I'm done with gambling.

Just wanted to tell everyone that I am done with gambling. I realized that at this point in my life, I can longer gamble. I seem to get in the same position every year and I think it's better to just stay away. Over the past two weeks, I have got beat with a bunch of bs and have been stressed over it. I have lost five games by one point, two games by half point, lost wyoming last week who was going in for the clincher and the fumble the ball and the guy returns it 87 yards, lost cali big yesterday who looked like they were on cruise control, lost nevada yesterday at the end because of a missed extra point, and plenty more. Just bad beat after bad beat. I had my best baseball season, but my worst college season.

I'm gonna now going to get back my life lol instead of studying games and lines. I hope this helps my anger problems lol. Now I can focus on things in life I passed on because I'm in front of the computer or TV.

I think gambling can be rewarding if you have a nice bankroll and can control it. I can't. So I'm just gonna stay away for good.

I'm gonna miss talking to people about games. I will still be around here because this place is great, I just won't play any games.

GL guys.

Sorry to hear that Walk, what we all do here is very frustrating and stressful at times and it sounds like you're having one of those times. Keep your chin up, and everything will work out for you. You're definitely one of the good guys here and wish you all the best, man
