Hello

Just as a note it seems to be roulette in general. I've self excluded from every casino on the gambling apps I have. Again such as poker. I'm a semi decent poker player. Make good money while playing online. Then I'll go straight to roulette. Same live in a casino. I can't walk past the roulette without thinking yea lets have a spin.

I'm not even bothered about blackjack. I think it's the high odds and the big payouts that I'm attracted to. Yet I'll back horses and football at 1.9 (10/11) happily with £20 but roulette. I need £20 per number. I hate it. Any advise on getting off roulette I would love. Thankyou again.

Hi, I'm new here myself and like you it's the roulette that ruins me! I can start with £20, make my way up to £200+ but then I just bet bigger and bigger until it all goes wrong..... Taking a small amount never appeals to me because I always chase that dream of thousands. I guess the longer you play the lesser the odds with the roulette!

I don't really have any suggestions in terms of quitting all together, but maybe the constant stories of heartache and pain on here can work as a deterrent?

Best of luck!

Hey mate. Yes it's stupid. I'm not even happy when I win. You're probably the same? If you do walk out with let's say £1000-2000 which I've done numerous times. You just kinda know it's gonna be gone in he next week or so? It's horrible.

I want to just learn to walk past. As I said. The knowledge of what it feels like to lose £2000 in less than 30 minuites should be enough. But it never is. I'd love to be like the majority who can place some bets. And leave. Not me. I get lured in by the numbers that haven't come out etc.

Here's to the future. Hopefully roulette free from now.

Yer, I hope you get there Matt!!

I always gamble with a plan of buying something expensive with the winnings... Maybe a Rolex watch or sommet daft, but the reality is that if I did one day get one id probably sell it a month or two down the line to fund my habit!

The truth is you never see a poor bookie..... And those machines account for about 70% of the bookies income or sommet stupid! Makes you feel stupid knowing that and still giving them thousands hey! I'm just taking it from here and hoping that the regular horror stories keep the urges at bay!!

I'm the same. I've got credit card bills soley from fobts. I was stood with £2000 at the Machine today. Saying right £1000 off card. £1000 on holiday. Then £800 off card £1000 holiday. Then £500 holiday £500 card. Then £500 off card no holiday. Then walking out swearing at myself trying to hide my emotions as I'm driving.

I just want it to stop. Good luck on you're journey pal.

I feel your pain Matt.... I'm hoping that maybe one day the machines are banned but I doubt it will ever be the case. The bookies must love the likes of us.... Mugs that keep returning and only stopping when the bank says no..... Mad eh!! The worse thing is, I think I could win the lottery and still ruin myself gambling if i don't find the correct triggers to make it stop! Let's just hope we get there with it!
