Brownman24 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Hello All, as a “pick my winners” hasn’t been possible I just thought I’d give everyone an update to how I’m doing!.. please note that this isn’t me thinking I’m important etc but I’ve distanced myself from my gambling mates so it’s just good to get it off my chest every now and again! So I was doing £50/100 a month free the gamstop but in early April I lost near enough a month’s salary which is very stupid as I was working away during lockdown I met the girl that has finally been able to tame me... I updated my ankle injury but sadly I had some bad health in early April that I’m still recovering from and it made me think how typical of a dirty compulsive gambler to go through a bit of a rough patch and use that as an excuse to gamble and people down... ive put multiple things in place including a standing order of sending 80% of my wages to the missus and having a small deposit limit in place so I can bet on sport that I actually have half a clue about potentially a chance of actually winning! I posted a big win on here so just wanted to come clean and give an honest update 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymitzy Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) Great mate! The best part is the finding of the girl that can tame u as she must be worth it pal... don’t usually comment too much but I’ve gotta say ur a top guy and I know that first hand. Don’t wanna put what (as u would have random inboxes I’m sure off every fudger) but u tried to help me when u thought I needed it (even tho it’s great also kinda crazy haha) but I didn’t need it and that’s not the point. The point is u tried and made sure. I don’t forget those sort of things. I wish u all the best mate I really do Edited April 29, 2021 by Andymitzy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev40 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Good luck mate and wish you a speedy recovery. Years ago i had a gambling buddy who i literally met every day to go gambling with. Arcades bookies casinos you name it we were there. After about 3 years he met this lass and within probably 2 months he reduced his gambling by 99%. At first i was gutted he stopped coming with me but not long after i began to realise i was just been selfish missing my mate. I speak to him very rarely now but i wouldn't change anything. He is now married and has a daughter. Meeting this woman was the best thing that ever happened to him and even though it took a while I'm glad he met her and I'm proud of him for changing his life for the better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1111 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) Having someone else in your life that you care about takes the emphasis off gambling. It happens to a lot of people. Glad to hear that you're getting sorted though mate. Take it easy and in you're own wise words ''keep it stiff'' Edited April 30, 2021 by david1111 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player1173 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Glad to hear your back on the straight and narrow bud, and sorry to hear of the bad health. It took a good woman to put me in line so can relate to that 100%. Like you say stick to a few sports bets and keep it small just for some fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_B_123 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 80% of the money to the missus on payday - there's something we can all relate to! Take care bud 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maradonaz Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Hello friend, I hope you have a speedy recovery. It is time to take a break and put gambling in a secondary place in your life. After the measures that the government of my country is taking regarding casinos (remove promotions, investigate funds, restrict accounts and pay more taxes), I am also rethinking to stop gambling for a while ... there are other things in life that are more important ..I will continue through the forum but with fewer screens of wins and losses. A hug 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essorance! Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Get addicted to saving mate. On payday I can't wait to dump 80% of my wages into savings accounts now. Before I couldn't wait to throw it on zero section. Lifechanging decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
