I started betting on Stake in 2021, and I experienced what is called "beginners luck". I won some substantial money, but convinced myself I was an expert and could never lose...until I did.
Fast forward nearly 4 years and all I have to show for it is $100,000 in losses, $100,000 I could have used to buy gifts for loved ones, $100,000 I could have used to pay off student loans, and oh by the way, they are going to close my account if I don't verify soon. I was just scrolling through some of my betslips from the last few months, and I found this parlay I almost won. 6/7 of my predictions won, and it would have been close to $134,000 in winnings. That would have been my total net losses + my debts paid off!

I'm simply tired of this. I will not be verifying the account because I've decided that I will not be betting anymore. I've put myself in a difficult situation and I have many restless nights and nightmares because of this. I don't think I'm a bad sports bettor, in fact many of my predictions win, but I am addicted to parlays and I have been chasing my losses for too long. The pressure was just too much for me.
I hope that everyone who reads this has better luck than me and I wish you all a happy New Year. I am done.
If you don't want to gamble anymore and are planning to quit gambling, then I think you have made the right decision. Gambling should never be thought of as a way to make money. Gambling should only be taken for entertainment. The more you think about making money from gambling, the more you will become addicted to gambling and lose money.Fast forward nearly 4 years and all I have to show for it is $100,000 in losses, $100,000 I could have used to buy gifts for loved ones, $100,000 I could have used to pay off student loans, and oh by the way, they are going to close my account if I don't verify soon.

I only gamble for fun, I never gamble with a lot of money to make money. From your statement, I understand that you gamble with a lot of money and have lost a lot of money. However, I want to tell you that from now on, if you want to gamble, you must participate with a very small amount of money because I know that you will not be able to quit gambling as easily as you want to. Welcome to the upcoming New Year in advance. I hope your life will be very beautiful in the new year.
