroy everything they've worked so hard for.

In your one case OP, greed of gambling have consumed you whole, if I can turn 1000$ into 100,000$ I will never return and if I have to return, I will start using small amount to gamble, when you accept that gambling and winning is complete luck, you will know how to gamble when you accept that fact.

It's a personal preference.
Others see it as luck. Others see it as greed. but for me, this is a complete skill.
Bro if this is true, then making money in a consistent basis is a skill. Where else can you have that money? Maybe OP also losses money, of course but that will compensate for his losses because the risk-reward of hit bets is like X100 and more.

OP don't get discourage by people telling you you can't. Because that is a skill if you can maintain the consistency of you gambling. Just know that having an aim of $1,000,000 is good, but don't make that a master of your life. And do your best not to get caught up of gambling addiction and overrisking.

It is possible if he just accumulated it over time; he didn't say how long, but if he said that it was just for a day or even a week, then that is not possible unless you are a heavy sports bettor and any kind of game you are betting on is all in. For sure, the OP learned a lesson from losing all of his profit or winnings, but the problem is that if he continues to bet big, he will commit the same mistake again. It is really greediness that even though you won big, you still want more. It is like you want to make the casino bankrupt, which is very impossible as for sure you'll lose all your money doing it.

Yes the main reason he feel that way because of his greediness which makes him lose everything. Greediness and addiction are link to each other and can affect our lives. Mostly the reason why someone cannot get over with his loses it is because he want to get back all of it or simply we can say it is because of his greediness , all people has a greed inside but we need to control it.

[Negotiation]

It is always tough for gamblers to control the urge of gambling when they manage to win a huge amount of money from the casino out of a sudden, as the desire to win more money will always be one of the key reason gamblers losing back their huge amount of winnings back to the casino. I guess that is also one of the reason why casino owners are not panicking about a player winning huge amount of money from them as the same player will just kept on returning to gamble.

It's normal because when we can win a large amount of money, we are triggered to repeat it and try to get another big win. But we forget that big wins often don't come twice but only once, so when we try to continue, we end up getting a lot of losses, even exceeding the amount of big money we got before. Besides that, the greed to win again will come and make us keep playing because we feel we can win it again. The casino owner is of course happy if the winning gambler continues playing because that's when the casino can turn things around and take the winning money from the gambler.

Winning is worse than losing in the casino, a bigger loss. Because the winner will come back to taste the huge excitement that goes through the head. Will play with bigger pot and lose all his movables including previous winnings. Once he gets his head into it, he loses over and over again to withdraw those lost coins, and it usually becomes an addiction. Win to win bigger prizes. Because of this, the casino owner is the winner, but ordinary gamblers are at risk.

A huge win may have that compromise you explain here but usually the people who win really big,I mean the jackpot of a slot or the max payout of a slot who has well over x35000 multiplier as the best payout can be a life changing event for many countries nowadays and as such winning big may be better much better compared to losing a big amount.

The risk of addiction is still there but it is in much lower percentage when you have made a huge win compared to the percentage found when you have lost really big,in this scenario the addiction is almost a sure thing as you would want to come back and get the money that you lost.

Getting over it is not that easy to achieve but we need to erase our minds over it and move on with life, we have to stop moving or thinking in the same direction while gambling, some will make looses and yet you will hardly noticed this with them because they have learnt how to move on with life while some will for some time remained ever noticed due to the intensity of how they were being affected by gambling losses and they cannot just let go or move on because of the cost it has left on them, yet we still needs to keep moving no matter the outcome so we can always get over it.

From the looks of it, the OP won't be stopping anytime soon as his target is not yet being reached.
And it seems that he has no problem losing good amount of money, hence, I don't think he will move on from sports betting yet.
One will get over with this seemingly addiction towards gambling is if he encountered a life-changing trouble in his life.
Like for example, if his loved ones found out what he's been doing, and decided to leave him. If he truly care for them, he will change his lifestyle.
Or he got into deep debt where he owed from a mafia gang, where his life is in danger if he doesn't pay his dues.
But if nothing alarming, I believe, would be hard for him to get over this kind of lifestyle as he will always go back to square one.

That loss will be felt by gamblers who win but don't want to stop after getting their win. They might find it difficult to get another win after winning in the previous round, as no one knows if their luck is still with them or has already left. But most of what happens, the luck will leave after they manage to get a win and will move to other gamblers. This is where the winners have to realize that deciding to stop gambling after a win is the best thing they can do. Otherwise, they would only suffer losses that could exceed the amount of their previous wins.

Gambling is not the issue; we have people with steadfast minds who can engage in gambling activities while remaining calm and acting as if nothing bothers them; these people have profited a lot from gambling and are either second-guessing their previous losses or looking ahead to generate enormous profits. Getting over our gambling losses is feasible for some people but impossible for others; I've been in that situation before and I remember it like it was yesterday. We all make mistakes, and our target is to either repair them right away or keep repeating them until they either disappear or cause more harm.

I wouldn't be really able to answer to this because I never had something like this. People should realize that this is not a common thing and unless you lived something similar then all of your ideas are theory in the end. I believe that we should not be considering the situation common, because in the end it is not that common and we could end up with a result that would be just a suggestion, or assumption.

I have never turned that kind of small amount into a huge amount, if I ever did I would probably take out like 5k of it and put the rest into crypto as an investment. Think about it, with 22k total wagered, OP made 800k+ profit, with some logic, if I put that into crypto, I would have probably had a million dollars due to recent increase as well. I think that's the best way, can't say if I would be able to do that.

OP is a hardcore gambler that always won huge amount of money using his small bankroll but never manage to withdraw anything out of his casino account because his target profit is so high that makes his bankroll bust before it can even reach half way of his high target. He has a recent challenge that start with 40K and he manage to turn it to 100K+ balance until he bust it all. He has the opportunity to take 60K profit easily with just 2 consecutive win all-in bet yet he keeps rolling for the sake of his challenge.

I agree on your logic that OP should take out some of it’s profit to ensure that he gets something before he continued. If he manage to remove his bankroll right after his balance is above x2 then I guess he will still have his original bankroll even if he lose on all of his attempt. His betting history only shows that he is already addicted and obsessed with the high profit target that makes him failed to win despite he is good on sports betting.

That's actually what I would've done if I were the OP. If I had just earned a lot of money from gambling I would simply cash out and stop from gambling for a while because it often feels like you could lose your winnings after a big win. The better option, as you mentioned would be to leave a reasonable amount of your profits in your gambling account and invest the rest in Bitcoin. With an $800k investment in Bitcoin you could potentially make a a huge profit. By now, you could have reached $1 million and in a few year, if Bitcoin reaches a new ATH you could potentially reach $2 million or more.

I think TS set the bar too high for himself, that's why he can't reach it and instead of coming out of the game a winner he comes out a loser. If I was able to multiply my bankroll like that, I would stop after increasing my bankroll by 3-5 times. Honestly, it happens that I finish gambling when I increase my bankroll by 30-50%, because if I continue to play further, I lose everything. The ability to get out of gambling in time is one of the most important skills in this field.

Not satisfied with everything that is obtained from gambling when we value that amount is very large why OP only wants to set $1 million when it is a number that is very unlikely for OP to pursue, he is only ambitious for greed when it is clear that if he now makes him lose a lot of money in the following gambling.

I would do the same as you, pull out all the money in gambling and put it back with a bet of 20-30% of the winnings and it is clear that 70% of it into our pockets is a large amount if the winnings are like OP, I think with the ability that is forced it will make him lose everything.

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.

Wow, what a story. I'm not sure if I should feel sorry for you or not because this is clearly an indication of addiction. Being an addict and not understanding when to stop is incredibly dangerous. You should always proceed cautiously, especially because we all know that gambling involves a 50/50 possibility of success. You should apply what you've learned after losing so much and change the way you gamble. Additionally, try to buy something physical that you can see every time you win a bet so that you don't feel awful afterwards and have something to show for it in case you lose the remaining funds.

 
    -  What is that? from your 1000$ starting gamble you managed to grow 100k$? or instead of only losing 1000$ you lost 100k$? did I understand correctly? Because gambling is always a loss and always a win.

That's why if you always experience winning there are only two things, either you are really lucky or you use fraud. Today, the loss of gambling by players often in a casino is normal in gambling and cannot be changed.

These are all separate bets from various days and times; his loss is truly terrible, and I believe that greed is the reason for him losing all of his victories. You never know when to stop with addictions, which is typically my problem. Until he finds a means to lessen his addiction, he will continue acting in this way since people with addictions tend to believe they can win all their bets at once.

The important thing is to try and know how to do bankroll management. You can always try and go all in in first few bets and later try and move some of the money to have for safe keepin and if you lose you can use that money again. Also try and get someone that can at least and try and help you control your gambling habbit. To tell you when to get out or at least to cash you out some of the profit and the base bet. You won big from really small amounts but you got greedy you should always takeout a %

[DoublerHunter]

In your one case OP, greed of gambling have consumed you whole, if I can turn 1000$ into 100,000$ I will never return and if I have to return, I will start using small amount to gamble, when you accept that gambling and winning is complete luck, you will know how to gamble when you accept that fact.

^That is definitely right.
Gambling outcomes are largely based on luck, and acknowledging this fact can help you make not to chase your losses. Understanding that winning is not guaranteed and that the odds are often against you can assist in managing expectations and avoiding excessive risks.
If you do choose to engage in gambling, starting with smaller amounts can be a responsible approach, allowing you to enjoy the activity without risking significant losses. It is important to set clear limits, both in terms of the amount of money you are willing to gamble and the time you are willing to dedicate to it.

But Unfortunately for OP, he has a very high target and it's a one-time target for one session the one thing that always applies is the longer you play the higher chances that you will lose everything, it's better for him just like what you said to double your bankroll then stop and come back again, strike while the iron is hot is not applicable in gambling because you have a house edge to deal with.
We have OP's new recent thread and it's a big failure he's now looking for a new sponsor but I doubt he'll get a new sponsor if they see his addiction and all his posts here, he's very lucky that he got a sponsor for his challenge but these sponsors do not want to waste money, its still their hard-earned money.

Unrealistic expectations and a lack of satisfaction in life's pursuits can be fatal. How can someone win a lot of money playing gambling and have nothing to show for it? Isn't that a horrible, shameful story that shouldn't be shared with the public?

If all the figures (money) you won at the bet had been saved, they would have amounted to close to $800,000. What is needed to meet the $1 million goals? The greed of $200k didn't allow you

You made a very big mistake of not being able to save or use the principle of always placing small bets or quitting a bet when you are at a loss but your desire to win $1 million blinded you to knowing when to stop.
