Hello,

i also know it too well to gamble away wins again, you always think there is still something and you play and play and then you are back at 0 and pay in again

But you're right, with the money, because when I win I'm not happy that I won MONEY but that I can now continue to play without having to Deposit again, is totally sick, I know ...

I wish you much strength I'm also again to finally stop ....We can do it

Lg

Deposited 100 euros (+100 bonus) yesterday at sunmaker and had some luck with the first slot and relatively quickly been at 1200. After I had defeated the Wager after 3 hours, I have given 500 of the remaining 700 euros in the payout, 100 gambled away with reckless actions and left another 100 on it for the next time.

I've been gambling for over 20 years now, a lot is about mental toughness and you can actually train that. I have always been able to keep control in Vegas, even though things were going badly and I had 2 credit cards in my pocket with no limit on the amount I could spend. I was able to keep my daily loss limit although the temptation there is quite massive. The positive thing is, of course, that you have the money in your hand or pocket. But I still remember well my first years when I started playing Poker - I had "lapses" from time to time. That can no longer happen to me today

Good luck.

If the credit card has no limit on the credit limit, why do you have two?

But yes, that's how I handle it too, only with smaller amounts. When I started gambling, I always had myself completely under control and was even a bit paranoid about money. If I was with buddies in the Spielo and won 20€ on the first machine, I paid out and the rest of the evening no longer played, just to have a win

Then later I had a phase where I couldn't control myself and regularly took all my money to the arcade and blew it. Then I had to watch how I smoked, ate, what I did with friends and felt I made resolutions to quit every first of the month

I had a break for about half a year and since then I play online more often than offline, if at all, and I have myself completely under control. In my bad time I have seen almost everything that is possible in terms of wins and losses at the machine. I am fully aware that I am always at Risk of losing my money. When I was 18, I really looked at gambling as a way to make a hundred from 20€, but since that mentality has gone, I play without stress

Well, because the one (Amex) is not accepted everywhere - even in America there is one or the other situation. Is probably still related to the higher fees for the merchants, so it was at least once. Sometimes even Platin is only good for opening doors

I started gambling only two months ago and I feel the same as many others here. I don't really care about the money, if I win it gets gambled away again and if I leave it for the week I just keep playing next week. It's a relaxed way for me to switch off at the moment - come home, open a beer, light the fuse and play for 2-3 hours without thinking too much. I will Deposit next month 300-500 € on a casino and take the bonus, then I can at least a few days in peace daddeln

The problem with a one-time Deposit, however, is that you then have to press the brake pedal in the middle. That's where it gets tight for many, I think. Because of the enormous effort that you have to take on because of the wagering to have to pay out something again, I find the idea with the large sum not so great. I would rather load the money on a Neteller or Skrill account and "burn" it in steps of 60 or 70. There are also casinos that have the whole week promotions where you get 50% bonuses. That is then also manageable as I find. Have yesterday already quite long sat with 1.00 - 2.50 spins to implement the 100% bonus. Was somehow in the evening then also happy to be able to click on "withdrawal".

Super....hab me extra times again to give you a thumbs up.

With me it is always so. When I deposit in a casino and the account balance goes up, I also manage to divide me over several days that I can play longer time there. But if the account balance is lower than before this state with deposit and bonus then it switches off in the head and I continue to gamble. I want to have before I take a break at least the old account balance again or a slight plus and then continues to gamble until this goal or everything is lost. That is why it is nothing for me to deposit such high amounts in a casino.

Well, some people look at funny pictures on Facebook for 7 hours a day, others virtually bang people over the head for 16 hours a day and others have a great time watching some stupid talent shows or TV series. Everybody should spend his time the way he wants to. For my part, I wouldn't prejudge anyone across the board or accuse anyone of having an influence on their brain activity.


A little anecdote on the side. My first computer, an Atari 800XL, which I got when I was 10 years old at the end of the 80's, was able to awaken my interest in the English language, as well as the will to learn a programming language. Even if the beginnings with Atari Logo were rather spartan and the main part consisted of colorful, moving pictures.

You see, and you can use the English now wonderfully when you have to argue with stubborn foreign-language online casino support
