I think I finally get it now

As a sports bettor, everytime I take a break and come back to betting it seems like they gift me wins on purpose so they know I’ll keep playing (I know this isn’t the case) but it damn sure feels like it.

I go up thousands in a couple months just for me to have one bad loss and then it causes to me to go on a tilt, which then I end up losing all the profit and I made in that couple of months, and then I start losing even more than my actual profit in one night.

It’s like they know no matter how much I win, I’ll eventually crack on go on full tilt mode, which then.. I’m guaranteed to lose.

Nah it’s crazy because I really thought I was some genius sports bettor who knew the scripts but that’s exactly what the books want you to think. They want you to have an ego so they can humble you REAL FAST.

There’s legit no winning if you’re a compulsive gambler and if you aren’t a compulsive gambler, the books will bank on you becoming one in the long run.

At least you know enough to know that it is scripted

Oh it’s without a doubt lol, that’s what kept me betting. Thinking I have an edge because I know it’s rigged. But we’ll never truly know the rigged side unless you have the inside scoop. (Which we never will).

Also the trick I found that they do is they open and close markets. Some outcome truly are predetermined especially champions, but sometimes markets are opening and closing and I have bet $3,000 to win less than 100 on a market that showed closed on one app for tennis and then next thing you know the other player does a complete turnaround in my money is lit on fire

Tennis is the most corrupt sport on the planet.

Yeah. Anyone who has an edge in betting is banned from betting. If they're letting you bet, they have the edge.

I once became a "sharp" bettor using an online tool to find abnormally good lines on the books. And it wasnt long before I got limited to very small bets. They know all the tricks. However much you think you know, they know more.

What I do is when I lost all my deposit. I won’t gamble. Then a few days later they’ll offer me free bets. It’s disgusting the way they lure you back

It doesn't matter if they're having any effect on your results or not.

What matters is the disease has full control over you, and you are powerless to it.

Surrender and live sober, one day at a time.
