I once again got back all of my recent losses and am actually extremely close to the highest point in a long time. I was already up all time even BEFORE getting recent losses back. But the reasons I even consider it a problem are 1. I was way MORE ahead lifetime at one point long ago, so I know firsthand how horrible it feels to give a ton back. 2. The last 3 nfl betting days I ALMOST lost a LOT each day just to gain low amounts. They did work out, but it's only a matter of time until i will have bad luck cause a loss that would wipe out a lot.
Anyway, so I am TRYING to be one who can quit on a win, but most here say it's nearly impossible to quit on a win.
I MAY bet a small one on the super bowl and then be done or I may skip it. I would like to thnik I could bet one small one, but tonight I also thought at worst I'd risk a couple hundred and it turned into thousands because I kept switching from 1 team to the other and then chasing with the original again.
What's annoying is some people will remind me that I lost a lot in the past, which makes me think I need to win it back to be a success. But I know myself that it is a success to stop now and still be ahead too…
I really need to find some money-less hobbies I think… lol.

Ban yourself, find something else to do. Literally just dont place the bet, if you need to rinse everything in order to stop then do that. Mostly I recommend you give every single penny to a relative or family you trust and only take out what you need.
You need to realize this is make it or break it for you. There’s a high probability you will lose all of these wins in the next 3-6 months.
My honest recommendation would be make all your money inaccessible and head to a GA meeting. It’s your safest bet ensuring you won’t lose anything
Dont quit on a win. QUIT NOW.
When I read this story, I don’t read that you’re even close to being ready to quit. I read someone bragging about “being able to come back”. These don’t seem like the words of someone serious about addiction.
Stop while you’re up brother check out that link I sent you Go invest some of your money that you won tonight lock it up for about a week You can do it
I remember not long ago at all I was where you are. It all slipped away so fast. The number that you want to get to..you’re describing the feeling of chasing.
I really hope you can realize to quit while you’re ahead and self ban, I’d do anything to have done that. It sounds to me though like you’re almost hoping for reassurance, or this is just a way to reconcile with yourself since we are all strangers. Good luck to you, do the right thing, deep down you know what that is.
