I absoloutley love this forum and love how you’ve shared your story!
I’m only 20, and when I was 18, I needed my dad to bail me out for a couple hundred pounds of payday loans. (You can imagine this didn’t go down well with him).
I didn’t take the loan out to gamble, I took the loan out as I gambled everything I had worked for and couldn’t get by 4 weeks without any money. So when my following pay came in, I used that to pay off my loan and then went and took out another one because I was skint again! It was a never ending cycle! I’ve no idea what kind of state i’d be in just now if it weren’t for my dad helping in time and it makes me want to help people who aren’t as lucky as me to have someone to help them.
2 years later I can safely say I’ve cooled my jets, I stick to £10 of football bets for the midweek champions leauge games and £10 on for the Saturday games.
I love watching the bandit as it just gives me the satisfaction of almost playing the slot, just with money that isn’t mine and reading everyones posts here has kept my mind from ever considering going daft online again.
All I can say is, thank you! You’ve helped me more than you know! Keep you’re head up, your money in your pocket, and have a fantastic Christmas and new year!
