I have had enough of this b******t gambling always try to chase my losses. And then end up even more losses. This gambling started from me a couple of year ago back then I use to gamble 300quid or more that’s if I had the money I would lose it and get over it in about 2 weeks time or so. But since I started university I failed my first year in uni because of gambling which I had lost four and half thousand pounds over the months and failed the course I was sad and depressed. But then I manage to kick it back and start over. I ended up saving back money and I managed to save about 13 thousand pounds. Which one day I decided to go in to the bookies and play. Which led me to lose about 300quid. I had never played online gambling and I got introduced to it by a friend who played it I always like to play with cash not digital but then I made a account with b****5 and starting gambling to try and chase my 300quid which I had lost. End enddled up loading 4 thousand pounds. That’s not the worst part of it all I then quit when I had lost that money and I didn’t want to lose everything like I did in my first year in uni. So after two months I had been looking at cars which I always been in to cars. And bought my self a very nice Bmw 330d lci m sport for my first car I was happy that I had spend the reaming abit money on a car which I always wanted. This is my luck now read this next bit I had done all checks when I bought the car from hpi to everything. 2 weeks down the line police come and say that this car is a stolen car and you have been a victim of a scam. I payed 5k goes this car in cash and the police took it away from me left me with no car and no money. The guys I bought the car of had done one and phone was off. I basically got scammed out of 5k I felt to depressed that’s I was having suiceld thoughts I had never been so deep that’s I was getting scared that I was gone do something stupid. Since that happend I have been so low and depressed knowing that I actually spend the money on something which I liked and got scammed of 5k I feel so low I just want to speak to someone or I don’t know what to do anymore.
Since this was theory happend to me. I have reported to police but they have not done anything. It been two months since the car is gone I felt so low and depressed about loosing this car I cannot believe what happend to me. After loosing thousand on gambling. This had happend to me. When I bought this car I felt like I had achieved something rather then gamble and not have nothing. But this is my LUCK these people scammed me out of 5k what is my life i dint deserve this? And since then I have gambled 1.5k of the money I had left now I have nothing nothing. Kissing the car was the biggest loss of my life I still will never get over this. After all the years of dreaming about cars I bought my self I very nice car for a first car it was Bmw 330d lci 2009 plate fully loaded. I was so happy I bought something and this showed me that not to spent money on gambling. But I guess that wasn’t meant to be fore me too. Someone please help me here all to together I am in a loss of 10 grand? I feel like killing my self because of this buslllhit.. I shouldn’t have to go though this.. I feel pain in my head and anger but ore pain in my mind. I was a happy guy since all this started i she. Stop talking to a lot of friends i feel i cannot trust anyone anyone.. look what made me in to this.

The worst part of it was been scammed out of this all money. I couldn’t believe that after all I bought something which I wanted. And they got taken of me. Wow just wow these people that done this to me I will let god take that in his own hands. I can’t do anything I just hoped I got the car back but unfortunately that’s not going to happen. Gambling so much money in past and when I decided what to do with money this had happend has this happend to anyone please talk to me guys?
Hello Azrar. Just wanted to say that sounds really rough and feel bad that has happened to you. As s**t as it is, time will heal it. I can't yet follow this advice true, not in the slightest, but when you do improve a bit and do gamble, find a way to cap it at an amount that isn't going to make you want to chase. Find a way to completely force yourself to not go over a limit. As this is usually extremely difficult, overall the scar will heal faster and definitely with more certainty by not gambling anymore and adding to the pain.
Really s**t that happened to you, you can let it go and it'll seem like a distant nightmare one day if you let it.

sorry to jump on this thread but the OP obviously wants to never gamble again so i would say dont take the advice to give yourself a cap limit... if you want to quit it is cold turkey or nothing im afraid no half measures.... sounds horrible about the scam but we are technically all scammed by the bookies every day as lets be honest they are always the ones that come out as winners... the money is gone so you just have to forget about it and use this as a big learning curve... good luck with it
