First off I have been to GA for about 11 years and it has not helped me and I can stop for awhile but it never goes away I don't have the will power. The VA put me in an inpatient program and I was on several medications as well to no avail. Guys its just a very sick part of me because honestly I am a math wizard and anything with numerals can be beat, I feel this way.
Secondly I agree with one post the most bet the opposite way as everyone else, that's my next step.
And lastly I did not post names out of respect but I will do it. Please keep in mind I played every single play they posted since November 9th in NCAAB NCAAF NFL and NBA.
That's my guys and over the years I thought they were the best I also like ..........but don't see him much now.
First off, I feel for ya buddy, I really do!!
Gambling is a bug, it eats and eats until there nothing left to eat!! It destroys relationships of all kinds, even in this forum, trust me when I say this.
But as far as tailing anyone from this forum, I don't tail anyone, the reason is, some cappers get hot, then they get cocky, then they have a turn for the worse, they lose focus, and some can't find the sunshine if it was blown up their rear ends!! If I couldn't cap my own games which takes a day of preparation, sometimes even longer for football season, I wouldn't cap at all. Since 1981 when I first started to handicap any sport, I only played 1 or 2 games in a month in any sport, plus I was in college and what I would gamble on I knew straight up who was going to win, my first best was West Virginia getting 14 pts from Oklahoma, Barry Sweatshirt was coaching the Boomer Schooners and the QB was a former NY Giant QB, Hostetler who transfered from Penn St. I bet my college tuition at the time, $1100 to win $6500 money line bet on that game and side, and it paid my tuition for my first 3 years of college on that single bet. But my gut told me two weeks leading up to that game that WV was going to shock the Sooners and they did! From that point forward however, I only capped football on Straight Up winners vs the spread I was given. In order to be a good handicapper you need to know the sport, you need to know that the trends can be your friends, you also need to know today, it's much more computer driven formulas that some cappers like "RAS" uses as well as some of the folks that have their own "Beat the spread" tv shows.
I wouldn't pay for a service when I already pay for the internet and can get service picks for free from those forums that post the cappers, I know the cappers that are consistent and when they are hot and when they go cold, the folks you mentioned are just like any capper, including myself, we get hot and we get cold, it's a roller coaster ride, the key to gambling if you want to use it investment wise, is to know your money management,
how MUCH CAN YOU AFFORD TO LOSE? Never bet more than you can afford, don't get a 2nd mortgage or borrow from your kids' piggy bank or take out your 401K! I set aside $10,000 for baseball, football, basketball and hockey, each year, have done this since 2009 since I increased my annual earnings and my job earned me additional income. I played per unit from 1 unit to 5 units, with 10 units on a game I was just going to hammer because I felt 100% it was going to win, unless the COZMOS pissed on my parade so to speak!! I don't change the amounts I wager and I stay consistent on what I can afford knowing that for 100 games your wager on, you need to win 53 of those 100 wagers, 47 losers at laying 11 to win 10 to come out ahead. Using a money management system helped me until I got divorced in 2001 when my ex wife threw all of my belongings in the trash that I saved for years, including a million dollar sports memorabilia collection I had. If I wasn't such a nice guy, I would have sued her for her 401K after 19 years of marriage! My good capping information that helped me put away a huge chunk of retirement change was trashed, so was my computer that I had a safisticated formula for picking spreads to the Vegas number when the numbers came out a week or two in advance for NFL and on Sunday night when the college numbers were put out, it also predicted MLB baseball scores, but that's all a moot point now and from writing things down and going back to how I capped before my divorce basically I reformulated and it's helped me since coming back to this forum a lil over a year ago. In a sport I may have lost money on, I got ahead of in another sport and visa versa, so being consistent and knowing how much you can afford to lose is what you have to know, I do this recreationally, some do it professionally, and some do it by flipping a coin or two or seeing what the public is all over on, then they fade them which doesn't work very well in my honest opinion.
Read up on Billy Walters or Mike Lee, Billy is banned from going into casino's in Vegas, he used to be a bookie because he knew who the public was going to pounce on week after week and he'd rake it in on his squares, Mike Lee was a sports reporter and he was always good at picking any sport, except for soccer cuz he hated to see men in shorts kick a fokken ball around side to side and seeing 1 or 2 goals in a game or draws, he just got disgusted with it.
As Hedgehog said, if you can't control it and you've been to GA and still go there, get some help my friend and I'm not trying to patronize you, because I've been in your shoes before in 1993 or 1994 when I went to one of them "FREE" phone service gimmicks and got a weekend of plays then the service expected me to pay them even more after I won, which I told them to go fork themselves and got the IRS and FBI involved, a long and complicated story.
But again, don't tail anyone, just cap your own stuff or don't gamble at all if you can't pick your own games - because any knuckle head in this forum including myself, ain't no better than the guy on the corner selling picks, but the good thing in this forum, those of us who do post and cap on our own are "FREE"!!
Good luck my man and hope I gave any lil bit of help that I could!!
Happy Holidays to you!!
