When you’re supposed to stop but the sportsbook pulls you back in

[NurseHub]

After all your hope had been lost and luck came through for you, then you kept on playing. I just hope you didn't lose everything.
Well, if I were you, at the point where you have just won, I would withdraw it and go home first to enjoy the fruit of my labour.
Self control, fund limitations and not being greedy make a good gambler.
I will not even advise you to stake a game again, you should enjoy the one at the moment.
My advice to you: learn to stop when you should. Practice self discipline.
State rules  to guard you while you gamble.

Yup I would say everyone gambling has experienced what the OP has posted,
maybe not on sports but it doesnt matter, it can be on any game.

I had it one on sports and on Roulette, down to the last wager after a run of
losses and boom - its a winner and we are back in the game.

I would say though, in my case those wins were just prolonging the inevitable
losses but maybe not for everyone!

How about we put it this way? The sportbook gave you winning compensation to take you home if you wanted to take a break, rather than considering it to be a welcome back. This is the festive period and winning that amount could be considered a blessing and a bonus to use and fund your Xmas expenses. Use it have fun with family instead of kick-starting gambling again which you might end up giving it all back.

The past few days have been rough for me, it's bad run after bad run, and because of that I was actually planning to stop for a while, reflect on what went wrong, and just cut the losses before things got worse. you know ( risk management thing...)

If you are feeling the need to stop awhile, I think you should as it will definitely help you, you will definitely get a better chance to tame your addictive tendencies.  The reflection on all of your activities will help you improve your gambling skills more than you had at the start of your gambling habit.

Casinos are always open for every gambler, so there is always another opportunity to wager money. If you feel that you need to stop for a while, I think that is perfectly fine, in fact, it shows that you are thinking clearly and acting responsibly. You can use that break to evaluate your mistakes, track your spending, and learn to improve your ability to analyze a match more better.

I think every gambler should do this, by which I mean taking a temporary break, regardless of whether they feel tired or are experiencing a losing streak. This is very important because it can help prevent addiction, which usually has a negative impact on daily life.

I would say that this has a lot to do do with discipline,and it is not really about the sportsbook vut your decisions. After winning it is important that you take a temporary break from gambling so you don't end up losing all what you have struggled to get from it. Gambling doesn't pull anyone back in, the choice is yours to make, if you go back into gambling then it is all on you and it has nothing to so with gambling pulling you back. it is funny when some people say that they gamble irresponsibly and at he end of the day start going back to gambling,  it is just greed

$300 is 50X of your initial $6.
Dont tell me you lost everything back to the casino 
You should have left while you still could. Even if you didn't leave with the entire profit. Take upto 50% of it out to your local bank. Just in case you lose the rest you will still be on profit.

I think a lot of people have been through this. After a bad streak, a big win seems to change everything and gives the feeling of "now it's going to work". The problem is that this kind of turnaround usually pulls us back into the cycle, that is, this is how an addiction begins that can generate more problems in the future.

My advice is that you reconsider whether it's really a win or if it's rock bottom pulling you towards failure; I think it's good for you to have balance in your bets.

But today, things suddenly changed.

It felt like the sportsbook read my mind. I placed a small parlay, just $6, and somehow it hit and turned that into $300.  Now here I am again, back to grinding since I have funds to play with. The year is ending and I’m still gambling, so hopefully this bankroll lasts longer this time, before I end up giving it all back again.

Just sharing my experience,  Anyone else experienced something like this?

Well I will advice you become very careful with this your wining this time, as you could get caught up with loses again. I guess you should use this $300 and settled your problem for now and know the amount that will be left as bankroll. Sometimes casino or gambling site behave like they read minds. When they know you are about leaving after much more loses, they compensate you with Small win or return back your loses, and this will trick you into believing that it's your turn to shine, whereas it is a dead trap to keep you Gambling. You better be wise, you could use that money to settle some end of year Dept or celebrate this New Year. Just a friendly advice.

Happens with me sometimes. I am staying away from sports betting but then I have a gut feeling about a game and I make a small bet that goes as expected. Then I start to feel like I have the cracked sports betting lol and make more bets that are more in hope than anything.

By the way it's crazy to turn $6 into $300 because that's 50 odd which is more plausible in casino than sports betting. Like if you bet on 2x you almost need 6 wins to reach 300 from $6!

Usually when I have such big odds it comes from multi bets on UFC, same game multi on soccer or otherwise some esports multi on dreamleague, etc.
