Getting over it is not that easy to achieve but we need to erase our minds over it and move on with life, we have to stop moving or thinking in the same direction while gambling, some will make looses and yet you will hardly noticed this with them because they have learnt how to move on with life while some will for some time remained ever noticed due to the intensity of how they were being affected by gambling losses and they cannot just let go or move on because of the cost it has left on them, yet we still needs to keep moving no matter the outcome so we can always get over it.
Gambling is not the issue; we have people with steadfast minds who can engage in gambling activities while remaining calm and acting as if nothing bothers them; these people have profited a lot from gambling and are either second-guessing their previous losses or looking ahead to generate enormous profits. Getting over our gambling losses is feasible for some people but impossible for others; I've been in that situation before and I remember it like it was yesterday. We all make mistakes, and our target is to either repair them right away or keep repeating them until they either disappear or cause more harm.

Winning is worse than losing in the casino, a bigger loss. Because the winner will come back to taste the huge excitement that goes through the head. Will play with bigger pot and lose all his movables including previous winnings. Once he gets his head into it, he loses over and over again to withdraw those lost coins, and it usually becomes an addiction. Win to win bigger prizes. Because of this, the casino owner is the winner, but ordinary gamblers are at risk.Getting over it is not that easy to achieve but we need to erase our minds over it and move on with life, we have to stop moving or thinking in the same direction while gambling, some will make looses and yet you will hardly noticed this with them because they have learnt how to move on with life while some will for some time remained ever noticed due to the intensity of how they were being affected by gambling losses and they cannot just let go or move on because of the cost it has left on them, yet we still needs to keep moving no matter the outcome so we can always get over it.
From the looks of it, the OP won't be stopping anytime soon as his target is not yet being reached.
And it seems that he has no problem losing good amount of money, hence, I don't think he will move on from sports betting yet.
One will get over with this seemingly addiction towards gambling is if he encountered a life-changing trouble in his life.
Like for example, if his loved ones found out what he's been doing, and decided to leave him. If he truly care for them, he will change his lifestyle.
Or he got into deep debt where he owed from a mafia gang, where his life is in danger if he doesn't pay his dues.
But if nothing alarming, I believe, would be hard for him to get over this kind of lifestyle as he will always go back to square one.

It is always tough for gamblers to control the urge of gambling when they manage to win a huge amount of money from the casino out of a sudden, as the desire to win more money will always be one of the key reason gamblers losing back their huge amount of winnings back to the casino. I guess that is also one of the reason why casino owners are not panicking about a player winning huge amount of money from them as the same player will just kept on returning to gamble.
It's normal because when we can win a large amount of money, we are triggered to repeat it and try to get another big win. But we forget that big wins often don't come twice but only once, so when we try to continue, we end up getting a lot of losses, even exceeding the amount of big money we got before. Besides that, the greed to win again will come and make us keep playing because we feel we can win it again. The casino owner is of course happy if the winning gambler continues playing because that's when the casino can turn things around and take the winning money from the gambler.A huge win may have that compromise you explain here but usually the people who win really big,I mean the jackpot of a slot or the max payout of a slot who has well over x35000 multiplier as the best payout can be a life changing event for many countries nowadays and as such winning big may be better much better compared to losing a big amount.
The risk of addiction is still there but it is in much lower percentage when you have made a huge win compared to the percentage found when you have lost really big,in this scenario the addiction is almost a sure thing as you would want to come back and get the money that you lost.

For sure, the OP learned a lesson from losing all of his profit or winnings, but the problem is that if he continues to bet big, he will commit the same mistake again. It is really greediness that even though you won big, you still want more. It is like you want to make the casino bankrupt, which is very impossible as for sure you'll lose all your money doing it.
Yes the main reason he feel that way because of his greediness which makes him lose everything. Greediness and addiction are link to each other and can affect our lives. Mostly the reason why someone cannot get over with his loses it is because he want to get back all of it or simply we can say it is because of his greediness , all people has a greed inside but we need to control it.

With nothing to show for it…I’m a sharp sports bettor, but I always end up going all in. I can never be satisfied until it’s too late. I always need to go all in.

How do I get over the countless failures? I’ve been chasing the $1,000,000 dream for years.
How come that you have nothing to show for it? Are you saying you lost all this money back to gambling? That's the spirit of a true gambler, they always end up returning what they owe to gambling, this is why we have to be very careful with gambling because even if you win today you are still coming back tomorrow, and it's always a pay back time.I’ve turned $6,000 into $80,000

Many don't know that they are on the verge of getting addicted to gambling, they win a large amount of money, instead of them to look at themselves as a lucky man, they look at themselves as a gambling genius, that's where they destroy everything they've worked so hard for.
In your one case OP, greed of gambling have consumed you whole, if I can turn 1000$ into 100,000$ I will never return and if I have to return, I will start using small amount to gamble, when you accept that gambling and winning is complete luck, you will know how to gamble when you accept that fact.
It's a personal preference.
Others see it as luck. Others see it as greed. but for me, this is a complete skill.
Bro if this is true, then making money in a consistent basis is a skill. Where else can you have that money? Maybe OP also losses money, of course but that will compensate for his losses because the risk-reward of hit bets is like X100 and more.
OP don't get discourage by people telling you you can't. Because that is a skill if you can maintain the consistency of you gambling. Just know that having an aim of $1,000,000 is good, but don't make that a master of your life. And do your best not to get caught up of gambling addiction and overrisking.

Turning 1,000 USD into 100,000 USD is quite impossible. If you manage your profits till you gained 100K grands then how come you lose after all? I think it is because of greediness. If I were you, I will secure 90% of my gains and turn into a real investment. Because risking your money in gambling is just burning dollars on your hand.I’ve turned $6,000 into $80,000

But he almost did it, by betting $4,000 to $90,000 but the mistake he made is that he didn't measure his risk, he blindly went all in and it back fire at the end. It is not that hard to split games to reduce the risk, in 4 independent bets, there is no way to lose everything if he is sure of how he turn the previous games and with that, more money can be made with those bets and continuesly but he put all his eggs in one basket and everything is all lost, indeed greed will make you do what even a newbie is not suppose to do, if he has actually won as he claim, that mistake would have been easily avoidable.
He should go again, gambling is about luck, a day will come when the $1M will be won but strategy must be revised and change to reach that level and hopefully, he hasn't sold his house by that time
, you know gambling can make people do crazy things especially when there is addiction.
Well, as a fellow gambler, I can say I've been in your situation many times(not the amount). There's a lot of advice I can say but even I can not follow it. Since we are both gamblers, I assume we have the same nature, then the advice is kinda useless. That's why I keep on chasing until I reach the amount I wanted and then quit. Other gamblers won't stop until they are not satisfied. Some even have endless satisfaction, it continues to grow/expand.

From what you have written, I can see that all you are trying to pass is the ability of you betting and making consistent profits but greed has eaten you up to the extend that you always end up losing the profits. You need to have self control or else you will keep losing. There are people that if they eventually make the kind of money you had in gambling, they will be rich by now. You need to work on yourself so that you will not be this greedy to the extend of losing this amount of funds that many gambler's had been longing to make and leave gambling entirely.
There are so many cases that happen when someone gets a win, so it's certain that the next day they will continue to do it with high confidence in a win which in the end it turns out they actually accept defeat. All gamblers will feel in this position, I think this is natural because we know that everyone needs money and most of them always want more than what they already have. In this position, the factor of self-control is indeed very important, but few of them can do it because the lure of victory in a gamble is so great that it makes them place their hopes too high. To be honest, I always tell my friends who are curious to try gambling, I always forbid it because I feel that it is too difficult to get out of gambling.

Poor money management was responsible for your loses why not keep or save 50% of yours winning and started all over again instead of compounding your win which is a very risk and back to square one, compounding work well in trading not in gambling, I understand your dream was to hit $1,000,000 which can be swiftly achieved by compounding, the best bet is when you win and hit a certain target save though it's going to take a longer period of time to reach or hit your overall target, however that money management is less risky than compounding, gambling is very risky and being addicted is also very dangerous.

Up until now, Op is still doing the same thing, as seen in his other posts, even with a higher goal, somehow whether he will be able to do it but that’s not a wise way at all, because it’s impossible we’ll always be accurate in predicting a game even with odds below 1.10 chances of losing remain there.
