What do you do after a big win?
Nobody has liked this post so far
i have been a silent reader here for the last few years. Now I would like to post something and also write down my story.
I try to keep it short. The main question comes but also right at the beginning
How do you come down again after big gains?
I ask because I have the last few weeks an extreme up and down behind me and have now won again nicely. But now I'm really hot again to continue playing at high stakes.
My gambling career...
2003-2008
Started with sports betting. Mini-stakes and minimal losses.
Loss: Less than -€100.00
2009-2013
Bad health time. Many many doctor visits, hospitalizations and sick for months. Got a depression because of that. In these years I was then also for the first time in a gambling house. I was in these years not often and celebrated with cent stakes great profits. I must have been extremely lucky. At some point, however, I lost and the people there upset me. Difficult to explain, but it often took my mind off my depression and anxiety...
According to my annual statistics at the time, I was actually at +-0 at the end.
Loss: +-0
2014
Physically ok, depression worse. I stopped going to the casino. Instead, I started with online casinos. Played with high stakes for me and lost.
Sometimes I could pay out a profit and sometimes I lost badly. The stakes became higher. The yearly statistics was then with a loss of -3500. I went dadruch badly and I made myself for years reproaches. I never wanted to play again.
Loss: -3,500
2015
Physically better, depression still bad. Been out of games for a long time. Then played some again and finally won. Stakes not too high and actually a year's profit. Again resolved not to play anymore. Still feeling bad about 2014.
Profit: + 600
2016
Crash
Physically well again and depression better due to medication and psychologist. Out of sheer boredom started gambling again with small stakes. Out of nowhere I was in a lucky streak. Suddenly I was in the plus with 4500€ and had everything back in. Incredibly good. Really escalated after that. Hundreds of deposits and withdrawals. The stakes got sick with 10-20€ per spin. Months later my annual stats were at -10,000€. Unbelievable, again made no longer play.
Loss: -10.000
2017
The roller coaster year
Months of playing break then started to play again out of boredom. Directly had bad luck and I was already at -3,500€ this year. With my last money again fetched several larger profits. I was again with +1.900€. I also signed up at more and more casinos. In a new casino I won then with only 50€ Deposit exactly 5250€, Suddenly I was with 7.200€ in the plus. Even before the Verification in the new casino was through, I gambled away the 7,200€ with 50€ spins in a single day. I wrote to the casino that I finally needed the withdrawal to balance my account. The payout took about 1 week... I got the payout and my account was blocked BY THE casino for gambling addiction. I had never managed anything like that before ^^. I was then in this year again at 0. I was because of it but even physically bad and had to throw up. Abartige feeling. Despite this shit I started to play again in this July. I signed up at new casinos again and it started the winning streak. No matter what game, I won. Jungle Spirit +1900€ with 1€ bet or 10€ free spins Book of Ra and +4000 Euro win and other big wins. Partly with mini deposits of 50€. In different casinos the verifications carried out and paid out. As of today, I stand at a yearly profit of 13,000€.
Profit: + 13.000
Means I have recovered all my gaming losses of my life. This does not feel real. However, playing on high stakes has now dulled me. No more thrill at 5€ per spin. The worst thing is that I'm mega hot to play again. My head is full of slots. Really nasty right now...
I have already signed up in hundreds of casinos and blocked again. But there are always new Casions. Do you have any tips on how I get back on the floor. Play actually always just for fun but this has been too sick. With antigambling software I've already tried but I'm IT-ler and just bypass that^^.
What do you do after big wins, not to gamble away everything again.

So you should buy something big after a big win (TV, console, smartphone) and put a part of it into an extra savings account or something similar. I also always buy something that I know I can use next month when things go bad (gas voucher, supermarket voucher).
Best to try to stop after a big win, but unfortunately I never manage to do that... my balance is not that great... After 7 years estimated 50.000 minus or so... But strangely enough I still like to play on small stakes and then put up when I have won something. So I'm also happy about free spins on 20 cents.

Unfortunately, the self-blocking thing doesn't work (at least for me). There are always new Online Casinos where you can sign up. Unfortunately I don't have a solution for that either. You just have to be tough
If your work allows it, do a month or two in Thailand, Malaysia. There you can not gamble, because gambling is prohibited and the online casinos kick you out and you can only log back in when you are in Germany. That is actually the only solution that I would think of ...

So you can always make clear to yourself how your gaming behavior is. (I wanted to do this once, but somehow I can't manage it)
The high winnings and the associated feeling I can well understand, because I feel the same as you. (Depression / boredom, .. etc)
Congratulations by the way, that you are not in the minus after all these years, is probably rather rare^^
With me, however, it is now (fortunately) so that I am happy about profits even at lower amounts.
Whenever I'm doing really well, I cancel the payouts again and again
Larger profits make strangely always everything worse...

Well the balance sheet looked quite bad before the winning streak.
Regarding the block: I have requested 2 large payouts. The 2 withdrawals could not be cancelled either. I have then but more and more new deposited until the 7200€ were gambled. The payout took a long time and I wrote to the OC that I finally need my payout to balance my account. The money I got then also and was blocked but. Was just also a bit annoyed by the payout duration (8 days). The casino is also listed here.
Here is the censored mail history:
Me:
Dear Sir or Madam, when can I expect my 2 outstanding withdrawals? I gambled too much yesterday and need the money to balance my account again.
Casino:

@Daniel
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately I am location bound and can't leave (girlfriend, apartment, job, family, friends). But due to the high stakes, I have no desire to play games. So now I try to cancel Paypal, credit card and online banking. My problem is that I play uncontrollably due to the high winnings. Deposit 50€ and play on 50Cent for fun. An hour later I already have 1,000 euros in it and play 10 euros per spin... Well now once worked, but often goes wrong. I'm aware that I'm crap, but it makes Bock... Have now at least today and yesterday not played and limits set ^^
@tby333
Yes I always keep a statistic. But it's hard to enter big losses. But even in my annual stats this year you can see the extreme gambling.
Deposit: 19.802,70
Payout: 32.809,00
Last year it was about the other way around... With my earnings of 1.500€ net monthly these are already nasty sums.

so I can only tell you that with EVERY gambler it is so, that he plays after larger profits always higher stakes and thus loses the value of money.this is unfortunately a normal cycle when gambling and that's the big problem with this addiction.it's just like alcohol or cigarettes ... if you drink more and more or smoke verreckste also sooner to it... when gambling biste afterwards just poor to it x)
PS: If you earn only 1500 euros net you have probably ifs hochkommt 100-200 euros a month to gamble that do not hurt you.everything else should be reconsidered, if you e.g. no car and the money verzocken... or you restrict differently to gamble..Biste just unfortunately already completely addicted

The OC has reacted in exactly the right way,
Why are you justifying yourself as well? It's none of their business. Without the above underlined sentence nothing would have happened (ban) except that your Ausz. is processed^^
As a "good" OC, they even had to block you as a precaution.

Yes, car, apartment, etc. I have of course. But the joke is, that I am stingy. Except when it comes to gambling. Have also never made debts and also some savings contracts, which I could dissolve only with loss and with a period of 3 months. Only maxed out the checking account for a short time this time. Therefore, it has me financially NO overturned.
@Blackwood13
True, I don't blame the casino either. Had me even wished that it would have blocked me earlier or directly at the loss of control ^^. But of course, no casino does that.
And yes the messages I wrote shortly after the big loss. Since I was still a little off ^^
I think I try now to prevent the Deposit options and times with my psychologist from back then to make an appointment. No desire to ruin me . Currently I have yes everything reingeholt and the chance with +-0 to end my Zockerkarriere.

You do not need to apologize for this statement. That's right and I know myself that I have developed a problematic behavior. I had lost 10,000 last year and was already at an additional -3500 this year, so I already know how it feels to lose. Only by the lucky streak I have made up all the losses of the last years. Since it would be perfect now to get the jump... Therefore, I had asked here for advice on how to deal with large gains and not immediately gambled everything away again.
