Just Had a Win on Video Poker?

Well here’s a question I just had to answering straight away:

Question: I have just won £7000 playing video poker online for only the second time, do you think having such a good win so soon will make me addicted to gambling
Answer: Absolutely!

These casinos were put there for ONE reason only - to TAKE your money! That’s exactly what they WILL do eventually.

If you were just starting out, and you had won NOTHING, how much money would you have been willing to spend before you were to say, "Enough is enough! I don’t want to waste any more of my money!"???

Maybe you were willing to spend £500? Maybe you were willing to spend $1,000??? Pick a number.

Now subtract that number from the amount you’ve won, and take out the other amount of money IF YOU CAN. There is a very good possibility that they won’t even allow you to take out the money until you’ve satisfied some sort of enrollment agreement that you agreed to when you scrolled down all the gibberish stuff and ultimately clicked, "Yes, I agree", when you never actually read all the stuff they wrote.

Anyway, let’s say you finally are allowed to withdraw and you still are lucky enough to have perhaps £6,000. Withdraw £5,000 and say to yourself, "that’s it!"

Really - if it’s possible to actually MAKE money on these sites, you should be able to do it with just £1,000 left, right? Of course you will eventually burn through the rest of that money, too.

It is the point at which you finally run out of money that will decide whether or not you’re addicted.

Let’s imagine that everything plays out exactly the way I said. They don’t allow you to take out any money until you’ve played a certain amount on their casino. You finally meet all the requirements and you only have £6,000. You’ve ALREADY blown £1,000! Then you withdraw £5,000. Then you finally blow your last £1,000!

Forget that you took out £5,000. YOU BLEW £2,000!!! That money WAS YOURS! That was REAL money that you blew. And where did you spend it? At some on-line casino that’s based in some unknown off-shore location where you have no idea how things are really done.

Blowing £2,000 is WAY too much to spend here. If you are tempted at that point to "re-load" and try your luck again, that’s when you will need some help for a gambling problem. If at that point you do NOT get help, you will ultimately give them ALL of the £7,000 back, plus thousands of your own £££.

Congratulations on your win. If you somehow make it out of there with any money and don’t go back, you will be one of the EXTREMELY RARE people that can ever say they’ve made money at an on-line casino. VERY rare!

    Congrats! Just withdraw this win and forget about this game for a while. And don’t try to win more, just withdraw what you win, because usually gamblers lose their wins and their money, if they don’t stop in time.

    It’s called gambling sometimes you win sometimes you loose. So whenever you play any casino game just keep in mind your limits with money. Just don’t think that you are winning so you should play more , this thing can hurt you real bad.
