Back with a nice 50k debt.

Been on here for years now.. been gambling for over 5 years and now im 24.. been working a #######5 part time job.. parents begging me to finwlly go to school.. never rewlly got thwt bad with gambling until recently, just logged on my bank website and saw a nice -25k credit card debt, and another 20k one.. followed by a nice 5000$ overdraft in my only chequings account.. lmao.. i cant do anything but laugh at this point, sports are rigged, i throw down a ten dollar bet fifty times and win, do the same thing with 1000, have the under in a sports game, and what do you know, its 7-0 and i have under 7.5, 2 outs last inning, i called the dude getting a home run from a mile away, hes liyerally playing for nothing down by 7 runs but of course he was going to get a home run, i just lost my last possible 1000 i could lose, and i just laughed.. i dont even care anymore, if i wasnt at home id be screwed completely. . my parents think i have like 80k saved up which is funny considering i make 300 a week, 80 a shift, yet lose 1000 dollars in a day, i wasted another 8 hours working today because i lost 1000, so with my shift i technically only lost 920 yay! Life is so $#%^, i literally cant wait to die at this point.. not sure why i even wrote this, guess i have nothing better to do since im out of money completely to gamble.

The only thing thats went my way recently are these drugs ive been doing.. they mess with your heart and ive noticed my heart skipping beats a lot at night time.. im just praying for a heart attack or to die in my sleep. Everytime my chest tightens im like oh god please just stop, its so calming when you're finally at peace with everything for once. Debt cant follow me into the afterlife, and even if it goes to my family its whatever, they arent the best of people.

Death beats trying to pay 50.000 back when youre making 300 a week.. dont even want to know how many years of my life that is just to have back what i should of had ten years ago, haha.

I'm so sorry that you're hurting so badly KS . It's a terrible place to be in . I've been there myself .

You owe yourself the chance to change things . Nothing is worth throwing your life away , especially not money . There is hope and there is healing . It may seem far away from you now , but it's out there . Try to forget the debt for the moment ( it's not going anywhere ) and just give yourself 24 hours of no gambling .

I know you're hurting but the drugs aren't helping you . They're making everything worse . You can make it through this . Debt can be fixed . Death can't . Give yourself a chance because you deserve it .

sorry to hear about your story . my 2k debt looks like nothing compare to yours . if i could help you pay off your debt i would and im not just saying that to make you feel better. but im in a hole myself and i dont see myself coming out too soon. all i can do is pray for you.remember that your life is the most precious thing you have . dont throw it away.be strong. i myself am struggling thinking about the money lost and that i want it back so much and that i will never get it back.i have no friends ,a job i hate even the relations with my family have deteriorated.like you im hoping for a miracle. stay strong. if i could i would help you in a heartbeat,im one of those people who would help everyone if he could,i hate to see people suffering.too bad there are so few out there willing to help.

There is hope...do not abandon yourself.I know your main concern it is the 50k debt and this accentuate your depression but you can get rid of your debt even with 300$ per week in about 8 years.I know it is a lot of time and you need a good saving plan in place and a lot of patience but you can do it.Take it-step by step.
And another thing, I know I sound like a broken record , I repeat myself often saying this but money you can remake as long as you are healthy.

thank you guys it means a lot

Are you trying to "make income" by betting on Baseball?

Yes, I agree sports are rigged - 2 NBA Playoff games yesterday ended with exactly 206 points and it's not the first time (it's also important for the betting lines) - is it coincidence? Cavs + LeFraud James are 5 point spread favorite, leading by 7 with 6 seconds to go and then Indiana scores a "meaningless" 3 pointer to screw those who had a bet on the spread ... coincidence?! No, I don't think so ... in a way what I "like" in all these things is that you know the result is somehow planned but regardless I would never ever rely on myself or anyone else to successfully "read the script", it's just impossible!

now,
Baseball is one of the sports that bookmakers allow you to bet with extremely large amounts, they can take large capacity on it.

It's one of the most extremely hard to guess sports that I've ever seen, I would never ever rely on Baseball or gambling in general to "make income" ... it's just not going to work... How can you read the future and see if one of the next 3 players on deck is going to score a single, double, home run, or just get a strikeout or what's not ... it's very hard to predict !

Gambling can never be a source of income, never - I've seen people who made 6-7 figures with gambling - they lost it all within 48 hours, some people in this forum posted how they lose $300,000 or more within 48 hours .... Gambling is not a source of income, it will never be...

Even most successful handicappers lose money from gambling, it's something that is so hard to stay away from, but your best bet is to SELF EXCLUDE yourself from whatever site you're using, and if they refuse to bar/ban/self exclude yourself then file a lawsuit (I'm not kidding) ...

In today's age most respectful websites and even betting agents must offer the option to bar yourself from gambling, so if you cannot rely on yourself to do it - then try self exclusion.

Of course self-exclusion is not the only resort, you have to take as many steps as possible to avoid throwing away your hard earned cash.

Were you able back in the days to "Stay within your limits" and bet only $10 a game a few years ago? When this all has changed?

Sports betting and gambling in general should be illegal activities just like drugs. casinos and bookies should not exist.but in this greedy soulless world we are living in it will never happen. i dont understand this greed when we are all eventually going to end up in the same place . whats the point of having all that money?what are people doing with billions of dollars. i read an article recently where it said that 1% of the world own 99 % of the wealth of the world.i trully hope there is a next life where there is justice because in this world we are living in its all about greed and egotheism. GAMBLING SHOULD BE BANNED.

I agree on gambling. I wish it was all illegal. If casinos, bingo, horse racing, lotteries and such were illegal, some argue that illicit gambling would still take place. Yes, it's true that some people would find their way to gamble in "underground" activities, but far fewer people would be involved in it. I think there is no even tangential value in the activity. I am not a fan of alcohol, and wouldn't mind if we went back to Prohibition, but at least with that there are some health benefits. Beer helps to prevent osteoporosis, and wine supposedly lowers cholesterol.

re: rich people. Yes, their addiction to ever more accumulation, and their tendency to support social policies that lead to greater gaps between rich and poor is the greatest ill of our world.

What's really interesting to me is how many gamblers come up to the conclusion that sports are rigged.

Conspiracy theory aside, I think there is some truth to this. Several scandals in football,boxing and other games have shown the shady underdealings of these sports. I think whenever there is a valuable enough position ( say for instance Barcelona Vs Las Palmas , with odds of 1.1 for Barca to win) If enough ppl take that bet, some institution that can affect the outcome of the match will take the opposite position and liquidate you.

This happens everyday in the stock market,options and futures trading. Insider trading is the trademark of wallstreet, i would be surprised if sports where untouched.

AlexHam: Some quotes that I remember about Sports betting and gambling:

1) "Somebody always knows the score"
2) "People who bet on Sports deserve exactly what they get"
3) "Whenever and wherever money is involved, you can bet some kind of hanky panky is going on somewhere."

There are too many instances of questionable outcomes and last minute scoring which makes winners into losers in all catergories of Sports betting to cite, but it would not surprise me if Carmine and Guido know something we don't......... on any Sports bet and the "spread".
