Back in my younger days I am now 50 something, I thought I could beat the horses. Yes some think of this as a skill reading the racing form looking at the races previously run by the entrants in the race and try to decipher the winning horse. Yes I would have a few days in a row of “beating” the horses. Yes some people are able to do this consistently. But they are able to pick a very few horses a day and only bet on them. However I myself could not do this very well . I needed to be in action every race . It was getting so bad even when I would pick the winner of the race I would still lose because I would try then to hit the first 3 horses so I could few hundred dollars. but instead would lose and keep losing. Then I was making loans off of my credit cards with the intention of paying it all back when that big win came… I did however win big a few times. But guess what happened then. I bet even more . I also thought like you at first when I came to a gamblers anonymous meeting.[ I dont know if have went to one yet I would suggest you go to one if you haven’t. ]I thought I could go to meetings and get my gambling under control. Well I am here to tell that did not go very well. They actually told me I had to stop gambling and to try to improve my character. I thought I dont need to improve anything. I just need to control money better. Well that didnt work very well. I just ended up losing my house, job and most of my family because I owed all of them money. well to make a long story short. after years of trying to gamble like a normal person and failing. I am here to tell you. Be careful of what you do . Thank you for taking time to read this … Any Questions let me know . I am away from home alot working . so might take me a few days to answer
