i am Mathias from the far north. I am in my early 40s and addicted to gambling. I have gambled away more than 4000€ in 14 days (with 75% 20 cent stakes and never higher than 2€) and cry myself to sleep every night. Since I don't have the necessary luck, can't stop and nobody gives me money to pay my debts, I try to extend my playing time with small stakes and create small statistics for every game. Maybe my short insight into each game will help you to make a decision. Or it is a warning not to play too high or better not at all
I would be happy if someone had an idea or possibility to get me out of debt. Someone who has had the luck. I know that is a utopian wish. Nobody knows me. But I can prove or disclose everything if necessary.
What could I offer in return to work these off? A few ideas:
- I have a collection of action figures, as well as model making and other stuff from my former part-time job. The purchase value was about 17,000 euros. I have been offering it for some time starting at 7,500€ VHB, but will probably never get rid of it. That's 2 rooms full. Who is going to pick it up? Anyway, I could offer this.
- I've been a passionate speaker and writer since my days in an open channel. I have a YT channel where I offer recorded articles or story, with the goal of providing audio to as many reading lazy or visually impaired people as possible. I have also been able to write and record articles for a few websites, which were then included as links. And I was allowed to make an audio guide for a local amusement park So I could offer you to work off my debts by writing and/or dubbing your stories, articles, websites or similar.
- I'm slightly autistic and a statistics freak. If anyone needs an analysis, I'm happy to do the boring analysis. No matter what the topic. Let's stay with the gambling example. You want a statistic of 1,500 hours of recorded slot sessions? No problem. I'll watch the videos and process every spin into numbers on paper
Well. Does anyone else have ideas? I'm not too good for anything. I can handle Gimp and DaVinci Videocut to some extent
I hope I don't meet with laughter or stupid comments with my request. I think all of us know how difficult it is to get rid of debts. Quite independent of private circumstances, which I haven't even listed here yet. But I have learned that you have to express your wishes and concerns so that you can be helped
i can't help myself, but I'll try.
Only to increase the income is not a solution.
Let the debts be and try to stabilize yourself
You seem to have lost a lot of control.
Deactivate your online banking and PayPal as an emergency brake, if not too late.
Try to shift your addiction, such as strategy games.
When you come down, sign up for Slotty Vegas and play in the tournaments. Realistically, it is very difficult to stop. Still, with good control you can get through life just fine.
Personally, I have gone through similar experience as you did dozens of times. It's not pretty, but it goes on.
There is also no shame in talking to an addiction expert and getting his opinion, even though I am not a fan of therapy myself.

Thanks for the encouraging words. Yes. It's a thing with addictions. I guess it runs in the family. My father was an alcoholic. What's the point of the tournaments? Don't they just cost money unnecessarily? I'm in Debt counseling and also in therapy. But for depression.
Your problem is the Gambling addiction and as long as this exists in the form that you even play with borrowed money, nothing and no one can help you! So get to the root of the problem and seek professional help at an addiction counseling, do best a therapy. Everything else is absolutely pointless as long as the cause of your problems is not fought. In any case, I wish you all the best.

But other than that, how would anyone know you're not using it income to gamble?
Hi, thanks for your reply.
Yes, you have to do something. I don't like to leave things like that. Especially when they are based on my mistakes.
Why I don't use them to play? I'm looking for a way out. Actually I just wanted to daddle a little. Then I turned 100€ into over 700€ twice and thought there's something going on. didn't go, of course. And so, instead of paying off my normal debts, I could now run after it. There it was then. The spiral. Another twist. Maybe it will help you out of your misery
That's why I'm looking for other ways to get back into the black. And offer services in return. What could you do? A contract? An escrow account? A "I don't play with money, watch my spending"? I don't know
i had recently thought about not writing letters to various strangers asking if they could pay my debts but when i really thought about it i came to the conclusion that just the thought of asking strangers something like that is totally stupid and pathetic...
maybe this will help you

Thanks for the constructive comment
I work in the public sector. but my income goes to an old loan (from before the divorce) and alimony. And alimony is sacred to me! I'd rather eat nothing but noodles and bread for weeks on end than not be able to pay that
Can anyone help?
