My biggest, and maybe last bet ever

[GTDawg]

After suffering bad beats and taking risky bets that don't pan out etc etc...the best thing you can come up with is to put your entire roll on one game?

I mean, if you lose them...it's just going to convince you that you are awful at poker and life and you're going to get pissed off and mad that you lost all that money and that's not really the right way to go about it, right?

Why not take a few weeks off and go do something else you love and leave the poker and betting for another day. Half a dozen people have done that on this site and they have all said they realized it wasn't as bad as they thought and that when they came back they had a clearer head and did better in the long run because they knew they didn't need poker (or betting as the case may be).

For the record, Joey Porter isn't going to be there all the time to intercept a pass and run it back for a TD after a missed FG to help you cover the spread. It's called gambling. It doesn't run good all the time.

If you think about how completely awful you are running now, you have got to run just that good at some point in the future.

I agree. And it's not too late to "hedge" at least part of this bet, and just eat the vig. I hope you win, but anything can happen, and it just seems so needlessly risky to me.
