Lost a grand goday. Feeling really gutted.
Overdrawn......a grand could of paid for a lot instead of 5 hours playing toss games in the bookies. What a loser.
What makes it worse is that I have a great wife and lovely daughter. I was in the bookies instead of working or spending time with her.
Done over 20k over the years and recently started getting worse again.
Have about 9k in debt now to pay off and this overdraught will take some time to pay off to.
Just wanted to post this in hope that someone reada this post.
Still feel like going in tomorrow and chasing some money back......what a b******d.
You win some but you always lose much more.....
Hi Gennaro,

You mentioned you feeli like chasing......, which contracdics what you mentioned earlier; that you know you should be 'spending time with your 'great wife and lovely daughter'.
