You should never bet with the intention or expectation of making extra money every month. If it was that easy then the betting companies wouldn't make their millions and millions every day.
If you're going to bet you should do it because you find it fun. You will in basically every case lose in the long run (I'm not even going to entertain the extremely small percentage that make a profit because that's like saying yeah you can make it to the Premier League if you just train hard enough). Some personalities can keep it controlled and know that it's just for fun and they don't expect a profit from it. Just like paying 10 quid for a couple of beer you don't expect any money in return for it, just some fun.
So I would say that you should quit yeah. You've been doing this for so long and as you see it isn't working out. A couple of alarming things I see from your post is a) Your goal and intention to make extra money b) You've paid tipsters and paid for automated betting software which is all BS and c) You've started placing ridiculous accumulators as a desperate attempt to hit a lottery ticket because of d) You're chasing your losses which is a classic sign of gambling addiction.
And to be clear I don't recommend you to switch from your style of betting to the 10 quid a week for fun strategy either because that's like recommending the local alcoholic to switch from his daily vodka to some daily beers. It just doesn't work and it's better to quit all together.
And don't worry too much about making extra cash every month. You have a job already. Spend that extra time on stuff that you'll remember with joy when at your death bed. Like an adventure or spending more time with the family!
I hope I made sense and that I wasn't too insensitive. I just wrote how I saw it. **Big** good luck to you! :)
Edit: Oh. And one last thing. Remember that you're asking for advice from a community that is heavily invested in betting so the responses you'll get will differ from asking a random fella on the street or a friend of yours who doesn't bet. Because I am in this community I can see where you were coming from but everybody outside this bubble would call this clear and obvious gambling addiction that needs to stop immediately. So I wouldn't listen to the lads saying take a months break or try **this other method** for making cash. I think you asking if you should stop is a clear enough sign that you should. And once again: Good luck!
This guy has hit it spot on. Please take in what he said because it’s so important.
With your other point, you say you want to make money and have tried all these different things, but the truth is, everyone does stuff at different times in their life and you don’t need talent to make money. Not everything is gonna work and these fast ways to make money are mostly bullshit. Dropping shipping and fiverr are very very competitive markets and trading is basically a form of gambling. But there’s so much opportunity out there. Always keep trying bro and don’t give up with other things. Betting is an exception because the bookies have designed it for consumers to lose. But invest in yourself and never give up man
Yeah you're right, I've never felt it's been an addiction as whenever I suffered heavy losses would quit for months on end but at the end of the day I've always gone back and still ended up losing.
Regaining 35k is a pretty big stretch using softbooks, especially as they are getting tougher/leaving the market. Most are just copypasted sites under the same roof with the same BS restrictions.
I can't help you specifically but from reading your post alone I wouldn't touch gambling with a bargepole anymore. It seems you've lapped up every marketing ploy possible and haven't come out the otherside any smarter.
It's a hard truth but gambling is supposed to be a recreational activity and for the bulk of us it should stay that way.
Only actual advice would be to focus on one thing and get good at it. Preferably somwthing you don't mind doing aa opposed to something you enjoy. With your personality type, functioning at 65-70% consistently will not feel amazing but is the best offer. Trying to function at 100% will induce a big drop down the line making you function at 40-50% and getting sacked or worse.
Just stop it. It’s not going to be healthy. I’m sure you had a lot of thrill from it but the reality is, you are down 35k. That is a lot of money. Imagine how long it takes to save that money. You could have used that money to invest in yourself or even put it as a deposit for a house. It’s not worth it. Stop gambling and enjoy your life man. Don’t look back!
General consensus seems to be that you should stop what you're doing, except for the one or two who think building a better "model" is the way out of this!
To me it looks like your issues are more deep rooted than just needing more money. If I were a betting man (and I am!) I would wager that if you did go on some mad (& unlikely) winning streak and won back all your cash, you would find that it doesn't hit the spot quiet like you thought it would.
Happiness is not something you have to pay for, it's a state of mind, and can only be found by changing your mindset in how you are looking at your life and these specific circumstances.
This might be coming across as nothing more than basic positive thinking BS, but if you are willing and able to put the graft into working on your mindset as much as you are on betting, then you can get to your happy place much more quickly... free of charge!
I'd highly recommend listening/watching some Tony Robbins, there are loads of free videos and audio recordings on youtube. Even listening to him talk about these things is enough to make you feel better, and if you were to follow through on what he recommends then who knows, you might find out that you're not so unremarkable after all.
Good luck mate.
I think you should stop betting. Because it's not worth to go after losing bet.
I have been in your situation for the past 4 years since I started betting online.
Online betting is the worst.
I have loss about over 13k dollars because I had a job.
For the past 2 months I stopped putting more money in my bet account.
Because I figured that putting more money to betting account after the betting account is empty is not worth it anymore.
Otherwise I will end up losing all my savings money to bet.
Because it's not worth it to go after win back the losing bet.
Quit fast mate, i've bet for about 5 years now. went +-0 for 4 years, started making big profit for 1 year now. I've seen huge progression in my game and learned alot. This is not the way for you man if you do not feel progression.
Are you betting to have fun or to make money?
If to have fun, then stop if you're no longer having fun.
If to make money, why are you paying other tipsters? Clearly if they were right they don't need to sell picks.
If you want to make money, here's some free ideas you can try out:
1. Fading the public. This is very straightforward and can be done by using reddit upvotes as proxy or actually reading lines and money movement. Whatever the public is on, don't do it, because if the public was right, they'd be rich. I.e., EPL overs. There were so many articles based on xG saying the EPL is not any different this year than before. We were just on a hot streak. Pretty sure public got killed this weekend as dogs, unders, draws, you name it all won and you guessed it, the public was on the other side.
2. Building your own model. If you want to make money, you need to put in work. Build a model. There's tons of advanced stats out there for free that you can use to build your own model. It can be as simple or as complicated as you are willing to make it. It could be as simple as the average xG of two teams and using it to bet totals. You can make it more complicated by adjusting the average for XYZ. Back test it, then bet based off it. Stay disciplined and keep refining the model.
> Building your own model. If you want to make money, you need to put in work. Build a model.
That is even harder than using automated betting software (which can work if it just recommends you to bet where the odds are higher than Pinnacle). Absolutely not a good suggestion unless you are deep into statistics.
Keep in mind you just recommended another possibility of losing money to a gambling addict (OP).
Of course having a model is more or less the only way to be profitable, but that advice is out of place here.
Just quit man. Or change your bet system. Bet for fun, even if it's cents, but don't bet for fast profit. Don't double when you lose. Accumulations are not easy to win, it's a fast investment (fast lost), instead of a long one (simple bets).
I made betting a successful thing for a while but I had a full time job and used my money on bets. I wasn’t making your odds of 2/1 bets on a home win. I was doing odds of 1.4,1.6 accumulators etc. I would stake £200 too win £100. This sort of thing would make me £300-500 extra on top of my wages. I’ve stopped doing it because betting was killing my mental health. It made me a cynical person and I lost interest in the sport a lot. Things have gotten better now as I feel better mentally and I’m earning more money. Betting did teach me how to analyse and take risks but at the end of the day I had no control on how a outcome would be which I personally think made me more depressed.
Reality is gambling is hard. Especially sports betting. If you wanna do that professionally you're in for the world of trouble. Even if you're a winner it's a struggle because you have constant battle with book limitations, withdrawal witholdings, wrong settlements, etc.
If you do it for fun than fine, do it just don't have any expectations.

Thank you, I am going to delete my account and call it a day.
No problem. Nice to hear. Don't be afraid to ask people for help or calling the help number if you get urges again.

Yep you're spot on.
Soft books?

Do you want to make money? How do you expect to have an edge if you're just doing what everyone else is trying to do? No one said it's easy.

It’s called the stock market There are lots of winners and it’s still gambling
