If I Could Turn Back Time

[goatwack]

Something I've always wanted. I've often joked (dreamed, wished etc etc) with the wife saying "All I want is a free £25 deposit each and every day" - although I do stick to my limits and ultra rarely gone past them in 16 years, that sort of set up would save me a small fortune

Don't think I'd sleep for a week if I hit that sort of win

I'm halfway there. I just dream of my wife saying "All I want is a deposit each and every day".

And then I wake up

I would be exploiting all those 'empiters' down the seaside arcades which i only learnt about years after all those particular games were gone or chipped.

I have a very bad habit, not to withdrawal winnings if after a win my balance is for example 1997 or 902, 1493 etc.

Instead of withdrawing what I have, I try to get to the even digit - 2000, 1000, 1500 and by trying to get this done I lose it all... It has happened probably hundreds of times.

Ha, this... I've done that quite a few times too and when you eventually end up withdrawing or worst case scenario go bust you can only think about how stupid that was. A couple of weeks ago I had a pretty big session and eventually ended up €30 short of my deposit after having a comeback you rarely witness but instead of quitting there and then and calling that a "win" I thought I was in the flow, just to lose it all again and that time there was no comeback. Suffice to say the session after that I withdrew after getting that last lucky hit on Reactoonz I posted the screenshot of on here. Very lucky twice in a few days and still lost overall, gambling rarely makes sense

See that has been my issue. I have always gambled for entertainment, there has been a few times to try to make money, but that has never worked. I loved going to land base ones. It is pure entertainment there, bands, drinks, people etc. I would still be going if I hadn't let my daughter talk me into signing out for a year after that 6k win, because trust me, that was not my first big win there by far, but it was not anything she knew because lets face it. Your kids find out you have money, they are all over you. She just happen to be there at the time. Online has lost it's charm. I've wasted more money than not. I think the entertainment value has been long gone because as you say, it's hard to get over your bets, and it becomes the same ole, same ole.

Just an example from the last year on landbased
No 1 50p bet £1800
No2 50p bet £750
No 3 20p bet £1000
No 4 50p bet £750
No 5 50p bet £750
Speaks for its self were I've had one decent win of £650 on line with £600 pm despoits..
