I was In a very similar situation to yours a couple years ago, but instead of roulette it was reel king, kept chasing a big hit, or a big gamble win and I’d walk, but I just couldn’t accept my first loss and kept chasing.
and it just never came and I completely did my bollocks in for a similar amount to you and it’s soul destroying.. I’m so happy you’ve used Gamstop and now can start to make the recovery to your loss, Im glad you had the foresight to get your presents early so atleast you had that base covered!
You’ll get through this difficult time, stay strong in the fact that your money is not going to be readily available to be spent on gambling and you can recover from this, wishing you all the best for 2019 and a merry Christmas man, chin up lad.
