Had a similar experience when I was about 19 mateĀ deposited 100 quid and worked my way up through doing 10-20 and then 50 quid bets on Blackjack until I had a decent balance. It just didn’t feel like I could lose. A few 300 quid bets here and there in one massive 5 hour session and I was up at 2k!
I thought one more bet. 500 quid and I’ll leave it… ended up losing the lot and maxing my overdraft at the start of December. Never felt so low in my life having to explain to your parents and family why you can get Xmas presents for them. Taught me a valuable lesson early on though but I feel your pain! Just make sure you remember the lesson ??
