Well done mate I’m just going on 2 weeks now and it ain’t easy even with using gamstop it still takes willpower to stay away from casinos and bookies. As gamblers I think most of us at some point or other have lost the value of money and taking a step back for a while really helps it hit home how much the casinos used to hit us for.
Just think how much you’ll have to yourself once completely debt free and no casino vacuuming the money out of your account each month.
Keep it up mate!
That was my problem i signed up to gamstop then went in arcades. What was the point in using gamstop. 3 weeks ago i decided to stop all slots betting and online poker ( mates account). Your right it’s not easy and i don’t know if I’ll keep it up but im going to try my hardest so please don’t fall into the trap i did of just substituting one form of gambling for another.
Yeah it’s such a hard habit to kick mate..Ive never really been one for the bookies personally…I did used to go in when I was younger and play but always hated the atmosphere and generally most of the people I met in there who more often than not would badger me for a few quid or start telling me what numbers to play and just generally annoying the fck out of me. As soon as I found online gambling Ive never been back in one but literally the day after signing up to gamstop while walking past Willy Hill I had such a strong urge to go in and place a few quid in.. thankfully I was late for work so I didn’t have time ??. I can’t imagine the urge will ever go away it may not be as strong after a while but I reckon I’ll always be a gambler at heart.

1I could be wrong but I think there is a lot more to this in terms of how much money they have lost. I also think it wasn’t just a random error!
We shall have to wait and see.
They’ve probably lost a fortune if players could sit there for hours spinning for free but you also have to remember
1) An error like this shouldn’t happen, I’ve never heard of it happening on any other site. If it’s the slot provider who messed up then they should persue them. If its their own team that messed it up then they only have themselves to blame. I don’t believe the slot just started playing up on its own.
2) All withdrawals go through checks and they should have spotted something was up since I imagine the withdrawal amounts on the days it happened would be astronomical.
Either way it appears to me that this once decent casino has been going down hill since they secretly changed rtp and didn’t notify customers of this change until they was found out. I honestly don’t have a shred of sympathy for them.
Bloody Fagan Dave strikes again with all the indisputable evidence I think it’s only fair he’s stripped of his trophies and foot pedals. ??
Ah fuck yeah it was degen Dave lol.
For Bandit to call anyone degen is saying summat!
He’s bad mate that’s why Bandit had to ban him on paint ??
I’m having a few issues at work today. I’ve just walked out. And taken the day to re-evaluate my options. All due to my buisiness partner being unprofessional as fuck far too often.
Think I’m gonna be forced into going it alone in the next few weeks.
I don’t really talk about work too much here. But for the last 6months ive invested and been partners in a Shou Sugi Ban company called Carbon by Design. We char cladding and other thing’s then sell it basically. It’s not rocket science but it’s very lucrative.
I’ve been talking with my sister lately. And I’m gonna seriously think about setting up with her within the next 4 weeks.
Other than that, nowt much happening. Just same old.
I had a partner for years mate. It didn’t end well. My best mate as well. He was lazy as fuck and left everything to me to do. We hardly speak now. I swear I’ll never do it again. I’m not against anyone else having a partner in business don’t get me wrong but i think you need to set quite alot of ground rules before you start.
Life lesson that mate I would never go into business with family or friends it just complicates things.
Ive almost finished a 10 hour shift in quite possibly the deadest shop I’ve ever worked at. Literally pottering around looking for stuff to do bored shitless but only an hour to go until beer o’clock. ?
Don’t forget seedys 8.30 9.00 actually means about 10.30. We know what he’s like.
Shocking mate I’m locally known as on time Dave…… all over the northwest
Is your other nick name known all over the North West also? ??
It’s a hard topic to discuss as we still do not really understand fully how the mind works..
I would say that will power comes into it and while it’s easy to say “Yeah it’s will power, I had a problem but I wanted to quit and so I did” the problem with a statement like this is that different people have different levels of addiction and while someone might have had a problem and quit and perhaps it was challenging that still can be 100x times more challenging for someone who is a compulsive gambler for example.
Of course I believe anyone is able to quit if they truly put their minds to it, even the most severe addictions.
I have a friend who has had every addiction under the sun as he has an obsessive compulsive personality and he has said a few times to me that kicking gambling was harder than kicking opiates and that’s a pyshical dependency.
To those who think that people who say that people who are going to do it just do it I will say to that sorry but you’re wrong – everyone is different and you are basing your opinion purely based on your own past experiences. Also it’s makes more sense that you would post it up online where you are annouymous than to confide in your closest friend/relative as its not exactly a conversation you can just bring up without consequences that said person may not want.
Either way its better to show compassion rather than making a person who is at rock bottom feel worse. What’s the point in kicking someone while they are down?
1I’m covering in another store today and I’ve had about 2 customers in 3 hours. Slowly starting to lose the plot and I imagine when the sun comes out I’ll probably be in work as the bastard doesn’t come out on my days off! ?
