      Hello,

      I have been gambling since 15 years old, initially I used to play Hold’em poker, I was mainly into Sit Nd Goes, I was really dedicated into making profits from it unfortunately not only the luck wasn’t on my side but the players were far more experienced than I, not to include I had no discipline at all (I was tilting easy). By the time I reached 19 I was probably down 8k from all the various sites I’ve played.

      I then turned to blackjack, realizing poker was a gamble just like any other card games, I love playing Blackjack online on Live Casinos, after losing 1-2ks on there as well, my luck finally turned just a month ago.

      Currently 20 years old, just last month I have won 38,000$ playing Blackjack from a 25$ deposit, in as short as 2 days, I was very fortunate not to lose it all considering I was wagering 5,000$ a hand it could of all gone away within minutes. I then realized I had won enough and withdrew 35,000$ since it was the limit, I kept 3,000$ on my account which i managed to triple to 9,000$ but lost it the same day.

      Now I am trying my hardest to fight the envy, I have just lost 3,000$ on a Live Dealer Casino hours ago, taken from the 35,000$ I had won, now the temptation is hitting me harder than ever before and I know I am sick enough to wager away 35,000$ within hours despite the fact that I work in a minimum wage job, I am no where near wealthy I don’t even make that money in two years of work.

      I have not yet reached the state where all is lost and I wish not to since I already been there and deeply in debt, yet I am stupid and demented enough to consider wager more to win back my 3,000$ I lost today, hopefully some people can relate, running away isn’t as easy as it seems, indeed why casinos are as profiting as they are.

      HI Axis ,
      There are probably not many of us on here who not hit it big at least once . There are not many of us who didn’t think our we are on a winning streak, we have so much money we are invincible , we are special or more clever than others. There’s also not many of us who have not lost all our winnings . Sometimes we hang on for a day – sometimes a week . Sometimes we lose it slowly – sometimes much faster.
      Unless you take action now to completely block all kinds of gambling I think we know the end of this story .

      Tell someone and get them to manage the password for this account. Give them control of the account u are lodging it to . If we could control it we wouldn’t lose so much. Admit defeat and leave with a nice nest egg. Or continue and ???

      Hi Axix, well done on looking for help. I-did-it has already given some good advice; what barriers can you put in place? a blocker for your PC? Putting your money somehwere that you dont have that instant access? Accountability?

      Read the other stories here – what things are helping others that you can apply to your own situation?
