Yup those small returns really aren't worth it at all. I'm kinda surprised I've now grown on making parlay bets again. Even after that $50 loss I've not gone off it but that might change with ANOTHER $50 loss so hopefully that doesn't happen Nah I feel like I get mild ones pretty easily but not bad very often at all and that's because I specifically try to avoid it by limiting myself to a couple drinks or whatever the majority of the time

Yuuuup exactly, that seems awesome for a little break for a couple weeks, couple months but as a long-term thing it would drive me / prob anyone crazy. Like luckily for me living at home I'm still close to everything, live close to my friends, etc. so it's all good. I never do get peace at home tho until it's late cause too many people / too chaotic lol.

NOT 1 out of 10! It's a hard game to win if you're making the wrong decisions tho (and pretty hard game to win anyway lol) so it's honestly not that shocking to me tbf. It was a good amount but I totally lost count. I know I was literally back and forth from -$25 & $0 like 10+ times at the end and did at least around 20-30 others before that which were around a similar win/loss range Pretty rare to go that back and forth and for so long in that game. Normally some big win or loss (more likely ) streak would happen by then

Btw I was just looking at that 3rd site I have and the tournaments are just insane, like it's NJ's most popular online poker site by far & I never even knew that as it was nowhere near this big the last time I was playing on it (although still pretty decent then I just stopped cause I could never get any luck on it).

The prizes for a $30 tournament that started at 10pm (with re-entries & $30 add-ons so like people can add extra chips for another $30 right when the registration period ends - which means it's kind of a $60 tournament since 90% of people add on but even then still, these kind of prizes are CRAZY for just a random Tuesday $30+ night game

Omg right... how the hell is it July already? It's mad that half the year is done & Christmas doesn't even feel thaaaat long ago. And I've almost been back home 3 months now wtf Which means lockdown/your working from home must have been around 4 months ago

Yeah it seems like a really good option especially for when it's not going so well overall to risk less & also win some back Hopefully the higher ones keep being HOT for you rn too though

Lol so true, it's great with no risks and just potential profit to be made I'm gonna maybe try & use my mom's phone as well to download that app & get some more free bets/use it on horse races The way I lost to horse racing and won it back on it again though

Ahhh you writing about blackjack just inspired me to try it out again. Literally won 1 out of 10 games. WHY am I so bad at this I would lose hella money on that ****. Lmaoo how many rounds do you think you played? That sounds kinda frustrating though going back and forth like that but I'm soo surprised you didn't either stop at a loss OR win one way

AHHH yeah I did Now I'm not really satisfied with anything under a £4 profit tbh, just seems pointless to risk £5 for that and even though those lower wins SHOULD be safe ish bets, I've lost them SO many times. I guess it doesn't happen to me toooo often but would you say you get hangovers most times or not??

Yeah it's kinda cool here with what's going on at the moment, it's chill/quiet and I don't have to talk to/see anyone I don't want to. It is nice for a break though but imagining staying here all the time gosh

Yup I usually just stick to all the smaller entries ($10-30, maybe a/some $50's) when I'm not on such a hot streak cause I'm not trying to lose that kind of $ then. Because like even if I just play a couple of the smaller ones in a day and do really poorly that can still add up to like $100-200+ lost in a day. But I'm having fun in the $100 & higher games rn too & some nice luck overall that hopefully lasts so I'll keep it going for the time being

Niiiice those bets are so good, like if you're gonna make future bets anyway you might as well take the chance of possibly winning those & if not oh well you can just use that free bet $ If only all gambling was risk-free like that lol </3

Lol didn't you use to like doing those bets with small returns at first because they were easier to win at least? You've upgraded your risk amts / winning standards quite a bit since we started talking about gambling And yeah I still don't really think about it a lot of the time but sometimes it does make me hesitant both before & while drinking. It's like worth it and not worth it at the same time for me

You having the ultimate quarantine spot during this time It actually sounds soooo nice & peaceful tho. Prob does get boring af too but still like the perfect getaway spot for a lil break from life or something

That's nice, would be great to happen all at once & helping you save up some money rn. And ahhh it's officially your birthday month now

Just tried some blackjack for like 10-15 mins @ $25/bet (was gonna stop if I lost $100 max) and I finally ended up quitting at even. It was sooooo back and forth this time like practically win one, lose one type of streak Was between -$50 to +$25 like the ENTIRE time and somewhere around the last 8-10 or so it just kept varying between $0 & -$25 so I finally accepted the null & void blackjack session result

Lmaoo I def won't, like I'd probably be okay with losing £100 but nothing more from it & idk right now, I've got this feeling it was just a one time thing and I won't get it again but if I do it's a big advantage. Obvs I'll get some for my birthday too which will help a lot so this is all just extra really

YEEEES, you winning that #1 place and getting GOOD profit there Yep it sounds like it works well that way and also the smaller entry prices for still really good winnings & less time taken for it. Really nice

Oh btw there's a game on tomorrow (Thursday) evening where I've got that 'money back' bet again if Man City win against Liverpool, so I did the same thing again on the 'Liverpool to win, draw no bet' thing, these no risk bets are literally AMAZING

Yeah this game that happened last night, I was looking at it the night before but then I thought the odds weren't that good anyway so didn't wanna risk like £5 for like a £1-3 profit or whatever Ugh yeah it usually doesn't last for me though, like I never really think about it when I want to drink the next time The only way I really get put off is if I actually throw up

Lol yeah it'll be so weird to be in the outside world again like walking around streets etc. Probably a lot more enjoyable too. But yeah there's really no point in like walking around the roads/fields here when there's a garden anyway
