Videoslots Jackpot Wheel!

Yesterday I got this big win from the jackpot wheel on Videoslots Casino. 1260€ after playing the 20€ i deposit.

I tell my girlfriend about the winnings, and added a small lie. “I have to wager some it, so i cant cash it all out, we have to wait and see what we end up with” she understod, and was happy about us getting som extra money, eventhough its not a huge win. Extra money is always nice.

I started playing slots. 1260€ went down to 1100, then 1000, and finally 700 late last night. “Great, its still some extra money and i had some fun”.

Woke up today and decided that that if its 700, it wouldnt be that big of a difference if it was 600. Still extra cash, and if i got lucky, i could get more back.

And you guessed it, it ended with a big fat Zero. Turns out im not made for gambling. Today i learned that it doesnt matter what the balance is. I will always try to get more. I have been playing the last few years, I just deposit 50€ each month to chase the dream of winning big, and today I learned that i will always chase that dream, even when im profit and can cash out.

Gambling isnt for me. I have learned that today. It was a lesson worth 1260€, and im ok with that. I know my limits, and i wont chase the dream anymore. I told my girlfriend about the lesson i learned, and she understand and support me. She is happy that I was honest about it. If i had tried to hide it from her, I would most likely be single when she learned the truth.

Today i learned I’m not in control of the slots, but I’m very much in control of myself.

Dont really know why i write this post, but i felt i had to. I had to share it with someone who might see themself in my story.

I will stick to watching other people like The Bandit playing the slots from now on, and thats totaly fine by me. I have learned, and i learned the lesson before i was in too deep, so it was worth the 1260€

 

Thanks for reading my story.

Good on you for being honest and opening up to your girlfriend about it. Considering what you’ve said, have you taken the steps needed to make sure you don’t gamble/gamble less than you did? I wouldnt want you to be in the situation of wanting to chase a loss if this was to happen again in the future. I recommend gamstop if you’re in the UK 🙂

Being superstitious always helps me i find / putting a promise. E.g. make a withdrawal and then simply say ” if i reverse this withdrawal this will happen (something as bad as you can think of in life) ” or ” if i carry on after going down to x balance or i make another deposit today this is going to happen ” and can always counter it with something good. Doesn’t matter if it isn’t actually going to happen but as long as you believe it at the time that’s all that matters.

” e.g.: if i reverse this withdrawal this bad thing is going to happen but if i don’t i’ll have really good luck for the next week or a really good happy week ” etc etc

Won’t work for everyone but it will for some, defo always worked for me to stay in control

Non steps taken when it comes to selfexcluding. Im removing all casino offers on email, and that is probably all i will do for now.

Im in England, and i dont know if gamstop works here, and how it would it would affect things like the National Lottery etc. I will still do the Lottery and Sports bets. Its Just slots i have to stay away from, and i really dont think that will be any problem.

Thanks for careing 🙂

I use to lose all time wen I won,since I start withdraw right away and lock my account for like 7 days I keep getting my wining on bank account,I know we all want to try on high bets when we win,and end up on big Zero balance

Well mate if you don’t gamble again on the back of this it will be a cheap lesson. If you carry on gambling and forget the lesson it will be an expensive mistake. It’s in your hands and I sincerely hope you make the right choice.

Gamblers lack discipline. More over time.
