(reassure me) Is this just bad luck?

[H1_Roller]

I am ready to ask a moderator to remove my posts and all replies if this is the option H1_Roller would prefer.

Don't be silly

I have actually joked occasionally with my husband about all the stuff I post on here. He thinks it's hilarious that someone finally pulled me up about my gambling (because he reckoned it would happen eventually). You see "housewife" and then all those screenshots coupled with a thread like this, and imagine starving kids and a neglected house but that couldn't be further from the truth.

The reason I make deposits of £150 and £200 but bet, as KK said, 'quite high for that bankroll' is similar to *thinks* short-stacking(?) at poker tables. I could make larger deposits, but then I'd just be silly and bet bigger.

Bad luck does indeed happen too often.

The thing which I tell myself is once I have good luck I quit any gambling online.

Not too long ago I won over $6000 online. What I did the moment I was paid was uninstall, remove, close accounts and unsubscribe from as many casinos as possible. Since we all know nice winning runs never last forever I dont want to simply have awesome luck and win only to give it all back to the casino in runs of bad luck over the following few days.

Since that win I havent gambled a penny online. Im still enjoying that cash. I know I have nowhere to play since I closed accounts so as far as im concerned my money is safe.

Maybe in the future when the moneys long gone ill go back to it but the longer I keep going without playing, the longer I am a winner

sparkz, the only winner is the one who wins big once, then walks away.

. I think most of us could do that deep down but willpower can be quite futile where gambling is concerned.

Everybody wants to be a winner, weather its to get that dream sum or win enough for a nice sunny holiday, but then it can be all in the mind where some greed comes in place and makes you believe "i could have 2 holidays if i keep playing" then before you know it your bust.

Hopefully LOTR will keep that winning streak going for you =D

Who really still believes online casinos have no possibility to influence their software..

hm what I'm talking about.... but I know what I see almost every damn day on my

monitor screen...since years! I am speaking only from video slots machines

I'm not saying that they cheat but they have definitely influence to the software!!

that's my opinion

Knowing when to switch software/casinos/slots/game types is the key to reduce the damage when losing trend starts.

Based on my experience, when a MG slots turn cold, it could last months.

This is absolutely not my business, and sorry if I offend you even in the slightest way, but I can't help telling this, and I might be completely, absolutely wrong. If so, I apologize in advance a hundred times. But I simply feel this, and I have seen it many times already. Based on the screenshots, your profile and posts, I tend to think that you might have to face the risk of a possible gambling problem at some point of time in the future if you leave things going on their own. This is also based on my own personal experience. You are definitely not there, and I strongly think that you will never get there. But some devil inside me and me reading people come to CM, post, and after a while go keep telling me: watch out, careful.
Again, I needed to share this, and I did it with good intention.

I am glad somebody posted this as I was feeling the same way, don't get me wrong I enjoy the posts in the winners screenshot thread, but I too feel you could have a problem by some of your posts and I don't know, just feel worried for ya.

I have seen some bad things with people and slots, like when the casino near me first opened you would see people on the phone crying cause they just lost their car or all their money.

Please read through the thread in it's entirety. I do appreciate concern but if I'm being honest I'm getting both fed up with this, and actually quite embarrassed.
No offence, but what I do with my own money that I work very hard for is my business.

I think the thread is kinda getting funky - Although people have stressed concern for you, it is getting a bit much...

Ask Max or Bryan to shut the thread...
