Thanks for sharing the video and I hope you put your winnings to good use.

Yeah the winnings are being spent on a house mate – the wife is making sure of that!

Hi Stevie / Bandit

I am a Paul to, based up North in Newcastle.

Congrats on this mega big win today and your lucky streak as of late. I just wanted to share a little story of my life as a bad gambler, demise and how I pulled myself back.  Seeing this vid rekindled thoughts of how I gambled and how enough never seems to be enough, remembering the one mega high of a lifetime you hit and failing to remember the dozens and dozens failed attempts trying and do it again.

I’m 41 now and through my twenties, I guess I must have staked and wasted around £100k+ could be even more at a rough guess through FOBTs, online poker and land-based casinos.

Some good days but it all quickly went back as losings in the end. Never knowing when to say when and cash out ahead

I went cold turkey at 30-31 and managed a few months until I relapsed again.

Told myself never again. It was this time I found about GOLD, since 2008-2009 I have bought investment gold every month, a gold sovereign here, a half sovereign there, 1/2 oz on a good month, a full oz of fine gold when work was good.

What this did was separate actual cash I could gamble and move it into another tangible thing with “value” that i couldn’t easily spunk away or spend. Slowly but surely, my gold stack has grown, every month, as i would buy another gold coin every fortnight or so.

The ancient Aztecs called Gold ‘the sweat of the sun’ Blood, sweat, tears and toil getting it out of the ground.

YOUR blood sweat and tears represent how hard you have worked to get this coin you now hold, and continue to hold ongoing.

Your pile of gold increases monthly. Gold is also a little bit of a gamble, it will never go to zero, it has been money for 5,000+ years, and can also go up in value ^ Currently im nicely up in £ terms if i chose to cash in and take some profits.

A quote stuck with me quite prophetically, as i’ve never believed in overdrafts, loans or credit cards.  If i had used for gambling i would have been in a world of shit

“Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants – but debt is the money of slaves.” ― Norm Franz, Money & Wealth in the New Millennium: A Prophetic Guide to the New World Economic Order

The bigger my gold stack grows the more satisfied I become and want more.

A positive kind of addiction.

I have not yet cashed in one single coin for gambling and my investment pile has grew.

This degree of separation that takes place between the gold coin and actual paper cash/figures on a screen i can spunk gambling is awesome.

Yet i know at a glance my total gold grams i have on any given day, and know how much it is worth should i cash in.

When money is in a bank A/C it is just like figures on a screen to me, cash in my hand just gambling token/betting voucher credits.

I could never hold onto money while it was in a bank account, savings account would be were there for good intention but the money came out for gambling.  Online transfers making it so easy

Gold doesn’t do that for me, the degree of separation between the time and effort it takes to cash in a gold coin, packing posting, sending, waiting for bank transfer for payment etc. is a few days minimum.

By which times my itch/urge to gamble has long since past.

Whilst I will always have that gamble bug inside me, i cant extinguish that flame as i like to to take risks, i’m self employed and risk = reward. and i have done well working over the years.

I still have my monthly little gamble, but as my priority with my spare cash is always to buy a minimum amount of gold each month, i’m never exposed to lose mega money EVER, fact these days, as the money isn’t there because it has been converted from one asset class cash into another asset gold.

The small amount i assign myself to have a gamble is minimal, £100 or £200 for a month. should i win, i actually treat myself to some more gold coins for my stack.

With doing this approach and putting what used to be gambling stake money cash into gold, i’ve got my good nest egg of over 4kg of gold or around £120k+ if i cashed it in from my safe deposit box.

I purposely store the gold in a safety deposit centre in a city that is over 2 hours drive/train ride away to resist the sudden urge to gamble/cash in.

A financial advisor would tell you it is stupid and daft to put all your eggs in one basket with one asset/investments, but to a fully signed up admitted gambler? would i sooner have this, £120k in gold is much better than having nothing at all fuck all to show for it in the bank as figures on a screen – so it works for me

Knowing this fall back of savings is there for any of lifes eventualities makes me sleep wonderfully at night.  The pension pot i can dip into should the boiler break down or car ever fooks up majorly

This approach may not be for everyone but if you can never hold onto money it has worked wonders for me. Your stream, rocknrollas channel and NickSlots, i have slots vids playing while i work from home as i enjoy the entertainment of being with someone doing what i would do, and what i enjoy.

I share their emotions, their highs & lows, I’m genuinely happy when you win.

Then when i see the £1,000-£2,000+ losses, it gives the flashbacks and stomach aching cramps of ‘been there done it got the t-shirt’ but also a very small sense of very sick happiness at the loss being yours and not mine.

The youtube stream help scratch my gambling itch that will always be there, and actually help me gamble less.

Sorry for the rambles length here today but to those nodding their head to this and it sounds a familiar path to yours.

if my narrative resonates with you, give gold a try. please try it, you might just like it, or start just buying some gold with your big wins when you hit

Sounds very interesting mate, i will have a read up on it, nice stash you got there!

I emailed you mate about PaddyPower Draw in September, did you get it? Email me at [email protected] if you can 😀

[Mr Mr B WANTED $395 Blocked]

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out but, the jackpot on that stake is £20,000. Obviously, based on £1 stake being £25 per line jackpot. So £40 x £25 = £1,000 x 20 lines.

For me that would be the end of my custom at VS but it depends on how much you have played there ie if you have been there so long and have £100k in over the time. I just checked my stats on SV and find after my 6.3k win on megapots I am still in profit there. WOOOOOOOHOOOOOO not quite. OF course, I am well down over the years and arcades/online slots places.

My advice to my son or to a total stranger is never to think gambling is something to rely on. It will cost you the earth if you lose control.
