Mate, I’m gutted for you. But you’re a gambler. And these are the swings and the roundabouts. There’s something in our genes that makes us do the dumb ass stuff that we do. Please keep hold of the remaining profit. Easy to think you can win back your losses but it rarely happens. I have been a degen gambler since the age of 15. I’m now 44 and have been skint for most of my life (I have always had well paid jobs but it made no difference. All my money would go down the swanny at any given opportunity). No one ever knew, all my mates and family are very sensible so I could never tell anyone. 9 months ago I got up to 150k Aussie $$ (approx £80k) playing slots online. Break Da Bank Again was my slot of choice and paid huge for me. Over the Easter long weekend I did the lot, ending up playing 400 per spin on a shit slot I can’t now recall the name of. I was numb for about a week. I then won around 40k Aussie $$ at the casino after starting with only 200 (5 or 6 roulette number came up for me on the trot, doubling up my bet each time). Needless to say I blew that too over the next few weeks. Anyway, I’ve been “clean” for a few months now, just bought a house, have decided to like my life, and all in all cannot complain. Not putting the Bandit in the same category as me – he seems to have some restraint that I’ve never been able to access. Just making the point to anyone out there who is feeling desperate that there can actually be some light at the end of the tunnel. But from my own perspective it needed rock bottom for me to find it. Love the videos Bandit. Watching them stops my itch for a gamble (ignore the muppets mate – anyone who moans about your videos is not a true degen and knows not of what they speak). Peace to one and all and I hope 2019 treats you all well. X
18th January 2019 at 1:14 pm #39987Sorry to hear about this big session loss. Glad you recognised the end point of the session to call it a day – I’ve been guilty of going passed that point more than once and regretted it immensely the following day. You’ll be back in no time 🙂
18th January 2019 at 1:31 pm #39994Sorry to hear about the loss mate we know you will gain it back in no time and your still massivley up on it anyway mate spent 2 hours last night going through this thread mate and just on the screenshots of your tops and taking out your deposits i calculated £90964.09 and thats just over 2 weeks never mind the 8 months prior to this profit got to say it took ages going through and calculating but was worth it lol
18th January 2019 at 1:37 pm #39998Got to respect the honesty
And in a way it shows us smaller time players that this can happen, on top of the world nothing can go wrong and then a big slap in the face soon happens.
I’d give it a rest and play smaller stakes as you’ve pointed out, you’re still up to the tune of about 340k then? which has got you the house and car, that’s how you’ve got to look at it mate, the wife is happy the kids are happy and you’ve still got a nice little pot to play with on smaller stakes.
60k when you look at it from that angle is nothing really 🙂

The way I look at it you’re not going to win big unless you bet big, and most of us will admit the thrill is in the chase, having the money isn’t all that anyway in my experience. the best part about it for me personally is being skint and coming up with daft ideas to try and make a few bob 🙂
118th January 2019 at 2:13 pm #40008As others have said got to respect you for sharing all the details here win or lose I think a lot of people in your position wouldn’t do that especially after a big loss.
Fair play for stopping as well that truly shows that you are in control of it and mean what you say.
18th January 2019 at 3:51 pm #40034Every cloud and all that – if possible, i shall just be withdrawing that!
1118th January 2019 at 4:04 pm #40042Chin up mate. Rewind a couple of months and you would definitely have taken your position now.
Gotta try blank out the bad sesh, and move on. Not easy I know but I know you got it.
maybe suggest hitting some megaways games like bonanza or millionaire for like 10er stake. If you get the bonus could go mental . Might take you mind off reel king.
good luck. Looking forward to bext vid. Thanks for sharing the story dude.
18th January 2019 at 4:04 pm #40043Tiny consolation mate. I have no doubt you will get that back playing sensible and more besides. We hope you do.
18th January 2019 at 4:33 pm #40055A tank o fuel and basket of whoopsy’s for the wifey with that bandit . U never know u maybe even get a gallon for ur bike . Petrol quire cheap the now lol !!! Keep ur chin up bud ?
18th January 2019 at 5:07 pm #40057If you build the pot up again and end up in the same situation would you play any different ?. This isn’t a criticism just an opinion. This is what the forum is about right. It’s inevitable you will always hit the top. I have no doubts about that but something changed. When you did the 38k for 41k you hit the top twice. Your going to say well I’ve hit the top on multiple occasions in the same session before and yes that’s true but when you’ve done that the first top as yielded a profit. Then the stake as been reduced to pose a no risk strategy . My point is on these two occasions you have had to hit the top twice to get a profit. Don’t blame you for one second for doing that. Your competitive and your a winner and don’t want a losing session. I feel this is where the main danger lies in this game. If the first top doesn’t get money back or profit then the game becomes extremely dangerous. Like I said just an opinion mate not a criticism. Not saying how to suck eggs. You’ve probably played this game more than all of us added together and you know more than all of us.
18th January 2019 at 5:26 pm #40059No mate, i’l play it the same way. I expect a loss every now and then as it seems to just be the nature – it is all about how far i push it for how much that loss is going to be but it is also about that particular cycles profit level at the time too for example, you won’t find me £40k in again any time soon, i have ended the cycle that i had had on it in this thread and it has concluded with a profit of around £40-45k, i’l start over now because as you know, that has already been spent on the wifes car.
I haven’t only had 2 instances of multiple tops you see, in this thread maybe yes but over the last 8 months it is a very common occurrence to be anywhere between 20 and 30k in and hit two tops. I won’t be changing my personal method at all tbh. I will just begin the process again as i always do on the lower stakes and begin to use it’s own money as i see it.
118th January 2019 at 5:32 pm #40060Was going to happen at some point,just glad you won loads before it did:)…gluck and rebuilding but do stick to you 3k max on it unless build it back up to alot…gluck.
18th January 2019 at 6:09 pm #40068I think much respect must be given for sticking to your limits. It’s very easy to think once more, especially given your long term history of the game.
What a journey though, hopefully in a couple of weeks this thread reaches where it was a few days ago.
Best of luck, and kudos for the brutal honesty.
18th January 2019 at 6:19 pm #40070Steve chin up mate it’s a big loss.dont go chasing now just sensible stakes play from your VIP monet they gave you back.
