    Default should debts be paid off before you

    continue to gamble? whats your word on this? Should all of your gambling debts be paid off before you continue to gamble? Is it worth the risk of digging a deeper hole? It's hard when your addicted to this shit. As of now I am going to lay off untill I can pay back at least 50 percent of my debts which all really lead back to gambling.

    the sad part of this is that most of my gambling debts are from ONLINE poker and casino rooms. I don't consider my self a bad poker player it's just weird when the other player keeps betting with shit and gets an inside straight on the river.

    I would say that gambling debts should be paid off before continuing...scared money doesn't win and only digs you deeper in the hole and leads to plenty of chasing.

    Don't play online poker. How can you feel confident knowing a computer is dropping "random" cards, fukk that.

    i try to avoid online poker and casinos but when there are no games on and your itching to gamble it gets hard, i was real pissed when i won a dime on a spurs game a few weeks back and lost it all playing in the poker room in about 10 minutes

    You should not gamble with any debt but what happens is it gets out of control. You will never win when your in debt because you press for the money. I have been chasing the first 5k red figure I ever had and I guess now must be like -$250,000 or so in 20 years of gambling. The debt is not that high now (right now I owe $37,000 to banks) but it all started chasing the red 5k figure. I never gamble without debt but I would have to stop for like 2 years to get back right but I cannot stop gambling that long.

    Gambling isn't entertainment when you are playing with money you don't have. It's like making a purchase with a lot of CC debt...you can't enjoy it like you could if you weren't paying interest on it.

    Pay your debts. Take the pressure off and have fun. The wins seem to come easier this way too.

    Play with whatever budget you have for, gambling only purposes for the month. If your not winning today what da hell makes you think you might win the next five days by bringing in more money.

    play 6-7 team parlays, throw a dime on them for huge payout

    If your in debt, just get another loan or CC and go all-in on a heavy public favorite...
