It has been a lot of years since I felt my gambling was was out of control.
It was at for a long time in my past, and here online it's been less so.
Many times over the past few years I've said it's worse when you are winning.
The first week, waiting to see if I'd be paid, and making plans, I couldn't even settle down long enough to gamble.
But that was a month ago, and I did resume playing. It's what I've did for years now.
But the cashout button got higher up.
I had a great weekend last weekend, but I blew back a couple of grand of a 8K win.
I was several hundred ahead and failed ro cash out.
My cashout button got shffed.
I gambled enough early friday to win a bonus prize at 32Red on the Valentine's Day promo. $480 in bonus funds, with minimal cash balance, I kinda had to play medium sized bets at least to begin. The worse I did was grinding some (well, slotmeister too) at 36 cents, did much better on bigger bets.
I've booked a trip to Cuba for leaving on Saturday. That will give me a week without gambling.
While I like to say you can't always lose, sure as shooting you can't always win.
I got the once in a lifetime gambler's hope for, I cannot blow it.
I haven't, in fact I"m up by quite a bit. But I put a big enough chunk into it prior to that. What should have been 6 months of deposits into a couple of weeks.
But I got lucky,and lucky doesn;t last forever.
I'm hoping a break will reset my mind as well.
