Hello Mate,
I have had similar issues to you and I am 18 years old too. That is part of the problem, one of my favourite things with gambling was the fact people knew I was young but would walk in to casino or bookies with a couple of "bags" in my pocket, and I enjoyed this reputation as a "sicko" on the Roullete.
I like you liked the machines, and loved the Roullete on them. Have done thousands of pounds in them in the 3 months from my 18th birthday, but I have not touched the Roullete machines in about 2 or 3 weeks. I was sick and tired of people telling me that I had to stop gambling, and I don't know your circumstances but if you hang around a lot of heavy gamblers like me you will know the sick stories and things that they have told you and you have time to stop. But at the end of the day, if you don't want to stop you won't. The only advice I can give is to try and stop your cash flow so you respect money more, when you walk around with a grand it is hard to respect the money you have to work hard for. So maybe don't carry your bank cards when you know your going to be near the bookies. I believe it is completely possible to give up completely give up gambling but you have to really want to, and I'm not sure if you do, if you do want to then go to a meeting, if you still wish to gamble then just try to control it. It's not neccersarily the money you want to win, it is the thrill of playing. But another way I have tried is to find anoter hobby or way to spend your time. And just remember the Roullete machines are boring and predictable and there are
Much better things to do than do your brains on them.
