It’s brave of you to tell some of your story and I can resonate with a lot of it.  I have spunked a month’s wages on a Friday night/saturday in arcades playing the £500 machines when they had only just come out.  Done the same with roulette in the bookies and then online.  Of course, there are wins and I remember a few times when I have had a grand in cash just lying on my bed, taking photos of the winnings and sort of revelling in it but as you know we can never keep it.  Simliar to what I do now with online casinos, getting the occasional big win and uploading them here.  I won £10k on Book Of Dead last year but its all gone.  I don’t know what the answer is because it is very hard to quit for people like us.  I have been on the edge a few times but somehow managed to wait one more day and somehow I’ve managed to pull through but it does feel like it’s only a matter of time if we can’t stop completely.

Watch the Louis Theroux documentary on Vegas gambling and try not to end up like the dude playing blackjack

Play some extra chilli on £1,£1.20, up to £2 stakes and get the price of the bonuses down so that you can come back and buy them cheaply with a low deposit

I don’t know if we want to lose but we certainly have trouble knowing when to stop, sometimes it’s impossible.

I use betvictor quite a lot and cash out through paypal.  Usually I’m playing late at night/early hours and if I withdraw it will still be pending when I wake up but what I do is cancel it and then withdraw it again and it usually goes through within a couple of hours at most

Lovely hit

I think if a machine wants to give you a big win it will, no matter how many spins you get.  Lately I’ve been playing Extra chilli on slightly high stakes for me eg £1.60, £2.40, a couple of spins on £3 and £4 here and there, and when the bonus drops in just take the 8 spins everytime and have had some really decent features from it

Well done, I did a similar thing 2 nights ago, got a £25 valuable from Casumo, played Jammin Jars on 40p and hit a few hundred on the feature, then had to beat £500 wagering, played Final Countdown on 40p, Millionaire and Bruce Lee and cashed out £700 !
