Hey, I've been gambling recently playing roulette, and had a huge win when I just started this year, fast forward to today, I lost all my winning, all my savings, all of my stocks investments, and of course my bank account.Â
The money from investments is the money I borrowed from my friend and have to return it in April, there is no way I could make that money back anytime soon, and im not sure at all about what I am supposed to do. I can't tell my family as they are all very against gambling and would literally go crazy. Im £3000 pounds in debt now. Of course it hurts, but my bank account and savings are not my priority, my priority is paying back the friend, and im totally clueless on what to do. I am so mad that even after my winnings, I barely spent a penny on my self, and just went back a few days later, for absolutely no reason. I didn't need more money, I wasn't addicted, but once I lost my winning, I started chasing chasing and chasing, where I would occasionally win sometimes, make all my money back, and then id still proceed to go a few days later, until yesterday I had enough and put my self on SENSE and GamStop
You need to install GamBan.Â
There are casinos that can be accessed still which aren't on GamStop and so you need to block these too and this is the only way to do so.Â
GamCare are partnered with GamBan and will foot the bill. I recommend picking 5 years.
You need to accept what you have done and consider the money lost as spent on an expensive lesson as to why you shouldn't gamble again.
You definitely don't ever want to try gambling to win anything back. This would only result in you chasing another big win if you were successful and most likely losing it all over again or it would just make your financial situation worse.
As gamblers we tell ourselves we would know to walk away if we could miraculously win it back but we never do.Â
How much have you lost out of interest?
It sounds like a serious loss and so I would definitely look into speaking with an advisor from GamCare.
I can't advise on the family situation but you may have to tell them, it sounds like you will need to tell your friend to work something out and it's better it coming from you than him if they are to find out.
All the best.
Please stay gamble free!
