My last thread here a few weeks ago I was livid because I sent Bookmaker a deposit but the blockchain was running slow and my money wasn’t received in time to place what I wanted to bet. Would’ve cleaned up. I don’t remember the exact plays but it was HR parlays involving Judge and Ohtani and some other players. All bets would’ve cashed. I played that deposit out and haven’t made a bet since.
I’m done. The joy is gone. Don’t even miss it. First time in 35 years I don’t even think about it. In the past that would’ve been impossible. Don’t think I’ve ever gone two days without placing a bet. I check the soccer scores throughout the day and get zero urge to be in action.
Here’s the reason for the thread. Buddy asks me yesterday who I like in the Derby. Zero research, know nothing about any of the horses. Take a look at the entries and zero right in on Golden Tempo. Reason I picked him was post position. For some reason I thought 18-19-20 wins a lot. Checked last night after race, turns out it doesn’t. If I was still gambling I either don’t bet him, even after deciding I liked him, or he doesn’t win. Post time would come and I’d bet the favorite.
Anyone out there struggling with the addiction, there will be a day where the joy will be gone and an off ramp will appear. Don’t pass the exit. Haven’t felt this good in 35 years. Best of luck fellas. Nice knowing all of you.
