Topic: how to get over it - page 8. (Read 1177 times)

There is only one answer to that, move on, learn from your experience and accept your losses.  That is the way to get over your countless failures.  I think $1m is too high to aim and get in a short span of time.  One thing I see is that you have a problem with waiting and possibly you fail to apply bankroll management.  It is ok to think where you could have gone wrong and avoid it when you decided start betting  and aim for $1m again. I would not say $1m is unrealistic considering the bankroll of @OP because in gambling due to its randomness everything is possible to happen.

Now, this is exactly where the problem lies, and the mistake you are making is not realizing that a million dollar is no small amount, and there is no way you expect to hit this amount of money all at once, simply because, your chances of ever wining this amount all at once is pretty slim,  if you really wanna make a million dollars from sports betting, you have to save up for it from your winnings, until you reach that amount, you don't have to go all in, with how good you are at winning in sports betting, you could reach your one million dollar target in less than a year if you can learn to control the urge of going all in, and save up to reach that target rather.

A quick and direct answer is....
Set boundaries!

What is your objective? raise 2x, 5x the amount initially contributed?
Then when you reach that, withdraw 50% of the winnings to your personal account and continue betting only with the other 50%.
reached the goal again? then make another withdrawal.
Ah... you lost the other 50%? then analyze carefully what is the amount you will deposit again. I would recommend starting over with the initial contribution, no more than that.
Keep losing? then stop and come back another day or the following week... resist the temptation to return all the money to the casino. Spend that money on something else, do something different, enjoy your winnings, and you'll start to realize that there are other forms of pleasure besides gaming.

I hope he continues to have all that luck in the game and that he manages to control himself better.

sometimes failure is one of the best teachers, it becomes a very valuable experience for us. However, in gambling, not everyone can realize and learn from various bitter experiences of losing money while gambling. Moreover, gambling is a very risky activity, but on the other hand, link games can also attract someone to become completely addicted to it. so that even if they keep losing and losing they will continue to play gambling. but unfortunately, not all gamers are aware and able to learn from this defeat to redesign their strategies and ways of gambling and learn to manage emotions when gambling. maybe if they can then they will be like OP who can go through a crisis of losing money because of gambling and finally being able to continue to be successful by getting more profit than the loss.

Hi, I've been a previous commenter in one of your posts (turning 4k into 90k), and I must say you wouldn't get there without having something that most sports bettors don't, cause those are large and monumental wins considering the capital you started with. I've never won that much in my gambling journey, so I couldn't really give you any advice that would strike dead center, but from my experiences of winning considerable amounts of money from small capitals, I figured out the right way to save your wins and diminish losses as much as possible.

That is through effective money management. Let's take your last bet for example.

You won 90k, but now instead of going all in, you take 10% of that prize money, and use that for betting, the rest will be saved into a bank, or over something where you would deposit your money in. Whatever happens to your bet now, you still have a lot of money to play with, maybe even money that you could save and keep to compound and reach that 1,000,000 bucks dream of yours.

You have to get rid of your all-in mentality, it works well when you have a small bankroll but for bigger bankrolls the risks outweigh the benefits. If you're in for the thrill of it and not for the profit then go, do as you like, who am I to tell you how to play your game right? But if you're here asking how to save as much of your winnings as possible, then take my advice, and be smarter with your winnings.

You haven't failed yet OP, failing is when you succumb to the losses and give up on your aspiration, I usually don't advocate for gambling with the prospect of finding profits but since you've done this countless times, you clearly are up to something, so I support you and will watch your development with great interest.

I was reading your thread with some much keen interest with hopes on how to get cheats and short cuts to how to msme twice out deposit  amount but it turned out that op was actually the one seeking help  on how to get over his losses.

I'm sorry you  lost this huge amount of money and you're just acting as if nothing is wrong which shows that you're already a strong  man and I will  advice that you hang out more with friends if you want to to get out of this mess and also why will.a normal human being gamble away such amount of money and expect me to feel any actual pity for you.

Losing are inevitable and I think your only problem here is your greed, why do you need to go all in where you can bet at a small amount slowly but surely. If you’ll start from the bottom again, I hope you already learned your lesson, you can become Millionaire but don’t rush it because there’s a perfect timing for that. Come back stronger, maybe you can still have that luck.

When you were able to make $1000 to $100k, surely it is possible for you to make $100k to $1000k. You need to follow the same process as that you did to make $1000 to $100k. The mistake from your side is going all in one. At some point you're looking for a much faster way to reach your dream target. This is where the loss is happening and you gonna start from the scratch once again. You're really a great one, because not everyone is able to make it happen out of sports betting.

Considering his luck based on this post, there’s a big chance for him to reach a $1million mark, just continue being responsible in gambling and maybe, you can have it this year. Earning higher are more possible once you already gave good capital and in the case of OP, he can have more bets now because of the money he earned from gambling. Hopefully to see your proof once you already reached your goal, just keep working on that and don’t give up.

Yep, what killed the ops is his inability to pull out when he already turned his deposits into x10  amount, maybe he got carried away with the excitement that he forget the risk associated with gambling and how tricky it can be especially when you win the house and at a high rate, ops made a very big mistake and hope he will learn from the various suggestions and advise that we have offered him here in the thread because his actionable patter of play detected a lot of symptom of addiction and emotional dependence.

By now, if you had been using wisdom to your betting victories, you would have reached the $1 million target price you had been pursuing for years. Calculate how much money you could have gained if you learned to relax and quit being greedy by putting all of your winnings in at once (which you do lose).

It will be advisable for you to have a maximum quantity of gains you would go in for on any given day in your gambling winnings, which always end in losses. Once you've done that, your day's worth of betting is over.

I thought I was the only one who saw the fact that winnings were cited but the topic is concerned with failure and losses. But on my end, if I happened to win on multipliers or to simply win, and losses are still bigger, I'd still be happy I guess, atleast 'coz I'd rather choose making my losses smaller than to just continue losing on my entire gambling activity. It actually depends on one's tolerance; some would give up already once their losses blew up their wallets. For sure many gamblers who won the jackpot suffered from huge loss unless they are just lucky enough as a gambler. And if I spent millions to get a win, and the reward is bigger, it'll be props to my efforts and would for sure be happy 'coz at last, I experienced winning bigtime.

Failures are countless thus, you'll always have to deal with them.

Based on your wins, you have got a half million wins and a hundred thousand in total for combined winnings. You're already there to your dream for years but it's just so happens that you're not a keeper of your wins. As you deal with failure, you failed yourself in keeping your money as you chase that million dream. You're so close yet too far because of being careless.

It's not even that he wants to get a million dollars. The deal is he wants to get a million starting with nothing and keep going when he's up 500% and more just to get to something crazy like 10000% profit in a session.

You're not going to get it dude, and if you do, it's going to be paid with a lot more lost money. Most gamblers are happy with small profit and you're aiming so high that although it's possible to get so much from so very little, you will keep losing time and time again before you win it back. I wouldn't be surprised if you lost 2 m. USD to later win 1 million and walk away telling yourself that you've made a million and your work is done

You talk about your wins, but what about your losses? How many failed attempts were there before you were able to make such big multipliers? If the amounts spent on attempts are already greater than the amount of winnings, are these winnings so good? And will you be happy when you win the coveted million dollars if you spend a million (or more) on these attempts?

If you've been able to win up those amounts and save up a portion of it then you might not be too far off with that $1M mark on which you are wishing for on which you are really that saving it up.
But if you are really that meaning about winning a million on a single bet via those all in behavior then it could be possible but would be depending on the odds and the size of bet that you had put in.
This is why its not really that shocking that you had always that all in bets. Are these bets came mostly on parlays? Turning out those amounts into 6 digits from 4 digits does really
involved lots of lines. If you are ending up on losing it all in the end then it is really that still useless but still a good run eh?

He is able to increase his bankroll from $1k to $100k and eventually goes all in and lost it.  Same goes with other statistics given by @OP.  He is always able to increase his bankroll to some extent until he decided to go all in and lose them all.


 I do not think @OP is cheating the casino, I believe @OP is a superb sports bettor but always got unlucky due to possibly greed or a lack of patience since his target is $1m and he wanted to hastily achieve it.

@OP you can always restart fresh and hopefully, you can learn from your previous mistakes.  Learn some bankroll management and let go of the past losses, it will only frustrates you and may affect you betting rationality.


Well, he almost had it when he made $11k  to $550k, if only he won the bet that made him lose, he could have achieve that $1m.  I believe with the skill of @OP in sportsbetting, he can definitely hit taht $1m, what he is lacking is patience since he always ends up rushing things by going all-in.

To tell you honestly, only you can help yourself on how to get over it.

You have been there already, experiencing big, turning an average amount of bankroll into a decent one, etc. Those experiences should teach you already and realize what's the best thing to do in your future betting.

As a bettor that has the guts to risk a big amount, I'm sure you already know what's the best thing to do especially when winning but your greeds overcome you and affect your ability to think right. You are always going all in and disregarding the risks. In other words, you are pushing for something that depends on your luck.

You are chasing a big dream thru gambling? That might not be a good idea.

Your target is too unrealistic. 1 million dollars is a lot of money, it's impossible to make that much from betting. I think you just want to make money without putting a lot of effort into it. But that's impossible. You can make a lot of money, but you have to study and work hard to do it.

One thing is to stop chasing that $1,000,000 dream.  If you accept that gambling isn't the best place to get that $1m, you will find yourself looking for an alternative source of income that can give you a continuous profit .  You should also accept the recent loses that amounted to $90k.  I know it is a big money but it already happen and all you can do is move on.  Try to do bankroll management if you happen to accumulate huge winnings and I hope this recent experience will give you a lesson that it is not good to be greedy.
