It HURTS! I have a gambling problem if I start. I can't even stay away from slot machines, and have now got into poker. I'm off to Vegas for my 30th in a couple of years and taking a lot of strong willed mates with me. Otherwise I'll be skint by the first afternoon.

Been there mate

Gambling is a mugs game, feels great when you walk out Ł500 up but you walk out Ł500 down a damn dite more often

I haven't set foot in a Casino for 5 years.

Went in one under protest a few months back, changed up Ł100, walked round for a bit then just cashed up the Ł100 and just had a few drinks at the bar

I don't gamble, It's not that I have anything against it but I just don't understand most of the games and even football and horseracing odds and stuff. I can't afford it anyway so I think I'll remain blissfully ignorant.

Feel for you mate i burned nearly 8 grand over 3 days playing poker a little while back the main problem is thinking you have an unbeatable hand or the no way has he got them cards bollox all i play poker on now is the free money things like party poker as i really do enjoy poker was even tempted to try and make a living at it but after it costing me even more in a relationship i was in at the time and my dad supporting me i soon learnt it really is a mugs game

The 8k was winnings that my then missus made me put in savings so that soon went tits up.
Without being cocky i really was a very good player and would soon start cleaning up i'm 26 now and have been playing poker since i was 13 with my dad (he was crap though lol) then i would start playing in the real games with his pals who were all black taxi drivers and wasn't scared of gambling their money within a year or so they all refused to play if i did and it went on from there.
Just play the free ones from now on mate if you like the game and take this Ł1300 as a lesson learned

It's true, if there wasn't money to be made by casinos, they wouldn't exist.....over the long run you will always loose more than you win

.......... and I've been at the bottom of that slope.

It's not a pretty site - if I go to the Casino now, it's only ever with money I'm prepared to lose.

When you're stealing to feed your habit, you know it's out of control, and that's what I did a couple of times
