Has anyone using this site been able to control what they gamble on? For example can you not bet on horses and just bet on football. Or even feel you don't lose as much as you used to but still spend a lot of time gambling? I am just curious...Any replies would be appreciated...
Best Wishes
Hi neowallace
Everyone is different, different stories and experiences, some people have never bet on tennis matches in estonia or virtual greyhounds but have problems when it comes to FOBT's
You will read a lot if advice on here about the need to give up all formd of gambling in order to move forward
Personally i find this a very difficult thing to accept, I have (had?) a big problem with roulette on the FOBT's in the bookies. That was my ONLY problem part of gambling that I had, the only other things i really gambled on were football and once in a blue moon an odd horse racing bet.
so.... in april i banned myself from the bookies near my house (then one from near where i work). To cut quickly yo the point I have not played an FOBT since 1st May. I estimate ive probably saved myself at least 500 quid. Howver i have allowed myself an odd bet on the foorball (I have an app on my phone with a bookmaker). Im not in profit with this but its not a big problem as i feel in control of what im doing.
I sometimes think am (was?) i really a compulsive / problem gambler like others on here?
I think i am(was?) its just that there is (was?)only one form of gambling that I had problems with. Other compulsive gamblers will be unable to control what they are doing with ANY forms of gambling.
Maybe you could explain your story??
