I'd just like to say thanks for the good wishes & to the few of you who cared enough to find out that i was alright a few weeks back

I'm ok , but your instincts were good as was feeling a bit low after a bad world cup betting wise & a few other things, so have taken some time out from the forum for a while to chill & think a few life things through , this life can be testing enough without all the negativity to add here at times

I've been busy getting back upto speed with the poker which is difficult & takes far too much of my time up , so still haven't got much else done apart from watching Breaking Bad really Cool


I love all you guys that understand a bit though , so hope you are all well too !


I was a bit taken back by it all at the time with talk of phoning the Police to check on me  tbh , felt a bit like some crazed guy in one of sideshowbobs dvd's , but it is very nice to know that you guys cared , so Thanks Happy

Breaking Bad is world class.

Cant see how anyone lost on this world cup, the best was right there winking at you.

I played the world cup a bit badly & got caught out early laying the group stages
You always knew who was going to win matches but i lost on a lot of under 3.5 etc
the semi's were also tense due to extra time & then missed backing Argentina as i slept late
the 7-1 was sickening to watch in the end & just felt quite disillusioned about it all for a while , it was a long hot summer Sad but hopefully i'll turn it around this year
Report TheChaser August 9, 2014 10:48 PM BST
Made good money on the groups when sober , after that was drinking mostly for the rest and wasnt so good
Report TheChaser August 9, 2014 10:48 PM BST
Had Argentina to win from the start also so that was a sickener in the end

I fancied Germany early on i usually do , but i should've just backed the Top 4 winners market big like i intended after Spain had gone out instead of messing around with groups ,unders & all

Glad you are ok. Gambling and drinking are bad if you are suffering from depression. If you are winning, it doesn`t make you feel any better, but if you are doing your bollocks, it makes you feel 100 times worse. Alcohol, forget it, it`s a depressive on it`s own right. My advice, with good intentions, would be, chuck drinking and gambling and see a doctor. Good luck
Report Mc Moonbeam August 10, 2014 12:41 AM BST
Thanks very much Mac
and you're right , i've got drinking under control now & don't exactly Drink & Gamble in tandem i just like a couple when my work's done to chill out & watch a film or so .

I can actually deal with depression well enough too ,but the facts are all too evident in my life , sitting playing poker non stop for 6-8 hours per night (as games are just so dead in the daytime i just sleep) it's a lonely life & am just not sure why i'm still killing myself to keep up with it when i really don't enjoy playing much any longer

The Doctor can only ever prescribe more tablets , which i don't like to take , but it's been my living for a long time now that i don't know what else to do , so only i can deal with that , but i would like to quit , or calm it down soon as i have a bit of money & feel i'm just wasting my time away now , it's kinda worrying approaching 40 Mischief

Depression is a terrible terrible thing.
Report TheChaser August 10, 2014 12:52 AM BST
games where taking 5-6 hours and longer and sometimes only getting stake back when thinking i had a chance of winning , its a depressing game at times i can vouch for that

rather go out early than play for hours and gain zero
Report Mc Moonbeam August 10, 2014 12:59 AM BST
I haven't taken the pills for years , just the usual serotonin stuff like Amitriptyline , but i refuse to actually pay almost £8 per time now

I'd like to quit although i've made my money from the game , it started out a fun way to make a bit back in the days but is so brutal nowadays to stay in the game , it's just all ****pro's nowadays , so boring & tough to beat

I much prefer sports betting too , and am going to try & take it more seriously the next few years , here's hoping , and gl Wink

What kind of poker were you playing btw ?
Report themightymac August 10, 2014 12:59 AM BST
True, but the problem is that if a person is suffering from depression and anxiety, the person doesn`t want to see or speak to anyone, let alone go out the door.

Sports Betting and watching the matches on tv is much more enjoyable than sitting playing Poker at a Computer all day. I`ve never played at Poker, although I find it a fascinating game. Mind you, years ago, long before the internet, I used to partake in some major card schools. 3 card Brag was the game for BIG bucks.

Pitch and Toss schools were huge in the 70s and there was some skill involved in tossing the coins.

I lost a few big games of 3 card brag in my pub days , didn't really like the game much

Internet poker is much more viable as it pays you Bonuses etc for playing , unlike sports which hate you winning too much

even in the 90s pitch and toss was going on , was good if there was a load of you and you got the jackpot

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I...

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you that I will learn from mistakes.
Tears stream down on your face
And I...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
