Balance 45 thousand euros gambled away

As you can see in the title, I gambled away the above sum within just under 1 year.

I have been gambling Online Casinos for about 7 years. I've probably lost another 10k in the last few years, but since I've been earning just under 3k net, I've gotten the hang of it.

Actually, it was all good. I would have made the exit last summer
I had made a win of just under 20k for the first time. Unfortunately, I had paid out only 7500. After this point, only Bafögschulden were still open and 9000 to my brother. So about 26k. I could have paid off this sum in 2 years
I thought to myself, come I try it again... And it really happened I won again nearly 20k net. This time I had paid out 13k and if I had stopped now I would have been out with 13k net and would have been Debt free in 12 months.

As if hooked on the last win, I thought I could easily do it again. In fact, another almost 20k win... Unbelievable... I thought to myself how easy it is... I hardly play with high stakes and I win only... 7k to spend and I would be with plus minus 0 out on the entire career related...
But I only had 3500 paid out because I thought 'uh come on, I can easily make 30k..."

Since then there was only the way down.... My brother entrusted me 17000 euros and I also gambled away this money... In Christmas I had then again mega luck. Just 18 k.... So I would have at least paid off the debt to my brother ... I let 13k pay out and gambled away another 15k within 8 days ..

I fetched further credits(immediate credits etc, installment credits)
Actually it was just to minimize the Bafög debt. Now I stand with just under 45k and bafoegschulden 18k in the chalk...

And this is the time where I have firmly resolved to stop playing like before....

I will pay off the debt with 1300 € per month and gamble for 200 euros with Deposit bonus at sunmaker on 5 euros bod. Maybe I have luck with the 40 spins, maybe not ... That gives me at least the hope vllt yet a big hit to land...

Ah yes my online banking I have closed...

This is probably the classic way to gamble away double and triple the amount after a big win....

To all low spinner..auxh you it can hit after a. Big win hit. Set yourself a limit, online banking best not use, if you are generally suchtgefaehrdet

Wanted to write this post only because most only post their big wins what has me personally also very triggered when. Someone with 80 cents bet wins 60 k or something...

Vllt this post also serves as a warning to all who have little debt.... 1 year debts to pay off are completely fine... Everything above existence endangering

First of all, thank you for your contribution, is good that you are so honest with yourself! When you see the sums in black and white it becomes clear what all comes together. I play now also already c.a 8 years and am determined with 20K loss in it, here times 10€ there times 20€ it läppert itself!

In your place I would stop completely with the gambling!

Because from the 200.00 € you only want to play, quickly become again 1000 €

And so you could take 1500 € to pay off debts?

Many know this. It goes well and you think everything throws without end and before you realize it everything is gone again.

Credit I would not have fetched now, find that is so the absolute end stage of addiction vllt missing not steal money. But gambling away money you don't have is the biggest warning sign you can get.

Please stop trying to force a win. The limit should be the monthly budget and not a big win. Also always wanted the free spins to come and then gambled away small wins. The games just get cold and literally rob you if you don't come to your senses.

Thanks for the tip. I know my problem and that is online banking. The quick way to Deposit again if it did not work. Now I would have to go, however, if it does not work to the bank or to the gas station what brings me but again time to think. I was never the type who drove to the bank or so without online banking...

I need at least the feeling that the Big Win is still possible. I can gladly do without 2400€ a year. My problem was always that I could NEVER set limits. If I had played controlled according to my wins and also paid the wins directly, I would not be at this point

I myself started with 40 cent stakes. At the latest after a big win I can guarantee that most (there are certainly exceptions) will increase the stake per spin. I really never played under 2.50 (usually at least 5€) after the big wins. And you can imagine how quickly the money is gone at such stakes ^^

And do you really think that after a Big Win you will just stop or pay off the Debt directly?

If you save the 2400 euros a year, you would be debt-free about 6 months earlier.

I know this too well, have often in my life 5-digit win, earlier I have the money also within a few weeks always again condemned, had also times debts and have paid off for years. Nowadays I've become a bit smarter, anyway I only play with money that 1. belongs to me and 2. doesn't hurt me when it's gone. From my better wins I always buy something immediately (mostly gold coins) and every time before I sell something again I think damn well whether this must be now

In any case, you are honest with yourself, with the debts you will get along over a few years and how you want to handle the gambling that you have to work out with yourself.

Good that you set yourself a limit. If you manage to keep it, everything is no problem. Only the problem is to keep it (speak from experience) much success on your way
