At the age of 17 on way home from work I stopped in arcade and spent the whole 27 quid of my weeks wage , I felt so low , i told my manager that I lost my wages on the bus , following day the staff surprised me with exactly 30 quid as they had a whip-round . That was my first day of gambling and my last .

What I find crazy about the mentality of gambling I could lose £300 one day then win £150 the day after and it’s as if the £150 I lost is written off in my head and I’m just happy I have won £150 crazy it is

This is all so damn true. There’s always an excuse for one more spin.

you should go to to schools and teach young people what gambling can do to someone...if it stops one young person going down that road it's a job we'll done...

Did the bookies not ever ask if your alright? Cause surely not many people walk into a physical betting shop and bet that type of money

I don’t even gamble, but the way you tell your stories I can imagine and feel what it would be like it’s why I follow you and watch every video

It's good you got out that gambling loop, I can see how it could be addictive. I won £3k once online and I remember panicking because I wanted to keep gambling but also I'd never seen that much money at that time. oddly it made me feel sick and I'm glad I walked away. But on looking back I remember the debate if I should keep gambling it.

Gamblers need to realise these machines are there for benefit of the betting company. Your chance of winning on horses is about 1/10 but one soon if those machines is much higher . In my city they offer you a drink and these machines have large seats to get comfy

I use to do on line gambling. I never spent excessive amounts of money but £20 here & there soon adds up. One day I phoned my bank & ask for a gambling stop the best thing I ever did. Some days I get an urge but thankfully don't act on it.

sorry but I don't believe this story for one minute, cash point has a limit for withdrawal and why go to the bank to withdraw the first £1000 if you can go to a cash point ?
