Get professional help immediately. Calm down for a few days. Exercise can help, or grab an old book. You need to distract yourself immediately, as the first few days will be very difficult. Good luck.

Because I can't lose ? And at some point the shit doesn't matter thought comes then the wallet is empty you feel bad and liberated. As I mentioned, I had that more often in December and lost a lot of money. I had no wins nothing. This month was very very expensive 8k or almost 9 is a lot of money in the end. I am honest as mentioned I have to stop doing this. Even now my thoughts only revolve around the gambling hall I have to get the money back which never happens anyway. What triggers me is that others are constantly winning and I never do. You start thinking that can't be true, the machine has to give. I don't even feel like Christmas anymore because of that...

I can understand how you feel. I think most people can do that because almost everyone has lost control of themselves at some point.

But what I can't understand is the following logic: you've been in the red with around 35k since the summer, go to an arcade where you can only win over 5k if you're very, very lucky and gamble away more money. What do you expect from a gambling hall win? Even if you win the Jackpot (let's say 10k), you will still be in the red. Accordingly, you will always consider yourself a loser.

Even if you win 5k or more, I'll guarantee you one thing: it won't feel as cool as you think it will. Firstly, the length of the payout. 400€ per hour. That would be 12 hours of just sitting there doing nothing. Nobody does that, so you're gambling on the side and possibly losing part of your "big win". On the other hand, as I said, you will still consider yourself a loser because you haven't yet won back your total losses. So you will continue to play and, depending on how good Fortuna is with you, you will either continue to win or lose again.

It's just that I lose 200 euros in about 30 minutes playing several machines. Then 500 in about 2-3 hours, often without playing...then you see 10 cent players with 500 euros and then you see yourself as a victim. You have stupid thoughts. I can never repeat my money as I have gambled away 2 million in my life. All that in the arcade! I'm in the black at the online casino. I don't know if you know these thoughts, you know you lose before and you go in and then you really lose. I honestly try not to go all the time because it p**ses me off. Just going out as a winner again, I realize that you don't win 1000. But I can't manage 100 euros, no matter how high, and that really bugs me.

Then get yourself banned and you won't be able to get back in.

You shouldn't really care what the others do or win. There will always be people who win a lot of money with a small bet. But as I said, you shouldn't let that influence you.

I won't be banned, but I have to learn to avoid casinos now and that will be difficult. I will report honestly here.

You won't be able to do that if you continue to have free access to the arcades at all times without an Oasis ban. I'm pretty sure you do, as much and as often as you like to play on the boxes

Do you not want to be banned or is that not possible for other reasons? In any case, I agree with Falko, without a ban you'll be back in a casino sooner or later.

It's only about gambling halls where I lose control, if I would make an Oasis ban, I couldn't play anything anymore. I know that sounds wrong, but there are lots of illegal halls where I could play like that. I was also free from playing for three years, no not before Corona. I was doing very well during that time. I also have a lot of gamblers around me. I try not to play at all now. That sounds strange without me, the hall will have a few thousand less sales anyway and that's because of the small halls. I've now had 9 times a year where nothing comes. In December alone 900 gone, 650 gone, 2800 gone and no wins.that basically shows I'm stupid. I no longer want to have this feeling of being a zombie and going out with an empty wallet and nothing in my stomach. I have now decided to radically withdraw my sports betting account is blocked for 3 months as well as my Online Casinos and with some I have had myself completely blocked. The money is gone, but the 16 hours of time are worse. Thank you for your honesty.

So many people here have already said the right thing. I sincerely hope that you can get out of this vicious circle completely and successfully get through the next few weeks without any pressing thoughts. Sometimes little miracles happen and things fall into your lap at the right time that help enormously. May such a miracle happen to you.

That's the point of the Oasis block. I can only understand you on one point: it takes forever to get out of the bank again. The way I read it, it can take several months before you're actually allowed to play again. So beyond your ban. But that's the only point where I understand. But if you realize that you can't handle it yourself, then you have to take action and you won't be able to avoid a ban. Unfortunately, that's the case. Maybe 12 months of complete abstinence will help you to regulate yourself in the future. If you don't want to do it with a ban, then do it with the help of the bank. You can set a daily limit. In other words, what you can withdraw in cash. At my savings bank, for example, I can withdraw €1,000 from the ATM every day. Maybe you can set it so that you can withdraw a maximum of €50 a day in cash. Maybe your family can help you. Just ask if they can hold (hide) your cards for you and say that you tend to spend money and you want to get a better handle on it in 2024. Don't even have to tell them it's gambling.

There are always ways, you just have to want to do it. I can really understand the appeal, but I can regulate myself. It's the same with alcohol. When I realize that I've had enough, then that's enough. You just have to be consistent. I'm sure you'll be able to do it too, it's just a matter of attitude.

That's the worst thing of all, when you have too many people around you doing the same thing you're doing, but you have to stop. If you want to stop smoking weed, you have to try to stay away from stoners, but you don't really want to because you like them or are friends with them. Changing your environment completely is not as easy as just putting on new shoes. It can be a real problem and can also lead to a certain amount of loneliness. Buddies go to the arcade and you stay at home because you have to, you don't want to, as if you have to be locked up somewhere

Winston Churchill's hobby was bricklaying


it's a cool hobby it takes up all your time it looks easy and shocks you at the end to see that the day wasn't pointless

Churchill also said something that might be a (small) support in your thoughts: "If you're going through hell, keep going."

Needle, you're going through hell right now, facing up to an addiction is nothing else: so keep going. a little bit every day, as another user here already wrote. i can actually understand that you don't want to solve this with a lockdown. what's right for everyone, because everything else might put you under even more pressure, nobody but you can judge (and evaluate).

but talking to a professional can't do any harm. the obsessive thoughts have to go, it doesn't matter whether they're about the arcade or cheese omelettes. it gets you down. and getting rid of them on your own is really hard, if you're unlucky you'll just go round in circles. and the fact that they're there at all - they come from somewhere and have to be dealt with. you need professional tools and a pro to show you how to use them.

i wish you lots of strength!
