      Hello everyone. I am new and I could really use some support and guidance. I have been trying to stop gambling for years. I am at a point where I am making good money and my future is looking brighter. I am very close to being able to buy a house for me and my daughter but I am so afraid that gambling will cause me to fail. I am not able to save any money because I always spend my extra money and sometimes my bill money on video poker. I live in Louisiana and I have opted out of the casinos but I still have access to video poker. I am single so I don’t have anyone to hold me accountable for my finances. I would really love some feedback and suggestions. Thanks in advance.

      Hello jasmine and welcome to the forum. I’ve been gambling away my “extra” money for years, actually decades and I know exactly what you’re saying.
      It often seemed as ‘no big deal’, I thought I could afford it, my bills were paid and my family and I led a fairly good life.
      But it catches up with you when things turn sour. And the money you could have saved is gone.
      In addition it is such a waste. Waste of money, waste of time, loss of opportunity.

      What video poker machines do you play? Do you at least know how to play? Some of these machines have a payout of almost 100% if played perfectly.
