What do you do after a big win?

Exactly that was the question that led me among other things in this forum. Too bad I did not know earlier that you should take pictures of the win, then I would have done that.

I was really lucky in April and was able to earn 30k (honestly, if I add up all the money I've spent in the OCs so far, you could say I've recovered the stakes)

" Every addiction once started with a search"



I also actually have the money in my account now. Only I'm standing there, and it somehow doesn't feel the way I always expected it to. I feel rather empty now. Of course, in the meantime I have bought one or two things and spent the rest of the win on a vacation and a new car, but even that doesn't make me overjoyed.

I now worry that I can only play high wins and stakes to relive that one "shock moment" when it just didn't stop bubbling. Actually, I had temporarily blocked myself from almost all OCs where I was registered. But now yesterday I registered again at 2 new ones and played and deposited much more than normally usual for me. I won nothing or suddenly 400 euros were really too little for my head. Even recently I found that worth paying out.

And now it's getting really dangerous. It's best to get blocked again immediately!

Money alone never makes you overjoyed. There are even lottery winners who say they were happier BEFORE the win.

Go rather times in peace in you and ask yourself what exactly you are missing in life. Something causes an unbelievable emptiness in you and you have tried to compensate for this by playing and always thought that everything is better with a big win. Now you realize it's not like that at all. So what are you missing? Deal with it and see with which high stakes you can play, so that you feel better again!

I wish you that you find out for yourself

that's an honest description of your situation you have reached a goal. of course it does not make you overjoyed because the win itself has not yet arrived with you, mentally. have already bought something and planned, that's good. then please take the time now to realize everything and then rebuild, new goals, possibly completely different than before

Of course I had continued playing. Unfortunately, I deleted my statistics out of anger. Therefore I can no longer pay the exact numbers.

2017
However, 2017 continued to be an up and down year. I was once at only +7,000 and then also once at +15,000. The big losing streak then set in shortly after Christmas. Nevertheless, I ended the year 2017 with an incredible +10,000.

2018
Nothing worked anymore. Burned my fingers good. From that point on, I just couldn't win anything. I had tried to stop many times before, but after so many extreme rounds of losses, I was able to gain distance. I estimate that I gambled away half of the annual profit in 2017 during this phase. That was at the beginning of 2018 and I pulled the emergency brake. In fact, I was able to stop gambling properly for the first time. "Longer" I hadn't gambled either (couple months). Then at the beginning of June I dared to do it again. Deposited only 10 Euro and played up to 950€. 30 minutes later everything gambled away. There I noticed again that I just can't play controlled and I locked myself again everywhere. The relapse was a big setback, but again a reminder that it escalates too quickly.

Other than that I am fine. Got engaged to my girlfriend and the wedding is in the planning stages. Everything is going well at work. Got promotion + company car. Free time, friends, did a lot of sports and saved a lot of money, because I have almost not gambled at all. So now I'm back out of the casinos and working on not falling off the wagon again.

The conclusion is nice to read that other values make life worth living - all the best for your future together!

Had in my life so often the thought to stop when a BigWin comes, but in the end the resolution was still only enough for a few weeks

Good decision. Paying off loans is the best investment.

If I had a huge win I would pay off my car loan <3
This is probably the only loan I have, but it annoys me terribly ðŸ˜'
