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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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 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.

Ron-Russian • September 5, 2016 12:39 AM BST It's true crags - ebul will be along to confirm it i guess. who tells lies in life? whats the point,
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

jamesdean • September 5, 2016 3:42 PM BST You can set weekly limits on here or daily deposit limits
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

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,

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
