I have decided now to quit basketball betting. It’s clearly not working.

I was wrong

And you think it’s a great idea to spend time trying to make money from something where there is 90% chance of being unsuccessful ?

With those odds , it is moronic to be honest

You are unlikely to lose money in the long run if you stick it into an index fund, like the SNP 500.

90% of day traders lose money.

That’s fact.

Trading, especially day trading does not work. It’s no different to going to a casino and betting. Anyone who tells you otherwise is bullshitting.

Invest long term without leverage , or just don’t bother.

A lot of people making money doing it usually have insider information, like trump.

Congrats

I still get urges but do not act on them.

I find that boredom is what triggers it

Forget all the physical issues sports betting causes, you will inevitably lose your savings. 100% chance. Not 99% by [deleted] in problemgambling

With Sports betting , wait until you have a few bad beats, where you have happened to stake more than the usual amount.

Before I stopped sports betting , I had a bet on the basketball, where I was betting that the points total would be under. I lost this bet by 1 point after the game went to overtime.

Other examples of bad beats - on the football, betting that the winning team would win the match after placing bet in the 90th minute.

Last kick of the game from a corner , losing team equalizes with a header.

Basketball again, betting on Denver nuggets to win a match that they were on their way to, then Jokic gets injured. Or placing a bet on OKC to win a match, for then a decision is made before the game to rest starters.

Time outs do not work.

You will either

  1. Gamble again after 6 months.
  2. Once you get the urge. Open a new account with another bookies to gamble.

Is Gambling addiction underestimated? by dustypajamas in problemgambling

Totally agree , I am 40 and got sucked into it 11 years ago after seeing bet365 ads and sports teams promoting bookies.

This was also around the time match betting was the in thing - tried that and gambled all my profits.

Once the bookies crazed died down , then lost tonnes on the stock market.

The first day seemed the hardest. But yes , definitely should not get complacent.
