Yep, I played all my money away in one evening. A 12-pack of beer, and a couple of thousand euros. Jesus fucking christ, why am i so stupid. I'm not a rich man, so it makes no sense to play more than a couple of 100€. Well, maybe it's time to finally accept the fact that I have a gambling problem. I mean, with all the money I've gambled on sports, poker, blackjack, slots, I probably could have bought a house or two.
I'm not looking for sympathy! I made the decision to play, I clicked the games, no-one forced me. I'm just venting and frustrated and angry at myself. NEVER play more than you can afford to lose!
I feel for you. A few years ago I gambled much more than I could afford to loose. For a long time i was betting most of my paychecks. Stupid I know. I was out of control. Anyway in the last year or so I learned to never bet more than I can afford to lose an it works well for me although i have had a couple of slips. Now I have a strict budget amount which I don't go over. If I am lucky enough to win I spend the money on things I need or want first and then use a little to get some playtime. It's working well for me so far. I also keep in my mind how easy it is to spiral out of control so that I can prevent that from happening to me in the future (I hope).
My rules now are to never gamble when I am drunk or tired and never to chase my losses
I agree with other posters after the beating your wallet took a break would be a good idea. I wish you the best in the future
