  1. I dont really like playing on PC, mainly because I find it uncomfortable. Screen too small and stuff. Haven't really played a lot myself, give me a message next time you're on and I will see if I'm allowed on for a few hours
  2. To be fair you have like 100 dive trails because you're a multi-account smurf so law of averages suggests you will get a predator one on your accounts. Also, do you even play anymore?
  3. Gets his apex predator dive trail and thinks hes king of the Internet. I see how it is. You used to be alright. You've changed
  4. This is pure lies, its only you who wants me back and that's only because I'm shite at competitions so you won't come last haha.
  5. Just stalked his twitter. Hes doing some good stuff! Will message him come the new term. Cheers!
  6. Cool, will do. Although I preferred to do it externally as ya know, trying to get rid of my TGC addiction and all that
  7. I don't know why you feel the need to tell anyone about this. Look at the amount of parasites there are on YouTube. I would much rather see you profit than half of these dimwits whose sole intention is to sucker people in to shady casinos for personal gain. Stop feeling bad and take the bastards money. If it wasn't you then it would be some other dickhead who couldn't give a shit about the community. I'm trying to stop posting on here and you're making me post by being a fanny and refusing money. Your fault if I stick a few grand in some curacao casino tonight ya knobber!
  8. Wannabe. Huh. You cheated for predator you dashboarding noob! Looks like this whole thing is on hold for the forseeable but appreciate your advice anyway friend. I have had a word back from the charity in question who are interested in doing something though, although no email correspondence since this whole shit kicked off understandably. Something for next year now it seems! How would I get touch with Andy margett by the way? I've seen his videos a few times before and he seems like a good guy.
  9. I like you Nicola. I say me and you should go to Disneyland together (you're paying). Alternatively, I am also available to Photoshop us in to Disneyland photos for a reasonable price too. Me, you and Mickey waving big wads of cash with a big 'Fuck TGC' sign layered on.
  10. Ahhh... I need to check with Nicola to see if I wrote out what she told me to write correctly. Brb
  11. Am I too late to enter by the way? My birthday is 12/05/80 and I was born 6.7 seconds in to that day so my guess will be £12580.67
  12. I've missed this place. This has been a fantastic read, currently got a beer and a pack of doritos and watching an internet fight unfold. At my age Saturday nights don't get much better. Keep going mates
  13. Its all I knew my adult life too, I quit over 5 years ago then lost a substantial amount just over a year ago and not gambled since. I guess, even for my best efforts I would still count myself as an addict but it I've also gone long periods without gambling so it can be done. I'm glad you've found some kind of happy medium though where you know your limits. Whatever works for you! There is a lot more to help now though as you said, gamstop and numerous charities are now in place so that's something to remind someone of even if they've lost a lot or are in trouble. I'm glad you did share your own story and theres things I can reference in there in the future hopefully. Again, thanks a lot!
  14. Damn, it seems like gambling has had a big hold of you for a long period of your life. Thanks for sharing that and for your honesty. Do you feel like you could ever just stop? I mean completely stop and not just limit yourself? I find it odd how we carry on despite how many negatives it brings us, I was the same for many years. I think the biggest thing I can take from your story is how addiction can have such longevity and how it can dictate the rest of you life. Ive also not really met or spoke to someone who was that deep in greyhound betting, the effects are all the same though regardless what youre betting on. I assume the youth of today are more interested in football betting, such is the way advertisement is but in reality it's all the same. Appreciate your input mate! Hope things go well for you in the future.
  15. Wise words there Solario. I'm not sure what we can do to change society as a whole though, it's just a sad state at the minute I guess. I think the younger generation for all their naysayers are trying to change, they are lot more forward thinking than days gone by and although social media is awful, it does have its uses and you see a wave of young people using it to good use and highlighting big issues. I think when I was younger I didn't realise how much gambling could have a hold over you. The lure must be worse nowadays with the increase in advertisement though. Appreciate your input mate, hope youre well.
  16. For sure, any stories of gambling helps because every situation is different to my own and will put me in a better position when giving advice. Really appreciate it!
  17. This is very true. Things have changed dramatically since I was young. Gambling habits have changed too, horse racing is probably out of favour and slots/football has taken over in terms of younger gamblers. Thanks man
  18. Hey, thanks a lot for your help. Its more to do with what advice we would give our younger selves if that makes sense. Do you think you could of said anything to a younger you to change your ways a bit? For sure anything will help though, its good to hear others experiences and relay that back to the youth. Appreciate your time man!
  19. Hey you. That for sharing your story kinks. Appreciate it! I didn't even know you had a problem with gambling before. I guess in some cases it can make you a better person for it which is what has happened with you I guess so its a big learning curve in life. I hear when you're saying though, there doesn't have to be any event that triggers someone to gamble excessively. Addicts don't particularly have have set group with as all walks of life can go through it. Glad you've curbed your addiction now though and you're in a better place. I'm expecting some people to tell me to piss off don't worry, people do that to me anyway so it makes no difference to me Thanks again!
  20. You seem to have much more knowledge about this than me Cheryl. If you get time then drop me a message if you can. Really appreciate it!
  21. Hi Andy, thanks for the response. I actually agree with you so not controversial at all. The moat difficult part will be trying to get through to someone. That isn't really limited to young people either. At my worst there was nothing anyone could of said to make me stop. Having said that, people who approached me in my younger years were usually paid to do so or didn't even gamble themselves. I am hoping that the relatable factor will play a part, being a fellow student and not some dickhead in a suit getting paid with no real understanding of hardship may help. I'm not going to be giving anyone of a lecture. I'm there if they need help or even for someone to talk to discreetly I guess.
  22. Thanks a lot mate, hope you're good. I guess maybe advice you would give your younger self would be cool. I'm assuming the demographic I shall be speaking to will be either those with both a gambling problem and those who may be at risk. I won't be shoving anything down anyone's throat to non gamblers so they would at least be curious to approach me in the first place. Cheers!
  23. Great advice david. Hope you're well too mate! I guess there's a lot more to do and a lot more opportunity for people of a certain age as you've said so that's a good one. I too missed out on a lot due to my gambling. Much appreciated!
  24. Someone edit my post please. I have put buffering instead of buggering. I use buggering a lot too as I do a lot of it so this is very confusing how autocorrect would ever think it needed to be changed.
  25. Alright fudgers. Hope everyone is well. Although I'm officially retired from being a gambling dickhead and all TGC trolling activities I do need some help from you lovely people if you have a minute/idea. I'm currently a 'mature' student and have been given an opportunity in the next few months to talk to people about problem gambling on site with these talks specifically being aimed at younger people. There was mentions of having some kind of society too but honestly I feel its a waste because what young person wants to go to anti gambling club. I'm guessing the general idea is to have a present at events there and giving guidance to anyone who needs/asks for it outside of that. The favour I ask is a simple one, I'm just looking for advice you would give younger people regarding gambling. Obviously, I have my own ideas regarding this and had many troubles as a youth but it never hurts to get opinions from others I can pass on. Maybe you were a complete tosser like me and you would of stopped or done things differently if something was said to you. I'm looking for any input really if you have any, whether you have a problem past of present. Maybe you have a good way of managing money and gambling and have advice to keep yourself from doing your balls in. I must also add, I won't be paid for this. The university wishes to collaborate with a gaming charity and an application has been put in for a 'paid' position but even if this comes to fruition I will be refusing any payment. I'm only making this clear as I don't want people to think I'm doing it for self gain. I only offered up for this 'role' because someone put me forward for it and I figured I could help out. Anyway, hope you're all good. This is not a miller comeback style post by the way. I'm taking any info I get off you and buffering off back to the gambling wilderness. Much love.
