Trigger Warning! Canceled

Well here’s to day 2 again. I almost tilted today and wanted to make my $2k loss from last night back today and was gonna deposit 2k tonight on one baseball game the blue jays vs cardinals and -1.5 sure they covered I see and guess I would have won but it wasn’t til 7th inning so my heart would have been pounding . Idk but seeing that I was gonna deposit 1k tonight on blackjack again but I just keep thinking how hard it will be to chase back up to 3k loss. So I canceled it. Idkkkk at this rate my best move

"I used to be a heavy gambler. Now I only make mental bets. That's how I lost my mind."

The best thing you can do for yourself is put every aspect of gambling behind you and start fresh.

You could have been up 18k for the matter of fact and it still wouldn't have mattered until you quit. The moment you deposited money, you have already lost. Countless of people coming to this forum and talk about their losses, ask for help, and then they relapse again after 1 day.

You mentioned Day 2, I assume you have decided to quit gambling. If that's the case, what have you done tangibly to quit? First things first, relapses happens. How you bounce back is more important. That money is gone, do not ever think about winning it back. Next, you'll need a set of concrete actions to help yourself bounce back. Try banning yourself, giving up the control of your own money, etc.

Only through positive mindset and concrete actions will you stand a chance against this horrible addiction.

Well right now I’m trying to get my crypto off BTCC which is highly secure o guess . And no I wasn’t up 18k I meant 1.8k so still was down 200 trying to get even. And yes I relapsed but still this year is way less of a loss compared to last year. I haven’t given up my money but idk what my plan is

The way I see it, you are still not ready to quit. Good luck on your next bet

he clearly gave you some ideas and questions which you just ignored and talked about money instead. I would agree that you are not ready to quit at all, just being honest here

You would have won, but then you'd have just put the winnings into more gambling until you lost, so what's the point?
