Mon 101125 Woke up...and, decided to play Roulette...bet £9.35/won £10.05p. Then, quit...

I woke up...and, as usual did some FREE betting online at: - https://sports.williamhill.com - https://www.ladbrokes.com - https://www.coral.co.uk I noticed there was a £4.35 balance inside of my Ladbrokes a/c.; only the minimum amount you are allowed to withdraw is £5.00; too, the minimum amount you are allowed to deposit is, also, £5.00. This meant in order for me to get to withdraw the £4.35 balance; I would first have to make a deposit of £5.00 minimum; then, I would be allowed to withdraw £9.35. So, that's exactly what I did...made the £5.00 deposit. Only, then, my mind starts telling me...; why not do some gambling, instead... 'before' making any withdrawal. Another part of my mind is telling me...; no, please, don't do that...; because what if you end up loosing it 'all'...? (As I've done so many times in the past, repeatedly, again and again...) So, what I did was just have a 'quick' go at gambling...playing the game of, Roulette; It was an in...

Wed 130825 Bet £40.00 on Ladbrokes Roulette...lost 'half' through doubling up...

DIFFICULTIES PAYING BILLS.../PLUS, PAYING FOR FOOD/DRINK...?! First, I knew I was totally flat broke...; as the money left inside of my current a/c. can only cover 2 bills...both of which are due, immediately, right now. Once those 2 bills have been paid... - £33.00 Council Tax - £35.00 Travel pass (I need this to go to college, soon.)   ----------   £68.00 And, I only have no more than £50.00 being left inside of my bank a/c. So, the question is how to make some more money 'legally'...as opposed to 'steal'. I decided to try going gambling, again...; if only to make a few pounds...possibly, £10.00. Well, they do say that, 'the best laid plans of mice and men can go awry...?!' ----------------------- I deposited £40.00 into my Ladbrokes a/c. And, started playing one of my favourite games: Premium Roulette. I would love to say the funds went 'up/and, down' rather wildly...; but, certainly, not by much...; I remember the total hovering around £38.xx/£39.xx....

Tue 120825 Bet £10.00 Ladbrokes Roulette...lost everything...nil balance.

WON £5.00+ Just as the day was ending...I decided to do some FREE bets at: Coral/William Hill/ Ladbrokes. I think, I won some money at Coral...; but, only just mere pence. I won £5.30 at William Hills...; the which total I immediately withdrew...it being over the minimum one is allowed to withdraw...which is £5.00 minimum. WENT BACK IN TO GAMBLE, AGAIN Only trouble there was with that one win...; I was instantly 'tempted' to go and gamble some more.  So, I decided this time to invest £10.00 on Ladbrokes Premium Roulette(one of my favourite games). The usual 'up/down' Roller Coaster ride...at one point my money went up to reach £16.++. Only that's when I started to believe I was thoroughly 'invincible'...so didn't wish to 'stop' gambling...; just collect the money and run.  Continuing to gamble, further...I ran into a spot of some seriously bad luck...where I was betting on 'black'...and, 'red' came up 8 times in a row...; each tim...

Wed 060825 Gambled: Ladbrokes Roulette Dep. £50.00 -> Lost...just: £2.10 bal. left...?!

WAS WINNING.../THEN, LOST EVERYTHING   I continued betting with the £30.00 I'd won from yesterday...; by playing Ladbrokes Premium Roulette. ----- My total went 'up/and, down'... I think, at it's height I was 'up' £50.00+. At it's lowest I was down to: £6.xx. Still continued playing...betting really 'high' when my balance became too low...; and, then, luckily it won. ----- But, at a certain point, I found I could not get back up past the £25.00 mark...; and, eventually, everything went down, down, down...; to when I found myself left with just £2.10p left...; -(I think, there was a run of 6 x black/when I was betting on 'red'...; and, each time doubling up when I lost...; just increased my loosing total)- ...that's when I decided to hell with this...; finally, I quit! ----- GOT TO SET SOME STRICT RULES...IF YOU DON'T WISH TO LOOSE EVERYTHING  One needs to introduce 'stop limits', I'm afraid...if you wish to leave gambling ...

Tue 050824 Gambled Ladbrokes Roulette: Dep. £10 -> won £30

I have to pay for a yearly 60+ FREE London travel pass. -(I should have sent them proof of address/and, £10.00 to renew, yearly; but, unfortunately, I seemed to have missed that email reminder.)-  The cost of renewal is £35.00. As I only had £10.00 inside of my bank a/c.; therefore, I decided to gamble to see if I can make up the rest of the money. I deposited £10.00 into my Ladbrokes a/c.;  choose to play the game: Premium European Roulette. The usual 'up/down' story...; but, at the end of the day, I came away with a winning total of £30.00(or, 300% gain).  

Sun 030825 Gambled: £3.xx/won £60.00/continued gambling...lost the whole lot! Bet on 'red'...; and, 'black' came up 11 times in a row...?!

Today, my bank a/c balance said: £50+.  Then I went and did some shopping at Crown Point Lidl Supermarket in West Norwood...the balance when I came back home said just: £27.00 left. But, I was meant to keep, at least, £44.00 balance in there...; in order to pay for my Dulwich Picture Gallery 'friends' yearly membership fee. - https://www.dulwichpicturegallery.org.uk Honestly, I couldn't 'resist' going out and buying myself some food; as food stocks were getting really low . ----- I brought some biscuits:- - sweet biscuits 2 x packets of chocolate biscuits - salt biscuits: Chedder thins ...together with some food:  1 x packet of Sausage Rolls 3 x Mangos 1 x easy peeler tangerines. 1 x packet of porridge 3 x packets of cereals 5 x jam doughnuts 1 x carton of milk 1 packet of 2 small green cabbages ...basically, the stuff I brought cost on average around £1.00 each; so, I wasn't totally freaking out as I brought more and more stuff. However, I was really surprised ...

Fri 250725 Invested £5.00 into Ladbrokes/and, lost the lot...?!

Image
When I tried signing into my Ladbrokes a/c.;  I saw that there as a £2.xx balance. I decided I wish to withdraw this sum, immediately, right away. Only trouble there is...the minimum amount you can withdraw is £5.00. So, this meant I had to deposit into my Ladbrokes a/c £5.00; in order to be able to withdraw the £2.xx funds won; bearing in mind, that the minimum deposit is £5.00. ---- Only when I went and deposited in the £5.00;  -(thus, leaving me with a £7.xx balance)-; my mind said why not go and do some Roulette gambling, first; before withdrawing any money. So, I went ahead...; and, initially, made small bets...10p/20p; and, if it lost I then 'doubled up'...until when it won; a gambling strategy which paid off for a while. Only, one can not rely too much on the strategy of, always, 'doubling up'...; as, sometimes, your money runs out completely due to repeated 'losing'. In this case, I bet on 'red'...; and, I believe 'black' came up  somethi...

Sat 010225 Gambled...invested £20.00/won £50.00/withdrew everything

I started gambling Saturday evening, maybe, 7 PM...; and, stopped Sunday morning at around 2:40 AM. I decided to deposit £10.00 into both Ladbrokes/William Hill playing my favorite game, Roulette. The Ladbrokes £10.00 just simply 'vanished'...and, in almost next to no time...?! That is to say, I recall it went up at one point...; but, mostly, went down...until there was nothing left...just a few measley pence...which is when I gave up. The William Hill £10.00 grew and grew...very slowly...0.25p at a time; until, eventually, I became utterly impatient...and, started betting high...instead, of doubling up/I tripled up...which caused me to triple my losses/as well as, triple my gains...; then, I found my total balance was going all over the place...at one point it had said £49.75/and, at another point, £2.25...?! Then, it went back up to become a 'round' £50.00(which I already decided was my goal of the evening). That's when  I decided I've really had quite enough ...

Ladbrokes Roulette: Invested £100.00/Lost £70.00/Recovered back £30.00 (in £5.00 withdrawals)

GREW TOO OVER-CONFIDENT ABOUT MY LAST WINNINGS...MAKING ME WANT GO BET EVEN MORE MONEY I'm afraid, that the downside of my my last wins -(when I'd won over 4 times what was my original investment of just £5.00)- was I became totally 'over-confident'...always, an extremely dangerous thing when it comes to doing any gambling; so, through having had that 'one' good experience, it did only serve to encourage me to gamble even far more. Today, I played Roulette; but, instead of my usual 'limited' £5.00 deposit...I allowed myself to get completely carried away in 'blind hope'...and, went and deposited £100.00; but, I ended up coming away with just £30/meaning overall I lost £70.00. (That is so totally 'gut-wrenching' to me...because I could NOT afford to lose so much...?!) At first, I was just gambling...and, the total was running around going all over the place...'up/down' just like a see saw...; that's when I remembered it's v...

Deposited: £10.00/£5.00 into each separate a/c. William Hills/Ladbrokes. ----- Felt the gambling 'itch'...had to scratch it. :: William Hill £5.00 investment...; lost everything almost instantly...?! Played Roulette, in almost next to no time, the William Hill £5.00 bet lost...I had only 0.75p left...making me feel totally 'downhearted'...which is when I decided to quit. (Transferred the 0.75p into my WH Poker a/c., instead.) ----- :: Ladbrokes £5.00 investment....managed to double/triple/quadruple it. Moved over to Ladbrokes Roulette..where, initially, I was able to almost double my money: £19.94...going back right down to £13.54...then, back up to £20.54/-etc. (Nothing is 'certain' about gambling...; so, it's best when ahead...to just take the money and RUN...; before it's all 'too late...?!') I can't believe it, I was just 0.06p off my goal of doubling my money to gain £20.00...when I had to watch all my money go back down...to reach £13.5...

100125 Gambled William Hill/Ladbrokes - lost £10.00

I gambled at both William Hill/Ladbrokes...depositing £5.00 in each separate account; thus, investing a total of £10.00 altogether. I played both Roulette/and, Poker (WH browser based); lost the whole damn lot. ----- NOTE: It was NOT a case of I just simply went and lost, lost, lost...; but, instead, the money went 'up and down' -the usual Roller-Coaster ride-; and, sometimes, I was winning almost £15.00 after having invested just £5.00. It was the usual trouble of just not knowing when to stop/and, also, betting bigger and bigger stakes which when it lost...ended up wiping out my balance, altogether. ----- Anyway, that's me having scratched my gambling itch. Hopefully, I won't get 'tempted' to do any further gambling, at least, for now. NOTE: The strong temptation to gamble does never ever leave me...; I could easily stay there all day/night long doing endless online gambling...and, think I had just died and gone up to sheer blue Heaven; I feel as if I'm in...

Tue 200424 Played FREE games at William Hill...won: £9.24

I decided to have a go at playing...FREE games...at: - https://sports.williamhill.com - https://www.ladbrokes.com ...much to my surprise, I won especially well at William Hill one arm bandit 'virtual' machines; I won: £9.24. However, when I decided to continue playing when my FREE play was over with; then, I lost...and, my total said, £8.24; that's when I decided to not risk the win...just withdraw everything...before I end up loosing the whole lot...?! ----- Playing at ladbrokes I wasn't even  half so lucky...; there I won just 0.20p. But, then, again, winning something is better than losing, I guess. I just decided to let that money stay in that a/c. until when I can get to build the winnings up some more...enough to be able to withdraw...; as the minimum withdrawal is £5.00.

Mon 250923 12:04 William Hill(slots)/Ladbrokes: FREE games: Lost £14.00/Won £6.00

PLAYING FREE GAMES AT BOTH WILLIAM HILLS/LADBROKES ----- WILLIAM HILL I decided to have a go at playing slots at William Hill. Because, I had played FREE games, and, won some money...; I can't recall exactly what the balance had said...but, it was under £2/3.00. Anyway, after doing the usual Roller-Coaster ride...up/down...I, eventually, ended up winning £20.00. Next, I thought to myself this is really easy...; so, rather than withdraw...why not see if I can make more...such as £25.00+. Well, my balance just went down and down and down...I was playing games at .20p/though, most at .10p spins, at a time. Next thing I knew my balance said just £6.00 left. I decided rather than go and lose it 'all'...might as well withdraw at that point...which is exactly what I did. ----- LADBROKES I also played FREE games at Ladbrokes...I believe I did 'Spin The Wheel'...and, it won something like .20p.    

Fri 020923 Won at William Hill...FREE bets..£4.99...withdrew the lot. Brought some shopping...

Recently, I won £4.99 at William Hill in FREE bets. I decided to withdraw everything; and, then, brought some shopping from West Norwood Iceland supermarket store: cookham slices/1 x Jamaican lamb patty/1 x cucumber.

Monday 070823 FREE bets, only...WilliamHill: Won: £1.42/Ladbrokes: Won: £0.10p...brought 10x1p bingo tickets

USED UP MY FREE BETS FOR THE DAY...AT LEAST, I WON/DIDN'T LOOSE ANY 'REAL' MONEY...HOWEVER, MY WINNINGS ARE REALLY 'SMALL'...?! Today, Monday, I decided to use up my FREE bets at both William Hill/Ladbrokes... I won: £1.42 at William Hill...and, transferred this balance over to my Poker a/c....which, currently, says: £1.58 balance. I won: £0.10p at Ladbrokes...; which I used to buy 10 x 0.01p bingo tickets. ----- CONCLUSION It's nice the feeling of waking up to get some FREE money to start off the day with. On the other hand, the FREE money is small...; especially, when compared with the thousands and thousands I went and lost over the years to the bookies...?! These small monies will never be able to replace that massive loss. It is also a huge 'temptation' to go and gamble more...; and, thus, end up spending more money on gambling...; when, really, I should be thinking more about saving, instead/or, just NOT gambling at all.

Sun 060823 Won £3.00 in FREE bets at William Hill...; decided to withdraw everything...rather than play

 Of late, I made up my mind to go and check out both... - William Hill - Ladbrokes ...who allow you to play FREE 'spin the wheel' games every single day(as well as, other FREE games). Today, I won £3.00 playing 'spin the wheel'/which gave me 5 FREE jackpot spins...; however, rather than play with that money I'd won...; I decided to withdraw it all, instead; so, I can use it to buy some biscuits.

Recently, I went and lost my wallet...; a replacement card arrived in through the post. I decided to update my card details at WilliamHill by depositing £10.00 using the 'new' card details. I bet at Roulette...and, initially, I was winning...changing £10.00 deposit...into becoming...£22.xx...more than 'doubled' my money. Most unfortunately, I let myself get too greedy...thinking it's going to be my 'lucky day'...so, I started betting high...doubling up/tripling up whenever my bet went and lost...before I knew it...£22.xx had become £12.xx...and, then, £0.74p. At that point, I found I had lost all further appetite to continue with doing any further gambling. -(Man, I had entertained such high hopes...I owe to Pra Group...a debt of £210.00...and, therefore, was hoping that my previous £22.00 win...could be used to further reduce that debt down to become £190.00; however, it went and lost. So,...?! Now, I can't even pay anything towards that debt. So, be it...

Tue 180723 Gambled at William Hill...lost £30.00

WILLIAM HILL BETTING ----- ROULETTE I received my benefits...; after paying some bills..TalkTalk £44.02...; I was left with around £100.00; but, I wanted to buy a phone...as my current corded phone isn't working very well. So, I needed an extra £20.00, at least. I decided to gamble by investing £50.00 in William Hill. I choose to play Deluxe Roulette...much to my surprise the first bet I did won me £18.00...instantly, right away. I thought to myself...if I stay here gambling any more...; then, I'm likely to lose all of my winnings; so, I decided to withdraw £70.00. Within 1 hour that £70.00 had hit my current a/c. Only, now, I felt tempted to try, again...; playing William Hill roulette...; in fact, many different roulette versions...; only this time I lost everything. Meaning, I 'd won £20.00/but, lost £50.00...so, in all I had lost £30.00. ----- POKER I also decided to play some Poker...I had £12.xx left inside of my William Hill Poker a/c. I recall playing twister: 0.50p...
