Como eu sobrevivi a uma dependência de jogo DoughRoller recebe compensação de algumas empresas que emitem produtos financeiros, como cartões de crédito e contas bancárias, que aparecem neste site. A menos que uma postagem esteja claramente marcada Patrocinada, no entanto, os produtos mencionados em artigos editoriais e revisões são baseados na avaliação subjetiva dos autores do seu valor para os leitores, e não para compensação. A compensação pode afetar como e onde os produtos aparecem em páginas não-editoriais (por exemplo, páginas de comparação ou de mercado). Dito isto, nosso padrão é que nunca aceitamos publicidade de um produto que não nos usaríamos. Eu foguei com outros blogs de finanças pessoais, às vezes pode vislumbrar suas vidas com uma frase aqui e uma frase lá, mas a melhor postagem que eu já li foi escrita por Lazy Man and Money. Um dia, por qualquer motivo, ele decidiu contar a sua mãe pela primeira vez o que eles estavam fazendo para ganhar a vida. Foi curto, mas fantástico e me inspirou um pouco a fazer o mesmo, embora com o que você possa considerar um tópico mais difícil. Uma das vantagens de escrever para um site que tem uma grande audiência é que, às vezes, você pode se expressar quando ninguém realmente sabe quem você é. DR tem sido gentil o suficiente para me permitir que este fórum escreva regularmente sobre a maioria das coisas relacionadas às finanças pessoais e agora I8217ve decidiu compartilhar com você algo que considero ser a minha maior conquista. Nos últimos dez meses, I8217ve sido livre de apostas. Quando a maioria das pessoas pensa em jogar, eles pensam em uma classe diferente de pessoa. O termo 8220degenerate8221 parece estar sempre anexado, e se você iniciou uma pesquisa sobre se beber ou apostar era um vício de 8220worse8221, you8217d tinha resultados mistos. Eu não me vejo como um degenerado nunca, nunca o fará. I8217m apenas uma criança que trabalhou em uma situação muito terrível sem uma saída visível. Sem mais adios, aqui vamos nós. O ano de 1999 e eu tinha 16 anos. Uma grande noiva para esportes, eu convenci meu pai de depositar 200 em uma conta de apostas online porque eu sabia, de fato, que os Duke Blue Devils iriam matar os Wildcats do Arizona no campeonato de basquetebol da faculdade masculina. Duke foi favorecido para ganhar apenas três pontos (o que significa que, depois de subtrair três pontos do resultado final do Duke8217s, a pontuação mais alta ganha a aposta), então coloquei todos os 200. Infelizmente para mim, eu estava certo e senti uma pressa de adrenalina com 16 anos de idade não tem sensação de negócios. Foi o princípio do fim. Eu me formei no ensino médio e participei da Universidade de Miami em uma bolsa parcial. Meus pais realmente não quiseram que eu deixasse o estado de Nova Jersey, mas eu queria sair, pelo menos temporariamente. Porque a escola era tão cara, prometi pagar o meu próprio caminho, qual é o principal motivo pelo qual atualmente me sento no topo de uma montanha de empréstimos estudantis de 150K. Neste momento da minha vida, o jogo não era realmente uma grande parte disso. Gostaria de depositar algumas centenas de dólares aqui e algumas centenas de dólares lá e eu realmente era muito bom nisso. O esporte é o que eu conhecia melhor, e enquanto eu estava obtendo um diploma em jogos de apostas da Universidade (oficialmente chamado de probabilidade e estatística), também estava aprimorando minhas habilidades de handicap (termos de jogo profissional). Quanto mais apertado o meu conjunto de habilidades de jogo, maior o problema se tornou. Comecei a pular aulas aleatórias porque havia um jogo de baseball na TV. 50 apostas transformadas em 100 apostas. 100 apostas transformadas em 200 apostas. 200 apostas transformadas em 500 apostas. Enquanto isso, minhas notas A se transformaram em A-. O A-8216s transformou-se em B8217 e em ocasiões raras, os B8217s transformaram-se em C8217s e D8217s (e um infame F). Qualquer handicapper irá dizer-lhe que para fazê-lo direito, você tem que passar por montanhas de informações e seguir todos os jogos, porque mesmo o menor detalhe pode dar-lhe a vantagem que você precisa para tomar a decisão certa. Mais e mais do meu tempo estava indo para o jogo e menos e menos do meu tempo em tudo o mais. Eu estava tão bem, que estava recebendo cheques de sites de apostas online em 10.000 pessoas mensalmente. Eu estava sacrificando minha vida, para apostar. Mas tão rápido quanto os cheques entraram, eles voltaram para trás. O problema com o jogo é que mesmo os vencedores se tornam perdedores, porque você simplesmente pode desligá-lo. Quando eu estava voando alto, eu estimado que eu estava em frente por 85.000 e minha intenção era ganhar tanto quanto eu precisava pagar meus empréstimos estudantis em um único pagamento. Então, encontrei um problema perdedor que eu simplesmente não podia parecer agitar. Gambling 101 ensina você a não perseguir suas perdas e se afastar. Raios quentes são impressionantes, mas raias frias podem arruinar você para sempre. Eu estava tão perto do meu objetivo de 100.000 que eu poderia provar, mas 500 de cada vez, estava escorregando. Algumas das minhas perdas eram tão inacreditáveis, eu olhava para o céu e me pergunto o que eu fiz para merecer isso. Depois de perder cerca de 25 mil em um mês, eu usei o 8221. O jogo de futebol anual ArmyNavy estava na TV e com a ofensa terrível do Army8217 e da maneira como a Marinha controla o relógio, eu estava certo de que o jogo ficaria abaixo de 53 pontos. (A pontuação final dos dois times combinada). A pontuação foi apenas 3-0 após o primeiro trimestre e fiquei impressionado. Finalmente, I8217ve voltar e estou pronto para alcançar meu objetivo mais uma vez. Bem, é preciso dizer que essas equipes fizeram uma disputa nos últimos três quartos e perdi 11 mil em um jogo de futebol. Acho que expirei durante o 4º trimestre quando percebi que perdi porque lembro de cada segundo de cada jogo que eu já aposto, exceto aquele. Então, tão rápido quanto ganhei todo esse dinheiro, acabei perdendo. Quando terminei o meu diploma, provavelmente apostei mais de 5 milhões em apostas totais e a loucura é a partir de uma perspectiva de lucro, eu estava com apenas 1.200. Dezenas de milhares de horas foram colocadas em cinco anos (porque eu era muito preguiçoso e muito investido em jogos de azar para terminar em quatro) de apostas na faculdade e eu tinha -1.200 para mostrar por isso. Na maioria das noites de sábado, passamos nos clubes, bares ou casas de amigos, em vez da TV ou computador, assistindo um jogo de Futebol Australiano às 3:30 da manhã. Geelong Cats sempre foi a aposta segura lá, caso você quisesse saber. Eu terminei a escola com uma enorme dívida de empréstimo da faculdade, nenhum trabalho imediato e o receio de que, se eu voltasse para casa, eu fiquei exposto para o jogador habitual que eu tinha tornado. Eu decidi ficar em Miami e com dois dias na minha locação de apartamento no campus, encontrei um novo apartamento. Pelo menos eu não devia ficar desabrigado Duas semanas depois disso, tornei-me gerente de loja da cadeia de fast food local de Boston Market. Uma coisa na qual eu sempre trabalhei muito foi meu trabalho e fui empregado em algum lugar todos os dias desde os 7 anos de idade. Eu comecei no carrinho de frutas, trabalhei no meu caminho através da venda de bolas de golfe e pergunte às pessoas se eles queriam picles no McDonalds por seis anos, e trabalharam dois empregos na faculdade. A renda não foi suficiente para complementar meu aluguel mensal e pagamento de empréstimo de estudante, então comecei a cair meses e meses atrás em muitos pagamentos. Adicione isso ao jogo que eu continuava a fazer com cada minuto de pouca hora do meu tempo livre e eu estava em uma forma bastante terrível. Lembro-me de pensar que eu poderia sair a qualquer momento. Pensei em jogar como passatempo que eu tinha controle total e quando o tempo estava certo, eu simplesmente desligaria. Se eu tivesse meu calendário de 2008 na minha frente, você veria dois ou três dias por mês que diziam que o primeiro dia do resto da minha vida era o 8222. Com cada tentativa fracassada, comecei a duvidar de mim e com cada colecionador que me chamou, temi que estivesse preso neste buraco pelo resto da minha vida. Passei 8 horas por dia focada estritamente em jogos de azar. Inferno, eu poderia contar-lhe os 53 jogadores da lista para todas as equipes de futebol profissional, incluindo os antecedentes da faculdade e suas estatísticas. Mesmo agora, I8217m carregado com milhares de fatos esportivos inúteis e conhecimento do jogador que não tem outro propósito além do jogo. Mas mesmo com o vício, eu ainda conseguia trabalhar e viver uma vida que não estava completamente fora de controle. Peguei um novo emprego com um pouco mais de dinheiro e foi forte o suficiente para pagar as necessidades. Apenas não é forte o suficiente para chutar o hábito, suponho. Nada que eu parecia funcionar funcionou. Eu tentei fechar todas as minhas contas de jogo, mas eu simplesmente reabriria novas em alguns dias. Se não fosse esporte, era poker, apostas em corridas e até casinos online. (Que é apenas suicídio financeiro). Não sabia o que fazer. Financeiramente, eu estava melhor do que antes, mas ainda em negativo a cada mês. Em setembro de 2009, tomei a decisão mais louca da minha vida e decidi sair do meu trabalho sem novo emprego à vista e zero dólares de renda futura esperada. Meu trabalho estava inibindo meu jogo, porque eu descartei o odiá e eu não poderia aguardar para ir para casa, ligar 500 em uma conta online e assistir diminuir a nada. Era mais sobre a atividade demorada do que ganhava ou perdeu dinheiro e, enquanto eu costumava me apressar a vencer e a perder, agora estava um pouco imune a tudo. Com absolutamente nenhum esforço da minha parte. Encontrei uma garota que tolerava minha empresa e um trabalho que salvou minha vida. Mais e mais do meu tempo estava passando do jogo para o trabalho e uma vida social e consegui concentrar minha prática.8221 em coisas mais saudáveis. Nos últimos 10 meses, em vez de chegar ao cartão de crédito, I8217m a noite toda assistindo comédias românticas (é o mínimo que posso fazer por ela), ou escrevendo sobre como ajudar os outros a evitar as armadilhas em que caíam. I8217ve alcançado a maioria dos meus empréstimos e sou capaz de economizar uma quantidade de dinheiro tão pequena por mês em uma conta poupança de juros altos. Como no mundo eu fiz isso, gostaria de poder fornecer instruções passo a passo sobre como quebrar um vício de jogo, mas eu posso. Para mim, a estratégia que funcionou foi reorientar meu vício em outras coisas além do jogo. Eu tinha atingido o fundo do rock um par de vezes em relação a perder muito dinheiro, mas eu era um dos sortudos. Comecei adiante e só perdi dinheiro da casa no longo prazo. Eu me pergunto o que teria me tornado se eu tivesse começado um perdedor de jogo Chilling. Então, enquanto eu não aprovava exatamente o modo Lazy Man and Money e anunciei como eu vivi os últimos 8 anos da minha vida para minha família, isso é um começo. Espero que você tenha gostado de ler sobre minha miséria tanto quanto gostei de escrever sobre isso. Se você se encontra em uma situação de jogo semelhante, o melhor curso de ação pode não ser o que funcionou para mim. Admitir que você tenha um problema é realmente o primeiro passo para se mudar na direção certa e se você fala para alguém perto de você ou um estranho completo, ele é um começo. Os comentários são anônimos, sinta-se à vontade para pedir ajuda se precisar. Escuto, eu prometo.

Obrigado, obrigado, obrigado, eu tenho procurado um guia abrangente sobre tudo-dinheiro e isso tem sido tão informativo. --Danielle Comece o desafio do dinheiro de 31 dias 79 Respostas a 8220Como eu sobrevivi a um addiction de jogo8221 Wow8230, que é uma história incrível Obrigado por compartilhar Parabéns por ser 10 meses 8220sober8221. Isso é definitivamente uma conquista. Muitas pessoas têm vícios de jogo hoje em dia fazem com as perdas de emprego No ano passado, perdi 30 mil em vários casinos jogando Blackjack. A melhor parte, I8217m, acabei meus mestres, então eu tenho um carrido de dívidas estudantis 8211 dívida total agora, é 85K. Eu poderia ter tido 50K, mas o 30K foi gasto em jogos de azar. Última viagem ao cassino Cerca de 3 semanas atrás. Eu bati o fundo do rock e mal tenho um dólar para o meu nome. Eu começo um emprego a tempo inteiro em setembro e criei um plano financeiro forte utilizando uma bola de neve de dívida. Por enquanto, eu ando por 45 minutos cada caminho da estação de trem porque me salva 5 dias em taxas de trânsito. E então, havia os dias em que eu colocaria 1000 na mesa do cassino sem pensar nisso duas vezes. Sua história é uma inspiração que existe uma saída 8211 e você tem minha palavra, eu vou me afastar disso. I8217ve trabalhou muito difícil por muitas coisas por muito tempo para deixar tudo escapar. Eu voltarei, e se eu me lembrar, publicarei um comentário aqui novamente toda vez que eu pagar 10K. Ou pelo menos as primeiras vezes P Pense em isso, posso iniciar um blog sobre isso, lol It8217s é importante encontrar coisas fora da escola e do casino com as quais você possa ocupar sua mente, senão você só vai se aprofundar . O estado de espírito de que sua vida é muito valiosa para desperdiçá-la agora é ótima, mas esses mesmos pensamentos correram pela minha cabeça muitas vezes para contar. Eu ainda fiz desculpas para apostar e ainda pensei que poderia ganhar dinheiro suficiente para cobrir a dívida da faculdade e as perdas de jogo anteriores. Gostaria de encorajá-lo a acompanhar a cada vez que a idéia de colocar uma aposta percorre sua cabeça porque, mesmo que pareça que você pode vencer isso, seus pensamentos escritos podem dizer o contrário. Mantenha-nos atualizados e boa sorte. Obrigado por compartilhar sua história. A maioria das pessoas teria medo de deixar seu adicto ser conhecido. Eu lancei um vício de jogo, o que levou à minha falência em 1996. Eu escrevi sobre isso no meu blog, mas já era uma década no passado, quando escrevi sobre isso. Eu não tinha certeza se eu teria estado disposto a escrever sobre isso muito mais cedo. História fascinante, Michael. Parece um passeio selvagem, cara. Fico feliz em ver que você terminou a escola apesar de todos os altos e baixos. Boa história, eu gosto de jogar alguns dólares em um jogo aqui ou ali. Felizmente, nunca fui sugado, é realmente poderoso. O Money cresce rapidamente e você precisa apostar mais para ter a sensação. Obrigado por compartilhar e espero que você possa ficar forte. Sempre pode lembrar as equipes ou o jogador aleatório que explodiu a aposta também, coisas boas. História fascinante e detalhada. Eu posso acreditar depois de todos esses anos e todas aquelas apostas que você estava apenas para baixo 1.200 Você acha que você poderia jogar um pouco ou você está ao longo das linhas de um alcoólatra onde uma bebida também pode ser 12 Alegre que você chutou o hábito It8217s diversão para saber quais são as linhas e apostar dinheiro pequeno para diversão como 10 dólares. Isso é possível para você fazer com seus amigos e colegas. Ou é uma proposta de tudo ou nada I8217ve nunca classificou apostas amigáveis como parte do problema. Eu costumo fazer essas 5 ou 10 apostas para se gabar de direitos e nada mais, então eu imaginaria se eles surgissem, ainda assim eu participo. Meus problemas se tornaram a pressa de chegar em casa, indo para Western Union e fazer um punhado de depósitos no período de 72 horas. Eu acho que isso é um pouco diferente de beber, mas acho que vou descobrir isso em breve. Estou muito feliz por ter encontrado sua história, já que deixei-me ficar envolvido em jogos de azar na medida em que perdi muito mais de 1.200 nos últimos 15 anos ou mais. No entanto, naquele tempo, eu disse a mim mesmo uma e outra vez que foi essa a última vez que 82218230. E você sabe como a história vai de lá. Sua história tem sido uma inspiração para mim e um genuíno Kick in the Ass para me mover na estrada para a finalidade8221. Obrigado novamente pela abertura para todos nós. Que grande história. Eu sempre penso em vícios de drogas ou álcool, mas há tantos outros que podem ser tão devastadores. Um excelente tio meu ganhou e perdeu várias fortunas em sua vida. Um homem doce, muito amável de coração. Ele morreu em um quarto de hotel perto de Pittsburgh. Acabei recentemente de participar de um programa GA em Las Vegas. Minha carreira de apostas começou quando mudei para Vegas e em 5 anos, perdi cerca de 50K total e finalmente disse o suficiente. É uma luta todos os dias, pois é uma adição, como crack ou álcool. Ao apostar, foi uma fuga da realidade e tornou-se tudo comsuming como você afirmou. Partindo é difícil, ficar longe é mais difícil, especialmente em Las Vegas. Tive a sorte de ver a luz cedo. Eu ouço outras histórias dos membros da GA e eles são horríveis e eu me considero afortunado de pegá-lo antes de me afundar em algumas dessas profundezas. Tenha cuidado, pode pegar você fora de você e sugá-lo de volta. Engraçado, como assistir a um filme sobre minha vida. Exceto isso -1200. Meu menos é muito maior. Eu investei 6 anos da minha vida em apostas esportivas, cada mina de manhã a noite e eu simplesmente não posso aceitar a derrota e não até a final. Eu de alguma forma menagei para terminar 2 faculdades e é apenas uma coisa brilhante nos meus últimos 6 anos. Eu sou uma fêmea de 51 anos. Eu comecei a jogar quando meu marido estava trabalhando trabalhando longas horas e eu estava entediado. Era jogo on-line, há cerca de 15 anos atrás. Eu perdi tudo. Minha bela casa, meu marido, meu trabalho, meus recursos. TUDO. Aqui é agora 2010 e estou desempregado, morando com minha filha e sem ativos ou espero por algum futuro. Eu deveria estar ansioso para me aposentar e viajar. Mas, não, joguei meus 70.000 401k de distância anos atrás. As pessoas se matam menos do que isso. Eu queria culpar meu marido. Por que não tentou me ajudar? Tudo o que ele diria, é melhor você parar de apostar. Nunca pensei que ele me deixaria. Apenas ontem, ganhei 2400 na fila e estava tão feliz8230 algumas horas depois, tudo acabou. Que tipo de pessoa faz com que isso não tenha sentido para mim, então, como eu posso esperar que alguém entenda, eu então culpo o casino online por ter uma retirada de 24 horas 8220. Se apenas o dinheiro foi direto para minha conta bancária quando eu Cobrado. Mas não, eu só tenho a culpa. Eu preciso do dinheiro mais do que qualquer coisa, e fiquei tão feliz que eu ganhei, no entanto, lentamente, voltei a tentar ganhar mais e assisti-la diminuir. Eu tentei Gamblers Anonymous, mas tudo isso fala sobre jogos de azar, só queria me fazer chegar em casa e apostar. Nunca vou entender essa doença. Pelo menos um vício de drogas faz sentido. Este addiction doesn8217t. Eu fui ao ponto de deixar algum dinheiro em casa, se eu fosse a um dos casinos indianos aqui em AZ, e quando eu perdi o que tudo trouxe, eu realmente fui todo o caminho de volta para casa para obter o dinheiro que eu deixei, E voltou para o cassino. O que é isso Então, aqui eu sento, esperando, nunca jogue novamente. Mas sabendo no fundo, amanhã ou no dia seguinte, estarei aqui perdendo dinheiro. Porque eu amo tanto. Okay, certo. Dê ao jogador uma razão para apostar e eles agradecem por isso. Eu costumava encontrar maneiras loucas para evitar eventos sociais e sair do trabalho apenas para que eu pudesse assistir meu evento esportivo e assistir o tempo marcar. Nunca me envolvi com o cassino online. Obrigado a Deus, mas você tem que encontrar outra coisa além do jogo. Sentado em casa o dia todo apenas para ser tentado uma e outra vez, sempre vai acabar com você. Lembro-me quando eu iria dar uma volta ao pensar o quão estúpido eu estava por retirar dinheiro só para perder horas depois. Eu disse que este era o último dia em que eu jogaria e 24 horas eu cederia. Literalmente, centenas de tentativas 8220 falhadas8221, mas depois tive a sorte que eu sempre faria, e encontrei um emprego e uma mulher que ocupa 100 do meu tempo . Eu tenho que ela me guie na direção certa, se necessário, e o desejo de apostar está 100 desaparecido. (Pelo menos por enquanto) Todos precisam de um sistema de suporte e se você tiver alguma família ou amigos dentro de um raio de 1.000 milhas, você precisa pedir ajuda. Admita suas falhas, e espero que elas ajudem você a controlar esse vício. Duas cabeças são sempre melhores do que uma e talvez você possa obter mais do que isso. Ei, Michael, parece que temos aproximadamente a mesma idade. Primeiro, eu admito que eu tenho um problema de jogo compulsivo. O que é pior é que eu sou bom em apostas esportivas. Minhas grandes perdas vieram de apostar grande como 10-15k um jogo. E aí, onde eu tive problemas. Outros 2 meses e I8217m fizeram o pagamento da minha dívida na íntegra (após 3 anos). Eu tenho esse sistema de futebol da NCAA que só aposta com base em movimentos de pontos reversos e é um vencedor de 100. Em uma temporada eu só recebo como 7-10 escolhe toda a temporada, mas eles atingiram 100 do tempo. Eu também tenho este sistema de basquete NCAA da 2ª metade que ganha cerca de 76,27 do tempo. It8217s puramente baseado no que as pessoas estão apostando. Se o meu sistema é tão alto nos últimos 3 anos, por que estou perdendo It8217 porque não só apostei esses jogos, aposto outros jogos que eu acho que vão ganhar. Eu sigo meu sistema e venho e aposto outros jogos e perco big8230. É bastante óbvio, então, apenas aposte que o sistema joga, mas isso é porque eu tenho um problema. Eu me engano a cada vez que eu só seguirei o meu sistema joga, mas SEMPRE SEMPRE saio da pista e aposto outros jogos8230 e perco. Em algum momento, todos estão em8230. Mesmo com um sistema vencedor8230, sou um grande perdedor. Independentemente do sistema que eu tenho, percebi que sempre vou perder porque não posso me controlar8230 It8217s 3am agora como I8217m publicando isso, encontrei seu site através de google 8220sports gambling addiction stories.8221 Eu tinha um 3-team parlay hoje que Aposto 3.000 com o meu jogo NCAA Basketball. Ganhei 18 mil. Então aposto todo o saldo da conta esta noite em um jogo não-play8230I apostei em Pittsburgh em casa esta noite e perdi meu total saldo da conta. Não se ajustou a nenhum critério de apostas. Acabei de pensar que ia ganhar. Isso acontece uma e outra vez. Ganhe com meu sistema e apenas perca em escolhas de cabeça de osso que don8217t seguem um sistema8230 I8217m cansado de tudo isso Michael8230 Eu quero sair completamente porque sei que não posso me controlar apostando. A coisa é que eu dou as minhas escolhas vencedoras para o meu amigo em Las Vegas e ele só aposta e ganha dinheiro com isso. Ele não sabe que tenho um problema de jogo. Ele acha que eu faço muito bem porque cada escolha que eu dou é um vencedor. Peguei algumas medidas ativas e excluiu todas as aplicações esportivas no meu telefone Android. Eu disse a mim mesmo que ganhei, mas olhe para o ponto se espalhar mais, etc. Mas quanto tempo esta charada durará Quando a temporada de futebolball estiver acabada, eu não tenho problema8230, mas quando setembro rola em torno de i8217m sugado de volta para isso all8230 Mesmo com minha perda hoje a noite ainda estou no caminho certo para Ser capaz de pagar minha dívida até o final de dezembro deste ano. Minha namorada de 5 anos não sabe que eu tenho esse problema8230. Ela pensa que I8217m realmente realmente em esportes. Nós meio que falamos sobre apostas esportivas antes e ela disse que deixaria a pessoa com certeza se ela sabia que ele destreza, e eu realmente posso dizer a ela. Eu também estou apenas a 2 meses de pagar todas as minhas dívidas. Eu sou apenas um grande bonehead8230. Como eu me impuro de apostar eu tenho uma conta online que eu realmente deveria cancelar, mas por algum motivo eu posso me fazer fazer isso8230. O que devo fazer O que você recomenda Outra noite sem dormir para mim agora para um erro de cabeça de osso8230 Eu disparo: 1. Quando alguém fala sobre spreads de pontos 2. A temporada de futebol começa 3. Quando eu vejo destaques esportivos e então penso em quem é um dinheiro fácil8230 I8217m Desculpe, i8217m, em todo o lugar8230. Eu cheguei a aceitar o fato de que meu sistema vencedor é apenas para os disciplinados8230.a8217s não me8230 Como você garante que você não esteja de volta às apostas. Quais dicas você pode dar. Talvez eu saiba o que eu preciso fazer, mas apenas Não farei isso. Eu estou respirando 8230. Eu sou um bonehead Pittsburgh certeza de ter feito um whooping esta noite hein. DR8217s é um grande fã de Pittsburgh também, de modo que faz duas pessoas infelizes. Eu sinto você cara. Eu me tornei bastante sólido no lado de basquete da NCAA do jogo, mas quando não havia basquete, eu aposto em outras coisas, simplesmente porque eu precisava de ação. Hóquei, Tênis, Regras Australianas Futebol, Rugby 8230 Eu sei mais sobre os esportes australianos do que penso em qualquer outra pessoa neste país. Triste mas verdadeiro. (Procure por Manly Sea Eagles este ano na NRL) Mas a única maneira de trabalhar meu caminho foi, bem, com o trabalho 8230. Eu tinha que encontrar outra coisa para me manter ocupado, porque qualquer tempo livre eu tinha me colocado bem na frente do meu computador, limitando linhas. Peguei um trabalho de segunda e terceira parte em arbitragem e arbitragem que me deixou fora da casa aos sábados (o que foi crucial para evitar o NCAAF) e agora eu gosto dos domingos para jogos de Jets e jogos de Jets apenas. Eu tentei dar um tom pelas apostas 8230 Eu tentei ficar com um sistema e pelo menos 20 vezes eu disse 8220Ok 8230 que começa NOW8221, mas isso nunca ficou preso. Parabéns em obter o seu nível de débito para baixo para zero, e posso fazer mais uma sugestão. Namorada de 5 anos parece muito séria e, para ser sincera, eu precisava de alguém para ajudar a me manter em cheque. Talvez você devesse estar limpo agora, especialmente porque você está tão perto do seu objetivo e pede sua ajuda para mantê-lo no caminho certo. Usei meu GF como um cão de guarda e, uma vez que vivemos juntos, era duplamente tão difícil esgueirar uma aposta. Realmente me manteve em linha reta e estreita. Boa sorte, meu homem. O grupo de 10 suportes é A-OK, mas apostar 18k na Cortina de Aço é mal avisado para a frente. Tenho 9 meses de jogo livre, depois da minha segunda suspensão da faculdade de depositar em contas de poker online com outras pessoas 8217s de plástico. Experimentei mudanças imensas e positivas na minha vida desde a parada e estou passando por toda a América para aumentar a conscientização sobre o problema do jogo. Comecei em Seattle e meu destino final em Boston, onde a Conferência Nacional sobre Problemas de Jogo será realizada no início de junho. Há muitas maneiras de parar um vício, e sua história é válida e segura. GA e família é o que funcionou para mim. Meu blog de viagem é MichaelWalksAmerica Obrigado por compartilhar. Ops, eu quis dizer 8220inspirando, 8221 não 8220insuring.8221 Swype texting8217s falha. Obrigado por compartilhar sua história. Nós somos da mesma idade e posso me relacionar de muitas maneiras. Estou tentando tão difícil superar o meu problema, mas parece tão impossível. Eu tive minha parte justa de histórias muito ruins, mesmo lidando com as casas de apostas. Eu expressei minha situação para minha família e amigos, mas ninguém sabe o quanto é sério. Estou pensando em GA ou mesmo em um terapeuta para ver se algo ajuda. Eu sei que eu tenho um problema e sei que às vezes eu vou aparecer grande em alguns jogos, mas eu também sei na parte de trás da minha cabeça, dando tudo de volta. Isso me faz pensar como posso pensar isso para mim mesmo antes de fazer a aposta e, no entanto, eu faço isso uma e outra vez. Muitas vezes eu digo, ok, é isso. Esta é a última batida ruim ou esta é a última aposta, mas sempre encontro meu caminho de volta. Hoje, fiz o primeiro passo para fechar minha conta desportiva on-line dizendo-lhes que tenho um problema para que eles desligem para a vida. Isso ajudará um pouco, mas eu sempre posso abrir outro accont com uma caixa de desporto diferente ou ir a Las Vegas ou mesmo ter um amigo a apostar na sua conta. Eu nunca mais sinto o bom sentimento. Assim como o filme dois pelo dinheiro, como eles dizem que não é quando você está tirando o dinheiro e ganhando agora eu recebo a pressa quando eu sei que eu simplesmente explodi tudo e não tenho mais nada na conta. Apenas escrevendo isso me deixa doente e apenas pensando como se alguém leu isso e não jogasse o quão grande de um idiota eu devo parecer. Eu não estou na pior posição agora em termos de dívida, mas eu podia ver algo ruim acontecendo no futuro, especialmente quando eu começar a ganhar mais e mais dinheiro e isso me assusta. Será que nunca é mais fácil ou é só isso que preciso lidar comigo? Eu não posso simplesmente continuar dizendo que esta é a última aposta. Eu fiz isso alguns meses atrás, quando eu soprei 10K em um fim de semana em Las Vegas e eu definitivamente joguei desde então. Eu simplesmente não consigo entender como eu não aprendo com esses erros muito idiotas. Obrigado novamente por publicar sua história e me dá um pouco de esperança. Depois de perder um negócio comercial de 500k mais no trabalho porque a esposa mz queria me encontrar em casa, consegui encontrar outros empregos. Eu me acharia sonhando com uma grande vitória por horas, dias, semanas e meses. Todo o tempo, minha esposa me perguntaria como estava o trabalho, como foi o dia do amanhecer. Etc. Nosso primeiro filho tinha acabado de nascer e desesperado para ganhar a vida para alimentar nossa pequena família, eu iria ao cassino e a reservar e desapareceria por dias inteiros. E quando voltei, minha esposa ficaria furiosa e perguntaria para onde eu estava. E eu ficaria quieto e as linhas começariam. No começo, ganhava consistentemente todos os dias. Eu usei martingale. Mas então eu apenas comecei a perder e depois perseguindo. E na minha cabeça eu continuava me dizendo que eu poderia quando. O impacto do comportamento mz só tornou-se real para mim uma vez que minha esposa me deixou. Então ela voltou e ainda continuei. Então fiquei preso em uma enfermaria de psiquiatra e depois voltou a sair. E não a vi desde então. Eu prometi a mim mesmo que nunca vou fazer outra aposta, nunca. Não tenho esse problema particular, mas minha mãe faz. Ela costumava me deixar em casa com o último marido por dias. Ela despertou centenas de meus dólares de apoio infantil no dia. Desculpe-me se eu soubesse o quanto eu tenho certeza. Eu sei que ela tem um problema, e eu realmente tentei ajudá-la. Eu até escondi meu cartão de banco dela uma vez. Mas ela encontrou. Depois de um tempo, meu pai percebeu o que estava acontecendo e me puxou para fora de lá. Eu sou um pouco amargo, sim. Mas sua história me mostra que há esperança para ela. Eu queria poder dizer que sua postagem foi útil para mim, mas não foi. Então, minhas perguntas aqui são estas: você era um bom handicapper, mas estava mal por gerir dinheiro 11 mil em um jogo, com menos de 100 000, que era mais de 10% do seu bankroll. Você está tentando dizer que é impossível prever o resultado dos jogos e encontrar suco às vezes ou que você era muito ganancioso para administrar o dinheiro. Ou que você deveria estudar, obter um bom trabalho e depois jogar. Deixe-me dizer-lhe que você tinha quase 100 000 em suas mãos, a maioria dos americanos nunca verá essa quantia de dinheiro, então qual foi o seu ponto. Muito obrigado por sua história. Acabei de começar a jogar compulsivamente nos últimos dois anos. Comecei com slots de centavo e agora I8217m jogando 25 slots em limites elevados. I8217ve ganhou mais de 70k este ano, mas perdeu praticamente tudo de volta em máquinas e pagando cartões de crédito que eu fiz adiantamentos em dinheiro no casino. Chegou ao ponto em que eu demoro um dia de folga aqui e aí para jogar e sinto-me doente quando tomo grandes perdas. Sua história me diz que há esperança. Eu conversei com as pessoas perto de mim na noite passada, pedindo o apoio deles ao abandono do jogo. Espero que consiga minha mente em outras coisas enquanto eu luto contra esse vício. Obrigado por compartilhar sua história 8211 Eu sinto que é como se fosse minha história, dado que I8217ve sido pré-ocupado com apostas esportivas durante os últimos 5 anos. Eu posso realmente lembrar quando eu comecei ou o que o desencadeou. Tudo o que sei é que eu me encontro em cerca de 20k de dívida e não tenho a ver uma saída. It8217s such a shameful secret 8211 I told my (now ex8230.not because of gambling) girlfriend last year about the extent of my problem and it was such a relief 8211 she was so supportive. I8217ve often thought about telling my parents and asking for some financial help 8211 just to clear some of the debt so I can breathe again, but I just can8217t do it. I8217m so ashamed 8211 it8217s something that is very easy to do in private8230.I sometimes think no one at work has any clue about this issues and how much trouble I8217ve gotten myself into financially. A few times I have tried to quit or stick to a real low percentage stake system where I wouldn8217t feel the losses, but I always end up breaking it with a stupid bet. Intellectually I know it8217s idiotic, but I do it anyway8230.I guess that8217s why they call it an addiction 8211 it8217s not rational. I feel like I know all the theory about how to bet 8216the right way8217, with percentages of bankrolls or whatever, but I don8217t put it into practice. I know not to chase losses or play multispartlays8230.but guess what I have done on a regular basis. I can remember some occasions of hitting rock bottom 8211 living paycheck to paycheck on a decent salary 8211 and in the week I wasn8217t getting paid, having to turn down offers to go out with friends or not going to the supermarket for food because I literally didn8217t have any money left to take out of my account. Betting 2k (on my credit card) on a single AFL game a few years ago, and losing8230I just felt numb 8211 I couldn8217t believe I had done that8230..not being able to sleep because I didn8217t know when interest would get charged on my credit card and I was worried I would max out before I next got paid. It8217s really been quite stressful at times. I had a couple of nice wins on the Brownlow Medal and some NBA futures a couple of years back and I swore I would reduce my credit limit after paying off debt8230.but I didn8217t8230.I think the very next week, I lost a bet on the AFL grand final, then before I knew it, I was betting on college football and NFL just for something to bet on over the Christmas break. I8217m now a fan of the NFL, but at the time I didn8217t really have any depth of knowledge of what I was betting on 8211 I was just doing a bit of internet research and following some picks here and there. In most cases, I didn8217t even have a strong feeling about the picks I was making 8211 the important thing was that I was in with a chance to win money. I haven8217t really tried to quit seriously 8211 part of me (the degenerate addict part) doesn8217t want to 8211 and that8217s why I know I have to start filling my life with other things. One of the worst things is that every day there is something to bet on 8211 basketball, football, baseball, tennis etc8230..all of these sports, I8217m really into independent of gambling, so it8217s tough to not have a bit of a wager on them as well. There isn8217t a day where you can8217t find an angle on something you like. And I8217ve noticed that on the rare occasions when I don8217t have a bet on something, I feel bit empty and at a loose end. Anyway, I8217ve rambled a bit. I just wanted to say it was good to read your story because I really identified with it. It8217s good to know I8217m not the only one I guess8230 Hello, no one answered my previous question so I8217ll ask again using a different angle. The idea i8217m getting here is that these post are being done by people addicted to nonsense gambling. As I have read before there is a 2 of sports bettors who wins and a 98 who lose. Most people with gambling addiction are in the 98 of losers group. I have been handicapping games and I have been able to find sometimes up to 80 chances of winning and the my prediction have been confirmed with the results most of the time. I have to say that I use a lot of mathematics formulas, trends and stats. My predictions are 99 of the time the same as those of the bookies, but there is this 1 where they mess up and I get my juice. I still don8217t bet and I need to learn from people like you who have walked the way. I8217m considering to go professional in sports betting but by now is only a hobbie till I get my master degree in science so I8217ll have more experience, money and time to handicap the games. I will be happy if one of you guys change my mind in this matter, but the way to do it is by giving me a scientific based analisis showing me that the bookies never go wrong. I have studied the stock market, the forex, and many other bussiness out there and none of them have ever showed me a profit winning rate of over 60. Can someone help me here I clear my mind. Or none of you guys have been serious bettor able to calculate and predict the outcome of the games as well or better than the bookies Frank, I don8217t think anyone is going to tell you that bookies don8217t get it wrong 8211 especially in this day and age, we all have access to a wealth of information and there are a lot of bettors out there who handicap using all sort of statistical methods and know a great deal about their chosen sports, more than your average bookies. The lines from bookies I think have also become much tighter in recent years due to the vast amounts of information that everyone has so it8217s not that often that you will find an angle on a game that hasn8217t been factored into the odds. It8217s also impossible to be completely scientific about betting, as there are so many variables (including luck, believe it or not) that are involved in the outcomes of games. But what we are talking about here is addiction 8211 there is a certain type of person who isn8217t content with playing a system8230.they might think they can, but they always end up failing. They go for a big win when they shouldn8217t, they chase losses, they do everything you8217re not supposed to do. Statistics and systems are rational, addiction is not. If you think you can win on stats and beat the bookies by playing a system, then more power to you. Is it possible Sure8230.there are many people who make a living gambling8230.but it8217s also the exception, not the rule. It8217s a fine line between immersing yourself in the world of gambling and sportsbetting and crossing over into addiction. I would guess that most people don8217t have the willpower to stay on the right side of it. Thanks Julian, I8217m very pleased with your answer. I do know that luck counts in a very strong way, specially in the short term. You might have a dice hitting the same number 15 times in a row or even more, that is why is so important to have a strong income, always consider the chance of losing and bet a very low percentage of your bankroll. I will also make sure to build a team of experts before I jump in. One of the reason I8217m posting here is because I also wants to know the psicological issues involved in the betting world, and you guys can teach me a lot in this regard. The other problems sports bettors have is the huge amounts of scams froms sports handicappers websites, which are responsible for a great deal of the losses that new bettors have(unfortunally most of them kids). Once you learn that most handicappers out there do cheat in some way is too late. They cheat, they take your money, they force you to bet huge amount of money since you are paying a lot for their service and there is nothing you can do about it. There is no protection for the consumers in this regard. And not only that, they sell picks under differentes names so they always win. Many people have problems with alcohol, drugs, food addictionmorbid obesity, depression, suicide, aggresive behavior, rage, smoking addiction. And in the other hand there are guys like Billy Walters with proffesional sports betting 8220addiction8221 flying 22 million dollars airplanes. Sorry but I still think that many of you guys have a problem that is not addiction to gambling but addiction to nonsense gambling. Food is not the cause of obesity, you wont get fat by eating lettuce. I dont want you guys to gamble, is the other way around. I want to say that you are addicted to something that is way different to what you think you are addicted. You see people like Billy Walters and you try to do the same thing that he is doing when you guys are just throwing the money away, what you guys do is like trying to do an open heart surgery after reading a book while a professional surgeon spend 10 years studiying full time to do what they do. If you call it addiction to stupidity and self destructive behavior will probably help you to stop from doing it. I used to think like you Frank 8230 hell I used to be like you too. There was a time when I got started with gambling that I was doing very well. The first year or two I was in college, I was disciplined and focused on handicapping and things were going well. Then I hit a bad streak. A few bad calls by officials here and a few unlucky injuries there 8230 and before you know it, I lost 78 out of 100 wagers. Specializing in mathematics, I knew this kind of run was a possibility but as good as I had been, I never thought it would happen. When your winning, the world is a beautiful place. You become confident in your selections and the results reflect your confidence. But after I started losing, the urge to gamble became worse and worse. The wagers I placed started to become larger and larger and rather than betting two games a night, I bet four, I bet eight. Before I knew it, I was spending 24 hours a day thinking about who I would bet the next night, the next week 8230 who would win the Superbowl in 2012 so I could get a futures bet in. Losing changes everything, and I guarantee you that you will lose big sometimes. Perhaps you8217ll handle it better, but most won8217t. Your thoughts are rational Frank because you sit on the green side of the fence. You reference Billy Walters, a man who admittedly has had losing months, losing years, and continues to gamble on. I8217m willing to bet (isn8217t that ironic) that if he started with those losing years, he would be nothing more than a statistic to throw into the 99 losers category. Consider him an exception to the rule. He8217d be the first to tell you just how lucky he is. Your argument makes it sound like I don8217t understand what8217s going on here. Don8217t you think if I could have stopped, I would have Don8217t you think for a guy that understands numbers and odds so well, I could have figured it out by now Hubris aside, I8217m telling you I will know more about sports than you ever will and I couldn8217t do it. Even today, I could rattle off every starting pitcher for tonight8217s inter league action, every starting lineup one-thru-nine, every arena football match-up, international basketball games, NRL rugby action, Aussie rules games and it doesn8217t mean a damn thing. In the end, one bad call, one dropped ball by a superstar, one FT clanked by the guy that shoots 99 8230 explain to me how you account for that Few people can make this work. Not only can it be addicting, but you start in the hole by 5-10 with every single wager. Unless you have an unlimited bankroll, one bad streak (which is 100 guaranteed going to happen) can throw your mind into a frenzy and you start breaking your own system. The best advice I ever learned was from War Games dude 8230 8220The only winning move is not to play8221 But if you think you can take it on 8230 good luck. You8217re gonna need a whole lot of it. I think that8217s a great response Michael8230.I also don8217t want it to seem like we are being hard on Frank, because he8217s merely asked a question and wants to know what our responses are. I do think the Billy Walters thing is a very bad example. I don8217t know how he started out or whatever but I do know that at this point in time, he can absorb pretty much any sort of loss and not be affected by it. Does he know mroe about sports than any of us who have failed at sports gambling I strongly doubt it8230.he just has a lot of money. When you have that kind of bankroll, you are playing with a different set of rules from everyone else. Also, if you want to talk about discipline and statistics, Walters is probably an especially bad example 8211 he doesn8217t bet a set percentage of his bankroll on all games he plays, which on pure mathematics is a bad way to go. It means that all that matters is hitting the huge bets (as with anyone who doesn8217t bet flat amounts). The one thing that I will say about Walters is that it doesn8217t help that the media glamourises him8230.because at the end of the day, he8217s a gambling addict as well 8211 he8217s just a very rich and successful one. He8217s not a genius, he doesn8217t have any special knowledge about sports that make him especially sucessful. He8217s just an anomaly. Michael is right 8211 losing does change everything. It8217s easy to say that if you lose, you8217ll just stop but the kind of person who is attracted by the prospect of winning 8216free8217 money with this pastime isn8217t content to walk away 8211 partly, because, even when we are losing, we are confident in our knowledge of the games. To me, this is the biggest irony 8211 there are many, many guys (like Michael and me) who know a great deal about sports8230.and yet you could probably ask my sister to randomly pick a winning line for 50 games and she8217d do just as well as I would actually thinking about the games. Frank, you did touch on some of the internet 8216scam8217 touts that sell picks to unsuspecting bettors8230.I think what these guys do is very shady. Even the apparently 8216reputable8217 sites skew numbers and only promote their touts great streak (which I guess they are entitled to do as a business)82308230they promote a culture of responsibility 8211 when a much hyped pick loses, it8217s okay because they assume you8217ve exercised good money management8230..but when a pick wins, their tout is a genius. Personally, I don8217t know why anyone would pay actual money for picks when the information you need to make a pick is all over the internet for free. Michael I do believe you, but by getting into this world of betting I8217m getting a new addiction and erasing old ones. Things that used to hurt me before are meaningless now, it could be a conflict with a cooworker or a someone saying hurtful things, or the fear of losing my job or getting sick, or not been able to spend time with someone I love. Handicapping games give me hope, and force me to keep my mind sharp and focus. You dont have to bet hundreds, by playing just 2 dollars a day you could make millions. I used to play dice when I was a kid, I remember hitting the same number 15 times in a row a couple of times, that in a betting scale would be equivalent to millions and millions of dollars. I could go combining martingale and parlays and even if I lose will never be more that 30 dollars a month. This is not how I want to do it but it is a possibility. And you are wrong when you say that you know a bunch of things about sports betting that are useless. Did you check how much is charging Mr East (sport handicapper) for example this year: 75 doll per day. That is over 27 000 per year with only one person buying his daily picks. With 100 persons would be 2.7 millions. And those picks are sold worldwide. Julian Billy Walters is a loser woking alone, but he has a team of experts helping him and that is a big, big difference. and betting flat is mathematically stupid, if you calculate that a game is going to end 200 and the overunder is set at 190 you have 10 points of edge for you, If in another game again you predict 200 points and the overunder is set at 195 you have only 5 points. In basketball each point means about 14 dolars of juice. So why will you bet straight if you have a 140 doll juice in one and only 75 in the other. Would you bet the same amount in a game of Lebron vs Wade as in a game of Lebron vs Obama if you have the same money line for each player Frank, I8217m not much of a mathematics guy, but I understand what you8217re saying. My response would be that I don8217t think you can really be that accurate about how much edge you have on a particular game just using statistics. Maybe some people can and that8217s fine8230I just think it8217s very difficult in practice. It reminds me of when people talk about using the Kelly Criterion method for betting, which is a formula for determining your optimal bet size, depending on the 8216edge8217 you have over the bookies. I just don8217t know how you can really calculate that edge 8211 to me it8217s kind of meaningless. Flat betting may not maximise your edge, but I still believe it is the best way to try to avoid the rollercoaster ride of gambling, simply because no game you bet on is more important than any other 8211 it8217s just about reaching the 55 or whatever you need to turn a profit. I mean mathematically, as soon as you deviate from flat betting, that required percentage to break even goes up8230.that8217s my understanding anyway. I could be wrong8230.and I8217ve never managed to stick with flat betting anyway for the reasons that Michael has outlined so well And the Lebron-Wade vs Lebron-Obama example isn8217t really useful, because you8217re comparing it to the difference between a game hitting 194 or 200 8211 the outcome of that might be dependent on a couple of plays in the fourth quarter, a fluke three pointer with a second left on the shot clock or whatever8230.whereas we know there is a big difference between the two Lebron scenarios so of course we think we would bet more on one of them. I look at it this way 8211 say you handicapped a basketball game at 200 points and the overunder was 1928230.so you are super confident it will go over the total and you hit it pretty hard. In my experience, you need both teams to shoot pretty well to hit that total, generally speaking8230..but say one of them comes out (a team averging 105 points a game on the year say) and scores 15 points in the first quarter, just playing horribly, and totally out of character with past performance. You8217re not going to hit your total. I8217d rather be able to write that off as just a bad day and not have any 8216extra8217 stake in the outcome, than be wondering what I had done to deserve backing a team on their worst night of the year when I had my biggest play in ages. If you played that game really hard, you would need to hit a higher percentage of winners in the future just to make up for that extra loss. If you had just flat bet, it8217s just one loss and you still need to hit the same percentage as you did previously. Look, I8217m not saying it8217s the best way to do things 8211 certainly it might not make you rich, but it might not make you broke either. Julian, sorry. You need to learn a lot about math, stadistical analisis and trends aplied to sports and money management. One of the best mathematics in USA was working for walters when he made his fortune in sports betting, before that he used to spend half millions of dollars every year in sports betting, his car dealer money would end up lost in bets each year. It is all about math, if you can see the huge difference between 2 points juice and a 4 point juice you are in the wrong field. Frank, that may be the case, I don8217t know. But most people don8217t have mathematical genuises handicapping for them. To be honest I couldn8217t give a damn about Walters8230. I can see the difference in 2 points and 4 points juice of course 8211 I just don8217t believe you can predict sports just based on mathematics. If you have found a way, then good luck to you Julian, sorry I bothered you, i8217m trying to learn, if I was sure that I was in the right path I wouldn8217t be here. It took me over a year to learn what I know now about math applied to sports but it takes a lot of time, and also takes to stop doing many other things that are healthier and and involving less risk. I just wanted to see if some other people with the tools i have had failed too. Betting is also illegal, you would get a misdeamenor for betting in USA outside las Vegas Nevada if you get caught, so in my case it would be a very risky step since i would have to move to Las Vegas. I can8217t do anything illegal. A police record would get me out of my job and would be hard to find another in my field. Hey Frank, no problem 8211 sorry if it came across like I was annoyed or something. Not the case at all. Hello Julian, I was thinking today about the flat betting, and I found that it could be the way to go without going agaist math, but in this case I would have to bet only when I see a chance of winning over 66 , in this case I would be limited to a few bets a month but the chances of going broke will be reduced significantly. And the truth is that finding games with a juice over that are very hard to find. I have seen only 2 in a year with an 90 or more chances of winning. One of them in NCAABB where the over and under was set more than 30 points under my prediction. Frank, I8217ve been reading your comments and it8217s how I used to think as well. Sports betting is gambling and structured in a way that ensures you will lose over the long run, meaning after 100s amp 1000s of bets. To go into it hoping that you are one of the 2 that can win is the delusion that sinks just about every sports bettor who entertains that idea. Even with a complex mathematical model at someone8217s disposal, how are they going to deal with a big loss, or a losing streak I8217ve been following the NBA playoffs and am relieved to have taken no bets. Lakers were swept in 4 games. Thunder blew a 15 point lead. Bulls did something similar. Can any system or strategy overcome these events Experienced handicappers and impulsive types alike were hit with big losses. If you bet on sports you are subject to randomness and combined with the juice it8217s near impossible to come out ahead. I8217m sorry if I come across as bleak, or repetitive, but there8217s too many bright guys who get drawn into this and most of them don8217t look at the long term picture: a downward trending graph with a series of upwards spikes, ending in debt or bankruptcy. I am not a sports bettor, but I am a compulsive gambler. I was a card counter that was banned by most every casino in the United States. I made at least 1000 an hour, and sometimes walked away with 100K in a day. Ive owned fancy cars, fancy houses, everything you could imagine, but I had a gambling problem, and could not quit when the count got bad. I still tried to beat the house, even though I knew the odds were stacked against me. I was up over 2 million dollars from my play, but as of today, Im homeless, and broke because of my addiction. I cannot stress enough that as good as a gambler you are, if you have a gambling addiction, you will never win, its impossible. I can tell you the horrible stories about my life that would make all of you sick to your stomachs, but don8217t want to waste your time with my addiction. To all of the still suffering compulsive gamblers, say the serenity prayer, take a deep breath, find a GA meeting, and work the program. Good luck I have been posting here and the administrator manipulates my coments, cutting and leaving whatever he pleases, which proves what a big loser, closed minded he is. The reason your comments are not being included is because you feel the need to turn this article into your personal forum on gambling, which it is not. This post was written by me to help others understand the pitfalls of gambling and how difficult it can be to overcome the addiction. The last thing I want is for anyone to discuss spreads or strategies. If you have something to contribute to this post, I8217d be happy to include it but you wont find wins and losses here. The best way to help someone addicted to sports betting to stop betting is to prove them that it is impossible to beat the bookies, but you are not doing that, you want people to see your failure as 8220the big thing8221, and I don8217t get it, been a loser don8217t make you a hero. By the way, when I was posting other readers were posting here as well, it was interesting, now this is a dead forum, as dead as your comprehension of the human psicology and freedom of speech. You are a loser full of hate for been a loser who wants to start a revolution vs the sports betting industry that you could not beat. Why dont you start a revolution vs the use of cigarrettes, alcohol, guns, junk food, suicide, Aids-related behavior, all this things can kill. In fact sports betting might help to stay out of all these killers. Why not to teach proper money management instead of been a hater. I would add 10 of my salary every month to my active betting money, before I would added to my belly in beers and Mcdonals. Will I be poor for that. Sure no, Can it make me a millionare. hell yeah. Besides It inspires me to grow profesionally and work harder, making my 10 higher every year. I know that you will delete my post again Michael, but who cares you are the only one reading it lately. I forgot what is your last name Loser. Do you want 10 winner teams in a row I bet I can give you 10 winners before you can give me 4. Really, do you want to help. show how good you are chosing picks, show how smart you are and then people will say 8220this guy is really smartgood and failed, I better quit8221. Now you just have the people thinking another loser fell from the moon. By the way have you been able to save 100 000 again. cause chances are very low to save that amount of money working. Was it your mistake to bet at all or not to invest that money in a bussiness and then use the earning to keep betting Was it stupid to make that money betting or was it stupid not to invest it in something more safe to be able to keep your addiction going forever instead of becoming a losing hater. Only God knows. If you are really angry with my posts you can delete all my posts and I will stop, and I mean all of them. I will keep this post in my computer so if you delete it without deleting the rest it will come back. Truth be told: I dont even bet, I just spend 4 to 5 hours a day trying to become a professional sports bettor, studying, reading books, reading handicappers analysis, thinking. But yes I can see the juice now and then, but my sample og games with a winning percentage is still under 200 games. Why I dont bet: Is illegal, except in Las Vegas and I live far from La Vegas right now, besides i8217m not a pro yet. Is it worth to follow my dream I was hoping to find the answer here but I didn8217t. This forum is too shallow. I need math to prove me wrong. I would never go to a casino with the edge on the house but can I have the edge by my side on sports does any one here learned statistics, handicapping, money management professionally, worked with a team and still failed Hello, I8217m Frank. I just want to say that the 8220gambling8221 issue has been affecting my marriage, my work and my studies, and I8217m not even betting yet. I8217m still married and working, and passing all my exams but I8217m having a poor performance in all these areas. I check the stats at work every now and then and I go to sleep at 3 am studying and learning about sports gambling. I8217m starting to understand this forum now. The worst thing is that I can help but to keep doing it. I just want to give you my apologies for my previous posts. God bless you all. You still don8217t get it. Proper money management, as you call it, only means you lose your money more slowly. The game is very simple, I8217ll explain it again: sports gamblers are like someone who risks 1 dollar on coin tosses but when he wins he gets 1.90( his 1 90 cents) instead of 2.00, which is even money. That 10 percent cut by the house guarantees he cannot win in the long run amp if he keeps going will lose everything. There8217s nothing wrong with wanting to succeed at something, but sports betting is a dead end. You8217ll discover that if you ever start putting real money on the line, which I sincerely hope you never do. By sheer randomness, a handicapper can string together a successful season or two, but eventually that same randomness the structure of the sports betting business will take him out. Being able to pick winners amp make money betting on sports are two separate things. A guy can hit 10 winners in a row, but when a streak of 10 losses comes along, which is guaranteed to happen, it has nothing to do with his skill or intelligence. He8217ll think he needs to work harder or revise his system, his ego will fail to see the obvious amp the end result will be financially disastrous. It8217s not so much about money, it8217s the sad waste of life staring at stats amp watching games, isolating yourself, that8217s the real tragedy of sports gambling. I8217m Frank and I want to thanks Tony for his post. I still dont know about the money. But the isolation I already feel it, that is why I keep coming to this forum I think. But Tony you could also bet on the plus line line 130 or 200, and that makes no difference. The thing is that I keep winning my predictions and some of my close friends and my wife keep telling me to go for it as they see my results. But I still think that could be just luck. I find a good pick after analysing over 30 games so my sample is still very small. I also check the best handicappers analysis the next day when you can get them for free and most of the time when they lose their picks my system tells me that was a bad pick and when they win my system tell me that was a good one most of the time. I do know that the guys making the lines are professionals and that they work in teams. I do not expect to beat this guys. But I8217ve read that they makes the line not by the possible outcome of the game but by the money bet in each side. I dont know if it is true or not. Sorry guys I8217m just trying to learn. I have read that 95 of the small bussiness openning nowdays fail. So I dont have many choices if I want to invest some money. The only thing worthy today is getting some degrees and I8217m on that already. Hi Frank, I8217ve been reading your posts. If you really think you can find value in your picks, getting a winning percent of over 55 just let me know your email or phone number and I will contact you. I have plenty of capital and I wouldn8217t mind to offer you a good deal. You can sell me your picks or take a of the earning. I have the yearly subscription of the best 3 handicappers out there but it hasn8217t been enough. I just need some one to filter this picks to reach a higher winning percent. I hope to know from you soon. Great story Michael. Michael I think that my son is having a gambling problem and a friend told me to try to get my son to switch to stock market or forex trading. Do you think that this approach could help Because the truth is I don8217t see much of a difference between the three since most people I know doing stock market and forex trading have lost every thing they had as well. Please some help here. Gilbert I don8217t think that this approach will help your son at all. It8217s not about what you do but how good you are doing it. And even more important what you enjoy doing. If you really think that your son will lose money why don8217t you become his bookie and get all his bets. If you are not sure if he is going to lose just leave him along. As long as he bet his money and not other peoples money, is just money who cares You will win 1 of every 3 bets8230 I8217ve lost 30,000 this year and have nothing to show for it. You win and you bet8230 You lose and you bet. The only way to win is to win big and loose small. This too is impossible. Just watch Casino again (Movie). Explains everything. I think compulsive behavior is not and addiction but an ilness. If your reading this tell your loved ones and stay away from daily gambling. F8230. how can you win 1 of every 3. this is so funny. Lines are made in a way that you will win 1 and lose 1 even if you bet blindly. If you really have that stats you could bet a parlay against your own bets and would end up been rich. Alex 98 of bettors lose money and the 2 making money do that in a full time basis and have many years of experience. And frequently they lose their capital after many years of winning in a regular basis. So stop pushing others to bet. This is the worst forum ever. The whole page should be deleted. Nothing to learn here. What story is this betting 11 thousand dollars per bet with less than 100 grands I would keep that stupidity as a secret. Michael had done itself millionaire probably if had learned of its errors and had followed wagering. If he could make almost 100 grands by the time he was learning, after 10 years he would be the man. This isn8217t a forum on how to gamble. Michael8217s story is a painfully honest and valuable insight into the turmoil of a sports betting addict8217s life. The consequences are always the same: disastrous. They way it8217s structured makes it impossible to come out ahead. Keep in mind that if you8217re risking 100, you win less than even money on a typical -110 line bet on NFLNBA etc. So your payout is 190, which is your original 100 a profit of 90. If your bet loses you now have to risk 110 to win back that original 100. House edge randomness will bankrupt you over time. House edge. What do you mean by house edge. You can bet 110 to win 100 (-110) but you also can bet 100 to win 2000 (2000). So please dont use this non-sense excuse. randomness Is it a excuse. Yes, you might be eaten by a shark or get killed in a traffic accident. Will that keep you ous of the beach and away from the road. Betting is disastrous mainly if you are addicted to non-sense betting Betting on sports is disastrous for just about everyone who gets caught up in it. You can ridicule me all you like, but if you can8217t see 1) the impact of randomness on the outcome of sporting events(fumbles, injuries, bad calls, etc) and 2) the way that sports betting is structured to ensure you can8217t win in the long run, then I hope you bet small and for recreation only. How can you say one bet is more common sense than another when it8217s impossible to predict the outcome, and on top of that, bookies are the ones who set the lines amp the odds Going back to Michael8217s story, here8217s a bright guy who devoted himself and still came up against the brick wall. I8217m not discounting personality traits that contributed to his problem, just laying out the fact that it8217s impossible to come out ahead in the first place. Sorry John T, you might be right. At least you are 98 right. I just hope to be in the other 2. Any way the of rich people in america is 1 and most of them inherited the money or had some kind of help. So you may say that less than 0.5 of the americans are self-made millionaires and if a 2 of gamblers makes money is enough for me. Good luck Erick. Sorry for being harsh, just want to discourage everyone from getting involved in sports betting. My story is shameful. I was addicted for almost 2 years. First I felt like I had a gift as the winners kept coming in NBA amp MLB. My life became hell when the losses started hitting and I chased winners to 8220get my money back.8221 I was up 20k but couldn8217t stop until it was all gone. In the end I didn8217t lose any of my own money but that8217s no consolation. I almost dropped out of college and couldn8217t concentrate due to the stress, exhaustion and despair from betting 247. Thanks to coming across Michael8217s site I began counselling. Managed to pull myself together, graduate and rebuild my friendships amp socialise again. I feel very fortunate to have survived this and hope anyone reading this finds hope. Hi, I8217m erick, richard, jen, john and almost all the posters here posting to troll Michael blog. I8217m myself a victim of a gambling falacy. I hope that all my previous post will be deleted and that Michael story remain as a support for people like me. I did this to get Michael to prove me I was wrong. But he just banned me and I kept coming with a different ID. I havent lost too much money but I have lost at least 2 years learning how difficult is to win in sports betting. I8217m not done yet but I will stop till I succeed in other fields. I8217m just too greedy to quit to the idea of been rich. And working is not an option to be rich. It can be done professionally. just not everyone can8230 You have to have a true love for the games for me it8217s football and basketball 8230also you have to dedicate hours a day to updating it knowledge wether it be reading forums or watching films..the third and final factor that decides if you can be successful in the long run is discipline which our writer lacks and why he ultimately failed. The following sentence SHOULD enlighten you: Just look around Las Vegas, all you see is casinos. Do you think these casinos are spending 50k a night just on electricity just so people can have 8220fun8221. If you cannot gamble for fun, then you need to do everything you can to stay away from it. Some tips are attending GA meetings and even filing for self exclusion for the state you live in. Just think of what you could have bought for yourself with the money you lost, not even counting the winnings lost. Gambling truly is a vicious cycle that will ruin your life for many people. I think the number of gamblers that are addicted is greatly underestimated. The most important thing to remember that I think applies to the writer of this article is that you may think you have gotten past your gambling addiction, but it can come roaring back in an instant if you don8217t keep it in check. Like I was saying earlier, that means attending daily GA meetings and or self exclusion. An addiction just doesn8217t go away, you MUST constantly keep yourself aware of it. The house might be beatable on a very short term basis, but you will lose in the long run. That8217s one bet you can put everything on The following sentence SHOULD enlighten you: Just look around Las Vegas, all you see is casinos.

Time effort put in win big poker could be better spent on a job8230 I have to have won a decent amount of money 10k in 1 week, but over the course of a few months have lost it all, and then some of my own money. Overall end up losing alot more than gaining anything in the long run, and house will almost certainly win. Only way of winning is if one has a massive bank roll, bet big, win big and then move onto to low stakes or stop. That is the only real way of winning in gambling. But luckly i have the will power to overcome this evil i think 8211 the feeling of losing hard earned money just hurts to much which i think is the main motivator to stop and fill your time with other activities. My evil been live online blackjack. After losing had some decent size wins, of say 2k, but end up losing all that in one day as the lure of winning more or chasing losses is to much to just withdraw the cash and stop. Hi, addiction is addiction no matter how you look at it. I always thought because i didn8217t smoke or drink or could go without sex i wasn8217t addicted to anything. But low and behold i met my husband three years back and started going to the casinos with him. At first i didn8217t gamble i would just sit and watch him. Then after he8217d lose his money he8217d ask to borrow money from me. Eventually i got tired of him losing both our money and decided to start gambling myself. It got to the point where my lights was getting cut off. I8217m now in a bankruptcy and can barely feed my two kids, I thought that by putting my husband out it would make my gambling go away, But now i8217m just lonely and broke. He8217s no better either. He still calls me for gas money which i can8217t afford to give him. Got ten months left on the bankruptcy and will be glad when it8217s up. I still gamble but not as bad as i used to. Need to turn things around for me and my kids. One day at a time is all i can say. Know god has something better for me once i release this gambling for good. Starting next month i promise to start settinng small goals to break the addiction and reward myself and kids for doing so. Right now i play the free online slots games. Running my internet and phone bill up but its better than losing large sums of money. Sorrry to say i didn8217t keep up with my amount of losses but i8217d estimate it to be around 5,000. I8217ve done sports, casino, and poker. I8217ve won lots of money, but I8217ve lost more. The reason I could not walk away. I love gambling. It8217s in my blood. Even before I approach a table I always tell myself to walk away when I8217m ahead. I8217ve had some success with that only to return the next day to lose it all and then some. I8217ve tried countless times to train myself in hopes that my will power will be strong enough for me to walk away. It has never worked. I never became stronger. Im still as weak as i was on the first bet i ever made. I8217ve won maybe 3000 but I8217ve lost 9000. I will tell you now, losing is the second worst part of gambling. The worst part is winning. Even though I had a decent sports system, practiced blackjack strategy and above average poker skills, in the end, I8217d end up the loser anyway. The last bet I made was 250 blackjack. I was up 2500 but I lost it all the next day. I couldn8217t walk away. I learned that it wasn8217t about the money at all. It was about my will power to fight the urges, and gambling urges are strong. I could win a million dollars and I would bet 100 times that much that I8217d lose it all the same way I won it. Maybe there8217s someone out there that has the will power to fight the urge, to fight the addiction. In which case, they8217d be the true winners. It doesn8217t matter how good or lucky you are if you can8217t walk away. I have a decent job where I can cover my losses in less than a year and intend save up as much money as I can. Id like to think that I8217m a lucky one, realizing that I can8217t walk away sooner than later. I8217ve come up with some gambling policies for myself, and it might help some people. 2) protect your money at all costs. Woops, I clicked enter. 1) if you can8217t walk away, stay away 2) protect your money at all costs 3) you will lose. If you win, you will lose harder 4) the joy of winning is outweighed by the agony of defeat. Winning 50,000 cannot be compared to losing everything you have. I have one more bet. It8217s a futures bet so I made it before I decided I was weak. It8217s 100 on my favorite team (I dare not say who due to shame. They8217re pretty bad) to wiN the championship 50:1 odds). No strategy. No plan. Just Luck. I want them to win bet or no bet but the bet I thought would make it more fun. This kind of bet, I8217m not trying to win. I8217m trying to have fun and I think when you go beyond trying to have fun and try to start making money, that8217s where thingS go bad. Thanks for the story. I8217m currently riding the end of a two month hot streak and I want to quit ahead but the urge to continue gambling is really great. I hit a cold streak and I8217ve given back about 6000. but still remain up 10k over the last two months. It8217s hard to have perspective sometimes and since I8217m alone, it8217s really hard to find other things to keep my mind busy. I8217m self employed as well, so while I have a relatively stable income, my average bet was about a weeks pay. I8217m not in debt and I have a 100k of liquid cash savings8212but as much as I want to believe I can make money gambling sports8212I can8217t prevent going on tilt and I think that I8217m more addicted to the chase than to actual winning. Going 5-0 on my normal wager of 200 isn8217t the same thrill as winning that one 2000 bet that8217s an all-or-nothing chase. Any advice on how to get my mind in the right frame would be awesome. Thank you for sharing your story. It really helped me today when I felt alone with my gambling woes and feeling of the impossibility of quitting. Like you, I started at 16 when I convinced my father to put 200 in an online account so I could make some 8220sure thing8221 nba playoff bets. I haven8217t really stopped since, and every game I see on tv pulls me toward betting again. Now, with live betting at every commercial break, it8217s especially hard to stay out. I agree that shifting my focus to other hobbiesinterests is the way out. You8217ve inspired me to try. Leave a Reply Get our free weekly newsletter packed with Copyright copy 2017 Doughroller. net.

Sell on eBay 8211 Last week I challenged myself to put 250 of stuff on eBay to help defray the cost of a new computer. It only took me two hours and I8217ll never miss the espresso machine, Montblanc pen, old blackberry and digital watch that I put up. Constantly amazes me the amount of crap we accumulate and never use. Hit up a subdivision to paint house numbers on the curb in front of the house. I8217m not sure how feasible it is for you but, a gentleman got 15 from me for maybe 10 minutes8217 work. It only takes seven jobs like that to crack 100. Sure-fire is relative anyway. My idea would be to flip garage sale items. You can find some great deals on stuff you know is worth more then sell it for a marked up price on Craigslist or eBay. Here8217s are a couple I thought of that perhaps would be helpful: Do you have old gift cards that you8217ve received for birthdays and Christmas for shops you never frequent sitting around Sell them to online gift card resellers. You can get up to 90 cash back for some gift cards. But hey, just about anything is profit for something that8217s not being used anyway I8217m loyal to one airline8230.the cheapest one So I often have air miles on random airlines that will never add up to much. Instead of letting them expire, exchange them for cash with a pointsmiles exchange program. My husband and I raked in several hundred dollars trading in our miles. From Saving The Crumbs Through Facebook Yardsale groups. If you find a group in your local area and have the right type of stuff to sale. Most FB sale groups are looking for discounts, though, so you may need to make 4-5 separate sales to reach 100. Some items I8217ve sold (not all in one day, but it may be possible) : Vending machine 8211 60. Double Stroller 8211 50, Lot of toddler clothes 8211 30, Diaper bag 8211 10 and Leftover party decor 8211 10 Items that sell wellquickly : Baby items, Furniture (small), Tools, Video games (current) and electronics and Small appliances If I needed to make 100 today, I would probably resort to day-trading as I trade Forex and often have 100 days without taking much risk because I have a high balance so my leverage is low. But if I had zero cash and needed 100, I would do a yard sale and try to sell 100 items at 1. Or, fill a cooler and sell water bottles and sodas outside a sports event or a concert. I also used to teach music and French, which has a great hourly rate (min 25) and it is pretty easy to get new students. Keeping them is harder, as people lose motivation along the way but even the less motivated usually stick around for a couple of months and do one or two hours a week. Now a few methods which I adopted to earn some quick bucks 1. I opened put up a lemonade stall in our community garage sale. The total cost of items was 10 and a total sale amount was 98 in 3 hours . I admit you can make much more money in three hours. But, when you have time and don8217t know what to do, this may come in handy. 2. I scouted local garage sales for two weekend days and sold the items I purchased there on Craigslist. I made more than 100 profit . This experience was documented in my post 5 Sacrifices To Get a Goody For Free 3. One of my neighbors sports a real estate builder8217s ad on their car. They make 20 per day out of it. Their car doesn8217t look ugly and most people think he works for the builder. You can check out Ad in motion if you8217re willing to try the same. 4. My wife, SMB, recently bought a pendant made out of salad spoon from Etsy. This is a cool place to sell your crafts. Whatever it is that you can make and is eye catching. Try to sell it over there. You can make big money out of it. 5. My wife answered a few surveys through Opinion Outpost and survey Junky . though she got fed up quite soon but, she earned more than 50 in a day. 6. We don8217t have kids so, we babysit our friend8217s kids when they decide to go clubbing. We do not charge a single penny but, the hourly rate in our area is 15. Had we charged we could have made 1008217s of dollars by now. 7. My previous neighbor, sold 0.15 waterbottles (from Costco) at 2, at a local park. Due to weekend rush, he sold more than 200 bottles within just a couple of hours. 8. But everything fails in comparison to the website earning. Sometimes I place a banner for just 1 day, over at side bar, and I get 100 paid to me by the advertisers. As I said already, open a blog and start writing, money will flow .

Dhruv Bhagat says If you want to make real 8220Smart Passive Income8221, then you need to get your hands on Affiliate Marketing.. If you are good in explaining things, you need to review some products. Reviewing a product is difficult for those who haven8217t used the product.. For this you can ask the author for a review copy.. After writing a detailed review, all you need to build quality links to that url, create web 2.0 directories links, do aggressive blog commenting, go for PPC ads and BANG. You will soon get desired visits for that particular keyword Clarisa steve says Hello i am Clarisa Steve from Florida USA, when i was in need of a loan of 230,000 to transit a business my friend introduced Mark Oscar loan firm to me because she got a loan from them sometime ago, so I was so scared because of the scams in the internet but my friend encouraged me to give them a try and i gave them a try and i got my loan within 4hrs and their ways was very easy no credit check, no cosigner, no collateral and their interest rate is just 2, so i will advice anyone out there that need a loan to contact them via their Email:(email160protected ). Steve Clarisa says I don8217t mean to be rude but 8220selling things on craigslist8221 shouldn8217t be on the list, I mean that8217s like saying to get rich you can just sell all the expensive stuff you have laying around from being rich already. Maybe steal a bunch of bbq8217s and sell them on craigslist might apply. Also I don8217t see how 8220my cousin has a job8221 is a vaild way to make 100 really quick in a day8230 I have a job too, is that some secret trick, getting a job a good way to make 100 a day is selling plasma and sperm for girls eggs can get you several 1000. or just find some people that look like they have money and scam them.

Selling plasma and sperm is very viable options, thanks for mentioning those. Lots of ways to make money online. My biggest advice is to build an asset or list8230. Thank you for the good content. john morrish says well..all these sites given above are very good8230but my actual desire is to earn simply not money, i want to have passive income. but most of the above listed things do not give the opportunity to earn passive money as well takes a lot of time and hard work. If one works then he unarguably will earn money. Like i am a student of engineering and in sooner i8217ll become engineer and i will start to money, but in that case i will have to work. So i want to set me up for something that will eventually earn me money while i am not working. In my opinion there are two businesses that can be taken into consideration for this kind of work (well, there are others too, but i found these more enjoyable and more knowledgeable) first is, u can join a network marketing company and the second one is by creating a blog and sharing and posting whatever we want on that blog. you can find a good information on how to start for a blog here I did not read the entire blog because I can not believe that someone with a site like this can not even use words properly. It8217s SELL your space, SELL your unwanted items8230 so forth8230 not SALE your space8230 ugh. Excellent article. it helped me a lot, thank you very much for sharing, I8217ll tell you my experience on how to make money online as an affiliate and as creator of information products, check out my story at: pcmoneyx. blogspot Another great way to make money online is to take paid surveys. There are a lot of companies that pay you to share your opinion. You simply answer questions about their products and services, and they pay you. A lot of people think that all paid surveys are scams. Actually that is not right. If you want to find quality and legitimate survey sites and start making money today, follow my tips.1)Join ONLY legitimate and free survey sites. You can find them on Google, but DON8217T type broad keywords like 8220surveys8221, or 8220paid surveys8221.Instead, try something more specific, like 8220paid surveys with free registration8221 or 8220how to find legitimate surveys for money8221.That way you will find better results.2)NEVER share your credit card information or your SSN.3)Try to find mor e information about the survey companies you plan to join by typing 8220YourSurveyCompanyName8221 scams, forums, review. That way you will find more information about every site, you are interested in.4)Join several free survey companies. That way you will make more money. Hope that helps.

Cos i believe if conected we can have better legitimate ways of toping standards of living and rebuilding relationships between us again Everybody I have talked to that has start using the Internet eventually asks the question: How can I make money online And for most people, they never learn what they need to do in order to make a couple hundred to thousands of dollars online. Everybody wants to make money online, but very few people know where to start. For most people it comes down to having to learn advanced skills that they never have time to master, resulting in the feeling of helplessness about making money online. Luckily for me, I found an easy way around that about a year ago. Instead of trying to learn crazy web languages or graphic design, I started search for nontechnical ways to make money online. This led me to taking paid surveys online. One of the great things about the Internet is that it can connect people and companies almost instantly, and companies have found out about it. Companies have found that they can receive almost instant feedback about their products, services, or ad campaigns through the Internet. This is called market research, and before it used to take companies hundreds of thousands of dollars and many months to find average and sometimes outdated data. Now, companies have a direct and almost instant link to people that use their products, and will pay people to help them speed up their market research. When I found out about it, I was a little skeptical, but I decided to try my hand at it anyway. What I found was that I could make decent money just by filling out online surveys for an hour or so, everyday. It was surprisingly easy since I could do them while chatting on Facebook or after my kids went to bed, so I figured I would give it a month and see how much I could earn. At the end of the month, I was so excited when my first check came in the mail for 638.28 After a few months, I built up a reputation so that survey companies would give me even higher paying surveys, giving me even more money. Overall it has been a very smart choice that fits into my lifestyle, and hasnt required me to learn anything advanced computer skills. If you are trying to make some extra money, give online surveys a try. So how does it work 1. Find a website that has a large survey database. I have tried a few, but personally, I like Surveys At Home because they have prescreened the survey websites to find the ones that pay the best. 2. Sign up with a few sites, 3-5 to start then add more to receive more surveys 3. Start taking surveys, simply fill out accurate information. They usually take 10-20 minutes per survey. 4. Cash out and receive your payment either with PayPal or by mail. Best or all, you dont need to spend any money, there is no risk or scams, and the sites are free to join. If you are looking to earn some extra income, surveys seem to be one of the best ways to go.

Karen Bassimer says Roy, You mention one name of a survey site and then you say to sign up for 3-5 others, but you do not say what others to sign up for. I am very interested in doing this8212especially when you mention that you earned over 600 in a month8217s time by doing surveys an hour a day. I can spend an hour a day doing surveys, but please help walk me through how to do this (specifics please)8212thanks. Quick money also require work and effort.
