Got up late for work. Realised all my tools where on another job 10 miles in opp direction. Got most of the way there having picked them up. Noticed I didn't have my phone with the address in. Had to turn round to go get it. Stopped off on the bookies to have a go on the roulette. 20 mins later I'm £140 out of pocket.

Then....

A change of fortune had me coming out the bookies £270 up on the day, and a £40 footie coupon. Meant to do, lpool, arsenal, utd, Portsmouth and Burton.

Thing was I ticked the home win box. So instead of lpool I had west ham

So you were late for work, made later by having to go collect your tools. So you went to the bookies rather than hurry up for work?! Nice! I backed lolerpool :(

Since your the one who brought your gambling day up this is my assumption you have a gambling problem.
I should know I have been there.
Your money your life and I am certainly not preaching what you do with your money its entirely up to you.
Many a life is ruined by gambling I hope its not yours.

Sounds harsh but having been there I know it hurts others around us as well.
 
And while not quite as mportant as the appearance of a gambling problem.....

It was 'one of THOSE days'!!!
 
I don't and won't gamble so I don't fully understand or feel for you for the second part but I felt for you for the first part anyway, we all have one of those days when trying to get to work.

I get them often we the wee one in the house, his smile has made me almost late many times!
 
Honestly don't think I have a problem betting wise, I won!



Haha.


Just one of the crazy days, that roulette is ruthless, doubled up on the footie bet cos I was winning. Also self employed working on a sat in an empty house, hence the stop off. :thup:

To assume he has problem just because he's had a bet is stupid. Not everyone that gambles has a problem.

Back to OP, Well done on your footy coupon win but be careful on those FOBT's they are dangerous.

Im not assuming nothing but anyone who wants to back Liverpool to win has a gambling problem.

Seriously though Stu your probably right not everyone that gambles has a problem some people only bet on the National every year.
However having been a compulsive gambler and reading Dave,s post I would say he has a problem but I,m only assuming by experience however I would be happy to be proved wrong.

But anyone that puts £140 in a Roulette machine,gambles £40 notes on a bet then wins over £500 on that bet alone but only walks out £270 up has a problem but only imo.
Sometimes it only takes admitting it can set the road to recovery but this could be anyone not just the OP.

You've obviously mis read his post.

He's put £140 on the roulette and came off it with £410, a £270 profit. From that £410 he's had a £40 bet that's returned £500+ All in all he's up by a good few ton.

I personally don't like the roulette machines, they're as bad as heroin IMO.

You're guessing he's got a problem because he's gambled £140 of his money but there are a lot of people who can afford to do this.

I appreciate you've had previous problems gambling but not everyone is the same.

Ok no problem but your also probably guessing he has not got a problem,unless of course you know different then of course I stand corrected.

Also mate I never said everyone was the same in fact I said they were not.

I haven't said he hasn't got a problem, it's not my place to judge what he or anyone does with their own money. I didn't agree with your post where you "assumed" he had a gambling problem because he lost £140 on the roulette.

I only know Dave from playing the odd round with so don't know him well enough to be honest.


Do you want a bet he hasn't got a gambling problem??:whistle:
