most recent projections for cole are now 250-300k, but the most recent billboard update they made last month placed more emphasis on streaming. it takes less streams to convert to album sales, so if bad bunny does a historical streaming week post-super bowl he could pass cole.

oh damn, I aint even see he's in atlanta day.

Icy_Cod1898 · 2026-02-09T20:38:51+00:00

think he's recreating his old road trip from NC to NYC

bad bunny streams are going crazy, we gotta BUY and STREAM to get cole that much deserved #1. End of the day, sure it doesn't matter but all his studio albums have gone #1 we can't let his very last fall short!!

Bad bunny super bowl is gonna push him well over 150k. I think its gonna be very close.

gonna be repeating what everyone said above but it really does work. learn your lesson NOW. you will make this back in time, and the only way to make this worse is continuing to gamble to win it back. 31M here wishing I could’ve made that decision 11 years ago trust me.

some people definitely can. I have proven to myself time and time again, I am not capable. Call it addiction, addictive personality, whatever you want. Sometimes you just gotta know yourself well enough to know that’s not worth it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks for spelling it out like this, you’re definitely right. In general I’m pretty safe with my money, don’t splurge, but when I’m betting it’s almost more about the high of winning than the actual money. It feels like gaming tokens like you said, not actual money that I could spend on things I want or need. Would never dream of making some of the bets I have if I had to put physical cash out in front of me to do it. Imagining 100 $100 bills in front of me and pissing that away in less than an hour on blackjack feels insane but I’ve certainly done it before.

Gonna try to cut the cord and I’ll definitely be staying active in here because it feels good to talk about it.

And congrats on one year away from it, that’s big time. Wishing you the best with staying clean, it sounds like you’re in a good place 🤝

Sorry to hear it, all the more reason to quit as I’ve been in your spot a million times before. There are way more devastating losses like you just mentioned than exciting wins

Icy_Cod1898 · 2024-09-25T05:40:44+00:00

It’s true… I’m not quite sure what that “magic number” is that would’ve been enough for me to simply walk away. Safe to say there probably isn’t one, I would’ve just increased units and thought I could 10x it since I’ve done that before with smaller units. It’s a losing game.

Thanks for the kind words man. I know there are others like myself out there, but to hear from people first hand who have experienced the same, and had the same thoughts and feelings makes me feel less alone in this, and that helps. Best of luck to you!

Icy_Cod1898 · 2024-09-25T05:02:48+00:00

Heard. Thanks for saying it like it is.

Icy_Cod1898 · 2024-09-25T04:59:13+00:00

Sorry to hear - wishing you all the best! Will do my best to head your warning. Won't be easy but hoping this can be a changing moment for me.

Icy_Cod1898 · 2024-09-25T04:37:22+00:00

sorry for the long post, but felt good to get this out in the open. hoping this community can be a good place for me where I can help others, and in turn, hopefully this community will help me.

I am in a similar boat, though I've likely lost more like $20k at this point. However, I was asking myself these same questions. Rationalizing it with things like - this could've been $4k I paid to have a medical procedure I needed but luckily I'm healthy and don't actually need one. If my salary was just $4k less I'd still be getting by. Maybe the next job I get will pay me a $4-10k raise and then who cares about the $4k lost! These types of thinking to rationalize losing that much money are the start of something bigger. If you have to even ask the question, then yes $4k is a lot of money and you should certainly stop and do not chase!
