Risk of Ruin Reached

[JeffDime]

i really did have alot of confidence in my golf handicapping and bet structuring over the last few years. i felt like i had got to my coin flip/semi-coin flip spots and it was just a manner of time until they would come through and the ball would bounce my way. i always tried to make sure that if i was correct i would make at least low 5 figures in payout while still managing my bankroll the best way I could. For the most part i did, and despite losing the last 8 5 figure score chances by a single stroke or in a playoff, I hardly ever made a tilt bet.

There are horrific beats and then there was the one this weekend. Sure it hurts more because it truly does finish me off but still it had to be the worst golf chokes I have seen in a long time. The golfer i had was named Jeeno and she is the #1 female golfer in the world. She is also the number 1 ranked putter in the world. She got to the 18th Par 5 with a one stroke lead and both her and Charley Hull (One back) reached the green in two. Both missed their eagle putts and had about 5 feet left for their birdie. Jeeno was slightly outside of Charlie. Anyways she smashed her putt another 5 feet past, missed the comebacker and ended up 4 putting. Charley then made her birdie putt and won. i dont know for sure but its a safe bet that Jeeno has never 4 putted in her pro career.

It was a combination of so much losing, the finality of it all and the absurd matter in which it all happened, it just made me so sick. i was dry heaving because i had nothing in my stomach to throw up. Maybe there is a reason it had to end this way. The older you get the tougher it is to start over. i wont blame luck on all this. Yes, I made some great bets that ended up as digital napkins, but its my other life choices that led to the point that I needed this 22 year Old Thai chick to not perform the choke of the century to sustain.

People do say this all the time when they go broke, but that is very likely the last bet I ever make. I'm just too old and it effects my health way too much. I am sorry to post this here but i know many here will at least understand it. If i try to speak about it to all the squares in my life, it's just "gambling" and I sound delusional when i say i really did have a horrific run of luck. But i really did. Now its time to live very lean and go on the public humiliation tour with family and friends. I do hope i figure something out.

i really do enjoy this site and it was great that i found it during the pandemic. i feel like i know many of you, even though i have never met most of you. This post may seem selfish and tone death with all that is going on in the world. But i needed to post it. I needed this all to be memorialized somewhere and this was the place. I hope i figure things out and have a positive update to this in the future. Godspeed everyone.

Thanks TF. I guess the best way to describe my age is a hard eight (4 4). I have had some health issues but the silver lining is I have been taking better care of myself as of late .

in time you will realize you also have a new start, whether by choice or not, you really do. you are likely starting with a clean slate. the beauty of that is that it allows you to reprioritize your life. give that some thought. GL

The old saying remains true, it’s not how many times you fall, it’s how many times you get back up.

Of course I recommend a true friend by your side, just ask Him.

Prayers for your revival.

I will say that I watched a number of quality JeffDime golf picks, which could have hit for big money, go down in flames via bad luck or variance.

That's what always scares me about long-odds props. You can go through a very long famine before you get your feast.

I hope you get back on your feet, and everything turns out okay.

Some of you don't know this, but JeffDime was a lurker and radio listener, who decided to come out and make his first post in 2020. He ended up creating the longest PFA thread of all time -- one that's still active today. It was the Christopher Mitchell thread!

I met Jeff in person at Bellagio, and he's a nice guy. His posts on this forum have been good, and I'm glad he decided to come out and post here 5 1/2 years ago.

Jeff for starting the Chrissy thread alone makes him a hero, legend and GOD forever.

But come on, betting Golf? It’s as degenerate as it comes. Show me the house edge and show me where he, or anyone had an edge.

I hope he finds the peace away from gambling he deserves, or doesn’t, who know?

Good luck Jeff , have always followed your golf bets ., and your general posts are always well thought out and interesting.

The one gambling change I’ve made is not going in the local bookie shops , mainly through falling out with them while drunk …
Still do small bets on line but must be saving a £1000 a month easy …

Must not have been kelly betting.

The only time I bet golf was $100 on Jordan Spieth in the British Open. Don't remember the odds. The girl I was banging at the time was with me that weekend and a fan, so maybe that influenced my decision. He finished second to Morikawa. So I'm a lifetime loser at golf handicapping!

Fuck off, little bitch. There is a reason he went broke. But you damn sure can't figure it out. Fucking bankroll management, you mealy mouth punk.

The number one objective in gambling is to survive. That means no fucking busting out, bitch.

Repeat, the number one objective in gambling is to survive. That means no fucking busting out, bitch.

I won't make a judgement as to whether he had an edge or not but he should have been in survival mode a long time ago. He should have been doing quarter kelly.

But born losers like you got no clue. WTF are you even doing on a gambling site? You fucking bustout.

Post of the year.

a well liked member here lays his soul out for us. he confesses he is broke after years of sports betting and is later in life going to have to find a new way. any decent human can feel his pain as he types his story. a few of us offer words of inspiration or community.

mickeygrimm instead makes a cold, snide comment telling him he must have done it the wrong way, adding nothing more -- all to try to make himself look smart and feel better than someone else who is in a dark place.



tine/sloppy - i will chip in for my portion of the whores to piss on this vagabond's grave at the pauper's cemetery.

He is the type of guy who thinks Andy Beal is the loser and Ted Forrest the hero when one has enough to drop millions for fun and the other is probably borrowing money for rent.


If your goal is to never spend a productive day in your life and live like a parasite off food stamps like he did until he figured out how to quit being a parasite off the tax payers and be a parasite off of other slot players leaving a slot machine profitable enough for him to afford a shared room, then that all makes sense.


He’s a guy who thinks everyone not grinding machines for pocket change is a losing gambler rather than having far more productive shit to do.
