Ok, so here goes, I am giving these sites no more of my money, i did post my story on the over coming problem gambling section, so you may have already read it.
To cut a long story short, i had a big win (not really a win, it was only the money i'd spent over time anyway) but it was enough money for me to clear all my debt and start a fresh.
Well low and behold, i tucked into some of the winnings (being greedy and trying to make more money) Luckily i didn't spend all of the winnings, far from it really but i could of easily spent it all, anyway, now instead of a massive chunk of debt, i only have 1,700 to pay back, so instead of gambling and loosing it all, I'm just going to work hard and get that debt paid off, and start a better much happier life.
The past few days ive been on such a downer, ive developed boils on my body and come out in cold sores (run down i think) All this stems down to me being so angry wit myself that i could be totally debt free from that win, but nooooo, i had to keep going and now im still left with debt, I'm so gutted and now wish i hadnt been so stupid, But whats done is done and i need to move on.
great post i totally agree. ive been in a position where i could have been debt free and financial stable instead i chose to be greedy and want more then i lost everything. like you said you gotta just work hard and everyday you dont gamble look at it as a win.

Yeah guess the worst thing that could of happened to me was winning a jackpot. Was nothing major and yeah they got all back and much more over time. Maybe think of banning from them sites and putting some type of gambling security on your computer. Never really did any online gambling but think there something called k9 and bet filter out there. Welcome
Good morning,
DAY 2 🙂
Feeling more positive this morning, still money and debt where the last things on my mind before i went to sleep last night, but i guess thats just the guilt of knowing if i hadn't been so stupid *again* i could have put all this behind me.
Hope you guys are all well, i am going to try and get on here daily to update my diary.
Hi change,
Thanks for the post in my diary, this site will help a lot if you let it the people on here are an amazing support. Same as you i have had 1 amazing win and got greedy and threw it all back in when it could have made me debt free and it is sickening but that gambling mist gets ya! The 1st thing you have done is just admit that the money is gone and you have to let it go otherwise it will drive you insane!
Good luck to you
jess 🙂
Yeah the would of's, could of's, and should of's will eat ya up if ya let them. Kick them thoughts to the curb.
I wasn't going to come on here today as i feel rather pathetic! i didn't stay clean for very long , back up to my old tricks already. This time i did win, and am now "again in the space of about a week" debt free, ive gone from being in debt by a very large amount, to winning most of that money back, to then going to back to being in debt,by a significant amount less than it was originally, but debt is still debt, and now because i gave in already and gambled again, I now have enough funds to be debt free. This time i withdrew all the money and closed yet another account.
So for me, Tomorrow will have to be another new day, not sure if i can do this, i do really want to stop, but when i get the idea of gambling in my head, nothing else matters, i just go for it (and most of the time regret it).
So again, i have been given yet another chance (like last week) I am now (well will be when the money goes in my bank) debt free and have some left over.
Ive decided this time to thing about the things i need to buy with that money, i really want to buy new carpet for my grandad's flat, i could of carpeted his flat 100 times over with the amount of money i stake on this d**n roulette, So my plan is to get that done for him, I love him to bits and always see that he is alright,so this time i will put that money to good use.
Sorry if you read this post and are dissapointed with the outcome, Tomorrow is a new day.
Similar story here. I won 9.5k in March, spent 4k on debt and lost the rest. I now still owe 5k.
I realise now that no matter what I win I'll always give it back trying to win more.
Wish you luck mate
Change, winning is more damaging than loosing. Even a small amount will get your mind thinking that you can beat the bookies but eventually your luck will run out and you will be back in debt. Please stay gamble free, find something else to replace this such as video games or a tv box set.
I've actually just purchased football manager 14 hoping it will eat up my free time and keep that excitement factor. All the best. Rst.
Just dont go back mate...stay out of it.this is the road it cost me two companies ,and severall friendships,if you can,dont go back,even if you losing even if you think you are winning you will win the day you stop going there...stay strong!
Hi change
Take the money and run otherwise you will never win in the end the more you win the more you lose you have come near to clearing your debts
Clear them
Walk away and then you have won
Keep strong and win
