Ok guys, back here after 2 months
Guess what I’ve been doing?yes back gambling
So after reading books on CG i still decided to play one last bet
And I made 1 bet on sports Parlay and guess what?I WON around USD 120k, that was 2 months ago.
Quit for few days, so happy, went travelling with family then went back gambling and won around 50K in 1 week.
So my total gambling loss came down to just below 200k, from initial 400k, quite content but couldnt stop. Kept telling myself maybe now can finally break even then quit.
Anyways kept gambling,few wins few losses and then just this past 2 weeks lost 300k.
So total accumukated loss is now 500k.
Feel dark and hopeless, now even have to sell few assets to settle.
Hopefully now I can really stop for good.

Ok so after about 24 hrs gamble free,mind battling back and forth,keep checking those odds online,finally i gave in.
Made a $5000 bet and lost. After those hypothetical bets i won and the one that i actually bet on lost.
Felt like i let myself and everyone here down.
I was actually on the brink of making a 20-30k bet on that one game ,luckily i hesitated.
So finaly I think i ‘m going to put the idea of making that one last big bet to get even a rest once and for all.
Going to close online bet accounts and transfer my savings to my wife and kids account.
Also I think I need to find new interests in life, to keep myself busy and not think of gambling
Hard part is my interest has always been in sports.
Come to think about it I think I just realised gambling has negative impact on my love for sports.
Now i’m scared to watch football match, scared that I will be tempted to make a bet.

I think its easy to refeain oneself from betting now that we’re in hole with little savings left
But what about few years down when we have more savings, thats the real test

Hi darkenergy

Thanks for advice, you’re right i’ ve been fighting off temptation to bet another match for past 24 hours.

Been reading stories from the web and even bought a book from kindle easy way to stop gambling by Allen Carr. Hopefully by the time finish this book i’ll be cured.

Anyway i havent make a bet but still tempted,looking at odds online.

I dont have the courage to tell my family about this yet but thanks for suggesting to keep money away.

I think i’ll transfer savings to my wife for now.

Still hurts by the way thinking how much money was lost, what that lost money can buy for my family and how stupid i was to relapse and make the same mistake. Although this time didnt blow away everything like last time but still hurts.

Hope everything is well for you too

I made a hypothetical bet last night and the team that i picked actually won
I think if they lost it would really put my mind to stop betting again for life
Now i’m tempted to make that final big bet again, damn

Your words just knocked some sense to my head

Im glad i came here before making that final bet

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for your advice, did the 20 questions and answered yes to 14 qs, thing is i know if incontinue gambling i’ll lose everything and end up in a deeper hole

Thats why i’m thinking of spending only about 60% of my current savings on final big bet and whatever the result quit for life

Goal is only to reduce total loss to an acceptable amount and that would be enough.

Actually i was inspired by the movie the gambler, final scene when he bet everything, one last bet
