I hope that everyone who reads this has better luck than me and I wish you all a happy New Year. I am done.

Your story is a powerful reminder of the ups and downs of the gambling world and the crucial importance of money management and self-control. Beginner’s luck is a common experience, often followed by significant losses when your luck changes, and unfortunately it is easy to get caught up in the euphoria of early wins without realizing that the reality of gambling is that losses are just as real as winnings.

Chasing losses, especially on parlays, is a trap that many gamblers face and the idea of winning it all back with one big bet can be tempting but more often than not it only leads to more debt and only increases frustration.

I am grateful that you recognized this pattern and decided to stop... Your decision to not check your account and to walk away from gambling is a wise and courageous choice. It is a lesson and a warning to all that gambling should be treated as a form of entertainment and always with a reasonable budget, never as a solution to financial problems.

We hope that your story serves as a lesson for other gamblers, emphasizing the importance of responsibility and risk management.

I wish you strength and a smoother journey ahead, with a Christmas of renewal in the way you play (or don't play anymore) and a New Year of hope and with goals in new horizons.

Everything does have its ups and downs on which its not really just that limited on gambling/betting but also in investing and other things in life on which there's really that up's and downs on which not everyday will really be a profitable moment or something in good situation on which it is really that always have the other side on which simply means that you do need up to adjust accordingly. You cant really just that expect that positive that will only happen and not really expecting those negatives too. This will really be just that bring out that huge disappointment at the moment that you've been anticipating or expecting too much. Sports betting isnt bad specially if its really just that for the fun and entertainment, it is really just that when everything becomes excessive then this is where problems do arises and we do only notice it out on the time or moment that we experience hardship and regrets do really happens in the end but actually we can be able to stop it midway if we are really that mindful or aware into the things that we do deal up and aware into the potential things that could happen and stop accordingly if you do see that there's that negative effect. It is really that sad to see up some people do really mess up their lives because of betting or gambling but eventually if they do able to realize and trying to recover on the situation that they are on. We cant be perfect and we can commit out some mistakes yet we cant be perfect so its a normal approach on this aspect.
