Starting to feel pathetic

Is this bloke for real ?

Hi Onepunchjamoo

I do not think anyone on this site can really help you as you as the advice we can give is not what you want to hear. You seem to want advice on how to be a better gambler and walk away with more of your winnings rather than stopping. You will probably have more luck on a site dedicated to gambling strategies.

You seem determined to continue gambling and from the experience of the many on this site that is unlikely to end well for either you or your loved ones. I do struggle to understand how someone who has had to be bailed out by his girlfriend and is having difficulties finding work due to his previous gambling activities still thinks it is a good idea but trying to convince an active gambler of that is not easy as we do not see things rationally when we gamble.

All the advice above about giving up is valid and for every excuse about blocks not working there is always a stronger one but you have to want to stop so pulling blocks in place is currently probably pointless. Equally if someone does not want to really go to GA or counselling they will always find an excuse why it is too difficult.

One thing I would ask is that you do not take anyone else down with you and wreck their lives. Your girlfriend and family deserve to know that this is your decision to continue gambling so they know how financially entangled they want to get with you and allow them to protect themselves financially.

Keep posting. I have no ill feelings towards you because of your views, I just completely disagree with them.

I hope one day you will decide you want to stop gambling and come to this site for help.

Hands down one of the stupidest things I’ve ever read on the internet, part of me thinks this guy might even be a troll after that.

I've explained about blocks, you lot don't seem to understand that it will just make me angry an then I'll join another site or find a way around it or go to the nearest bookies I can and then I'll be even angrier and probably break a machine (again) or assault staff (again) I can't explain it more than that to be honest, it's safer I don't make myself desperate.

Thanks for being mature, it's nice to talk to someone who doesn't agree with you but can still be civil and polite.

How is that stupid progress? People who can do that would of had to of played it again and again for a very long time, they'd of done the same thing and then got better until they got the result they desired. Repetition is how a lot of things are learned so I think people need to realise Einstein was just a man and not take everything he said as gospel because that specific statement definitely isn't true in my eyes, it was maybe just his opinion.

I'm going to continue playing free games every day but I won't put any money I get on, I think that's a good place to start.

Dude, you're sick, get help. DENIAL is the main word that springs to mind. The addiction is so strong in you that it rebuts all of the great advice you've already received on here. I fear for you as it may take years of suffering for you - decades even - before you admit to yourself how sh11t gambling really is. We've all had wins when we were gambling but consistently over time, year in year out ? just doesn't happen mate. It's a mathematical certainty that you will lose over time. These gambling houses are businesses why would they spent six / seven figures on gambling sites / premises / staff / designing & running games etc just to give you money ? Ask yourself what it is that you are really escaping from, what other problems you have (it sounds like a lot) that you are using gambling as a vehicle to escape from. Then you might begin to make a little progress.

Without doubt a troll- hes posting for comments now.

Gambling isn't the problem. Like I've said I understand how business works and that casinos and sites make profits because they only give back a certain percentage and the longer you play the more likely you are to lose bla bla bla I know but nothing is CERTAIN. Someone could gamble every day for their entire life and win every day, it's not likely but it's POSSIBLE. You all have negative attitudes. I'm not escaping from anything, just trying to win easy money and live my life.

Just because I have a different opinion and I'm choosing to try live alongside gambling and I'm standing by my point, doesn't make me a troll, grow up.

I don't have an income and I currently just gamble on free games at the minute so as things stand now there isn't a problem.

I feel like the positive things you're saying aren't sincere.. maybe it's not super ideal but I'm not going to be losing any of my money playing free games every day so I think it's a huge step forward..

If someone can be swayed to gamble from the things I've said then I'm sure something else would of swayed them if they didn't read any of this.

I'm gonna stop posting for a bit now, I think we've reached a stand still and I'm just getting the same responses and apparently I'm a troll so yeah.

If things work out for me I'll give and update, if they don't, I'll update that too but it will be a while.

Sorry if my post sounded harsh.

But you come on talk about owing family and friends, talk about your credit rating been poor, talk about how you know you are a gambling addict but how you think you can do what millions of addicts cant and control it. You talk about breaking machines and assaulting staff!!!!!!! you talk about consolidating debts with loans and then spending the loans on gambling. All these are danger signs of a person with a severe problem.

Then in the next post you have this ridiculous attitude that you can make money out of it and enjoy it.

You are your own person im sure nobody will change your mind but i would strongly urge you to speak to someone.

Like I said, not overly sensitive so believe what you want, I don't mind. I'm not as bad as I used to be but I acknowledge I could do the things I've done before, again. I try to keep an open mind and consider different possibilities which maybe you should try too? I get he things I say might seem ridiculous but improbable isn't impossible.

I could make money out of it, anyone could.

But yeah just playing free games right now so although I gamble occasionally it will be with free bonus winnings and small scale.

[quote=Onepunchjamoo]. Deep down I know gambling isn't the answer, A direct quote from you...You know the answer already Onepunchjamoo and its not gambling as you said yourself

Guitar hero takes an element of skill and the repetition is classed as practice. I think someone nailing through the fires and flames isn’t remotely comparable to being addicted to risking cash in systems designed to take it from you. That takes zero skill, the odds are predetermined and stacked in the houses favour, play for long enough and you will lose everytime.

I apologise it took me so long to reply but I’ve only just got the opportunity to read your reply.

Odds don't mean anything, it's not a certainty you will lose. Maybe Einstein should of been more specific, you can do things that are just chance like roll a dice and try to get 6 3 times in a row and eventually it will probably happen. We're going off subject anyway, I think what Einstein said was wrong that's my point, sorry you didn't like my example.

I don't consider it gambling if I don't use my money so I'm basically gamble free ?

It is a certainty you will lose if you are a compulsive gambler because you cannot stop. Your girlfriend is who I worry about, getting a £1000 loan for a gambler after just 4 months of knowing you.
