3 week’s ago, I started gambling, big. Right now, I have lost everything and a bit more. I was so depressed and couldn’t sleep, so I started thinking. Before this, I have always been a slacker who was always looking for the easy way out. I had a job but I only worked 2 days a week. My life consisted of doing no work, spend all my time playing video games, shooting pool and movies (and rockets of course). I spend more money then I make but it was never a big deal to me because I had money. Well, now that I have official hit rock bottom, I finally realized how f*cked up my life really is. I don’t know, maybe in some ways, I needed to hit rock bottom to see this. I have decided to go out and apply for jobs today. Hopefully I can land a better job then the one I have now and start working full time, get my act together. … Damn, I still can’t believe I lost everything. I guess now I finally see how some people can throw their lives away gambling. My parents always told me that gambling is wrong, but I always felt that I could win. How stubborn and naïve I was. I am still contemplating on whether or not I should inform my parents of what is going on. On one hand, it would be easier on my conscious; on the other hand, I really am not in the mood to hear any “I told you so...” from them, I feel horrible already. Either way, I’m gonna try super hard to find a job, and if I can’t I’m gonna get more shifts at the one I’m at now. I’m so frustrated..
I feel for you buddy, But I probably won't give you any advice because I think I fell in love over the internet tonight.
I gambled last night. Luckily it was just $3. SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio - One ticket sold in Ohio won a multistate Mega Millions lottery jackpot worth $155 million, lottery officials said today. The ticket for Tuesday's drawing, sold at a convenience store in this Cleveland suburb, was the only one to match all five numbers and the Mega Ball number, said Mardele Cohen, spokeswoman for the Ohio Lottery.
I ran into Fat Tony the other night. He wants his money or else! Seriously, though, who the hell can live only working 2 days a week? Sounds like you were scraping by in the party man's lifestyle. Doesn't sound like you had much money to lose which is probably a good thing. See...if you would have won big, then you would probably have become addicted to gambling(if your not already). Then, you would eventually lose everything you won. It all balances out in the end once you lose control. There's still hope for you.

Well with the NFL playoffs coming up soon, relax. You'll have a chance to win it all back! Triple parlay anyone? Honestly, I am kidding..... I used to room with 3 guys in a Lakehouse, and one of them got in deep with a bookie at the time. Sports gambling. He ended up getting a job as a used car salesman, and he climbed out of his hole in about 6 months. Of course, we all let him off on the rent for several months to get his debt paid. In any case, it's a new year, and you can make a fresh start. Good luck to you~
i gamble everyday. learn how to play tx holdem really well and you can rape the idiots at party poker of their mortgage and car payments. of course, if you're emotional i'd advise against playing it.
Does gambling take any skill? It seems to me that it would be kind of hard to get addicted to giving your money away.
Wow, what a coincidence. I found that exact site 3 weeks ago and played for about a week, tx holdem. I have been playin holdem a group of friends for the past year and overall, I have won a couple hundred bucks (try not to keep it clear since we are all friends), so I figured why not try out this online stuff, less personal. Well, I quickly saw how many bad players there were and by the end of the first week, I was playing NL and had a won nearly a thousand dollars. After a week of christmas vocation, I come back and started playing again. All was good until I ran into this hand, where I completely f-cked up. (keep in mind this is no limit, and I raised a fair amount before the flop) My hand: Ac Kc Community, in this order: 9c 5c 3d 2h 7c Opp. hand: 6c 8c From there on out, my game became downward spiral that has left me now broke. I don't know, I have always loved poker and was always a decent player, but now I can't play a single poker hand with out thinking of that sh*t. That is why I have decided to quit, at least for a few years so I can get my sh*t together. Thanks for the support everyone, it really means a lot to me.
Get another credit card and try going "double or nothing" over and over again until your luck changes.
