So after gambling on and off for many years, recently I've been on a good streak, I've played it, I've walked away. On Friday after a win, I walked. The following day I basically put all that back in and the machine was playing dreadful. Normally I'd chase until I lost everything but this time I decided to call it a day after losing all the profit from the day before. A few times I've put 3 times that amount in. For the past 3 days I've had the urge to go try and win that loss back but I've resisted. I'm more of a problem gambler than an addict. I normally lose big and then not gamble at all for months until I've saved that money back and then end up in same cycle. This time I've decided not to chase that loss and I wouldn't even have that money anyway if I hadn't gambled Friday. I'm still up from previous sessions so trying to stay positive about that. Just annoyed at myself I guess

Hi there.
That was the exact reason for my heavy losses too, and that is the reason I can never gamble in a healthy way (if there is such way). I could win few hundreds one day, next week lose just £50, and get so annoyed about this that I would gamble away everything in a losing streak.
Moral of the story: We cannot gamble in a healthy way. I would suggest you put all possible restrictions and not gamble at all. Think about that in the long term YOU WILL ONLY LOSE. No matter how much you are up for a period, if you carry on, you will only lose.
Stay strong, keep yourself and mind busy with other stuff and live gamble free!

If you have made it to this site then your highly likely a addict that needs recovery time away from gambling. Recovery is more than stopping gambling it's also self improvement of ones self that goes beyond gambling itself. You are probably unaware of the damage you may be creating on yourself and potentially others.
.or just go ahead and keep gambling your life away, the choice is yours alone

@ticap6y5hs I'm feeling a bit better now. I'm angry at myself for losing that much and should have known when to stop. It's just the few days after when you're battling your own head not to go try win it back and accept the loss. I go through stages where after I lose, I won't gamble at all for months and then slowly get back into it and end up having a big loss. I'm going to have to cut it out completely because I can't lose even £10 and walk away. I don't even like gambling but don't know why I do it. Think it's because when I need money for something, I think I can win that money for whatever it is so I don't have to spend. Pretty stupid really
@san86 I can resonate with your answer. It is exactly like this, but let me give you a piece of advice, in the long term you are only going to be minus in your bank account. It is like a chart that goes downhill consistently in the long term (it has its ups but the end result is negative), so if you don't like gambling, and also lose money and play compulsively, there is only one way, to stay away for good. Stay strong!
