I am a frequent bettor, up until recently I've always thought out my bets long and hard, kept track of them in a spreadsheet etc. Recently that's changed, I've been putting on stupid bets for no reason other than boredom, find myself P*****g money away on roulette and slots which I know are -EV, usually because I'm angry or upset about something else in life. The degenning of any money I win absolutely sucks the joy out of it, and I'm left hating myself when I just keep going and going. Tonight/this morning I've lost £300ish, I don't know how that figures to some people but my normal bet stakes are £5/point, or 50p a spin on slots, so to me that's a pretty heavy hammer. I'm just sat wondering if I am just slipping down the slope to ruin?
