It isn’t true in the slightest if you ask me, compulsive gamblers always want more is the problem they have, nothing is big enough, get to a grand you want 2 grand, get to 10 then you can get to 20, get to a million, well i could do 2 million and unfortunately, if you go that way, it will almost always end up at £0 won’t it.

Im not so sure. Personally ivd been in the state of mind (some call it tilt) where Ive gone out of my way to blow my balance as fast as I can so that I can redeposit and carry on blowing my balance.

For example, I have a 100 balance and start quickspinning £5 spins.. Lose the lot, redeposit another 100 and quickspin £10spins just to burn my money.

Its a sick place in my head but my trail of thought usually goes like.. “Well if ive just blown 100 that i cant afford, might aswell blow another 100” and Ive done this to the tune of a couple grand, mulitple times.

The entire time purposely doing stupid stakes to blow the lot.

I know that thinking well and it’s not helped by the fact every once in a while, you actually will get a miracle recovery off the last few quid. Loads of times over all the years I gambled I’d be hundreds down and somehow end up in a profit off my last tenner, sometimes less – the record being my last £2 on Casumo once leading to a £3k withdrawal a few hours later.

The worst is sizing.

 

Once spin size goes up, wins get bigger. After i hit the 20k on White rabbit in December, i won 3k the next week on Genie Jackpots, pulse didnt even move. Crazy.

I have limited myself im my own ways so I wont go mad, but the amount you earn as you move up really can make it risky when the stakes rise. Ive seen people on payday here lose 5k in 1 hour on 20quid novo spins. And then go back to life with nothing. Mental.

My take on it is that while you are losing your balance you feel the pain of losing and that pain kind of stops in a way when you’ve lost it all. So in that way, I agree that compulsive gamblers want to lose so they can no longer gamble any more and no longer feel the pain of losing.

The emotions then change to regret, guilt etc.
