Forgive me if all the following is old-hat, but since joining the site a few days ago I have been thinking a lot about the strategies I have (and will) take to beat this parasitic gambling habit. My gambling takes the form of online slots, so:
1. Self-exclude from every site I can possibly think of. Of course we all know there is a way of getting round this with new sites appearing all the time, so...
2. Install a blocking software programme and don't make a note of the password!
3. Eat well, sleep more and get out in the fresh air.
4.. Remember those TV ads with a certain well-known betting site boss always chiding that very irritating punter? Well he was always shown in very luxurious surroundings - a fabulous Paris hotel, Monte Carlo, his horseracing stables. Now I just imagine him, and all other gaming bosses, living the life of Riley ON MY MONEY! It works for me anyway.....
Peace and good wishes to all.
Nice post.
The best strategy of all - don't play! A sure way to accumulate money and save heartache.
Best wishes
Dave
