the queen of betting, yet only won 500 quid
I bet she lost 100 times more than that though
worst thing i ever done was start gambling
The good news is you can also stop gambling.
Me too and smoking
@@mawathere smoking is nothing compared to gambling
@@sivanovic6584 true but its so difficult to recover mentally from all that money and time you've wasted
@@spanishmontana6121 very true
this series is so underrated
interesting points ,if anyone else needs to find out about bet to win for a living try Alchemy Hasty Fixer (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my work buddy got great results with it.
Like any other addiction, gambling (the thrill of the chase) can get way out of control before you realize how much financial/psychological damage has occurred. These people are still young and can bounce back and live a beautiful and fulfilling life without gambling.
My biggest win, £500! 😂😂😂
Imagine how much she lost though
I've won over £500 easily 100 times. also lost it a lot as well lol
You can make up to 4500£ have you tried forex trading ?
Lol😭
When I was peak gambling I was pissed off if I only won £500 😂
Er.. no. Don’t be more ‘disciplined’, just stop. If you’re irresponsible enough to blow all your wages in a matter of minutes / hours / days, then selfishly rely on your sensible friends & family to survive through the month, there’s no such thing as ‘being disciplined’.
Laura Williams AMEN!. Couldn't agree more
It’s an addiction. They can’t “just stop” it’s a mental illness.
Telling an addict "just stop" is like telling a normal person to stop getting hungry. Is a smoker able to "just stop" ?? An addict's brain is altered. Its a mental illness that needs treatment/rehab. I was an addict for 15 years until I was able to get out of it. Three year gamble free now.
Their wages should go to their mum's/dads brother etc. or someone they can trust honestly I know people like the other guy who spend their monthly wage within hours.
Okay. They haven’t got addictions, they’re being frivolous because they know they’ve got people to lean on who will get them out of their shit time & time again. They’re greedy & want a life that’s unachievable unless you graft hard. I’ve seen addiction - sex, alcohol, gambling, food, drugs - this isn’t addiction. It might be borderline, which is the entire point of the bloody show, to stop them falling into a rabbit hole they can’t get out of - but no, this isn’t addiction. These people would be on their arse if it was addiction. Right now they’re merely selfish & greedy spoilt brats. There’s a considerable difference.
Rarely bet anymore and feel so much better for it. No matter how much you’re down by just give it up, forget about it and move on. Times the healer. 👍🏼
Easier said than done
Guys, I worked as a casino dealer years ago, on average 95 out 100 gamblers I came across during my shift, lost their money, and even those few who "would win", were still in red when you took their whole gambling history into account. If gambling was designed to make gamblers rich, casinos would go bankrupt. I have never gambled, except for one or two occasions when playing poker with some friends, and that was it.
It's nice to set aside money for entertainment not for money making purposes. Instead of playing 1.00 game in a arcade for 10 tickets I'll spend 1.00 on 4 quarter spins lol mine as well play for fun with extra cash
In a day I've lost 3 figures???? ...wish that was all I'd done ffs
Have you tried forex trading?

@@lucasrobert4695 wtf lol
@@lewisdowsett8390 sure you see me on vedio calls so we can talk also am for real
I've had this exact feeling. Going to casino at 10pm, telling yourself only gonna stay for an hour or two and leave and spend only $200. Next thing you know, it's 5am, you spend all your $2,300 paycheck, plus took $1,000 overdraft at the bank. Now its 6am, nobody on the streets, no cars, you have no money for a cab so you end up walking in the cold. You were up $450 and should've left by 12am. Then you take advil PM to knock yourself out and sleep. You wake up next morning and realize right away what happened and a tsunami of depression fills your mind and body. Your family is calling you because you made plans 2 days before to hang out, ita sunny outside, everyone's smiling on the streets, yet you dont wanna do anything, you feel terrible and nothing makes you feel better. You manage somehow by borrowing from that one friend who always understands because everyone else gave up, and you ask for just enough to buy food to survive and get to work, you feel better in 5 days, but then in 2 weeks once you get paid again do the same exact mistake. Worst feeling ever.
Shouldnt have gambled 🤣🤣
Bro , that sounds really depressing and upsetting.... I'm sorry
Nothing worse
@@zaynumar0 thanks bro I'm working on getting better. It takes time when I think back to it I cant believe that was part of my life.
@@dogood2023 Sum real shit bro, exact the same over here.
The biggest lie about gambling is that it can be done for "entertainment". It's not entertainment. If it were, you could happily play a game or watch the sport without gambling. It's not the same as watching a movie, because everyone gets the same thing if you pay to see a movie. Nobody gets asked to leave half way through because they run out of money.
Show me someone who "can afford to lose" money and I'll show you someone with a problem, even if they don't end up poor/in debt, they will have some kind of issue going on in order to have that thought process.
Bingo absolutely spot on !
So true . Too illegal gambling sites and places to lose everything you have .
True im 19 and lost all my money shich is over 10,000£ by now.
This is so true..i too thought i was playing for entertainment..its a big fat lie..am over it..am done..am done
@@cherrydonburt2414 It's hard. I hope you're able to overcome it. Seek help wherever you can and don't beat yourself up too much. Gambling companies and the products they push are designed to make you fail.
Gambling should be illegal in my opinion.
Certainly. I'm investing on stocks,its more efficient.
Thank you for this during covid it has left me very bored i would spend alot of my time gambling blowing money that I worked hard for away. Because of videos like this and reading through forums and threads i have been able to better control my gambling
Well earn $15,000 trading from crypto and online currency,I'll guide you ?
Please make more of those 😩
rookie numbers... grab any asian and do this video over again.
😂😂 never a truer word said
Lmao them Sikh guys at the casino would laugh at this
You know, is not a competition...
just because u spend all days in a bookies shop dont make u the queen of betting
Gambling took away 13 years of my time and money..i lost around 80k-100k that hurts when i think about it but what hurts the most is the precious time we lost, Money we can get back but time hmm but then again time is money. Not all is lost though we can make changes...one day at a time.
@1991maz hi I'm ava my brother was a gambling addict too
I saw someone won $200, using just $10. Although I am not an addict, I can see why some people can be addicted to gambling
I didn’t realise how bad my gambling is, if I went on that show ide look like such a embarrassment and let down to all my family I’ve spent/done a lot more than these people and I’m probably on a worse wage. I just wish I never started
Chasing your loss is a big problem.
It happens if you keep on gambling
I won and lost $55,000 in one night playing roulette. It would have been life changing money
Buddy,its never too late. Start up a habit of trading in the stock market,that really built my financial life
I'll introduce you,4 1 6 6 1 9 4 7 3 8 what's Ap
I'm sorry bro, why didn't you just leave the casino when you won the £55K
I was trying to run it up to 100,000 lol
@@theog666 why don't you invest in the for ex market
I start low stakes but once I win a few quid I don’t mind lumping on
great series, mad respect...plus isnt the woman in this so funny LOL her character
Gambling is an extreme high that is difficult for many to quit
Im strong i can rnd iy
@@elka7823 awesome
Mara Vladic i know im always been like that been gam bl ing since 10-11 but now i decided to stop cuz this last year has been very unfun and now im 19 and lost 10k£ and lost 3k£ this week and 1k today.
If I lost 1300 for the month I’d be over the moon
It’s different if the 1.3k is your student loan lol. Different if you have income
__I'm so glad I've never gambled__
Matthew is the King😂
The only time I've gambled is when I took a day trip to Windsor, Canada. I put $40 into a machine and lost it all in 5 minutes and I left shortly after thinking that I could have spent that on a nice dinner. 😩
Also I got detained by border patrol crossing back into the US because they thought it was sus that I drove up from Columbus to go to Windsor for 3 hours. 🙃
People drop $70 or $200 in an hour or two and say it's entertainment but maybe they'll win. Stupid, you know what kind of a blowout you could have at the arcade for that kind of money?
IF YOU ARE READING THIS YOU ARE THE RIGHT WAY TO STOP IT YOU ARE READY FOR CHANGE SO DO IT
Gambling is a serious problem.. if I could turn back time I wouldn’t place a bet again in my life!
Do you still gamble?
@@evabrown2035 sometimes
How about you?
Hey , I'm supposed to be a Muslim , but unfortunately even I have "gambled" a few times... I occasionally put in lines for the lotto & did online poker but lost
I lost 5000 yesterday!! I quit gambling today just because it is highly addictive and ruin your personal happiness.I only enemy myself if I trap on it
Exactly man..
It's a trap and nothing else..
Today I also lost 500 rs and last week I got a loss of 2300 rs..
Now I am quitting it forever..
This was a bizarre watch. It was almost disturbing to observe how casual this man discussed his gambling history. Almost like it does not register with him. Not passing judgement, just an observation
Gambling can be and is fun as long as you know where and when to set boundaries.
On the rare occasions I go to a casino (always with friends, never alone) I leave my card at home put $20-40 in my wallet and leave it at that.
It's never fun
There is a way to win...
These lot ain't got no money management 😭😅😅
I didn't realize it was easy in the UK. The US has alot of issue with this but dang! I'm not sure how credit scores there work, but 13? Dang! Good teachings!
Credit scores are graded from 1-999 , based on the usual criteria , so 13 is pretty abysmal !
@@Spartan300740 yeah the USA is usually like 400 to 850. 400 is real shit obviously. Must have st least 650 to buy a home.
@@Frogmommyiester Sounds about right to me . Can you even imagine 13 ? Incredible !
I mean gambling is tempting cause if you winn multiple times there sth like a intense rush and you want to feel it more and more.
So I guess your brain spreads hormones of endorphins in your body.... like a reward. 🤔😊
Yes
Yep. Almost as if it cannot be controlled. Then when all that money is lost you’re just filled with regret. It’s such a horrible feeling. You’re at your most vulnerable when you’ve just won a bet. I learned that the hard way.
Cutting access to money is what my uncle did. And he ended up killing himself using pesticide pills. Because of his constant lies he lost respect in most of his relationships, with kids, wife, bothers and sisters. His family stopped supporting him. And when he found himself in deep dept, he resorted to take money from local mafia. He was millions in debt. Then mafia started chasing him. He finally killed himself yesterday. I am here just to have better understanding of what he went through. The support group of a person should be educated enough about how addiction works. If they cannot they blame the person not the habit. Habit can be changed through practice. But the love he had for his wife and kids was pure but no one understood behind the curtain of lies.
I think the gambling addiction has got to do with the unrealistic amount of money u can win and the bright neon lights and it’s easy to do kinda like social media addiction..
no shit
The gambling industry is composed of criminals preying on the weak and stupid. Put them all on trial.
Nobody is forcing people to gamble. Take responsability for your own actions in life.
@@sivanovic6584 People often do not have the willpower. If you care about your fellow man you should want the same.
I wish everybody a good and happy life. But there is not much point of complaining about casino's or alcohol, drugs or something else. They exist, that wont change. What you can do is work on your willpower and change your life. Wont be easy, you have to work hard but nothing is impossible.
@@sivanovic6584 I believe in change, so yes there is a point to complaining about them, and I will keep complaining about them until justice is served.
Criminals ? What laws are they breaking ?
"It's faster to become a Gambling Addict than it is to become a drug addict." Research you addiction in your country and see what I mean. But that Statement is TRUE for the US the UK, New Zealand and the list goes on. Don't be naïve and think I'll just reduce my amounts. Because you'll break your own rules without fail.
£750 pcm ?!!! I would gamble all of that just to survive next week
3 figures before the comma is probably my losses .. Gambling is shite and nearly ruined my life, don’t do it !!!
@@Ray4thewin oh easily mate, losses of 10k plus in a week was common :( :(
10 pounds is alot of loot boxes if they include they're starting money they said
When it Comes to Gambling, Spend more Time Planning, Capping, Scaling, Setting Limits, Researching, and Executing in Small Amounts. And Loosing first time lots of money is a good lesson. NOT to Continue Gambling without a stratedy
Setting limits, it is not just individuals, businesses as well, like what supermarkets did during the pandemic on certain products, panic buying and all that. Like your overall point, not just setting limits. Strategy is the word you are looking for, a plan not just next week or next month but twelve to twenty four months down the road. You may not be in a job within the next two years or longer so what do you do? Have a back up plan, even when you are a few weeks into your new job.
I had £4,500 in my bank and was addicted to gambling I lost all that money on a bet.
Sorry Danny , that's a shame arekid... Gambling is a dangerous slope
I curse the day l started gambling
Just heard one caller on a radio phone-in about this very subject and I agree that it is all types of individuals across the board including women gamblers. Like any addiction, it is recognising a problem/problems via self help, counselling, being a better person than before. I also think that we all need to change our attitudes to gambling be it companies, leaders, ordinary member of public, laws etc. Going down the lines of solutions, support groups, plans in place so that male and female individuals do not end up like previous generations have done.
This sure seems interesting, I wish I could understand a word they were saying
Broo said he got a credit score of 13 😭💀........ bruuhhh how
😂😂😂😂
Man was glued to the fruit machine in spoons
Exactly. It ranges from 300 - 850. I'm perplexed by him saying that.
I've been winning on Dec 8k and lost in the last 3 months more than 26k. In the last hour I lost my last 3k. I'm really devastate in this moment , I don't know what to do or how to react to this situation. I'm not earning much because of lockdown and probably for this reason I start betting as well. I received yesterday my salary and now I don't know what to eat for the next 4 weeks.
Same here. I earned 10k last week. Now i have lost every thing and another 5K. I m going mad. Just have to watch some of these videos to calm myself. It was fun while i was winning.. I think the best thing is to stop gambling forever. There are no winners here. Betting is 50/50 luck . It can go either. No one has ever become rich because of betting.
@@ibrahimkahn6957 easy come easy go. I've stop from the last losing section and I blocked all the cards even if my account is close to 0. Don't think about the money , your life it doesn't really change, just a number in your account which most of the time you don't used at all. Be strong, smile and go ahead with small things which make you happy.
@@Cristian-od6bf yup i have deleted all betting apps. I m not going to do it again. Thanks mate. Yh life doesnt change. I m comitted. You shouldnt do it either . Its not the way of living. You cant win forever. You need money forever not for a month for 6 months. So lets stick to what we have. I hope things got better for you after you lost your bet.
@j sharp I've been gamble for 10 years lost it all. I've just managed to get back on track thanks to lockdown. I've completely stop gambling. Bought me 2 piggie bank. One for my son I put $40 weekly and any spare change. I put $100-$200 a week for my piggie bank which I'd promised and dedicated for him. I see him check his piggie bank sometime his facial body expression tell me it give him little of hope happiness. It also give me edge of knowing I'm doing right thing for my son and me. My new hobbies exercise running.
To both of you. Quit gambling. Start matched betting. Trust me
Gambling is evil simply putting it destroys so many lives....
How can he have a credit score of 13????? Credit scores range from 300 - 850. A google search even says that under 300 is impossible. I'm confused.
I never ever gambled untill I was 20,then I watched my fella win a £25 jackpot on a pub fruity(it repeated twice)I was like wtf lol,I've gambled ever since,its been 19 years since that day,I'm still gambling,wish ide never started.if you was never interested in gambling(as I wasnt)then never start,yes it can be fun but it can also take your soul 🤦
Be strong. I've done madness and denied myself of so many vacations and life experiences. Wish u the best

@@amazingworld4457 sorry to hear mate go to Gamstop and block every way to gamble and try giving your accounts to someone to look after that you trust to protect your money you can do it you just need to be honest and open about your addiction and make steps to save your money rather than loosing it all
In a months time I lost $7000 at age 21, had only $630 left in my bank account and a $36 free play on a sports book. I went on to win that freeplay and win back $11,000 playing blackjack
How about now?
I have gambling debt which will take close to two years to pay off due to my gambling debts and the depression and anxiety from always struggling and knowing that I did this myself I had a big win a few years ago won $17000 on the pokies(slots) even that wasn’t enough for me I am always broke and lonely gambling is soul destroying if you feel like betting find something else to do anything else is better then throwing your money down the toilet.
I gamble everyday with my health
Hope you have quit

I lost like 5 times in a row..
I got a loss of 2800 rs (almost 40 USD)

All gamblers are not stupid they know they will lose i the long run. I think gamblers are gambling to cover somthing deep in there lives that makes them depressed. They need to address underlying issues.
