Dear all,
I used to post on this site a number of years ago when i didnt go on a roulette machine for almost 3 years. I have started going on them again and lost thousands and thousands in the last few months. Had the odd win but nothing like i've lost. Can't admit to anyone about my problem but the urges to play in shop and online are worse than ever. I also bet on the horses and football but i want to stop for good.
I have a good job and little debt but this can soon change. I feel so stupid and ashamed!!

Thanks Deano, I haven't no and think i can do it off my own back like i did before. I went 3 whole years without stepping foot in a shop! The urge is so strong of late though and i can't seem to stop. I have self excluded from all the online betting firms but this vile roulette has crept back in to my life.
I need to stop and wonder if some sort of book will help me again as it did 3 years ago.
WAW.
It was a book about how people were broke or skint from betting, it wasnt long maybe 50 pages but really helped! Can't recall the name of it. It was a massive help and i need to get back to that mindset. I have wasted 50k plus over the last 10 years and it's time to stop. i love a football acca or a lucky 15 - that i can live with, it's just those crack C*****e machines that kill me and the online slots and so tempting.
Cheers Deano, i will have a browse. It's so demorolising the losing of money i could really use. Will try and knock it on the head or at least stop those conning machines and slots!
