To each their own of course, but the words of encouragement towards Nzoner has me so confused. It's like others feel the same way but can't bring themselves to do it themselves.

A lot of this thread reads like an alcohol/drug addiction thread.

I have to do this because you nailed it,for me it's an addiction.Sorry to rain on anyone's parade but I'm now 55 years old and have gambled on sports for 30+ years and I'm calling bullshit.I follow vegas lines and over/unders like a hawk and this shit has gotten way out of control.
We now have concussion protocol and instant replay and yadda yadda yadda hell we now even have a former ref in the booth that is going to tell us why we should believe the call that is about to be made.
I just feel like I'm watching professional wrestling more times than not and am sick and ****ing tired of the BS.
Lastly and again sorry to be a downer,listen real close to the announcers on any game,watch the vegas spreads and then the outcomes.
I can't preach this shit if I'm not willing to step away and it breaks my heart because I LOVE sports
