This is something I never imagined that I would ever have been posting or going public with, but I feel the need to share my story with everyone here because if you are going through this you are absolutely not alone. I created this account with the passion and ambition to become a successful entrepreneur "a great sports gambler" I tried to preach about the dangers of it and I tried to preach a level of discipline to everyone because even with a plan, or a knowledge of the sport, you are still going to find your self on the opposite end of the coin more times than you want. Winning is fun but, how do you handle losing? I never handled it well. I would always chase down my losses, add more bets and just compulsively gamble everyday all day long. I lost everything (thankfully no debt or maxed credit cards) simply just an addict that would blow, all his money down to the last dime to feed the addiction, My fiancé of 4 years called it quits, she couldn't take the financial and emotional heartache anymore. It was devastating to take a step back and realize how bad and for how long this was going on. I'm left holding all the pieces. Sitting with the regret of what I've done ,but all I can do now is reflect and move forward. Today is day #32 for me of no gambling. On June 26th, 2026 I placed my last bet and I'm proud to say that I'm never going back. Gambling is supposed to fun. It's supposed to be a little excitement, but for people like me it becomes a demon that you fight everyday. Subconsciously throwing all your money away until there is nothing left. If you are going through anything like this. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. The #1 thing you can do is just stop. Make the choice to end the bad behavior. Seek help, and start doing things that make you happy. Seek the dopamine rushes in other ways, exercise has been my key to success and my motivation so far. For everyone here that has followed me and been around my Channel for sometime, you have seen it all. I was a sports gambler personally for a little over 10 years now. I've seen the highest highs, the hottest runs there have ever been, and I've seen the deepest and darkest valleys where it seems like there is no way out. If I can say 1 thing. THE BAD OUT WEIGHS THE GOOD BY ALOT. You spend all your time in the valley wondering how you got there and how you're going to reach that peak again that was so short lived. In the end. It's a game and I admit I lost now. Gambling has defeated me ,but it has not ruined me. I still have a beautiful life to live and you do too. The successes and riches of life can be found in so many other ways. Cherish life's beauty and don't waste your time like I did! Use me as a lesson for yourself now. I appreciate you all and if my message helps 1 person today then I've done my job. Thank you all. I am now closing the book on the bookie. @Couch_Locks out ✌️

Absolutely horrific @SFGiants 6-2 lead in the 7th only to absolutely blow up and then some in the 9th. Now trailing 9-6 in the 9th. All too familiar this season.
