kvnhenne88 wrote on 02/06/2018 at 01:17: Hello dear community,

have been reading along for some time now and decided to sign up with you yesterday to share my story with people who may have had similar things happen to them.

It all started a little over a year ago. Out of boredom, my brother-in-law and I went to a local casino. Once there, I set a limit of 100€. I was able to turn that 100€ into just under 1600€ that night. It felt great to turn two bills into countless ones. My mood was terrific. In the future we decided to go back to the casino only from time to time. Of course, these visits were not always successful, but overall I didn't lose much. So far, so good.

At some point I discovered the variant to play the whole thing online. Of course, it was super convenient and drove away emerging boredom. Financially I was well positioned. I had a nice car, which I pay off and reserves around 10,000 €.

Larger losses were followed by larger wins. Of course, after 8-10 months I was no longer in the plus, although I still wanted to believe that. During this time I already borrowed my car, took another loan, borrowed money from partner and family. My losses, through high rolling, were thus already over 30,000€. Again and again I had arrears of my liabilities.

At some point the debts were so high that I decided to sell my car. With that I could serve all my creditors for the time being, but I was still left with only 3.000€. Uncontrolled I now tried to make more out of these 3000€ online. When I then transferred the last 1000€ of my Dispo over 2500€ and thus almost again 5000€ deposited, I was already at the end with my nerves. With the intention to make a big win, I played the well-tried book of ra on 7,50€ per spin. With a remaining balance of 123,50€ and close to tears, books actually followed. The explorer forced me to. In the aftermath, I was shocked at what was happening. Extensions, after extensions followed. In the end, there were 109 free spins with no 4 explorers. In the 110th, 4 came and my win was about 13,500€.

Time to quit you think? I thought so too, but you can guess the outcome. Day after day I invested 1000€ in the same casino. Nothing came. Never again I came over this 1000€. No matter if novomatic, netent, egt. It eats me up to the bitter end. I was no longer under control and lost everything. Every f**king cent. I am ashamed for every single spin. For every single euro.

Since I didn't have a cent left for gambling, let alone rent, food or free time, I wanted to give up the whole thing too and asked for account closure at that casino.

Consequently, this offered me a no Deposit bonus of 300€. Thought me... okay, if I turn over the, I can at least live the month halfway. No sooner said than done. Everything went well. Over 8.000€ played. Bonus conditions gave then of course only 5-fold of the amount. 1500€ real money. It went so well, I can certainly get out what I thought. You can also imagine this outcome. Nothing. Until nothing.

Today I sit here. With 4.30€ in my wallet and well over 45,000€ in debt.

What I want to achieve is just that you know when the limit is reached. Play consciously and only with money that you really own. I wish every single one a "big win" and at the same time the strength and the will not to shoot it out stupidly again. Never borrow money from family and friends. It's not worth it. I had to experience that myself and would like to undo it all.

Just wanted to get rid of the whole thing.

Wish you all the best.

Hello kvnhenne88 !
Your story is, like so many here, impressive and at the same time scary.But I think Daniel is right in saying that everything negative can also lead to something positive.Actually, I did not want to tell this here in the forum, but somehow it fits now.Ca, in August last year, my wife is ill with lymph node cancer.It was one of the famous "moments" when the diagnosis came, which changed everything abruptly.Our whole life was no longer as before.At first we were deeply shocked, then frightened, then angry.But at some point this subsided and we came to the question "How do we go on?".Since then my wife can no longer practice her profession and of course we lacked money in the cash register.But that was never really an issue for us.Currently the chemotherapy is nearing its end and we are in deiser time (I know it sounds melodramatic) once through hell and back.The cancer is not yet defeated and next is a radiation therapy.My wife has a tumor in the nasal septum area.Of course the question often came up "What happens if it doesn't work?!".We still haven't found an answer.Because it's just too unimaginable.There is no plan B.Plan A must and will work.What I want to say is (the old saying) "Money is not everything".Strictly speaking, money is nothing.It would not help us if we become filthy rich.This disease does not discriminate.Since my wife is ill I see many things differently- do not get upset for a long time about supposed trifles.My "job" in our family is rather to keep everyone together (we have 2 children) and to spread a positive attitude towards life everywhere.Whether I succeed in the end - no idea.But one thing is quite certain: Having money is ultimately just as unimportant as having debts.It can influence your life in the short and medium term positively or negatively - but ultimately not decisively change.That is entirely in your own hands.Sometimes it must also first get worse before it can get better. You can do it! That sounded now everything very much after Bergpredigt - sorry for it!

I wish you only the best.have myself about 5000 debts is not like you but am also already despaired of it. I work very hard (care) with a lot of stress and uberstunden and the money flowed into the boxes (mainly online) now I have stopped or set up a longer block for me

It feels good. Start from scratch.rent electricity etc always first then groceries

Then first the most expensive things like dispo serve then come only so Debt collection things or private debts because with them you can still talk for now

A story like many, it's an uncontrollable addiction, I've been playing for 12 years now, I'm just 27 and it really has almost destroyed my youth and my life to this day.

Don't be fooled people, that's my only Tip, we all know that every now and then wins come in between, but it ALWAYS ends the same, no matter how much you win

There come then times, as described above, where you just times so 5000€ deposited and books plays on 5-10€ bet and the swallows that down without once free spins, is real so, extremely manipulated everything, of course, because the casinos would not win otherwise, it would actually be coincidence, no one can tell me, that it is a coincidence, if you play so high, and then go down with the bet, mostly free spins come, is so, also this red / black gambeln is absolutely no coincidence, it does not matter whether you red or black haut, it is fixed in advance whether it will be right or wrong, the color is only for entertainment.

Because if I for example times amounts like 300€ verhaut have, then came mostly later so something smaller wins, which let me almost again to 300€ raufhauen, however, this happens only if I before such an amount verhaut have, I would have hit the 300€ for example correctly with red/black and the 600€ drawn would have been the next wins ungambelbar, everything would go wrong, especially no chance more higher amounts to gambeln correctly, that has absolutely nothing to do with coincidence, if down there the cards show a red or black series, he usually changes the color exactly when you change it too, who does not let the shit things just run down and gambelt in between, who knows for sure what I'm talking about.

The whole thing is ridiculous, it doesn't matter where you gamble or what you gamble, no chance, the wins you have now and then, they destroy you even more in the end, because then you're back in the frenzy and the money will be gone again

I wish all gambling addicts much strength!

Ciao

@kvnhenne88 First of all welcome here in our beautiful forum . I find it very brave that you have written so openly about your Gambling addiction and that is already the first step in the right direction. If you have questions or so, here are many members who like to help with tips. I wish you from my heart that you now take the right path and you find a way to reduce the Debt again. You can do it!

@ vivera I wish your wife a lot of strength, so that she beats this f**k Tumor!!! With such a disease, you just see how useless many other worries have been before and money could not cure such a disease. I keep my fingers crossed that the cancer will be defeated!!!

@kvnhenne88 Your story is not much different from others here ( including mine ), so it's easy to relate.

Don't hang your head. Work on yourself and everything will work out. In my opinion it is never too late to change something. You will eventually be out of Debt again and get your life back under control if you go from now in the right direction

I myself have fought my way out of over 200000€ of Debt in 11 years, without insolvency but only with settlements. Now I still have exactly 600€ of debt, 100€ in my wallet and about 450€ in the bank. As long as you are healthy and not fallen on your head you will get out of it, if it has to be with a private insolvency. So don't hang your head, life goes on and you just have to make the best of it. I think every gambler has been through something like this at least once.

I have a heart for gamers, being one myself and knowing the downsides all too well.
I don't want to brag, but I have 0 EUR Debt and 982 EUR in my wallet, accounts let's leave aside. Why do I say this, to motivate people that you can also get out of the financial misery again. A few years ago I had 0 and a quarter million debts.
People, it works.

A quarter of a million in debt? How the hell did you get out of that (without bankruptcy?)? What do you do for a living, if you don't mind me asking?

As I said, I was totally down. The short version is, I then changed professionally, worked like a fool and settled with the creditors one after the other. Between lawyer and settlement, I got out of the number after about 2 years and 60K. Since then I can live normally again and after a significant part of my financial compensation is commission-based, I can live properly from it.
