Need to vent, just lost £2600

I knew someone who claimed that he'd one more money on the National Lottery than he'd lost, because all of the ten pound wins made up for what he spent - and he maintained that people playing the National Lottery break even on average, right up until the point where I made him calculate how much he'd spent on the lottery over the years, and then how much he thought he'd won.

Would the splashback go up your ******** or not? You take the risk.

I always throw three or four sheets into the water before commencing dumpage to ensure splashback does not happen. :)

Indeed :(

I can afford it, but I cant believe I made such a stupid noob mistake. I will get it all back this week though :D

But how much will you lose in the same week? win £2600, lose £3800? :p

Do you keep a track of your incomings and outgoings? If you tend to win, how much profit have you mae since you started? I'd be interested to know.

My ass happens to have a very lucrative modelling contract and must only receive the perfect amount of moisture for photoshoots. Splashback could ruin its career.

I am up about £40,000 from online gambling.

I was introduced to it from a thread on this forum, I've been hooked ever since.

Geez 40k from gambling. Over what period of time?

About 7 months.

I read on esreality.com that some gamers have made over $1M in less than a year from online gambling.

Was it actually a mistake, though, or did you just lose the hand? Did you miss something? Did you bet it properly?

I'm sure you know already, but sometimes you can play perfectly, bet exactly right and still lose. That's poker.

Anybody that isn't prepared to take a large loss from time to time shouldn't be in a game with stakes that high, because it WILL happen periodically. It happens to the best. All you can do is look at it philosophically, shrug and move on. Or stop playing for those stakes.
