today is my 11th day gambling free. No urge at all to go to a bookies, interesting to watch the panorama report on FOBT, in no way can I believe over average it has a payback of 97%. Same online with online casinos. Does seem to be rigged when bets are upped, however I am glad I have self excluded, I still have my savings with my sister, I do have an urge to invest on the stock market which of course is still a form of gambling and I can trace my recent relapses coming from using profits from stocks as a way to fund betting. I wonder if other gamblers have also been drawn to the stock market and still have an urge to trade even though they feel comfortable about not stepping into a bookies ever again which at present I do. Big test for me will be payday of course
