I am 32. I was a international student in Canada. Two years ago I finished my course and started to work. I got some money saved so I tried to go to casino. At the beginning I just bet small and my bankroll was just up and down. One time I lost like 2 grands and felt very bad. I decided to quit. But occasionally, I found a online casino website so I had a shot. I just played slot. At first I know nothing about online slot I just bet $5 per spin. In term of my bankroll was just $300 it is really big bet. But I got some luck and didn’t losing in a week. And then suddenly I hit a big win and won 10 grands! I was so happy and almost decided to quit and cash out. But there were some days to wait for the cash out so I wanted to try my luck again. Then I was in bad luck and lost all the money in 3 days.
After that I played time to time and just lose a little. after a year I begin playing blackjack and win some big hand like $1000 per bet! I was up by $20000 and wanted to quit forever. But again the devil inside me force me to play again and again. Then I lost $30000 in next few month.
I almost decided to quit because I was down by 10 grands already. But I did believe that I have some lucky time and keep betting big on blackjack. Fortunately, I was lucky and won some big hands again. This time I was up by $30000! It was two months ago. At that time I already cashed out all the money. But I just felt greedy and I wanted to win more. So I deposited money to online casino again. And then everything turned to the worst. I still can’t believe I could lost so many big hands! But that is the truth. Each time I lost, I make another deposit of $2000 just to played one or two hands. I kept losing and felt scared because I lost all the money I won before and had to use my own money to gamble. But I just didn’t know when to stop. I just stopped until I lost the money which are from my parents’ deposit. I felt really bad because I did not only lose my own money but also the money from my family, that even made me feel guilty.
Now I decide to quit and remove all the online casino software in my laptop. I will never played online casino with big money from now on. -
I know the feeling. I have been losing big. Yesterday I won 6k and blew it all in a day. My bets just got bigger and faster. I couldn’t stop even though every part of me anted too.
