I know it sounds mad, but this has worked wonders for me!
I used to roughly spend £50 a week by specifically going into the bookies (in an attempt to not use online apps) and putting coupons on the Friday for the weekend.
Then when I lost the bets I’d download any new app I hadn’t already self-excluded from already and spend much more. Sometimes £1K/£2K over a weekend when I delved into online Blackjack.
When my son was born I knew I had to make a change. I signed up to GamStop for all the online apps and I’ve set up a standing order to a savings account of £100 a week called “Weekly Winnings” The money rolls in and you get the thrill of money coming into your account, but it’s technically just money you’ve not wasted on bets.
Might sound daft, but since starting this I’ve “won” £1600 by stopping all betting. In my head now it’s money I would’ve lost anyway.
I hope this helps somebody in need. Keep up the good fight.
