ok so who has a gambling problem?

how much would you estimate you would have if you didnt keep losing it all. at my most I had 9000 then lost it all in video poker in less than a minute, after that I havent been lucky enough to get past 2K I got up to 1K a few times then try to bet bigger amounts to get more quicker and I always end up losing it all. All I can say is at least its fake money, its not even that is just a meaningless number. but it still hurts when I lose...

Hi, my name is Jerry and I have a Puff.com gambling problem.

I unfortunately play with real money. Pot limit Omaha is my usual game and it's addictive like crack! I just remembered a time when I went to a cardroom with some friends and this one friend in particular isn't a very good player so after I left him alone and came back to his table about a hour later he looked like hell and I asked "How much did you loose?" his reply "This month's rent." I had to take his wallet after that because he wanted to buy back in and try to win back what he lost. We went outside for a smoke and he was almost in tears. It was one hell of a night (we got to the cardroom around 2am and played till about 6am) and when something like that happens you know you have a problem.

When I play with friends its usually a 5 dollar buy in and the winner can usually take home 50 bucks or so. I think that's a good amount to play with cuz if you loose 5 to 15 bucks ehh who cares, and winning 50 is a nice chunk of change. so no tears if i loose and not a bad prize if I win.

I like to keep it simp;e and stupid...5¢, 10¢ 25¢. Nobody gets hurt and everyone has fun.

I had a problem back in college. First time I played craps I won almost $10k. Then I'd lose $5 or 6k. Then I'd win. It would be a never ending cycle. I was down probably $10k of my own money (student loans) when I hit 4 of a kind on Caribean Stud and the dealer qualified. I walked away with about $25k. Since then, I put about $20 in a slot and won nothing, so now...I'm done gambling. I won't even play in friendly little games because I'm an idiot and can't really control my gambling.

[BTcigars]

Scud, thats pretty good that you know you can't control yourself in those situations so you avoid them...keep it up!

Funny this should come up, im not rich by any means but i do enjoy playing some roulette, and i usually come home with some cash. By usually i mean EVERY time minus my most recent trip to Atlantis in the bahamas.

Usually i win enough to pay for a chunk of my trip, i walked out $1500 down this last time

But overall im ahead so im happy

I just went on a cruise and left about 1500 down, but the cruise before that i walked off the ship 10k up. so it basically paid for both trips and my casino time. I was going to the casino quite a bit here a few months ago, but after my power and cable got shut off, i realized that was a bad thing, so I dont play at all anymore.
