jamesisaac17 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) Hi guys my name is James I live in Wales i'm broke and I've fully accepted myself as a gambling addict and the age of 19, I started gambling at about 16 and I've been chasing my initial £10 loss for almost 3 years now and I don't really have any plans of quitting anytime soon. I know its bad but I've tried many times to quit to no avail, you could say I enjoy gambling too much to quit but that's what all gamblers say . Enough with the gambling addiction rampage like i'm on a gamblers anon forum. My main poison is live roulette, blackjack and baccarat. not really into slots I just don't really enjoy them. I've been a regular viewer of Rocknrolla now for a year and love his table games content. I unfortunately wont be posting in the big wins section of this forum because I'm extremely unlucky and have never had a ''big win'' the biggest win I've had is £120 from £20 which is pretty sad considering I've racked up 3 figure's in losses. feel free to ask questions (not like you'd want to) take care.

Welcome mate! 3 figures in losses, I don't think there is a single person on here that wouldn't want to trade their loss numbers to yours, so see it as a blessing and fudge it all off before it gets worse! It can and will spiral out of control if you carry on this path, 19 mate try and focus on something else and put those blocks on which will help take some temptation away! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are still young and can take action and stop gambling before it goes out of hand and you feel how 5, 6, or even 7 figures losses are over your gambling years like a lot people on this forum have experience with. If you already feel you are an addict and only lost that much then use gamstop, close down all the casino accounts and stop gambling before its too late for you. Good luck. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im really sorry I just realised I made a mistake when writing that, I meant to say 4 figures not 3 figures. Im down roughly £1,600. Need to correct that mistake. But honestly I'm already in the hole and I dont think I really have enough willpower to quit it completely. I do use deposit limits that help keep it as fun as possible but I've definitely had my major tilt, blow my pay check on the zero section days. take care Also even if I did use gamstop I would find lots of other ways to gamble, crypto and CS:GO skins included.

If you feel bad over losing 1600 then use it as a way to stop before you end up as @crazyrightmeow said sitting there with 6 or 7 figure losses. I have known people who have lost their homes as well. Activate gamstop ASAP and block gambling transactions through your bank as well. I would say plenty of us on here wish we could have stopped at 19 and not left it until it we had lost relative fortunes. It you do not stop no matter how your career progresses or how much you earn you will still always be broke as a gambler. All of us know gambling is fun but with some of us know that it can also inflict an awful lot of misery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solario333 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Obviously its easy to spend £100 in ten minutes online, or in the bookies , and the lure of easy money is real , so as a gambler with vast experience ,I would give you the following advice. 1. Keep your bank accounts separate from your gambling account. 2. Set deposit Limits. 3. Eat properly . 4 walk in nature and change your lifestyle. 5. rest between days of gambling , so that you do not lose your whole bankroll in one go. 6. Pay all your bills as soon as you get paid . 7. Share your problem with those who love you . Let them help you control your finance. 8. Never chase ...... its a bad move . 9. don't stay up all night gambling , you will need your energy for work. 10. DONT BORROW FROM FAMILY OR FRIENDS ---- BECAUSE YOU WILL END UP LYING TO THEM . 11. recognise you are the Problem ,and you are the solution. 12 . if gambling is controlling your life then either take a prolonged break , or GAMSTOP ASAP 13 . don't blame yourself . Regret nothing -- just make decisions that improve the quality of your life. This is a copy of an answer I gave for this problem to another member !! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great advice Brother @Solario333, @jamesisaac17 were all ages on here kid, the older guys have lived ur life many times over so it pays to listen to some good advice. Just remember Albert Einstein couldn’t beat the roulette wheel so what chance do we stand!, You’ve seen Rollas wins but he still openly tells everyone he’s still down a helluva lot of money. Take care young man, if you see @philinvicta anywhere in Wales please do me a favour and smash him over the head with a stool if it’s handy 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gkell727 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Most here would love to go back and change their trajectory at 19. Even at 30 I question some choices I’ve made. Gambling is a vice at the end of the day and anything you can’t control will have a negative affect long term. best advice anyone can give you is don’t bother gambling but we’ve all been told it and it’s not resonated. Far better things for you to spend your cash on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most his lifetime loss is a bad weekend. Truth of the matter is he has an opportunity most don’t, he’s young and can stop now. Should grasp it with both hands. My gambling now isn’t even about winning or losing, it’s mostly part of my routine. Gambling has never impacted me financially but if I could turn the switch to never gamble again I’d do it in a heart beat.
