Gambling after you have been drinking is never a good thing and you should try to avoid this. Your football bets tonight seem to have a good chance though and i wish you luck

Start reducing the amount you bet on each game and keep variety on your bets. Once i transformed 5€ into 160€ in a multiple bet from Champions League. It was a bonus and i had to bet 50€ about thirty times with odds above 1.50 in order to put the hands on it. Strategy: bets of 2€ and 3€ on 30 or 30 matches per day, almost all with odd above 1.5. Some i lost, some won, but usual i would get to the end of the day with more or less the same value i started, with the advantage of having acomplished a big percentage of the necessary bets to turn the bonus money into my money. Long story short, i made it, i put the hands on €190. When i finaly got it, i thought "i have a nice strategy, i could keep up with this and see if i can get to the four digits..." but then i thought better "i never withdrawed so much money online, this is my chance" and so i put the hands on it. Who knows, maybe another time in the future. By the way, it all started in a site that offered up to €50 in bonus in case i failed my first bet, and i did it with €50 in a single game!
You really dont watch that many Champions League games are you? As soon as I red Ibra was out I took 20 unit on the 2-0 Chelsea win before the game. Not even Cavani made think this twice. It looks like not just friend from last week but you have some gambling problems too. As long as your wallett could carry you...

gl with your remaining bets, hope you get some money back. But i guess thats the life of a gambl... erm sports betting person, its a rollercoaster so you gotta learn to live with it (which you obviously have done long time ago ).

betting on golf is suicidal if you flat bet, you need to have a proper system and use each way bets correctly , i know somebody who is good at golf and his ew wins make his bankroll ticks and the big wins make the money. Small roi over time is the best way to make money long term. Cheers have fun betting I do too. Anyway hope you bounce back quick!

Wow if you've lost enough money on gambling $ 600 is enough. I also played some games and gambling but just looking at most $ 0.25 per spin. With regard to sports betting and not even tried but meparece interesting and I try to try their luck. Animo friend hope your results are positive and you recover soon.
Posted by Theapple: any update on this one, or we really have to wait for next blog to see did u manage to get any money back?
Even if he did, he eventually would loose again in the future. No serious BR management, just some impulse buy here and there on not really profitable games. Not sure if Im liking what I read every week.

well, when i was younger i used to be like that too. but then i got an arrow to the knee.
ok i lied, i wasnt much of a 'real' gambler, but i did play those slots u find in bars from time to time, mostly for fun But sometimes (especially if drunk) id do stupid things like losing a few beers worth of money on slots, and trying to win it back. Which would usually end up with losing 10x more
but yes, i guess you really need a proper money management for anything you do, including sports betting (probably even more so compared to most rl things that require money, which, thanks to ever evolving economy and our beloved world getting better and better place, is some modest 98% of rl stuff nowadays). God bless capitalism D:
makes u wonder how long til they start taxing air Oh well, as long as some can afford to buy a home on mars, everything is working as intended.
ps: idk how i ended up rambling about something irrelevant to this topic but i guess stranger things have happened so its all good
