Sorry, I'm not convinced. How many more?
Ouch! But you are very right, let's hope there is no more of theese slips,

Don't just write to the casinos requesting your accounts to be closed. Be very specific....tell them that you have a serious problem, and that under no circumstances do you wish to be allowed to play any longer. You need to do this ASAP.
And especially this part :

I havn't gone this far in the emails to them, but at this point in my online career I'm quite sure you are right. I just need to let those words sink for a while,
They are hard words to consume for a gambler.

I have to agree on this too. Join a compulsive gamblers support group. Something. Here's a kickstart:
Jepp, this is very true. Been there before infact, but maby it's time to hit the decks again. Problem is I would then need to quit the landbased casino aswell, and I don't have the "can't stop, must gamble away all the money" problem there... You can't very much attend to AA-meetings when you are drinking in the weekends...
So it's a pickle at the moment for me, thats why I thought I might control myself and get some wisdom from you people which I have. (But I failed myself by loosing control). I really enjoy the conversation with you, even If it might be a little "Casinomeister-off-topic", hehe.
But thanks for great advice winbig72!

Sure, I'm playing with fire nowdays I guess, but I have it under control. No more gambling with rent money, food money..you get the idea. I just see that's where it's leading with you unless you stop now. Don't say it won't happen, because it can, and will. I've been there.
And many times the "no-food-money" is infact food money, just that you trade that Steak with a hamburger instead, if yoy know what I mean. But regarding your notes, I havnt been gambling away all funds lately, not even in the 5K thread - I know when I must stop so that I can pay the rent and still get food in the table, but surely that night I didn't stop until I met that limit... And believe me, I'm gonna work hard as hell getting those 5K and the other 20K back from this years "joy-ride".
I've been wanting a 42" Plasma TV, when I win I'll buy one... How ironic, and stupid might I add, I could have had 5 Plasmas this year alone if I didnt install any MG casinoes...
Also when I blew the 2K for this post, the problem boils down to that I havn't visualized the 2000 Euro in hard cash, I havnt got a feeling of what they are worth, so it's easy just throwing them away. Man - this cashless society is bad when it comes to gambling for people like me... Ouch!

You've got that right. I'm just lucky that there's a 'statute of limitations' on how long CC debt can stay on your credit report. It's 7 years. After that, by law, they have to REMOVE it.
err...at least in the USA it's like that. Not sure about other countries.
i think its 6 here in the UK - i cant really remember
It's even worse in Norway. The debt in general will stick for 10 years, but if the debt has any value it's "renewed" for another 10 years and they can keep doing this. Meanwhile you get your pretty marks which prevents you from getting loands or basically any support. I notice it's even worse for the swedish, since they are not able to do a little thing as rent a car if they have a "payment mark" or what you call it... I was not only surprised, I got the chills when I heard it... But it's true!

I sure didn't mean to preach at anyone, and if it came across that way, I apologize. I just hate to see people throw their lives away, when they've already admitted they have a problem, and the solution is right there. They just need to reach out and grab it.
I have no problems getting advice, good or bad, spot on or besides target. I respect all comments made to my posts, and read though them carefully all as one. I would also like to add that your point regarding it's so annoying seeing people do dumb things when the answer is in front of them. Hehe, you feel annoyed seeing me doing the same mistakes, think of how I feel doing them, hehe. Some of us are slow learners in some fields, this field is going very slow for me. Im used to being succesful in other fields, but this gamble part I just can't get to work, seems it defies all my business logic!
So, Buhu! on me, hehe.

To be honest I killed those plans some 8 years ago,
Thanks for all your support people, I really appretiate it!
