Hi carefree,
Thanks for posting, its a big help knowing you and others on here have been where I am now and got out of it.
I stopped betting for a good few months and it was great having money in my pocket at the end of the month but this weekend I think its fair to say I've 'fell off'. I've spent all my wages & all my savings this on stupid football bet after football bet. I don't know how I'm going to tell my girlfriend that my savings - towards a deposit for our first house together - is now back to £0 after months and months of putting it aside.
But your post has given me hope, rather than trying to win it back when I get paid I think its time to take the hit and start over again, I'm gutted but hopeful that tomorrow is a better day.
