Hello Bro BlackHole,
how are you? Hope all are fine....
Btw...here's another brother posting from AsianBookies....
Started soccer betting 3 months ago on a UCL match, lost $20. After that got win abit, lose abit, when winning feel very good got extra money for food and enjoyment. Betted $5 for every single EPL matches and the loss grew to $200 (there was a period when even i betted the favourites to win, they lost) ... tried to play safe by betting $400 per match on clear favourites with very low returns but still lost....consequently lost 4 times so lost $1.8k in total, decided to quit soccer betting....
Then one fine day heard of my foreign colleagues winning at the casinos....with ''strategic baccarat and roulette'' strategies...thought i can beat the casinos...so decided to turn to casinos to make a comeback for the $1.8k loss in soccer betting....thinking i have around $16k in savings...thought i could manage and try to make $500 every trip and 5 trips i will recover my $1.8k and still make some money from gambling and quit. First trip inside won $800. Very happy so subsequent trips went in with a vow to leave after making like $300....consecutively won for 5 trips....made $2k after deducting levies...still made $200...thought why should i focus on my job which paid so poorly....so decided to do my job part time and headed into the casinos weekly.....and this was the biggest mistakes in my life....subsequent trips I lost more than $2k every trip...and lost $6.6k in a single trip was the biggest in my humble life
went in last week for the showdown with $4k which is what i am left with after 45 years on this Earth and lost...played all the card games and every bet lost to the banker.....
And now i am left with $5.98 in my bank account. And $20 plus in my wallet...lucky is i still live my brother if not i will be sleeping on the streets now.....
Losing $18k may not be alot to some of you but my advice is don't step into the casinos and if need to b just take it as a form of entertainment and only if you can afford to like 10% of your savings?
You can never win the casino....when we are winning...we tended to bet small and won $25 by $25......and when we are losing we may bet up to $500 per bet and lose control.....that is the human failure....
As of now, i everyday still couldnt sleep for the past 3 days...thinking how much this money meant to me....and even if i work now..saving $200 every month,, how long must i need to earn it back...and this money could have been used to contribute to my brother's rental and other things or even be donated to those old needy people ....
Can anyone advise what can i do now to distract myself away from the depression ... now i really despise myself for entering the casino...please help me
