Morale of the story is

gambling addict

 

the reason I would call you an addict is because you should only take what you are willing to lose… sounds to me by the way your felt and knowing what was coming, aswel as making excuses to the mates it’s an all too regular occurrence.

the problem with what’s happened and I know because I’ve been there, is the fact that you’ve staked 450 to win 150….

 

the way way I have now come to think of it which massively helps me and I really hope it helps you is… what X win would Give you that buzz… 50x, 10x 200x.

What you have in fact just done is had a about a 1.3x win. (Pretty poor in fairness)

but the reason your extatic is because of the situation you put yourself in… don’t do it, it’s not worth it… the bad times will out way the good I promise you that.

This is the problem is modern day gamblers have… the excitement unfortunately is enhanced by us being down initially. Your the perfect example… had you won 150 off of an initial £20 bet or something I garauntee you it would not have felt as good as it did when you was down.

I wish you much luck in the future as I do all fellow gamblers. Hope it helps

Thanks for the advice. This was several years ago. I probably have a flutter every 3 months or so now. If that’s an addict, so be it. Maybe i was at the time. I think the whole point of this section is to tell your gambling stories of days gone by. That was one of mine.

Yeah defo dude… I think we all have similar stories to that when when we’ve been caught up..

i mean shit I’ve got an absolute ridiculous one that was such a lucky escape

 

but some of the things I mentioned really did help me. Hard to take a step back sometimes. I find that sticking to what you tell yourself before going in massively helps as I’ve mentioned above.

 

My worst was on 32 red about 6 year ago…

i had depositied about £500 on payday, after transferring the missus money for the bills but it literally left me with fuck all for the month… I had about £20 in my PayPal so I deposited that but then when I looked at my paypal I didn’t have it… there must of been an issue with the casino requestion the money and paypal approving it… so gambling addict at the time me thought… wonder how much it will let me deposit… anyways 1hr later I’ve deposited about a grand from paypal (even tho cash wasn’t there… so I then did another grand and finally got lucky and hit a number paying me £2300)

after that I had a long hard think into why I had done it and why I was so happy about losing £200… I felt like I had been tricked but after stepping away you realise it’s all about control. If you can control what your doing it’s safe… the minute you aren’t your fucked.

Mot defo made me see how people can get thousands and thousands in debt through it tho
