Shit that’s a lot off money

[RollWithItRuss WANTED $21 Outlaw]

I have asked for deposit histories a couple of places, soon adds up, some give you the numbers others just a spreadsheet.

I you deposit winnings elsewhere then you can get big number turning over the same money.

I stopped most of my exchange betting when it was apparent I was paying massive amounts of commission, since I was up and down. The commission far exceeds what ever I would end up with.

I don’t even want to see my deposit histories, net losses etc. – until a few years ago, I spent the better part of a decade chucking money every week (usually several times a week) in to FOBTs on the high street. And the two things I learned from that are a) if I’d never gambled, I’d almost certainly own a house on a mortgage right now instead of renting with zero savings and a barely above zero credit rating and b) fuck Rainbow Riches, there is a special place in hell for that game.

Couple of the things this has highlighted for me

1 – I am a terrible gambler

2 – I could have saved about  £50,000 in three years

Ps this wasn’t an easy thing to share!

[Re Redcorvette WANTED $19 Spectator]

Great thread and I would urge everyone to follow suit and consider what you could have done with the money you have handed over to the casinos

The Bandit has kindly provided access to gamban in this site – I would urge anyone who can empathise with these losses to use it

If you do feel the overweening urge to give away £100’s of pounds each month there are people living rough on the streets of our country who can only dream of having £200 in there pockets to pay for a room for a week in the winter nights

Done same yesterday with William hills account. I lost £5442 last year.  But I never realised how often I reversed withdrawals until I actually went thru transaction history.

 

Something I am going to try cut out this year

[Re Redcorvette WANTED $19 Spectator]

This is an excellent thread and a great indication of the impact of gambling.

I would urge all subscribers to read and consider whether they could be driving around in an Audi sports car instead of a crappy Peugeot 106 for example

The Bandit has provided a gamban link.   The best way for you to make money is to use it. As I suspect that at the moment 99% of you are losing it
