t0od0pe4u 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2008 I have an addiction that started out bad, but has eased up the past few months..Sports gamblingSo many sportbook websites, sports advice, statistics out there, I saw no other way than to place $100-$500 a game. It was such an adrenaline rush to watch a televised game, root for one team that I have no idea, and hope that they would cover the point spread or flat out win the game.After blowing my whole bankroll, I've decided to hang them up. Its a terrible addiction that your ROI is not very easy and streaks can be good, but doubling will ultimately remove your bankroll.I still gamble for a small piece of the action though. My sportsbook allows $1 bets! I even know of a site that gives you 10 cents so you can gamble it for fun!I enjoy sports alot and can't get enough of it, but I think my real money can stay away from that scene from now on.

Addictions like this are just as bad as the other drugs,booze,sex and all the rest. You may try and stay away from it but it will work its way back into your life at sometime. I know been there with booze myself. Your best bet partdon the pun would be to look into GA Gambers anonomous good luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CyberWizard 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2009 This is one of the worst addictions First you said to yourself: "Okay, if a don't win there are other opportunities." With these opportunities you are getting addicted.And every time when you walk near to the casino you sad to yourself: "This is last time!".And so on... and on... and on... Until you spend all the money you have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
