Thread: I can see how gamblers develop delusions when they're super lucky.

  1. #61
    I really appreciate my recent luck and after today, I'm just going to take a break from gambling on sports. This 24/7 obsession is too much. I have like $5-$6,000 in sports betting losses I'd like to recover and I don't think I really can, so I'm going to quit. It's truthfully less because of another account but I don't keep the money I've won for my friend, and counting that, I could be ahead or down merely a grand.

    I could Lose my first Cricket bet today. Bet Sunrisers Hyderabad $250 -170 and they're -115 now having already batted.

  3. #63
    They're -165 now and at one point touched to be even money for a mere second I noticed. I'll probably collect.

    I'm losing today. My squad is +115, other team is -160. Streak is over odds on. The last team to bat has to choke.

    Wow sweet Mr lucky scores again it seems
    Been watching the lines fluctuate and it was nothing more than a coin flip at one point. Apparently something happened or didn't happen because my bets are -500 now which points heavily in my favor.

    Last time odds were offered, my team was -5000 or -4000. This is actually hilarious and I have no way of knowing if I've ever lost a match or who I bet on.

    Pushing my luck again on Cricket. Mumbai Indians, let's see if I survive this one.

  8. #68
    -115 both sides, this bad omen.

  9. #69
    This seems like the day I lose. Now Mumbai Indians +110, Punjab Kings -140, I'll have to be the luckiest of the luckiest. Now Punjab Kings -160, so my goosse is most likely cooked.

    I might Lose either way and I'm considering cashing out. I have been for some time but now it looks like too little to cash out.put. I really wish I had the balls to cash out and bet the Punjab kings.

  11. #71
    I did start cashing out and then unfortunately at the same time, odds on my bets improved which is bad timing. I placed KY bets back in a hurry and this cost me $400 in lost potential wins. Now I'm just watching hoping to break even essentially.

  12. #72
    If I Win I'm taking a break for 30 days

    Just to be sure I understand, is there some kind of an edge here, or are you just pushing buttons ?

    (edit: your last post may have answered the question)
    I dont' care that he gets even more wealthy but it sucks that we're just becoming a third world crap country by a bunch of poorly educated fools who are bitter that their standard of life didn't match their dads. So they blame the brown guys and vote this clown in when it is obvious to anyone with a thinking brain how bad he is for this country.

    I cashed out. No edge, pushing buttons.

    I'm a little slow sometimes. Well good luck nevertheless. That's a popular thing to do.

    I saved myself a lot of money. This was the first time I have lost betting cricket either way. Those Punjabs are killing it, -375 now. Too bad I didn't flip sides, wasn't worth the potential shame of flip flopping to failure. In Cricket one side plays offense first, then the other team bats. That's all I know, but the games tend to be lopsided in odds betting. That -400 will likely become -2000 or better.

    Cricket is mostly off my radar because only a few of my sportsbooks participate, but I do happily use their cell phone service.

    This is funny what I bet not knowing the reasons. I bet LA Dogers -1.5, Ohtani to hit a HR, Dustin May total strikeouts over 5.5, then in one parlay under 9.5, then the other over 8.5. Turns out I bet this and was thinking it would be great if these things happen and the final score is 9. The thing I didn't realize, this is what happened yesterday, Ohtani hit a HR, LA Dodgers starting pitcher had 7 strikeouts and the final score was Dodgers 7, Guardians 2. I think this is pretty humorous. I wasn't aware of consciously knowing the outcome yesterday when I made these bets, but I must have known to some degree.

    OHTANI HR, Derrick May 5 strikeouts, Dodgers winning 4-0. This should be a lock going into the bottom of the 4th inning. Just need 1 strikeout and the lead to stay by 2.

    I'm wagering a few hundred on straight bets and Parlays all including the Pirates beating the Diamondbacks today. RIP MONEY.
