Thanks for the feedback, very good advice. I will chip away and grind it like you said, I just need 1 more bet. My luck has been so bad, I just want to win 2 in a row and I will really try to manage my money and bet smaller single units for the whole season. I really can be under control, I keep learning from these mistakes and taking in advice you guys have to offer.

One thing that has helped me turn things around is to start playing small, it is hard to do when you are out big because you would like to take chunks back.
Start with 10 or 20, once you start hitting increase your bet small so that if you loose then you still have reserve and begin the process again. I was able to turn 20 dollars into 1000 in a week. Now that was more luck thatn skill but I have managed to do that a number of times.
The other way to go if you have to make plays is to play free contests that give you sportsbook accounts. The one key to winning these is to stay in for the season no matter what, most people will drop out if they hit a loosing streak because they become disgusted which then decreases your pool of competitors. At least it gives you the same feel as if you are gambling and if you win then you get to play with someone else's money. If you end up losing the free cash no big deal, if you win then all the better. I have won several contests and have made out big on the man's money. So I know it can be done.
Finally it looks like your dad is a good fade, ask him about a play then go against him.Comment

Wow.....a Father and Son changing back and forth on large sports wagers, with money they can't afford.....so beautiful....Isn't there a Norman Rockwell painting based on that? lol.
GL man....but never chase!
Take some time off....then come back with smaller wagers....and only cash you can afford!
Again...GL! :thumbs:Comment

You're not listening to what people are saying. You can't afford to make one more bet, and you really can't afford two bets to get out of the hole. From what you've said you're either 4000 or 7000 in debt. If you lose one or two more bets, you're down over 10000 bucks. If you want to keep gambling do what people have said and just make small bets. No more than 20 bucks and never use your credit card to gamble again. You say your Dad gives you advice on gambling, well he apparently forgot to tell you the most important rule of gambling. This is the first thing I ever taught my son about gambling, "don't bet the grocery money". In English that means don't ever gamble more than you can afford to lose and don't ever chase.
You really sound like a person who may not yet have a gambling problem but could develop one. You need to suck it up and get a second job or whatever it takes to pay your debt and quit trying to make the big score. Slow and steady is the way to eventually make money at gambling. I wish you luck.mlb 2018 157-110 +42.74 2018

DO NOT USE A CREDIT CARD TO FUND YOUR ACCOUNT
Do you realize how dangerous this is? How dangerous the **** you dug is? You are screwing with your credit, which ultimately effects your ability to obtain insurance as well as other important things in life. ONLY GAMBLE WITH THAT WHICH YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE.
There is so much good information in this thread. Dude bet $5.00 a game if you have to, but don't fund anything else with your credit card.
