Firstly, I don't want to quit gambling as generally I have it under control and find it enjoyable.
BUT, I've been a muppet the last few days. Thrown out the window was common sense and low rolling (up to 60p a spin) and on goes my stupid head. All was going well until stakes were raised as well as blood pressure! It has only dawned on me today that generally IT WAS NOT enjoyable the last few days unlike how it has been. So, as of late last night I am looking at a loss of around £850 for a couple of days play - ok not mega money to some people, but loads to me in my current situation. And I was doing so well the last few months in being chilled!
On the plus side, today yielded a profit of around £350 and I was up a fair amount for last month, but still a kick in the nether regions at how quickly it can go tits up and wipe out any profit or funds allowance! Almost, very almost did I have my credit card paid off!
So, next few days I will not be playing. That is the plan!
Big difference the last few days was playing with a bonus - something I rarely do and now appreciate why I don't generally take bonuses! Could have been up a few times, except no withdrawal allowed due to x amount of wagering still required - then stakes go up, etc etc to clear it, blah blah blah.
There you have it, confession out the way and I feel better for it! We are all human and have moments of weakness, it all depends how you bounce back from it that counts.
So so so true - when the fun stops, STOP!
