I, like no doubt many on this forum, am a bit of an obsessive person.

When I first started gambling at internet casinos I spent huge amounts of time playing. Played nearly through the night on many occasions. This was never about the gambling buzz for me however. I don't see the point of gambling unless you are the casino or bookmaker, it was only about winning money!

Then I got bored!

It then became almost painful to play ( I am sure most obsessive people recognise this trait. How many normal people would get a feeling of dread just because a casino had offered them a £1500 match bonus!) and it was only the money that kept me coming back.

I decided to accept the increase in my variance and increased the size of my bets to cut the playing time.

Of course this caused the casinos to offer me more bonus money. Catch 22!!

I reacted by increasing my bets even more.

I just checked my 'Good run on Crypto' thread and, ignoring my wind down Millionaires Club and Solitare sessions, I bet millions in less than 6 months winning over £100,000 with a total playing time of less than 9 hours!

Obviously this is not the only casino I play at but it is the one I spend the most time at and my pattern of play is similar at the other casinos.

So my actual casino playing time over a 6 month period is considerably less than 24 hours!
