Hey just going to tell my story about my expierence of gambling.
Starting Gambling
Before I was 18 I was intrested in poker, as soon as I turned 18 I started playing. On my first weekend I turned 30 pound into 500 winning a tournament my luck continued and I was a couple of thousand up within a few months. This made me think I was amazing but It was more luck. I continued winning but kept increasing my stakes. Eventually I was playing heads up for large amounts and as soon as I lost, I would buy in at a higher stake. One night I ran bad and lost my whole bank balanace which was around 5k.
I have lost my bank balance a couple of times and have done crazy gambles, Playing a 8k blackjack hand and heads up poker for 5K. I played for the excitement which I was lacking and to cure bordem.
I have spoke to gam care a hand full of times and have always found them helpfull and acted on advice. I tried setting up a betting syndicate to replace gambling by advicing others and lots of other stuff. The best way I have found is to find other stuff to occupy my time.
Currently i haven't gambled since january where I lost a heavy amount. I don't think about gambling and don't think I ever will again purely because I understand no gambling or betting is beatable. I have made a account on here to post advice and read other people's storys.
