Hi all,
I'm a 26 year old with a full time work from home job, battling Chronic fatigue syndrome which prevents me from doing a few things. I stumbled on matched betting a few years ago and had no real compulsion to go above the instructions when it came to wagering on casino or sportsbook offers.
The sportsbook offers don't get me at all, sports betting has never had a huge pull for me and I don't have any issues controlling urges with that side of a bookmaker. I had a few big wins in the casino and that's where it all kicked in, as I'm sure you all know, no matter how much I won, I lost all that and then some back into the bookie. The money doesn't seem real to me anymore. A lot of sportsbooks shut me down which left me only casino offers remaining. Whilst they can be profitable for some, if I was down I would chase losses and gamble my winnings.
I'm now in debt and have blown this months wage on Blackjack yet again. Once I open the game, I can't pull myself away. I tell myslf I'll just play a few £1 hands then the stakes get bigger and bigger, before you know it i've lost everything and i'm emptying my bank account to redeposit and chase losses. It's spiralled completely out of control. I need to get a grip of things and I hope this can be the first step on that path.
Any advice or guidance is greatly appreciated
Many thanks
