HiÂ
im new to this site but anyway i joined GamStop 2 year ago and thought everything was going well but then started to get my Uncle to put football bets on for me 5 pound here and there. Its starting to ruin my relationship Mrs says im a totally different person and that killed me. Looking for advice
Hi there. First and foremost let’s nip this in the bud you have the best chance now of stopping this habit roll out of control  Stand back from your financial account get a very close family member to give you a small allowance then set up direct debits to savings accountÂ
Then it’s all the best lock outs from the whole range of gambling trust me one type leads to the other and in your spare time get useful volunteering at local community centre or a common project/hobby for the future you have this early so let’s***t it hard. Best
As someone who did football bets for over a decade and never saw it as a problem now I look back and realise it defenitley was a problemÂ
I can remember spending entire weekends Friday - Sunday , checking football fixtures , placing bets , watching football and checking scores all over the world
It became an obsession I would routinely lose 1-200 a week on football betsÂ
In the end it cost me a relationship because it was causing massive mood swings and me to completely neglect herÂ
There are people who let sports betting become their entire reason for existence
I decided earlier in the year I no longer want to be in that crowdÂ
