Hi there,
Yesterday i was playing roulette with a mate and went from 10 euro to 185 euro, but we all know how that ends..
So we went all in a few times and lost them all.
I wanted to make some money that day so i deposited 100euro, wich i almost immediately lost.
I was stupid enough to try and cover the losses by depositing another 200euro, but i lost that too..
Im now down 310 euro wich is ALOT to me, i dont know how im ever gonna explain this at my parents..
They are gonna kill me if i wont do it myself...
I wonder how i'm gonna get this money back, i earn only 200euro/month. But i did learn my lesson, im never ever gambling again, its too depressing if you lose.

Hello ratherbcrazy: I'm so sorry you had this unfortunate experience! I guess perhaps the best way to explain it to your parents is to frame it as having been a learning experience. You know you'll never do that again! Hopefully they'll understand. Hope this all works out for you...

Hi there. I would like to recommend you the movie called Stake-Full movie about gambling-true stories (2016) . It is based on true stories of gamblers. Just enter like that in youtube search. I am new in this forum so I am not alowed to post links. Hope that you will manage to find it. Even if you are sure at the moment that you won't gamble ever again still I encourage you to watch it. Also, in case of emergency you can contact center herc time which is mentiond in the movie and at least ask them for books which they use in process of treating their clients. Good luck.

Hi there,

I was reading the message of ratherbcrazy, and I have a similar predicament. Except that it has been going on for several years already. Whatever I earn from my monthly paycheck, I get to lose at least 25-30% to electronic bingo, before it was online casino.
I always have the intention of limiting what I will play before I start, but I end up putting more in, always! And just this month, I lost more than half of my yearend paycheck. I know this is really an addiction already, but it always pushes me to go back in and try to win back some of my hard earned money. Any suggestions? I've read psychotherapy is needed for such a scenario like mine. I haven't seen the movie yet recommended by Jeka85, but I really think I will in the next few days.
