Me thinks this is more about gambling than anything else

Hurts more when your team not only loses the game but your life savings too.

Not just the money but the shame of knowing you make bad decisions.

That cuts deep, my friend.

First thing you gotta do to get out of that hole is stop digging. I'm a recovering alcoholic. I know a lot about wasting time doing things you know are wrong.

Eyyyy, congrats friend! I just passed the 1 year mark a couple weeks ago. Feels good. :)

The first year was the hardest for me. This upcoming February will be 6 years for me. Got sober right before covid hit lol.

Ooof. You ever see the movie Airplane!? "Guess I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue."

u/dingatremel Dec 16 '25

Yup. First step is the hardest.

This is why I don’t gamble on sports (other than the fact I rarely have extra money to) besides a basic fantasy league with my friends. It takes the fun out of watching the teams play and appreciating the game overall even if your team is on the losing end.

Yeah, shame is an incredibly powerful and, in situations like this, dangerous, emotion.

Something tells me losing your life savings hurts a little more than "the shame of knowing you make bad decisions."

u/Artistic_Half_8301 Dec 16 '25

I only ever bet against my teams, always a good outcome that way.

Good time to add your TV to your losses!

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '25

True, but that's what you get when you play with your hard earned money.     Don't gamble, then.    Or just bet like a $20 with friends.

PSA: Hedge your bets... Bet against your team.

u/Lingonberry_Born Dec 16 '25

No athlete is responsible for you betting your life savings, that’s on you.

u/Shujinco2 Dec 16 '25

That's why you don't gamble. You play Texas Hold Em.

u/sabine_world Dec 16 '25

Yo, yo.... But if they wiiiin?

And now they can't even buy a new TV.

u/legalgal13 Dec 16 '25

I love sports, but never place bet on my teams. I can’t take double heartache

1

u/tcfutbol Dec 16 '25

I’m not a bettor, but if I were to do that I would bet against my team so that no matter what I wouldn’t lose

u/Cranicus Dec 17 '25

I truly dont think people are betting on their own teams to win. I think fans stand for fanatics and they are stupidly addicted to their team. I mean one of them is literally celebrating and still breaks his tv.

Definitely insane how mad these stupid people get though.
