Hi Webbe and well done on your gamble free time. Keeping yourself busy is important, we need to fill the void left by stopping gambling.

I would recommend not doing those “virtual picks”, it is just teasing the addiction.

You say tou are a big sports fan? I used to say that as well. Though sometimes I wouldn’t want my team to score unless it was a certain player who I had bet on. Sometimes I wouldn’t want them to score any more goals or maybe I would like them to concede one because I had a correct score bet. Hey, sometimes I even wanted them to lose!! What sort of “sports fan” was I?

Now though I am a sports fan, I cheer a team on and dont care who scores, how many they score, I never want them to concede… get the picture?

What you have to find for yourself is whetehr you are a real “sports fan,” and you can enjoy watching the games without betting or virtual picks, or whether you are someone who is a sports bettor.

Those virtual picks can tease the addiction and be a major trigger if/when you have any sort of run of “luck” with your picks.

Keep posting.
