I was a sad gambler, due to an alcoholic father who didn't give a shit, so he didn't mind his workmates sending me to bookies age 17 after a while i had a bet, and somehow like many stories i won and that was it i gambled for years before giving it up, but the big parts of life it destroyed couldn't be explained quickly, the racing game being so bent doesn't help at times years ago you could win backing fancied horses at times, but last 10 years and every year since there getting greedier by the year, and results getting worse even more so since the bookies lost them very grim killers the roulettes, hard to say much more except any gambling is a pure haven of misery.

Keep fighting the good fight man, beat that temptation, don’t ever let it beat you. Most importantly reach out to people in your life or people who are going through the same pain. No one should suffer alone or in silence.

@@frayfog yeah thanks for all that freind much appreciated, and i know in my mind I'll never go back to it, something to do with lockdowns and bookies being closed for a long time as helped make my mind up, apart from that I can't explain it what happened after all these years, it might be that I've seen first hand how it can be without gambling and thousands in the bank, which in my betting days wouldn't be there and that's ridiculous, plus a stronger hatred of the bookies and how disgusting they are and how greedy, hardly giving anyone a chance of winning up till ten years ago you could win at times, but lately its all gone much worse they know what there doing with the trainers, there's no shame at all horrible bastards preying on gamblers mentality, thanks again.

I think in order to understand gambling properly, you need to of been gambling since you were a kid. Can’t go from hard worker to gambler.

Darrell mate you’re so far from anything close to right. I’m a recovering addict and I’ve been addicted for over 15 years and have a better understanding of gambling addiction than most do. Addiction doesn’t only begin in childhood mate.... it can start at any point.

Well let’s just say opinions differ, and everyone has different experience of the dark side of gambling.

What was he actually playing that took his money? Please don’t say fixed odds betting terminals. Most of the these betting shops have now been shut down since the government changed the betting limits on these machines.

@@frayfog yes betting terminals need to be played very differently to how we might originally think. I mean there is too much to say here but everyone lost so much playing those machines.
