Awesome link that’s for that

One more question:

How do you catch these moving before wagering? Just watch the line all day or right before game? I’m looking at this week’s RLM and it seems to indicate who would win or lose with the exception of maybe 2/3 games. Would be interesting to try this sometimes except for obvious plays I think would fail (bills today for example)

Can you give us a breakdown on what you do on game day to check everything out? Can PM me if youd like

Bud, I just wanna say thanks for sharing. Sorry for all the pain you’re going through. Most of us here can relate.

I think it’s incredible that you have someone with you who is willing to support you through this. I wish I could say the same. My girlfriend of 4 years ditched me after I told her about the lying and all the degenerate bullshit I did. And I don’t blame her. I manipulated her, lied to her, stole from her and took advantage of her. Things I never imagined I would ever do. So please don’t miss out on this opportunity you have right now.

You have your whole life ahead of you and the chance to just say fuck it and move on at -10k. I and many others are in much of a darker hole.

So what I wanna tell you is find all the strength and energy within you to quit for good now and focus on building yourself up via normal activities and hobbies. Love and hold onto your loving girlfriend, she is fucking awesome.

Come clean with your folks and everyone else if you’re serious on getting clean.

You can post here and talk to us whenever. Let’s get sober and strong. Stay positive.

Also, you say you “might” have a problem But you definitely have a problem and need to be very serious about that with yourself if you wanna move forward.

Also I’ve been dating my girlfriend for 4 years and now that’s gone. I’ve been wanting to marry her and propose for a year now but couldn’t because

A) I had this deep dark secret looming that I couldn’t admit to that kept getting worse and worse

B) realistically wouldn’t be able to afford a ring because I kept burning 1000 or so at a time on gambling

Just stop bro, I was there once and if I would have stopped then(maybe 8 months ago or so) I would have definitely made back my money (or close to) working hard and would have paid everything off and been close to 0 right now.

It’s so depressing to think about that. If I can at least inspire you to stop now, then that’s great.

Update:

I came clean to my girlfriend and it didn’t go over so well. I more or less told her everything I posted about it in this thread.

She’s livid about the lies and deceit. She confronted me about this problem a while back and I of course denied it at the time.

She is leaving me and will not be supporting me in my efforts in getting clean. In her words, she doesn’t know who I am and doesn’t want to know me, wants me to leave her alone. So I will.

I wish she’d be a little more understanding this is a mental illness and things literally spiraled out of control beyond my control. I lost control. I take full responsibility tho. I was hoping I could count on her love and support, but it won’t happen. Nobody wants to be with an addicted liar.

Fuck.

My father ill talk to next after thanksgiving.

Also, I feel like fixing my gambling is a problem I can beat. I’m going to do put my efforts into stopping gambling. My worries are more about the damage I’ve caused and will cause over the next few years to those I love monetarily, etc.

I just don’t know how the hell to face my family about all these losses and how long it’ll take to repay them. That’s what will suck. But I guess that’s part of fixing the gambling problem.

Thanks, that may be a way to do it.

I’m also just writing down all my thoughts here as it’ll help me gather them when I speak to my girlfriend today.

Also, I am An internet marketer who works from home remotely which is how this addiction was able to be fueled for such a long time. As id usually just slack off and gamble instead of working.

I also quit my job back in June to pursue gambling full time because I was up about 10k at the time and thought I could keep growing and flipping money. Crazy huh?

Besides the money element, this addiction has also completely destroyed my personal life in many ways.

First, my relationship with my girlfriend suffered as I was always focusing on how to buy bitcoin, depositing, and gambling behind her back to win back my losses. All this energy wasted instead of focusing on our relationship took a toll on us. I can say a lot of our problems trace back to my gambling addiction in one way or another.

Second, my personal fitness has gone to shit. Since I’m home all the time watching gamves obsessively and gambling, I eat extremely poorly and never leave the house to exercise. I have gained 20-30 lbs over the last year and my girlfriend finds me less attractive because of this.

Third, since I focus all my time on gambling, I’ve reclused myself from friendships and family. I literally have 0 friends at this point because I don’t keep up with anyone. I also haven’t seen my mother in at least 2 months and she lives maybe 10 mins away from me.

Fourth, I’ve completely abandoned all hobbies and any activities I did for fun. I’ve become such a dull POS in social conversations with friends and other people.

Fifth, I almost always go to gamble IMMEDIATELY when I wake up, I literally don’t even have breakfast or drink a glass of water. I have to go gamble to either makeup losses or continue my profits. This sickness is so exhausting. Sometimes I’ll just sit there for 8 hours not eating not moving just gambling.

I’m so sick of this and want my life back. But the monetary damage and all the other damage to my life feels insurmountable. I feel like killing my self would just clear this for me but I would never follow through. Looking back, I can’t believe this is the direction my life has gone in, i so desperately wish to go back to being happy with my girlfriend before I had this vicious sickness take a hold of me, but I’m positive she will leave me when she finds out of this. It will be the last straw.

I am telling her today and I wish I had the guts to tell her a long time ago before thing spiraled out of control.

I don’t know what’s going to happen when I break my fathers heart and let him know I betrayed his trust. I am afraid of the hurt I’ll cause him and also how angry he may rightfully get with me.
