no win situation

Thanks for post Jeff, I will consider your advice.

You are one of the guys on here who try and understand and appreciate others positions and provide constructive guidance and assistance.

Cheers mate - good luck with your approach which is obviously working for you and making you happier.

Hi Jeff , thanks for the message, and yes it can be hard. Somtimes not the actual quitting itself but also the other areas in life it effects. Hope all is good your end. All the best Blocked.

Hi Jeff,

Just wanted to say that was spot on what you posted on chippers diary about how would he have felt if the bets had lost, and he couldn't pay his mam back. You put it well, and made me think!

Glad pleasure (and golf) are returning to your life 🙂 I have much respect for you, quitting after 30 years of betting. High Five!!!!! you are doing brill!

Take care (kid),

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your recent post. Sorry for not replying sooner. I've been doing a lot of thinking over the last few days and i feel a lot better now.

I hope the golf is still going well. Any decent courses on the horizon?

Tell Mancini to keep his mucky paws off Pienaar, Arteta and Heitinga. Not a day seems to go by when one of our players is not being linked with a move to your place!

As Moyes will tell them though the grass is not always greener. Just ask Joleon Lescott!

Enjoy the world cup mate.

Thanks for the post jeff..appreciated as usual.we can do this 🙂

Hi jeff.

Stay Strong.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your post on my diary mate. I've decided to try and get as much time as possible on the course and try and get my game going. Curly has set me the challenge of beating 90 before the years out, so i'm gonna try my damnedest to achieve that. Gonna try and work a bit less and play a bit more. Playing on Sunday hopefully, will let you know how it goes.

Stay Strong

Hi Jeff,hope you've has a good week at work,and that you have a nice weekend,i guess like me you are looking forward to the England match tonight :),if you have a game of golf tomorrow i hope you have a good round.No need to mention anything about gambling to you mate...,you have that licked.

Hi Jeff, thanks for the post.

Remarkable the amount of time and effort you put in to posting on so many diaries, hats off to you mate.

I know I am getting a lot of good advice Jeff, but unfortunately there are some who are hoping I fail because I choose to do things a bit differently. However I will rise above them and succeed.

Guess you will watch Ascot this week with those virtual bets on again !

Tut tut tut, Captain - behave!! I'm certain not one person on here would want you to fail!!

How am i going to play golf this morning ,with this hangover? lol.

Hmmm not the most convincing ive ever seen England.Although i think themselves and USA will both go through eventually.

Im sure there are lots of gamblers out there who had England 1-0 or even Gerrard to score first plus 1-0.Then came the big howler,the bookies saviour.Im sure the blunder would have helped less gamblers than foiled their bets.It always seems to work that way.

Anyway i think maybe a big breakfast to sort out that hangover.No gambling urges at all and im enjoying the world cup.One small piece of advice to all newcomers.

dont use the football as an excuse to bet ,but use it as something to relieve your boredom.It only happens every 4 years enjoy it dont spoil it by betting on it.All the best Jeff.

Hi Jeff,

I had a big hangover yesterday morning, you have my sympathies. To answer your question about how your going to play golf this morning. The answer is.. badly! lol

Its just like you say with the football. Its a spectacle to be enjoyed blunders and all.. it was a bad one though.. even I could have kept that out.. maybe.. possibly 🙂

Thanks for your support on my diary.. S.A

Hey Jeff,

Just popping by to say hello, hope the golf blows the cobwebs out a breakfast sounds awesome.... in fact you have just changed my whole morning as I am going to find a cafe.

Have a great day now!

Cheers, Jim

Hi jeff,

hope you didnt stink at golf today!

Lots of gamcare comrades have been hard at the bottle this weekend! Glad it doesn't seem to have interfered with your recovery.

Take care,

Hi Jeff,

How's the golf go this morning mate? I went round in a 107 which isn't terrible for me but leaves plenty of room for improvement lol.

Good to see that you've been able to abstain from betting even though you have been in the bookies once or twice. Very commendable.

Stay Strong
