Hi there,
Just to put it into perspective a bit for you. Ok losing that sort of money in just a few hours sucks 10k, is a lot of money. For most its like half a year wages, but you be surprised how many people have done the same thing. People get massive hits on theses sorts of games. Its not like playing in a regular arcade where your bet size is 10p,30p, 50p, £1 or £2. So it is very capped to a level. However online the stakes just rise and rise. Most Play and Go games alone can go upto £50 a spin! So suddenly your 10k seems quite small in reality. Don’t beat yours too much.
The main thing is that you have taken the time to think about what you did. I know its easier said than done trust me, but in some way you need to forget about the 10k loss. Cause if you carry on playing theses sorts of games chasing that 10k loss, then more than likely you will loses even more. You need to reset and play at a stake that is inline with your income. If you can think what you can afford to loses having a play at the games you want to play, then if a nice hit or a monster hit happens then, fair enough good on you. However if you lose the money then at least you aren’t getting yourself further and further into a mess. I wish you all the best pal and thanks for sharing your story but like I said you aren’t the only one and at least you have the balls to share that sort of a loss and put into perspective what sort of effect that has on you.
One last thing, in till you are back level and debts are paid off. Then I would self exclude or a least block your account – I know its not what you wanna here mate but at least if you sort your debts out then you can sleep a lot easier at night. 🙂
Good luck Giannix
