I lost 13 grand in less than an hour friday night..

You've never had more than a monkey in your account in your sad life, Ron, I'm being kind there, nearly said a pony

was playing black jack mostly

400£ a hand - 2 hands at a time

Don't know where i'm going with this thread, guess i'm just
saying don't act like an absolute **** in life like me.

Good night & Good luck

Will you be leaving the forum?

No - Just not betting anymore.

so if anyone needs any advise be it domestic / betting / bullying
i'll still be floating about

advice ffs

I Could kill myself but i wouldn't know how to do it

I've been there, Ron, so can sympathise with your feelings. I wouldn't play online blackjack, but have certainly done my conkers at the casino a few times. 

Best of luck, sir.

Cheers Poker

people wouldn't believe the severe pain you put upon yourself.

it's sick - but i'm alive - suppose that's the priority

even though it seems a poor substitute to winning , all people remember is the fantastic
winning times even if that happens 1 in 5 as silly as it sounds.

Used to win chunks playing games of skill and do my nuts playing games of chance. Ultimately Ron, you just have to decide not to do it. Nowadays if I stick a score in a fruity I'm beating myself up for days.

We could advise you on things.
Best to determine your pain threshold first.

I tend to remember the heavy losses more than the big wins, Ron.  I'm past my really big gambling days, but clearly recall losing just about everything more than once or twice.  As you say, it's crazy what gamblers put themselves through.

I tell you what though, sir, I actually look back on those days with some nostalgic affection (including the losses).  They were exciting times and I'm grateful for the memories.  You'll feel that way too in time, so I hope you might take heart from that.

Fook me, people taking this seriously cray, cray.

they are exciting when i win Poker.

my problem is i'm paralytic most of the time so when i wake up it's a shock,

an awful shock

It's true crags - ebul will be along to confirm it i guess.

who tells lies in life? whats the point,

Stop doing it then.

In July 2012 I lost over £350,000 in three minutes ............................... Wish I'd hired Mrs Reynards solicitor

You wouldn't understand, if it was only that simple.

It's rather hypocritical of me but I've always considered online gambling to be morally wrong, it's just too easy to incur large losses very quickly, especially when drunk. 

Internet roulette, blackjack or (worst of the lot) slot machines, should be illegal in my view.

And that's not my pocket talking, all my heavy losses have been offline.

Don't drink see a shrink

Dont bet be a vet

Expecting to beat a house edge long term is not morally wrong, it's just stupid.

In my PS account right now there is $1,300,000 in play money I ran up from $1,000 in two fairly short session whilst bored.  Does anyone believe that feat would have been possible with real money?

At roulette I forgot to mention.

g2d, anyone believing that Ron has really lost 13 large in less than an hour is a proper moron!

Jeez

WAC

Unbelievably, I used to win loads and loads on games chance, then lose it all on games of skill; probably to jed davidson.

I just bet on the horses ONLY - absolutely nothing else. My £10 per horse spend (£20 each way if the price is big enough) with an average of £100 spend per day.

Hoping I'm considered as a small time occasional client and won't raise any warning flags with the bookies! So far so good, apart from 3 bookies who have taken away my BOG  privelidge - Victory Chancer, Sid James and SpoilSports.

I dare say I had a few quid of yours on the Referendum UB.

It's rather hypocritical of me but I've always considered online gambling to be morally wrong, it's just too easy to incur large losses very quickly, especially when drunk.

You can check in an instant how much you've deposited and lost on a debit card. On the high street, you lift £10 out of your pocket do a bet, lift another £10 and the next you know you don't know how much you've won or lost. Betfair is good in that respect. Other sites like Pokerstars and Paddy Power won't give you your deposit history which is wrong imo.

Internet roulette, blackjack or (worst of the lot) slot machines, should be illegal in my view.

Gambling on mathematical games is a loser in the long run. The house has an edge. I heard an interesting poker podcast a few weeks ago where a teacher brought in a roulette table and gave the kids one chip each. One lucky kid won 36 chips but the kids quickly realised that the real winner was the house who made 1 chip on every spin.

Does anyone get the email "One spin and your in"? I devoutly click on it every week and take my 1 x 20p spin and then close the arcade down again. There's £15k worth of prizes up for grabs so my thinking is I must hit some week? Despite 6 months of playing I've yet to win anything from the promotion. That must show the kind of turnover Betfair are making on these when they can afford to give away £15k each week and still make a profit on top.

I'm a bankroll nit btw, I started the year with zero and have managed to turn it into £600 withdrawals and a £100+ bankroll playing poker. I blog about it but mods keep removing my link (I'm an affiliate which is my main reason for doing this)

I've heard Goji berries help with blood-clotting.

I left work in 97 with 2 years redundancy, and an insurance policy that paid 2/3 of my salary for 18 months as long as I could provide evidence that I was looking for a job.I had no other money.

In 2002 having discovered Betfair, I was amazed at how easy it was to make money, after the learning curve and won 35k in 3 years.

Then one crazy night on the golf (It was when Monty blew the major) I lost 17k in one night and 8k the week after chasing.

Got most of it back but took years, and I often think how wealthy I would be but for that mad couple of weeks.

Much harder to win now than whem I first started.

Yes it is true, I can confirm that to crags and others.....I can also confirm Ron is a complete idiot

In fact it may have been my suggestion he take his own life...it is not the first time he has done this but by far the worse.

But this hides an uncomfortable truth that these on line casino websites are irresistible to otherwise sane and intelligent
human beings.

I wish they were banned. But of course it is the dark of gambling there are always addicts. But nevertheless it is peoples choice,
for better or worse

You can set weekly limits on here or daily deposit limits

Still don't believe it (nap)

was drink involved

yes..xmoneyx

really sorry to hear this Ron. Don't panic. As you said, youre alive.

Ron does all that...but if he asks them to remove them, they do....not a lot of point
They cannot resist taking his money

This is on line casino only...sports betting they set the limits themselves

They cannot remove them. It's automatic and would take 7 days to up limits

It's all a load of bollox... as if a pisshead loony like Ron would have that amount to lose! £13 maybe

You don't believe any one on here crags do you

well you are wrong!

The worst thing is Ron sometimes wins a few thousand, but because he wins he is always tempted back

so it all goes back.

The odds are in favour of the casino, the longer anyone plays the more certain they are to lose.

The only way to beat them is to go all in for a short period and never use them again, and just hope our luck is in

because that is all it is.

Ron Russian ..
"I was playing black jack mostly"
Having played BLACKJACK in many London Casinos ...many years ago (Playboy, Golden Nugget etc ..)
We used to call it "instant death" dealers always seemed to be lucky and win.
One night in the PLAYBOY CLUB against all odds I was on a good run ...then one of the heavies came up to me and accused me of
"card counting" which I wasn't ...they made it quite clear they didn't like me winning.
Some time ago I tried a few hands on BETFAIR ...Bank seemed to be having an unusually lucky run ?
There's me standing on e.g.19, 20 against a dealers 6 ...she then draws cards to 21 ( 10 & 5)????
Was happening far to often .....
You have my sympathy mate.

Ron

I've managed to get a 1000£ back - i got a 1000£ bonus.

You probably need to have a certain level of silliness to qualify for the bonus but
just needed to turn it over once which i've done.

I've got that winning feeling back!

Yes know what your saying Ron, quite often you can be standing on 20 with the dealer showing 5,

& your thinking i know whats coming here! 8 8 as an example (left gobsmacked)

It just looked totally bent Ron ...happened to many times !

Some sites appear bent to me, not played Hills for a few years but i must
have played 20 + times & never won once, they've obviously got the greed button
on MAX to keep near everything, Ladbr0kes is another i've learned to stay away from.

then you have other sites where NEW users are highly likely to have a decent win the
first time playing.....all in all id agree it appears bent even though people say they
don't need to rig it, as you say Ron odd things happen that just don't seem right.

You have decided to gamble your way out of it Ron, said like a true gambler

NO

it was just a bonus

ok Ron

Ron,

I hope you're only having one mate

got some neck

I even lost the bonus Trilby mentioned just above, from 1k i got it up to 2600,
thought here we go, ended up with Zero....could have done without that
experience tbh.

So that it i'm just watching Movies & TV from now on, no
more betting

good luck Ron all been there

I see what you mean with the picture now trilby!

no i'm not having a laugh, as much as crags wants to disbelieve me.

but i've addressed it, i've been here before many times, i think this is my
last chance though, you can't keep digging - but all sorted for now

Cheers Capt

You see me involved in the football threads a few weeks back Trilby.


i opened up all my limits to max - i was playing with fire - i won a couple
of grand to start with so thought i was fine, that was the worse thing that could
have happened as it left me off my guard until the obvious time come, sneaked
up behind me on an innocent friday night staying in minding your own business

but that's it get on with it, it's severe pain but im used to it

Well, at least I know you won't be blaming it on Brexix Ron.

GL bruv & keep yer chin up.

Hope ye get it back Ron.
Not in the same league but did something daft myself.
Deposited £200 with Baldy. Was for footie betting and to play in the Klups games on poker.
Won the depositors freeroll and the Klups game and one other mttt and had £1200 after a few days.
Lost the lot on the roulette wheel along with another £500 chasing.
Rarely played roulette before but have avoided it ever since.

Hope ye get it back Ron.

Not a hope in hell's chance of that happening aka!

this is last chance salon - any deeper & i'll never get out the hole

In terms of affect on my wealth it didn't make any difference (was only £700 of my cash) but mentally it hurt real bad.
Was a great week for me and way above the norm but spoiled in a few daft minutes.
Was a few years back but I've never played, or been tempted to play, roulette ever since.
The footie betting is purely for an interest but I look to make a profit on the poker. Up £1000 was a great week for me.

Hope ye get it back Ron.

Not a hope in hell's chance of that happening aka!

Too true Ron!...you don't ever want to go there again Ron, YOU CANNOT WIN

Wd on your poker win Akabula

Not that I have found the secret of wealth, I just don't lose it as fast as you Ron

"i opened up all my limits to max - i was playing with fire - i won a couple
of grand to start with so thought i was fine, that was the worse thing that could
have happened as it left me off my guard until the obvious time come, sneaked

Comical thread.

You can win Ebul, either by Arbing on sports betting or by playing Poker as in my case.
But it's a slow way to wealths that will never be life changing.

Losing money is never funny crags.

I agree akabula

I can win sometimes in what I do akabula

but it is never a lot.....which is what I need

I am too old to take it the edge now...it is jut something I like doing now

Millions Gone in the Tennis on Murray Ron ,its only money Mate

No such thing as a certainty.
Learned that when Steve Davis was 1/10 to beat newcomer Tony Knowles.
Was the first round of the World Championships and Knowles won 10-1.
The type of sure thing that you stuck in with yer bet to pay the tax.

That's correct case,

It's silly to do it in the first place but it ain't the end of the world.
