Hi,
I think i’m posting in the right place, i’m trying to use this site on my phone and its a bit tricky.
My problem in a nutshell is FOBT roulette machines in betting shops. I have always enjoyed having a bet on the football and it has never been a problem for me, may stakes have always been manageable and haven’t really altered much since I started gambling. However, in the last 18 months i have started to play on the roulette machines more and more, today I have lost £475 which added to the £350 I lost last monday is getting well out of hand. My problem is compounded by the fact that I am actually a betting shop manager! Ridiculous I know, if anyone should know better its me!! This means that self excluding is a tricky option for me as I need to go in other betting shops for my job, or I’ll have to own up to my bosses that I have a problem which I can’t control. This definately would not be ideal.
I have been trying to stop for so long but recently the amount of money is increasing and i’m really starting to worry that I can’t stop! I feel so stupid and useless, of all people I know how much these machines make but its just the feeling that maybe I will win big.
Anyway, I have vowed (once again) that today was the last time and that i’m never playing them again, the problem is…I just don’t know if i ever believe it myself anymore I’ve failed so many times to quit. Thats why i’m writing on here hoping that this different approach with bring about a different result!
Here’s hoping…
