    Default i think i will be done gambling for a long time

    I have been betting for a long time started when I was 22 and now i am 31, This is getting old... getting backdoored then when you win, you can get stiffed. I was by bet4aces for 3800.00 this summer, now with all the ways to send money being so hard, i am just sick of it. I really never won anything, mostly lost, then I had a good couple of streaks, Now having so many bills really don't have the money to play. A few hundred really does not go far.. I figure if I lose the golden state over 205- tonight, put what was left in my account. I will take 4-5 months off. save up some money and maybe start back again. I really can't afford to gamble anymore.. I never used to think this way, but I guess after really thinking I never won any money for the time I invested, in other words just burned out...

    Nothing wrong with stepping away from it for awhile. You may come to find you don't even miss it. Good luck.

    take a break and don't even look at lines

    make sure your finances are in order before you think of coming back

    most of all if it stresses you or is not fun then just find something else to enjoy

    life is short

    You're on track to win and it's a close gm another good sign.

    Even if you do win DO NOT bet again because you are looking for a way to lose. Get your $ out and take a break.

    Personally, I'm done til may.

    i came to the conclusion that i am just going to bet 50 dollars a game,,, this way I will be able to save money and then I will not get as stressed losing games,,, Then in the next 4-5 months. i will have some money saved and bills paid.. I will tell you one thing, I am not sending anymore $$ offshore for a long time,,,

    you will quickly find that the amount you bet on a game is of little consequence in terms of your intensity of gambling. Doesn't matter if it is $5 or $50,000....it's all the same for someone who has been gambling as long as you have. Medically speaking, this is known as your inner-degenerency. It is activated as long as you have some action on a game....

    Agree with BB... plus... if you go on a really hot streak at $50 a game, you'll feel inclined to boost it, and be mad that you didn't have more per game.

    If you are burned out, take a breather!

    Not me, I don't get a major thrill unless I have at least $30 on a game..

    Small bets don't get my blood flowing which sucks..

    JM,

    Good luck with what the future holds for you. Gambling is expensive and also boring at times.

    You're a young person and a full life ahead of you.
