This thread basically shows it takes too much effort and experience to find accurate bets and in this way you will keep losing some bets numerous times. It will cost you ten thousands of dollars basically. I think it's about destiny or chance. Sometimes the matches we see as guarenteed can have extraordinary results because goalkeeper getting injured etc or referee messing match up with terrible decisions like penalties whistled so on.

Secondly, the amount of private messages from people I have received is crazy. There is nothing guaranteed in gambling and you can quickly put yourself in a financial predicament by trying to win large amounts of money fast. The most important things to remember when betting is to gamble responsibly and only bet what you can afford to lose. This amount is different for other people and if you are not betting within your means you are heading for disaster.

This is something that many of us repeat in this section but many people do not get it into their heads. As I commented in another thread, it can be seen that there are many people who see in this the possibility of an easy way out of their dissatisfaction with life, but in general it is neither an easy way out, and in many cases when they win a big jackpot they end up betting it all again and more.

It is to your credit that you have been transparent and honest in showing your losses as well. Hats off to you.

You did right posting your losses, there were many threads about gamblers winning and these temp people that its possible to win big amounts of money, by showing them your results you just show the true picture of how gamblers have their highs and lows in their bets, those who earlier post their winnings are just bragging and wants people to show admiration to their skill, but you are different you show them that things are not easy and they should play with money they can afford and not to be tempted to be like those who pretend to be good in winning.
The OP is doing the right thing, those that want to become professional gamblers or professional traders most of the time have a mistaken view of how this could work out.

They seem to believe that if they are to become professionals in one of those two professions then they will find a way to never lose, and this is false, a professional gambler will lose money as well and if they are unlucky they could not earn any money for months, and very few gamblers can survive that long without any form of income.

You have a really great experience in sports betting. And I assume that you also have a great amount of knowledge on the sports that you are betting on. We can learn a lot from your experiences. But one thing that I appreciate you speaking is that even in sports betting luck plays an important role. I know that there are gamblers who may not agree because luck is usually associated with casino games, but I am with you. Even in sports games where the main factor is the skills of the players, luck is still powerful enough to make results, even unexpectedly.

Those numbers are pretty big and am very amazed and i am not shocked lot of newbies or gamblers sending messages on you as you win big because you bet big. I am just glad that your thread are true as you know a lot of people here make a thread just for the sake of merit. You bets are really huge and i cant imagine betting that huge but again you are spending money you can afford to lose then its okay for you

These examples should show you how hard it is to win big amounts and I hope everyone who reads it understands nothing is guaranteed when it comes to gambling. Luck plays a HUGE part in gambling and the weather, the referees or an unforeseen scenario can be the difference between winning or losing.

Indeed. This is the reality in gambling, winning is not guaranteed. Behind those huge wins flexing by gamblers, there's a story of losses and we don't know how much they already spent before winning such amount. It's a good thing you showed your losses as well so that these people messaging you will realize that it's not only about winning because losses are also part of it.

Please only gamble what you can afford to lose and if you don't have discipline or control you shouldn't be gambling. I can't stress that enough.
That's how it should be. Don't gamble if you can't control yourself because it can lead to serious problem.

I am very glad that you have shown forum users not only your successful bets, but also the bets that led you to losses. In my opinion this is a good example to show that in betting as well as in gambling the outcome very often depends on luck and not only on the professionalism of the bettor.

Good luck to you and I hope you'll share more successes with us in the future!


Your message is now balanced mate. You have indeed done the right thing. When people saw the stories about your mega wins they assume that gambling is a win-win situation or game but showing us your losses has shown that one can also lose. When I read your first post I thought you were a scammer that wanted to attract people but from what you have shown now I should confess that I am wrong. I am also pleased to know that you refused to collect money from members to give them game tips, this is a very selfless act. I must say that you should keep up the good work and thank you for your advice on responsible gambling.

WoW, that's a really huge loss there, bro. Some will not expose this information because they want people to see them as gambling pros who always make winning predictions and tips. "In gambling, nothing is guaranteed." is a nice gambling tip because every sure bet could turn into a loss, but some people forget that tip. When my two friends and I first started gambling, we looked for possible ways to get some predictions, and we went searching on Facebook and found a lot of groups and pages that offer gambling tips, but the admin said we would have to pay first to get the predicted numbers, and after we did, we were given some sports booking codes, but among all that we paid for, there were no wins, so we were scammed. That's how we took the decision to learn the tips ourselves, and from them, I also got a gambling tip that stuck in my head: "no matter how professional a gambler is, they will still face losses.".

I saw your victories and today I see your defeats, when you look back, are you in profit or are you in loss? do you intend to continue betting these large sums of money or do you already realize that it is time to stop gambling and focus on other things, because the purpose of gambling in the long term is that the bank will break, even if it takes a long time to person is playing and does not give up, then the bank will break and the person will have to put more money to play, so I ask you if you still intend to continue playing with high amounts of money or have you already stopped playing?

another question I have is: how did you withdraw that high amount of money from the casino to the bank? the casino didn't create problems for you? how did you analyze the games knowing that you were going to put a lot of money in the bet, did that not create pressure? did you watch every game you placed bets on? I also noticed that in your multibet bets you added soccer, tennis, baseball, a mixture of sports, how did you deal with all that? because tennis games are boring to watch, and I'm not even going to talk about baseball, because I can't watch this one for even 5 minutes

Thanks for the clarification mate, indeed, we will only see or hear what gamblers are going to tell us, those big wins. But at least you open everything with those big bets that you put and it seems that it was a "sure win", nevertheless it was a very bad break to lose those games with incredible odds to win. Just surprises me though that you got a ton of PM's regarding your huge wins, hehehe. Still base on luck though, so I guess for them, they should take that risk and maybe one day they can win big just like what you reach the last time. Right now I'm on a losing streak myself, Lol, but I do know that one of this days, maybe lucky luck will smile on me.  Smiley

Good for you, some people post only the bright side of their gambling career, it's like Instagram photos, you don't post bad ones, so for you to post your losses now after seeing how people reacted to seeing your big win is admirable, you felt the guilt of their gambling addiction, because I gotta be honest, when I see someone win a big bet, it starts to look easy for me too, but with seeing those losses you posted, it sets me back a little, that Wawrinka one was wild.

Gambling is a game of luck and it can hit you profit today and next tommorow you lose everything you have achieved, so therefore i want us to believe such point, because if you keep the documents of what you use in playing gambling and what you don't use in playing gambling, you will notice that sometimes the lost will be higher than the profit and it's difficult before you can see the profit go higher than what you spent so far.

there will always be losses and winnings in gambling. and if you're not prepared for it, you will go deep not only with debt but trouble in terms of your family relationships. do remember that this is gambling and no one is immune to losses at some point of their journey. so if you are not up to it, much better to walk a different path before it is too late for you. hard to keep those list of winnings and losses if you have active gambling activities. sometimes big losses and winnings are just the only ones which really stick to your mind.

Please only gamble what you can afford to lose and if you don't have discipline or control you shouldn't be gambling. I can't stress that enough.


People should realize this on which when it comes to gambling then risks would always the main thing that you would encounter then whats the thing that you do mainly need? Of course it would be talking about
luck which does really plays a main role when we do speak about winning. Good thing that you do make out that kind of realistic approach toward sports betting and did show to the public that anyone could mess up
even on a one sided match or even how low the odds it would be.It doesnt really guarantee a sure win and this is where people should really be believing.
There would be no assurance when it comes to gambling because anything could really happen along the way which would really be changing up on what are those expected results.
This is where we do say that regrets do always come at end, when you are pushing that hard and trying out to make things happen on something on your mind then you would be ending up on a disaster because this isnt

how things goes. Gambling is for fun and only bet on the amount which you can afford to lose.Dont go into certain lengths which it isnt really that ideal anymore because you would really be losing money if you do stick with those false hopes and beliefs.

Slight chance of losing could still count as chance on losing your money which is the very basic concept of gambling.

Thank you for sharing this. People respond quickly to results and winning and tend to forget the periods of losses and they somehow wish they can have one without the other. In gambling, trading, investing, starting a business, or launching your platform, there is a huge element of risk, the risk that you could lose out in the end. If you do win after different trials, you should inform people of the losses which led up to it so they have a full idea, and I respect you for talking about that.

Gambling is just like bitcoin trading, but less reliable. Always let people know of the risks.

Thank you for being transparent. I often get greedy when i see posts or videos winning insane amount of money. At that moment all i see is the winnings and completely forget that most people don't get those. In fact many people lose a lot while pursuing jackpots.

I see this mentality especially people who play lottery. Changes are astronomically high. When changes are one to too high numbers for people to comprehend. They tend to forget the odds and just think what they would buy with the jackpot. In fact that could be the best part of the game i suppose.

If people would posted all their losses, most games bets with low changes of winning would seem unattractive.

I wish I had this money that I could gamble I do not put more then $10 at a time because I cannot afford to lose any more. I do not know how people can risk their money when they could be using it for other things in their life. I could never put a bet of $600000 even if I had that money and would be willing to lose it I would go invest it into some thing else that would be safer. Gambling has too many variables and I think I would have bought Bitcoin with that money instead.
We know that each person does have their own financial capability on dealing up with things and this is why we should really accept that there are people who could really afford or do make out those big amounts which
we do really have those thoughts that it would be better if they would really be make use into other things which these people arent realizing or simply they do have that lots of money and thats why they arent really that minding. It is really just that amazing on how these fellas do thrown out thousands of dollars on each bet or roll on t he time that they do gamble. We know that this is a game of luck where losses and winnings
are inevitable but in general sense on which gambling do always talks about the risks.

It is the right decision to reject people asking you to use their money for betting no matter how good their promise of sharing the winnings.  People who has no intention to take advantage of people will kindly decline funds like that.  And this shows that @OP is a good person and at the same time wise gambler.  

It is also great that @OP shares his losses so that people will know that winning in gambling is not easy as we think.  Besides, gambling result is random although sports betting might give us an easier way to win if we have the skill and knowledge of the data and statistics of the player or teams at the end of the day there is always a variable factor that will greatly affect the result of the game.  


Threads are getting pages and pages because the of discussions of picks though. Every sport and match is asked looking in hopes of tips from fellow gamblers. $20,000 is quite a confident bet.

How often do you win will be the next question because if the rate is still worth it, those users who sent you PM still have the hope to take the risk of your picks.


@OP is a veteran of sportsbetting , I think Smiley.  He is very confident with his sports analysis but that loss simply shows that gambling isn't always a win even though we are confident about our knowledge on sports betting and it is good of him that he share that losing experience for the sake of educating us about gambling possibilities.
