Symbol Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 5 hours ago, Miller26 said: Hi guys I thought I owed it to a lot of you just to explain why I had a break and why I can not be on here anymore. A little over a month ago I did my complete bollocks in which left me completely broke. I know it's not exactly bread line but I basically had about £5 to last me for a week. I ended up in a very dark place and almost lost my job of over 20 years. I haven't gambled since and never want to gamble again. Going forward I want to warn and help people with the dangers of gambling in anyway I can. I no longer agree with affiliation / advertising in the gambling industry as I've seen first hand the damage it has and is causing. I wish everyone of you all the best apart from you affiliates/ content makers. Ps I'll be around for a few hours We could all be the same person literally the only difference is our post count but I'll be catching you eventually In all seriousness though I relate to you on this and wish you well and hope the struggle ends soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) An Ode to Miller. There once was a forum member called Miller, Allegedly, so I heard, a serial killer, Miller certainly is rather very naughty, He's left a trail of dead ho's down the M40, When not out killing the dirty whores, Miller was known to back a few horses and correct scores, He'd back them all night long from Wolverhampton to Mountaineer Park Baby Shark, doo doo doo doo doo doo Baby Shark Edited September 1, 2019 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergj24 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 good luck moving on from gambling, but not entirely sure why your blame lies on affiliation I presume you gambled before you saw streamers play? noticed you mention high stakes i'm guessing your blaming your increasing stake on them... but to me its a natural progression a lot of people gradually increase there stake. I guess we all like to blame others. all the best with not gambling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify, miller wasn't blaming affiliation etc for his gambling problem It was purely his opinion of affiliation and advertising. It was just his way of warning people not to get lured in by affiliation/advertising incentives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirbetsalot Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Late to the party but all the best @Miller26 I’m on my own attempt to stop gambling for good which is why I’m never on the site anymore or in the competitions, this way works for me as I avoid anything that might lure me in or tempt me to put a bet on. I don’t hold anything against affiliates of other people who like to gamble, I’m just not lucky or smart enough to win. I’ve closed all my online accounts and that’s done me the world of good. Wish you all the best and hope this is the beginning of a long period for you where you’re not wasting money of gambling 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I've not even looked at a horse race since I stopped back in May. Hope you feel you can stick around as plenty of non gambling relating stuff to chat about. And we help each other in our quest to quit Edited September 8, 2019 by david1111 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely think it was just a warning to others. Maybe if he does return at some point he can clarify his comments 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if he does return at some point he can clarify his comments fair enough.. and tbh I don't know him from you so I guess his emotions where probably quite high at the time of posting If hes just been through a rough patch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureDogToffee Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I think most of us can relate to this. At some point we have been lower than a snakes ball bag, the good thing is you can only go up from there. Good luck for your future in what you do and well done for giving up the smokes.
