u wont be able to get out of the downwards spiral until you hit rock bottom  2k is nothing  carry on

You should only gamble with money you can afford to lose. In the long run very few people have accounts in profit. How many rich gamblers have you met in your life? Betting on Pakistan cricket matches is stoopid, they are as corrupt as it gets.
If it isn't working for you find another hobby something which will be more productive.

Do you guys reckon I should leave Zambia and come to the UK and look for a job there? Maybe it wont be this bad?

what jobs

'Do you guys reckon I should leave Zambia and come to the UK and look for a job there? Maybe it wont be this bad?'

You should leave your bedroom and get down stairs as your mum has your tea on the table...............

well I told her I wont be eating dinner tonight and dont want to either so that is out of the question.

SrgtDouche going to try and make you feel better, bought a rentalproperty in 2006 for £269,000 , had valued last week , and it only valued up at £200,000k ,does that make you feel any better,

I reckon you should get a life. Change your routine, exercise regularly, try have sex with a real person. All these things should help.
Asking people on a gambling forum for advice on whether you should move countries is beyond stupid.

hoops agree about excercise and routine change. Sex is there anyways when you go clubbing and meet women. I ask on the forum for valuable opinions cuz I know these guys and some of em speak from their hearts and speak the truth.

lol @ bob... they are quite good... lot more places have opened up since 2005 and the country is also developing quite well. Better infrastructure and real good places to hang around

SrgtDouche, you need to realise that a month from now you are going to be over your big loss. stop beating yourself up and try and learn something from it

tony I won 411 euros on over 3.5 goals in that match. If I watch that then I will miss my funds further more.

paul I agree with you 100% I need to learn lessons from this. But honestly it is soo tough to take some decisions in sports betting. Right now I'm consciously reading everything you lads are saying and taking into account and hopefully it will help me to change and learn. Change is a must.

Go steady, I know exactly how you feel, I lost 1400 pounds as quick as you can say horse racing is straight. I now have had a bit of luck and got my losses back, I hope you do the same

What I have started doing is even if I see what I consider to be a good bet I leave it, I now bet selectively and only on the odd occasion, I used to bet every day

I hope you get things sorted out

Something else you must give much thought to is - Is it worth doing anything in life that may well drive you to despair if things don't pan out in your favour

I'm connecting with all you said inono. Talking about the betting part there are many times I try not to go with wht I think is a good value bet... but another part of me is like "you have money if your sure go for it and suppose in hindsight it comes in then you will give yourself too much **** about it" in I go after... they come in sometimes but sometimes it's a disaster. I agree it's not everything in life... it is sucking my blood out... probably cuz I'm very emotional and sensitive by nature. If I wanna be in this I gotta be rational and strong mentally. I noticed during the times I win that my mind is never says enough is enough... it tempts me always to keep going. A human being has unlimited wants and sadly when it comes to money  the temptationjust goes over board.

the thought of waiting for another 24 hours or more to have a bet is just beyond torture... rather some one have me shot




Douche - if this bit is actually true then forget finding a new winning strategy, you need to get some help.

However on the subject of your betting, you seem to bet mainly on football yes? But earlier you staked over a third of your bank on a one day cricket match. Do you know much about cricket or did you just bet for the sake of it?

I know a lot about cricket... I backed 275 runs or more for pak who had a strong batting line up... see the fall of wickets... couldnt get a chance to trade..I didn't reduce exposure during the 100 wicket stand cuz I normally do it towards end of an innings...

"couldnt get a chance to trade..I didn't reduce exposure during the 100 wicket stand cuz I normally do it towards end of an innings"



Couldn't get a chance to trade, or didn't want to because greed got the better of you?
I can't blame you because we've all done it, but you could've easily traded out for a nice profit when they were 130-0 after 27 overs.

biscuit that is very true but I rarely check the prices in play while betting un less I get a chance to green in this case I was playin fifa 12 and started watching the game at 163-2 still had a chance to trade but wanted to reduce maximum winnings on 275 runs or more back and as less as possible on the lay. I didn't think it would trade soo low soo early on while in a 50 over match you see. That pretty much led to further downfall from there.
