just wondering has any one got any good adive to give up these fobt been playing them for as long as i can rember had a few big wins but i allways no i will loose the money at some point i think we all do well i have been loosing money i cant afford to loose its taking over my life been hypotised that never worked tryed staying out of bookies all ways get dragged any one got any good advice can u get in to rehab from the nhs for gamberling ?
i did try them they were a good help put me in touch whith some were but they wanted me to check in for 8 months no out side contact lol i cant afford to be away that long cant afford to gamble either its hard was something on tele yesterday about some tablets that might stop addiction dead hopefully that will come good does any one else win big but no there going to loose it its crazy i all ways do turned 350 in to 3 grand lost it all in a hour its the hardest addiction to beat as its a secret one if your a smack head your can tell if your a pss head u can tell but a guy whith an addiction just looks the same pretty sad when u can work out every cash option on a roullett table lol
How about them self exclusion things? heres a little story you may relate too.....my mate once went to the co-op for some bacon and eggs, he took £10 cash with him, the bookies is next door and the gambler in him said i'll nip in for a quick dabble on roulette and win enough to pay for my shopping, the £10 went first spin, he went home for more money and done a grand shortly afterwards, a very expensive sandwich, roulette is the crack cocaine of the gambling world!

Bob, I sympathise with you mate, the next time you are tempted just take a minute to think about how sick you will be feeling when walking out with nothing. Really visualise it. Visualise those losing numbers coming in, over and over again. Really feel the pain of it. Then think how lucky you are to have the money still in your pocket. Say "fuck you bookmakers" under your breath and move on....
Try it.
Try it.

Bob666- you have accomplished the hardest step it admitting the problem. Well done with the honesty.
It’s something nearly everybody on this site has experienced. I only became “in the know” after a youthful fascination with the things, not before significant losses I add.
I know you shouldn’t start a sentence with but, BUT those roulette machines are the most blatant example of a gambling addict in a person. Corporate junkies devise them, getting fat off bonuses [we’ve all heard that recently], without incite into what it does to the man in the street. They are the root of all evil, the cause of many a broken life.
You have to stop, because you cannot win.
This is not an attempt to be condescending, just a short-sharp analysis of the facts.
Please PM me for some friendly advice, it's a community.
There is an end.
Peace.

Stop is the best advice. But that's easy to say.
Take up quiz machines. Getting good at these takes about 8 hrs practise a day for around 3 months depending on which game(s) you target. If you do it seriously it's a/ Quite fulfilling and b/ Means you have no time to play roulette
Once you get to the stage of winning £80-£90 a day for 'risking' £5-£7, you then wonder why you ever put £1 on a roulette table in the first place.
It's not what Gamcare will tell you but it's got a few people I know off gambling.
