My gambling life in nutshell. Prob up 200k lifetime poker down 300k pits and online casino.

Could've paid a nice deposit on a decent house for what I've lost yet I'm still renting. Quit now... you will be much happier. I can see in the 3 months I've been gamble free life is much better without the added stress. GA helps, so get to a meeting ASAP and follow the program. Tell some of your stories too as it helps to write them out and see how insane it really was..

And yes I'm still gamble free degens. I have also stopped smoking. 79 days gamble free and 14 days nicotine free. Life is looking good.

Gl and pm me if you want some advice on how to quit.

Best place to ask this advice - If I have a credit card that does not allow me to use it on gambling sites and does not allow cash advances, what is the best way to turn that credit into cash? Surely there's some gift cards you can buy etc?

lol this reminds me of some stuff back in my super degen days

PM me ill tell you how

I always got MacBooks with the student discount.

They sold for near what I paid every time.

Story 1 ....

So I go to my regular 2-4NL game ... with £800 .. lose the lot playing terribly
ask a poker friend at the table (whilst on huge tilt) to lend me money which I never had .. as I bust .. my money skills are ****e !
from the £60 he loans me, I cash out over £1.4k ... then go on a mini heater, spin it up to £5k in the week ... Lose it all playing 2-5-10NL in London , Vic Game


second story ...

Get made redundant .... within a week I find a new job, first pay day I decide to deposit £500 online as I have done well that week ... start off at 0.25-0.50 PLO HU cash ..... by the end of the night im playing $10-20PLO HU ... spin it to $12k ... donk it back down to $1k, and rally to get back to $17.5k cash out (£10k)
go to work the next day, quit my new job which I hated, and decide to grind online .. but instead go to London, Vic Game again .. 2-5NL ... spin it up to £13K ... LOSE IT ALL in 1 hand ... QJD ss board with K9 v J4SS .... so go to cashier, leave a queue behind me for 30 mins whilst I deposit £5k more on my card ... lose it within an hour ... walk out the Vic, with 2k left in my bank account .... about £660 cash .. which I almost gave to a hobo ... get home off the flight, turn on At The Races and deposit £1k .. lose it in 3 races ... deposit the last £1k ... and said id randomly put it on the horse in the next race I blind pick win only ... The Wee Lass 66/1 ...mares flat race ... I type in the bet win £1k at 66/1 .... but cancel bet as I think don't be a dumbass ..... The Wee Lass hoses up at 66/1
DOH!!!!!! .......... went in to a melt down, lost everything , including my friends, slept 7am-4pm every day, playing freerolls for the next year (lucky I payed 10 months rent upfront after I won 1k online that night)


Story 3
Bored at home .. ask a mate to ship $30 on stars for a spin ... start at 0.25-50 PLO HU ... end up playing 6 max and more HU PLo to the extent of $50-100 Hu against BenyamineX ... under the screen name 'BigBird611' ... all within 2 hours of the loan transfer ... $18k max hit up ... lost it all in 1 hand to BenyamineX

Moral of my story .... I used to be a lunatic .. now I only play recreationally ]Gluck All

Broke

Forget to mention Nov 2013 at the Orleans ... in Vegas .. crushing the 1-3NL game ... like 8k up in the week ... but on the walk back to the room .. must have lost abut $10k .. betting $500 per square ... such a loser ... sucks waking up the next morning and its the first thing that pops in to your head

Yeah waking up remembering your broke is minging, always feels like a dream lol

I had one my most degen moments ever on full tilt...had no job had like $50 to my name...I told myself I'm gonna take a shot! I load up 3 $11 45 man sng...I told myself I'm gonna get it up high enough to make my car payment...I still won't forget it was $396 lol...well I cash all 3 and I won one I believe...win was $170 I think...I told myself I was comin outta the room till I got the money...well about 8 hours in I got like $600...I'm like I'll take a shot at short stacking 5/10 plo...well I run my total account up to $997 and of course I'm gonna quit at 1k...well I never make it to 1k and proceed to give it all back till I'm back to my original $33 go back to 3 sng...miss them all and have like $17 to my name lol...it was maybe the lowest I ever felt in my life lol...it was pathetic...I have lost far more in one night than that obviously but I'll never forget what that felt like...I donked off a 6k stack a month ago and that full tilt loss felt way worse

sick stories bro, but if the bolded part is true this would have ****** killed me

GA never really did it for me; big waste of time from my experience.
In a nutshell I just didn't feel like anyone was at my level; like I have a super gambling problem and they're just people that would blow X amount every day on scratch offs or whatever got in loads of debt and now their spouses make them go to GA. I'm a super good people reader and I highly suspect in my area there are a couple long standing members that are not really compulsive gamblers they just go there because they have nothing else to do.

#2sickforGA

Oh and if you're a true degen and if theoretically a genie granted you a wish that every time you went up to a pit table you would be given a shock of electricity and would be forced just to play poker wherever you went, you would self destruct in poker. NOTHING WILL WORK.

true i would much rather play baccarat or blackjack
than hold em

anyways i suggest you guys load up on the blue jays and mets to win their respective series free money

and if you like hockey take the jets tonight

One recurring theme in all these stories is that Benyamine ends up winning big pots when the degen needs it most.

4 months ago I was skint and my nan gave me £20 to buy some food. I went straight to natwest to put it into my account, and then loaded it str8 to betfair. £20 on a horse at 6/1, that won. My roll was then £140. I put that on a horse at 3/1. That won, straight up to £560.

Cashed out £60 to return the £20 to my nan (for future scrounging) and £40 to get some food, took the remaining £500 to the $5/$10 tables.

Tried to play like Durrrr bluffing all over the shop, kept getting called, kept sucking out on the river, had £3100 within 2 hours.

Decided to cash out £3k (but left it in there "just in case") and took the £100 to "have some fun with", lost that, proceeded to lose the £3k as well. Had no other money, so took a couple of Nintendo games to Webuy to sell for £11. Took that to the bank, put it online.

Put those £11 onto betfair, placed £10 on a horse at 20/1, that lost. took the last £1 to a slot machine, won £78 on a single spin. Took that £78 back to the horse racing, ran that up to £900, took that to poker.

Ran that £900 up to £4400, got my stack in against someone with £3900, actually had the best hand for once, lost, took the remaining £500 to the casino, placed it on red, it came black.

Skint.

It took me 4 weeks to remember I had cashed out £60 at the beginning of this madness, and when i remembered, put it on betfair (sorry nan), had it on a horse at 2/1, and it died at the first fence.

Served the **** right.

I have been considering a degen trip to Vegas for January (2 nights, most certainly a Tuesday/Wednesday night).

Seeing a good bit of interest in PM from a few stories I have posted here and WarmDeck on his dedicated thread, giving it a LOT of thought....

We would need a sick degen group as I would be booking one of the SkyLofts at MGM Grand (there is no other way for this group). Unfortunately I can only get a minimal discount in January (why, who the F knows but my host seemed adamant about it), so for a 3 bed Id be looking 1200-1500 a night and dont want to spring that all on my own for such a group of degenerates. The room can comfortably hold 10 and I have no problem getting that many in. It includes a private butler, airport transfers in a Rolls, and dedicated staff....

Question is, of those who have PM'ed me (and others), who would be interested in making such a trip?

We often have a tendancy of making a game of it like having x number of people doing y number of shots and must bring z amount of money, but with the degen following in this thread, it could get really fun (last 'real' one was 24hrs/24shots before gambling/$2400)...

Interest?

January has CET (Consumer Electronics Show) and AVN

I thought he was the degen

Ask the casino cage. Then go to payday loan places.

Nah, only reason i was interested was because I have a <5% interest rate on my card. Have cash now anyways.

Don't post much any more but I have to acknowledge this. Awesome.

A degen bowl LOLOLOL

Sounds like a great idea only problem is that to find the biggest degens they would have to be on the end of a heater to be able to go on the trip, otherwise you'll just have lots of busted degens cancelling on you.

Or maybe have them wire themselves money that they can only pick up when in Vegas during any heaters that may happen from now until January. But they could just always cancel the transactions when they eventually bust so you would have to get creative in finding a way to make this work.

...best bit was that he pissed himself on the first class flight out there...
